Opinion Why does this always happen?

[AlzzBulldog]

Every time we play, opposition players lay all over us and we always get dragged back onto our backs and slows down the play the ball but when the opposition gets tackled we arent even allowed to do the same because the ref instantly calls held?

It’s madness.. its a big reason why we aren’t in games

 

[Moedogg]

We need to hump the ground like Michael Hancock and the refs will notice. We don't even sell it, we just let opposition players lay all over us.

 

[Spoonman84]

We have been getting dominated in first contact and the ruck for years. Our wrestle and line speed are non existent.

 

[B-Train]

Because most of our players don't earn the right to quick play the balls. Our back 5 are the worst in the comp in terms of dummy half runs and most of our forwards get dominated too easily.

We don't do those basics well enough and that's more a reflection on the squad and coaching than the refs or any conspiracy.

just watch any bulldogs game and it’s glaringly obvious

 

[capt obvious]

We are not smart enough with the ball to isolate defenders 1 on 1 or 2 def on 1, we are allways gang tackled. Smarter well drilled sides play faster every set due to this, we dont ,simples.

We actually had quicker play the ball speed against Penrith

 

[oldman]

When I was involved in coaching the challenge we gave our players was never to be the last player off the ground.

For some reason we always have someone laying on their back when the opposition team is attacking our goal line. With someone out of the defensive line we are always susceptible to the overlap or a gap in our defensive structure.

Jackson is particularly bad for this.

Something I noticed last night, at least three times, the clock was stopped and the ref told us to go back and play it on the mark. Most times they barely moved from their position and play went on. If it happened to Penrith they'd get a penalty for slowing the ruck or some bullshit. Instead of penalisiing the Panthers for being in the ruck, it slowed play down and basically stuffed those sets.

Another thing that was apparent, was that on many occasions immediately after Penrith made an error, they got a penalty anyway, so the errors didn't cost them. Instead they actually gained from them. Now some of those penalties were probably justified, but it was a strange "coincidence " I noticed several times.

This is coupled with the fact that JMK takes is sweet time passing the ball. Shittest hooker in the comp

Ive noticed something in recent weeks, Its amazing when teams kick for touch, how often the touchie marks the point the ball went out was right on halfway or the 40 metre lines.It happens way to often to be coincidence
