Todays loss was coming for a long time. The dogs have been loosing ugly against wooden spoon teams. On this form dogs will not make the 8. The dogs have been very lackluster in attack. They show no direction, nobody shows leadership and the last play options are the poorerst in the league.
What are the good.
Willie Mason is the only player that has shown anything. He is the only player that deserves to be in the team. And is the only player that turns up week in week out to play.
That about sums up the good.
The bad.
There are 16 players that do not show enough to warrant selection.
Grimaldi imo is on the verge of being dropped. He shows nothing in attack and with virtualy no halfback you need a very attacking lock. When he does hit up he ends up going back.
Omeley has butter hands and probably needs to return to the bench. He needs to put the ball under his arm and run. Max 1 error a game not 4.
hughes needs to learn how to pass and learn how to kick. He has no kicking game. He fluked a 40/20 once and thinks he is the new johns.This guy needs to exit very soon.
holdworthy. I honestly do not see any halfback watsoever in him. He is playing as bad if not worst that sherwin when he was dropped. This guy seems to kick and not tell anybody cause he is the only person who chases. He also stand too too too deep at first reciever. The ball goes far too back and nobody hit the ball. the team should be in a sort of a V formation where the half is the most forward player and everybody else on the outside is a bit futher back and so on til the winger. I dont know what the team is doing. DJ is standing 20 meters back and dogs loose posetion everytime he touches the ball.
Maitua is playing the role of a lock. Toobad he is wearing the number 6. We have a halfback who is a 5/8 and a 5/8 who plays like a lock?????? You cant win games with no half.
Hazem is kicking poorly and is throwing some shocking passes.
SBW is throwing the ball everytime and nobody supports him.
The decent player/ The good
Mason is head and shoulders above the rest of his team mate. This guy goes forward. Put is 120% when on the field where others are only giving 70%. He is the best forward in the game at the moment full stop.
Armit is the second best forward at the club. He gives alot of value with his running game and has a mean tackle. He is also mr no nonscence. Should be in the run on them.
Perry has been our best hooker (lol) He seems this year he knows when to run and knows when to pass. He is also our best defender and seems to have put on a yeard of pace. Dont know about his top speed but seems to have great accelaration this year.
Ryan is doing all he can. He is not playing as well as he did in 04 but who is. He is very valuable in defence and is very good at running wide.
For a period of 20 mins against manly the dogs played very well. They threw the ball wide and where excellent in attack and defence. Than when they wehre in with a chance of winning the dogs miss to goals and give away another try.
The ugly.
Post sherwin the team has been very very poor in attack. They are showing sings they are a below par team without him. The last three games against low quality opposition they have been ugly in attack at best.
The verdict. On form dogs wont make the eight. They will no beat a team in the 8 and they will finish outside the top 10.
That is my 2 cents
And it is open to discussion.
