It's been a year worth of mistakes champ, not just today. Inu has been in the side all year, Barba has been out most of the year. Why the fck change the team up this last fortenight? Where is the logic in that? There has been no aggression from this side all year! Hope for next year? Are you being serious? Have you watched every game the bulldogs have played this year?This thread is a joke! Des made a mistake today, however any great coach would've done the same thing. He needed to put Barba in, he thought Barba could provide that spark we needed but it backfired. You can't possibly put all the blame on Hasler for the players fault. Yes he did not put the greatest line up on, but he believed these players could get through.. But you know what i blame the players they came with the intention they would win easily and played with no agression. THEY GOT WHAT THEY DESERVED... Thank you to players like josh reynolds providing some hope for next year!
Our liability is off to the broncos next year thankfullyId rather sack the liabilities in our squad before we sack Des. A coach is only as good as his cattle. Some players are over weight, others put more effort in their tweeting than what they put on the paddock and others are just genuine grubs. Lets get rid of or correct the playing personnel who are a liability to our team first and then look at the coach. Sure, Des has made some mistakes, he's human but the season has been crap for us from round 1 with all the off field drama.
Amen. The one sentence summary of today would be that this season, Eniis, Tolman and Graham have held us together at times and today all three were below par.Yes, Barba was average today, but I wasn't his fault we lost. Our forwards were soft!
To be fair, we were good for 20mins. They we continually did stupid stuff all game and let them have their way with us.Yes, Barba was average today, but I wasn't his fault we lost. Our forwards were soft!
If that's how you feel why don't you just stop posting and supporting the dogs now? We have had a year affected by every rumor you could think of surrounding one bloke who has in turn ****ed around our team because he's a self serving prick, take the turmoil out of the club and full off season to get everyone's head right and any rifts caused by barba will be gone and they'll be back playing for each other, people are forgetting that this was our first consecutive finals season in 6 or more years. We were coming last in the first 5 rounds with 4 or 5 first graders out and we ended the season 2 or 3 wins behind manly and Melbourne who btw both lost their first finals matchIt's been a year worth of mistakes champ, not just today.

I think you were baited Moey lolLOL are you f*cking kidding me?
Wake up to yourselves you f*cking morons.
The guy has made bad decisions this year, and today's lineup was no different. Yeah that's a given but it doesn't warrant being sacked. That's pathetic.
Yeah we may have high expectations of our team and we have a team capable of more yet we've had a horror season riddled with injuries, drama and speculation.
In the end its Des who coaches the team but the team that delivers. Its not Des who drops the ball and its not Des who milks penalties. Its the players who need to pull up and the attitude tonight was horrendous.
We've removed the cancer that is Ben Barba and we have a new fresh slate to work with.
Head up guys, we don't call for the head of our coach after one f*cking season.
At least we aren't Raiders or the Eels.
you can't be serious on sacking Hasler. With what we went throught this year with injuries and suspensions and the barba saga any other team would not make the finals... lets be honest this year from the start looked like it wasn't our year ..he is directly responsible for this game, a few weeks ago we were matching souths try for try and the team had scored 82 points in 3 games, including 13 tries by the outside backs alone in those 3 games, and we were cruising towards the finals
so what does the genius do, he tweaks with that backline and brings back the showpony/snake into the mix, and the result is the team fold and put in back to back dud games, scoring 11 and 6 points respectively and playing the pitter patter side to side crap again
he got the credit for taking a midfield team to the top, so he should take the blame for then returning that team to the midfield
I never thought the fans are all nrl experts... if coaches have to listen to the fans there will be half the team getting dropped every week ..Dck head Des has been protecting T. Williams all year. Why, why fkn why? $600,000+ for what? The club doesn't give a shit about the fans or what we have to say. Us fans come out on a forum to express our disgust in certain players and Des will say that particular player has been playing well. We must be watching different games to Desmond. Fkn wake up!!
Hahaha nah it wasn't only directed at sawtell girl even though her posts piss me off more consistently than the bulldogs performances.I think you were baited Moey lol

Apologies Tegga , I think I accidentally thumb you down , but I thumb you up on this same post to make up for itHe took us to gf his first year and his second year he got us to our first consecutive final series in a while, he rolled the dice with barba but how could he have known exactly how soft a cock barba is, wait til next year and I'm sure things will be completely different and he also can't be blamed for players not putting in the aggression needed to win finals football
