I don't even like the kennel episodes I think they are a complete waste of time. I don't care if RFM cried when he became captain or all these one on one interviews they have on what it means to play for this club etc. Maybe Gus/Ciraldo can actually focus on how to execute any attacking play but all they care about is sponsorships and saving face on this supposed 'turnaround'
Legit me too
What about the Rorters
What do you expect they dished up u9's rubbish
So the entire team, coach, and club shit, and the year is done and dusted because of one poor game.
The only way the Dogs finish in the top 8 is if there's only 8 teams in the comp. The team is utter shite and sadly the majority of the good players recruited get dragged down to the low standard of the existing players. I can't remember when a gun player recruited into the club over the last 8 years became a better player at the Dogs.
Oh no ive gotta grow up!
like,have we not learnt our lesson trying to copy the panthers style? It blows my fucking mind how they don’t see Barrett tried this exact same shit and it was a disaster. Did the whole coaching staff just forget thisOur defence was good tbf, repelled Manly for multiple sets on our line and overall they didn't really look like threatening. We were even getting in Toms face early and limiting his impact on the game and even forced him into errors.
Everything else was a complete disaster. Burton alone is down for 4 errors but that's easily more than doubled when you include all the other dumb shit he did like throwing hospital balls to multiple players, not kicking, failing to dive on loose balls, etc. We then got hammered in set restarts, conceded multiple repeat sets from DCE, etc. We were fucking gassed and Manly only ended up crossing for their second after a ridiculous sin bin and HIA to Kiraz that pretty much fucked our right edge defence.
I think we can bounce back if we cut down even just half of the dumb errors. Props are an obvious issue, as is our attack. Attack just looks like more cookie cutter panther shit. Very flat, very left edge dominated, right edge gets very little ball. I don't get the obsession with this absolutely hate it. We don't even have the chemistry or class to pull this off in the first place. The stupid take from all this is that our only line break against Manly came from the right edge after a couple of quick darts at the defence, nothing fancy. Just simple footy with player pushing up in support that eventually created the space for the break to be made. But na, obsess over the left fucking edge all fucking game. I think I just talked myself out of believing we can turn this around by the end of this paragraph
It's so hard to watch. I can not stand having a 5/8 playing in such a narrow corridor, drives me absolutely insane. Mason pretty much said the boys didn't follow the game plan so I'll try and take some belief from that and hope we come out with something different in attack against the storm...
Glad you said that, I stopped reading at that point too. 31 points never says your "D" was good LMAO.
This……
