Trial Team News Bulldogs VS Knights

[FZ1-S]

It's all by design though. We literally ran that double block play every tackle in the oppositions red zone and the ball either died with the forward at first receiver or died with the half if the ball eventually made it to them because the defence was already in their face and had slid across. We were flat, lacked intensity and lacked any off the ball movement. Even the try Dufty setup was nothing flash, just bare basic ball movement well before the line finished off with a good long ball to a totally unmarked winger, I don't even think we had extra numbers lol.

There's obviously issues like JMK's awful service, lack of Yeo like ball player and sloppy errors, but I don't think we did anything more than play through motions tonight in attack....however if this IS what we plan on doing this season then Baz will be out the door and we will have a new coach for 23.

100%

 

[BMOC]

Creedence should be on a wing partnering the fox.

Naden and Schoupp in centres and Alamoti as a backup until older.

Dude even Allan is better than okunbor .

 

[Bulldogs09]

Time like that I wish we landed Shaun Johnson and didn’t have Flanagan on same sorta $ ffs.

 

[Shreksno1]

BBO pretty bad as well.

Cook and King are looking the goods though.

Bbl needs to be bench hooker, absolutely carves up and can be used to kill id we had a smart coach, he’s being rushed into a spot he isn’t built for

 

[Mr T]

BBO came through as a 7 so did Wakeham

BBO looked promising but Wakeham is a lost cause.

It’s good to hear from the coach that our attack was last year and not much improved this game , even though it was a trial , focus would have been on finishing sets off .. we didn’t .

We started poorly and individual errors cost us . Almamoti you can excuse as he’s at least a season or 2 off first grade and his defensive reads needs to improve dramatically but Okunbor and Averillo is exactly the same shit we got last year .. sub standard performance with infrequent glimpses of quality .

Defensive structures looked solid looking forward to seeing our full left side in action

I was surprised at how honest Baz was. He was clearly unhappy (as he should be) but said what anyone who knows a bit about footy that we had no one controlling in the middle.

 

[From the area]

After Baz comments and performances tonight. I think most positions are sorted. I have a feeling they will persist with Averillo.

1.Dufty
2.jaC
3.Schopp
4.naden
5. Allen/burns/casey
6.Burton
7. Averillo
8. Vaughn
9.JMK
10.Thompson
11. Tevita
12.Herhrington
13. Jackson
14. Cook/Bbo
15. Patalo
16. King
17. RFM

Don’t put the 7 next to Averillo you’ll give me ulcers. He’s was easily one of the shittest players For us. All preseason he’s had at 7 and he still has a piss poor IQ for the game. It is unfair on Burton to have such a shit player next to him. Please don’t compare him to Jerome Hughes either. Averillo doesn’t have 10% of the talent Hughes does.

 

[jake6]

Agree with this though I’d almost prefer bbo then jake at 7.

Rfm out injured should see avo in though the size of bench could be to big.

All I know is Casey has to push ahead of allen and Okonbor at worst.

Okonbor was terrible in defence. Stimson was completely and utterly useless as fuck.

I was super impressed with king and cook (even if the reserves where on) they stood out and looked hungry to win.

Both have to be there for me. Bbo is someone I think fighting jake for 7. Wakeham to obviously.

At this point I’d let burton decide who starts with him for the trial against the sharks. Then give another crack to the other 2
Second half (e.g burton avo) (bbo wakeham) cause if averilo looks as poor next to burton I’d rather whoever stands up out of bbo and wakeham get round 1 chance.

Yeh not necessarily, my team. Just listening to Baz after the game makes me think this will be it. I would prefer BBo at 7 also and tevita in the middle but, tevita basically said he will be playing 80 minutes. Okunbor has to go.

Wakeham was solid in defence and had some good touches

 

[Shreksno1]

All jokes aside, all our options for HB suck arse.

Which shit **** gets the jersey?

We are gonna lose burto

 

[Tassie Devil]

Because we are long suffering fans FFS.

Plus I ran out of nose candy to calm me down lol

FFS mate. why didn't you tell me?

I'll give Uncle Escobar a call and get another sub sent to Sydney. Will send the pidgeon with the details mate.

 

[chisdog]

A good coach with tell Okunbor to mark his opposite winger

Absolutely. It happens so often it MUST be a team plan. It's not just Okunbor who does it either. Surely Gus should have pointed this out to the wingers & Barrett by now?

 

[KiwiDog7]

We had fuck all ball but he isn't dominant enough, Knights front row ran through him all game.

Klemmer was better than both Thommo and Vaughan today ….

 

[The DoggFather]

FFS mate. why didn't you tell me?

Make it quick! I don't like this "reality" bullshit.

 

[dogluvver]

Amen brother, 10/10 for that one.!!

Hopefully Hannah Hollis can join us too

 

[chisdog]

And have some deadwood

Amazing that any team that releases 15 players STILL has so much deadwood like we do.

 

[Scoooby]

Hopefully Hannah Hollis can join us too

I’m sure pretty boy TBAZ could get them both in the kennel !!

 

[KiwiDog7]

Amazing that any team that releases 15 players STILL has so much deadwood like we do.

Sad, but the fact was definitely reinforced tonight

 

[dogluvver]

Wakeham was solid in defence and had some good touches

That seems to be his usual game though unfortunately. Solid but nothing brilliant.

 

[Total Fool]

Damn you Dominic Perritoit…. Not only today did he oversee the Train Network strike, but also our entire Halves network
