Who is to blame for our dismal season?

[rexest]

I also blame management i beleive that they have gone too far with the whole clean up the clubs image **** by buying soft cocks over the last 24 months our forwards bar 1 or 2 are just plain soft, How they rejected players like mason (players who offer grunt aggression cohanas ****ING GO FORWARD,HITS ET fkn C), Not players like hodgo and waburton the whole family club **** went too far, Winning a premiership and being a force in the game should be the main fkn priority.

the coach. poor selections

 

[no1bulldog]

i think this year compared to last year the big difference is players coming off contract and leaving etc. Last year everyone was signed and sealed , this year we had hannant wanting to leave and that dragged on, and as soon as that was sorted we've had kimmorely drag out his crap (and still is) and that might be why he has been playing shiit house he's thinking about his future, playing this year, his media commitments etc, then we had the speculation that josh morris wanted to go back to saints, and that ryan was unwanted and was leaving but is now staying, patten wants out to go to super league. half our players have there mind on what they're doing next year

 

[waveraider]

kevin moore as simply as that.

 

[The Beer Baron]

The inability to TACKLE !!!!

FFS, why oh why do they try to tackle around the chest of forward running at them??? At the start of the 2nd half there were more tackle being made around the legs and it made a sh!tload of difference.

 

[Untamed]

Lets face it, we have quite a few players in our team that would'nt make first grade anywhere else.
As for Kevin moore, He's lack of leadership & the amount of crap that comes out of his mouth, he'd be moore suited being a politician.

 

[GrogDog]

Mainly KM due to taking 16 rounds to change the team up, season over by that stage! The players for showing no balls what-so-ever for 16 rounds requiring a team change and a lack of quality FG's or depth to replace our injured forwards! Is KM rooting Warburton or what? Whats the inside scoop on that issue???? Its been a hard season to bear with the lack of professionalism from all concerned, hurry up GF so I can forget this year! If we don't get someone like Eastwood in the off season I can't see us going well next year either, we NEED impact!!!!!!!

 

[simmmo]

moore is bad. less of moore is good. no moore is even better.

Get sticky stuart in right now!!!

You can't blame the mechanic if you haven't driven the car properly. The fault cannot be found in just one instance. It is a whole lot of little things that add up to one big disaster. Obviously, there is uncertainty in the team; there are players who have not put in, and there are players who have stayed one season too long in first grade.

Committment has not been shared equally, as a great club would do. We have players putting their bodies on the line, alongside others who are planning their off season holidays. Coaches are not allowed to use the stocks or carry firearms, so there is only so much that they can do.

 

[Bulldogs09]

i think there is a long list.

1. no second phaze play (loss of eastwood)
2. no desperation to stop the other team offloading and wraping up the ball
3. alot of injuries to forwards and obviously roberts
4. hannants little piss fight
5. poor form from a few players e.g patten, morris, kimmorley (has been in decent form lately)
6. to many similar players in the pack e.g warburton, stagg, green then hodgson, armit etc
7. some dud recruitments (halatau, paea ALTHOUGH the past few weeks has been great and if healthy will be worth it)
8. some very poor calls from the refs (as usual)
9. the coach refusing to put a boot in the ass of the underpreformers
10. we were targetered hard and did not step up to the pressure of our expectactions

 

[Bob dog]

We were hit hard with injuries early in the season but last nights defence was dismal.
Its a team effort when we win and its a team effort when we lose.

 

[Bakes]

Too many players a year past it

 

[sirpartyman]

Too many players a year past it

I concur

 

[Q-Tip]

bigdog2. jk, more the players and the coaching staff.

 

[BankstownBulldog]

Fear and Loathing^^ Great movie lol.

 

[Najj]

Kevin moore , if he started barba prematurely we would have a massive chance to be in the top 8

 

[belmore_utd]

i blame topshelfnews for distablising harmony within the club by reporting inaccurately and by using their media outlet as a means to make personal and biased agendas aired in a public forum

 

[habibsta]

Kevin Moore
Terrible coaching never pushed to go button till the last second

Peter Mulholland
Signing anything with a heart beat

Greenburg
Had a policy of not recruiting troublemakers recruited Romelo but wouldnt consider Carney

 

[likeadoggy]

the forwards are to blame for being the softest bunch of ****s i've ever seen

 

[THE BIRD]

luke patten has had a deadset below average year

his best game was probably against the tigers the 1st time we played other than that his support play on line breaks is rubbish he is way too slow and his defense is non existent never really saves tries anymore

agree that he's been below his best...
his error vs the worriors cost us the game and he has looked slow all year.
but he's 2nd or 3rd in the league for metres. The general has been our most consistant performer over the last 4-5 years.
the bloke is a legend!!!
cant blame him for the way the TEAM has performed this year.

We failed because.........
our forwards lacked PUNCH!
injuries and positional changes.
MOORE's persistance with warburton was an epic FAIL!
