The reason why we are getting monstered

[DogDays]

The Kennel is too farkin funny.. Just last week the “experts” were hailing Waddell as the lock we “must” have, after 1 decent game...

Exactly.

Seriously. Waddell is average.

 

[DogDays]

They aren't experts, they are flip flops. All it takes is one good game for the hype to start on here.

If you want to call it a good game.

Against Cronulla, we were lucky to get away with it.

Another 5 mins and Cronulla would have put 10 points on us.

It’s pretty obvious but a back row of Elliot, C Smith and Waddell is laughable for first grade these days, and on top of that having Napa in there as well, it’s a recipe for disaster and don’t get me started on s katoa.
we need a whole new forward pack bar Thompson

Problem is, we play like we don’t even have a game plan. A bunch of aimless vessels out there.

The response after half time just sums it up. They’re pathetic. You would expect a little sugar hit at least after half time. But...not these guys.

It is beyond embarrassing. They are three times worse than what they were dishing up when Georgallis was coaching.

And Ferris on the side advising Barrett is laughable.

 

[Novdoggie]

We need to rid the losing culture which means everyone off contract must go.
No if's or buts just get rid of them

 

[KiwiDog7]

Did I read C Smith made 58 tackles on the edge?

For $850K, our highest paid player, Thompson is not leading like he should.

Yes the three you mentioned are well below NRL average forwards but having an absolute bullocks 9 is putting the whole forward pack on the back foot.

OP Aren't you that clown who complained every game to sack Pay? Ignoring that its the players who arent first grade quality?

Yes, yes you are

 

[Chris Harding]

Just need to work out what is missing for next year.

Need to work out what's not working this year, too.

 

[The DoggFather]

I agree but fuck Thompson played shit last night, even his effort of the ball was lethargic.

He would be lethargic carrying the bunch of pussies that call themselves forwards...

 

[Kelpie03]

If your packs getting monstered as ours is, we have to change game plan. Would be boring but probably suit if we just use our outside backs to dummy half run, one after the other. Our halves can’t create no one can, so just use Cotric, DWZ, Meaney to dummy half run. Straight in behind the ruck. If we can gain momentum through quick play the balls, straight to Averillo to try his hand. Save our shit forwards for more defensive work, as there obviously struggling to tackle anything at the moment.

A better kicking game would help our forwards as much as anything else in 2 ways it will keep our forwards fresher and tire the opposition forwards more.
That's why Flanno must go, Avo and Lewis have much better kicking games.

 

[Magilla]

Thompson was worse than all of them last night lol.

Yes he had a bad game due to some dropped ball however he's a good player.

I’ve watched the riff and have family coaching there. I watched parra reserve today. And in my opionion the are both aggressive in D. They get off there. Line with intent. And that causes dominance. We lack that. We really need some aggressive with and without the ball. The aggression puts a question mark in the defence and attack.

For the want if a better term “bringing back the madness” that Pay and the club promised but never delivered..

 

[gibbobulldog]

Because we are SHIT

 

[EXPLORER]

You tell 'em Fear.

Need you in there calling out ALL THE BLOODY EXCUSES.

Haha,
I'm the biggest softy there is but honestly.
Perspective guys

Yes, yes you are

And who was responsible for putting the side together clown?

 

[David holland]

2 props and a hooker is a must, releasing of Stimson early too,RFM needs to be a 13 and hit it up the middle,we don't need backs atm ,we need go forward fast

 

[Blueandwhiteblood1968]

He hurt his back carrying his wallet!!

 

[Papa Joe]

I agree with you in that Thompson is a good player & probably our best forward in our current squad.
However, I see him as a 2nd play prop.
Unfortunately we are without a genuine 1st play prop... One big mean behemoth of a man that scatters players with every run.
Thompson would work much better on a run following that behemoth.

 

[finchie]

Coz we have pussies and cowards imitating first grade players out in the forward pack
These mutts couldn’t squash a grape if the tried
