Official Round 6 - Bulldogs vs Sharks - Discussion Thread

[boggie23]

Very respectable result by the boys and they should be very proud. Been a while since we’ve been able to claw our way back into games. Was really good to watch.

 

[Dannyboi88]

At the end of the day Wakeham been around around 5 mins with no game time priorband Lewis the imposter been around few years now and can’t get it right I like wakeham give him a few weeks to get some games under his belt before we unleash the hounds on him

 

[Bulldog John]

If Crichton doesn't play tonight we win the game.

 

[diddly]

Napa was terrible tonight - seems so slow taking hit ups not suited to the new game - Jackson no longer has the speed to be an edge forward - he would be effective in the middle. The Sharkies forwards are not that good but they dominated the middle.

Nothing 6 or 7 quality signings wont fix in 2021!

 

[Precise]

Soon your guna say let wankerham play for Australia wanker

3 likes and we ban this gronk.

 

[Alexander the Great]

Let the kid have a full season in the role before making judgement.

Lewis has had 4 years.

Took Andrew Johns like 3 years to become a quality 1st grader and he was 1st choice halfback every week

 

[ibby]

We have nothing boys it’s the same old story no our fowards a still 1st reciver’s on the 4th and 5th tackle we need a hooker a s a p

 

[El Padrino]

the boys played well tonight

shame it took Pay 5 games to realise that Lewis was shit

 

[Turvey Chip and Chase]

I respect your opinion and there's no doubting his toughness and ability but his body isn't up to it anymore and he showed no desire the last two games to help his younger halves partner and hooker out when they needed his experience.

I do see your point.

I’d like to see him with a bit more talent around him

 

[jpneves]

Our attack is just ‘one dimensional’ it’s pass and ‘hope!’
Players like Avirello and Wakeham play more of what’s in front of them.
We just still have our halves getting the ball off a backrower with the d on them
We have again a slow dummy half that doesn’t adjust the tempo we need our forwards to play the ball faster!
We need a dummy half who can kick and or make a dart to get us on a roll.
Centres and backrowers her the ball flat footed
We need an attack or halves coach who can get get our halves to take the ball on the run switch sides and have players in motion
We played better today but still we are way below all the other teams

 

[dogwhisperer]

I far enjoyed this match over last weeks game that was over within 10 minutes.
Alot of effort tonight.
It's very sad of the last few years but it's probably the best loss we have had in along time.

Yep, there was a slight glimpse of the dogs of war, we played tough, but we’re just short of some class players and good finishes with pace and ones that sniff around the ruck always supporting.

 

[hackenbush]

At least a better effort, the sharks through a lot at them. Areas that worked & areas to be fixed.
* Smith is not a Centre, let's end the experiment
* Avarillo certainly look good when attacking. His one-in-one defence was his best improvement. Positional defense still work in progress.
*Foran solid like other weeks, but you want your $million man having much more influence on the game. Somewhat disappointing.
* forwards matched the sharks pack. Renouf getting better each week. Ogden needs more minutes to get match fitness.
* Holland looked more dangerous that JMK, although he had a better game today.
* ball moves slowly to our backline with 1 or 2 forwards Involved. Wakeham / Foran need to get quick ball

 

[B-Train]

Mate if Foran didn’t play we would have been beaten by 40! You could here him calling out the defense issues. And we would have had no attack at all! He was no where near the worse player tonight! Adam Elliot was by far the best though

We pay him a million a year to do more than defend though... He kicked it four times and barely ran it. He looks well off the pace and is making Wakeham/Lewis/JMK do way too much of the heavy lifting when he's ten times the footballer those guys are.

Need a quality coach and to add more quality to the roster. Wakeham could be our 7 and Averillo 1. Id have no problem with that.

 

[maroondog72]

Wheres all the wankeham wankers another shit c*** dead beat no where to be seen

Your eyes must be Fukn painted on

 

[Alexander the Great]

He is a dumb ****.

[Alexander the Great]

Avo looks dangerous... could be our future under the right guidance

[Alexander the Great]

I dont think he has eyes mate

Your eyes must be Fukn painted on

 

[Heckler]

I said it from day one. Is there a betting option on how many set restarts in a game? The fix is on!

100%

 

[CaptainJackson]

At the end of the day Keegan been around around 5 mins with no game time and Lewis the imposter been around few years now and can’t get it right I like wakeham give him a few weeks to get some games under his belt before we unleash the hounds on him

He needs more games to get used to the pace of 1st grade. He showed bits and pieces. The grubber was more a case of him not being used to the speed yet.

Don't forget hes been off for 10 weeks and hasn't played a game.
