Official Round 9 - Bulldogs vs Broncos - Discussion Thread

[CBDoggies]

Broncs are in such bad form any other team would be 12-18 up... we are just a dumb team who don’t know how to find the try line

 

[SPEARTAKVIDREFS]

Keep Thomo and sack the whole club

What about Avogo?

 

[Kempsey Dog]

Reimis Smith footy IQ of an ant

Worst centre in the comp no contest

 

[ash160]

Broncs are so shit

 

[Bullpit]

There are some fundamental issues with the team, the coaching and our Management - to come up with this absolute drivel at this stage the Comp is inexcusable. Let these imposters who don’t deserve to wear the Doggies jersey and manage this once great club pixx off!

 

[Trafford10]

Seriously while our starting props are Nappa & Tolman we are fucking kidding ourselves.

 

[CaptainJackson]

Tolmans defence is a myth

We've finally had big forwards on with aggression and our defence through the middle is so much fucking better

 

[NPC83]

At least Wakeham has a crack and didn’t throw the ball into the grand stand... more time on the clock and it wasn’t so bad..

Half time report


I will take that. Another hard fought 40 minutes against a tough and spirited Broncos team who's lowly position and recent form is seriously misleading.


Stand outs for me;


Tolman - love his never say die attitude, demanding the ball all night on the 4th tackle. Cannot blame him for dropping a ball clean on the second as his teammates should have known better. We need this guy on an extension deal asap, it's only a matter of time before the Roosters or Bankstown Ballerinas notice his strength, speed and barnstorming runs and make an offer.


Jackson - Captain inspiration. Those 2 metre carries do add up to about 10 metres at the end of the game which is no easy feat in this twilight zone of his career. Once again he rallied the troops with so much passion that he was too tired to make an effective tackle.


DWZ- Always a breath of fresh air when he runs the ball. Constant danger going forward , lots of penetrating runs, which if he remembered to hold the ball with him, would have resulted in another dropped ball on any other day.


Dean Pay - as always a figure of confidence and stability up in the coach’s box. He emanates such a divine like light that when his players look up and jump to catch bombs the light almost becomes a distraction. Inspired by his team’s performance so much so that he was ready to break out into tears at any moment.


Sione Katoa- showed why he is already a fan favourite without having a played a game in the club colours. Not his fault for being replaced 20 mins in. Pay clearly didn’t want him stealing all the limelight from fellow debutant Thompson who is clearly nowhere near Katoa’s ability. Seen heading straight to the nearest Maccas at halftime. Well deserved early mark

Very lucky to go in there 10 - 4.
Much better last 15 minutes.
The problem our starting props have to come back on.

Our starting should be on the bench and the bench props should be starting

 

[Scoooby]

Worst part is, we should fucking beat the donkeys.!!!

 

[NPC83]

Thommo with Walmsley would have been such a devastating front row partnership...

 

[Kempsey Dog]

That was a beautiful finish from Meaney

If we sign Cotric in want Meaney right wing outside him, fuck DWZ/Smith

 

[GrogDog]

What about Avogo?

Whole club from the top down are shit! Keep Thomo and isolate him before it rubs off on him and ruins him.

 

[Bull Terrier]

shame, our errors are our undoing

yeah i agree, although think broncs have been lucky first 15 mins all that ball and 6 again and penalties

 

[hayes]

Yh I'll cop errors like this over flat out dumb play and stupid drop balls. Our passing has been absolutely atrocious today though, no suprise that our try came from a ball going directly to Wakeham who then went to Foran.

If we were playing nearly anyone else we would down by 20. Lucky Brisbane are utter shit as well.

 

[GrogDog]

Where is DWZ from last year because this one is useless.

Napa needs to get his shit together , been a dreadful signing

 

[Interestingg]

Napa is up there with Trex, Ben Hunt and Adam Blair as one of the worst buys of the 21st century

 

[SLushY]

One thing I can appreciate about Katoa is at least he’s a hooker with a quick direct ball out of dummyhalf
