+x+x+x+x+x+xThis is what concerns me, the team we have on paper is almost a competent first grade side. They have played in other systems and are far from duds. We don't need improvement, what we need is for these players to understand and trust their new team mates, get off their lazy arses and play to their potential... you can only blame Barrett for so much after that it is committment from the players. If we get the spoon this year then that falls squarely on the players who were just taking the cash and not caring about the club, their team mates or the fans, which is exactly the same attitude displayed by Des and co when they were here. I think it is going to take a bit of time before we start getting players who are truly proud to pull on a Bulldogs jersey and will service the club accordingly. At the moment we are just a communal lounge where players come to make a bit of easy cash before thinking about their future while at the same time, paying scant regard to ours. This side has more attacking ability than we have had. Flanagan has only been in the side a couple of weeks. I understand why Baz started with Burton, Averillo and BBO, I might have done the same thing. But Flanagan and Wakeham have added a lot to the side. Defence wise, we can't expect Jacko to make all the tackles. In the middle Baz need3 to think about how to improve the defence. On the edges players need to build combinations and work together. Had we started in round 1 with this line up, we might be doing better now. Mostly it looks to me like players are trying. The are making dumb mistakes which is probably a lack of patience and confidence. The lapses in defence are mostly not working together and being too passive, again confidence is an issue. Some wins will do wonders for our side. The first few wins are the hardest to earn. In terms of the squad and coach, review it after round 10 and again after round 15. The team has progessed and the cap is sorted. Worst case, we need a new coach and a few more new players. If he is available, Flanagan senior might be what we need, but no need to rush Baz out the door, give him a chance. Flanno Sr…. No thanks! Okay… bye now Did you get a call from the dogs? 12 players unavailable, anyone who knows what a football is might get a run. Covid is code for a bonding session with Dman pouring the drinks. Can’t stand looking at Flanno’s fake white chops…. Must be the folks that live in the Shire! Maybe Flanno went to the same place Dman got his butt lift That comment about Dman reminded me of the good old days. When we used to sing his praises, and celebrate his lack of virtue. How is Dman?

If the reports that the covid source was the Tuesday night dinner is there more to come. 30% fale readings for RAT tests and the delay between exposure and positive test result is a worry.

This covid outbreak could be a "get out of jail free" card for a lot of people at the club... though it seems the club just can't take a trick at the moment... things have got to turn around for the better soon.

Possibly coaching/direction, it was tolerated for a long time. My best guess is Tols and our dummy-halfs developed bad habits under Des which later coaches found hard to eradicate. Baz probably decided early Tols was going. It is no surprise that after a wake up call and reset in a new environment he is playing better. Sometimes it is just best for both parties to move on and try another option. If we go back a few seasons when the defence was great, the cornerstone of that was Jacko, Lichaa, Tols and Jimmy Graham. Jacko is last man standing, we needed to fix the attack and getting the attack right before the defence makes sense. But I wonder if someone like Topine should come into the side. For Tols had he stayed I doubt that he would have been any better. A smart coach might have had Tols playing as s ballplaying lock 5 years ago. Getting him to pass at least stops him running it up. His defence was always great.

We don't need improvement, what we need is for these players to understand and trust their new team mates, get off their lazy arses and play to their potential... you can only blame Barrett for so much after that it is committment from the players. If we get the spoon this year then that falls squarely on the players who were just taking the cash and not caring about the club, their team mates or the fans, which is exactly the same attitude displayed by Des and co when they were here. I think it is going to take a bit of time before we start getting players who are truly proud to pull on a Bulldogs jersey and will service the club accordingly. At the moment we are just a communal lounge where players come to make a bit of easy cash before thinking about their future while at the same time, paying scant regard to ours. This side has more attacking ability than we have had. Flanagan has only been in the side a couple of weeks. I understand why Baz started with Burton, Averillo and BBO, I might have done the same thing. But Flanagan and Wakeham have added a lot to the side. Defence wise, we can't expect Jacko to make all the tackles. In the middle Baz need3 to think about how to improve the defence. On the edges players need to build combinations and work together. Had we started in round 1 with this line up, we might be doing better now. Mostly it looks to me like players are trying. The are making dumb mistakes which is probably a lack of patience and confidence. The lapses in defence are mostly not working together and being too passive, again confidence is an issue. Some wins will do wonders for our side. The first few wins are the hardest to earn. In terms of the squad and coach, review it after round 10 and again after round 15. The team has progessed and the cap is sorted. Worst case, we need a new coach and a few more new players. If he is available, Flanagan senior might be what we need, but no need to rush Baz out the door, give him a chance. Flanno Sr…. No thanks! Okay… bye now Did you get a call from the dogs? 12 players unavailable, anyone who knows what a football is might get a run. Covid is code for a bonding session with Dman pouring the drinks. Can’t stand looking at Flanno’s fake white chops…. Must be the folks that live in the Shire! Maybe Flanno went to the same place Dman got his butt lift That comment about Dman reminded me of the good old days. When we used to sing his praises, and celebrate his lack of virtue. How is Dman? Probably drunk some where? Since you are posting less, he is lacking inspiration and guidance. Well hopefully Dr Marki has been kind & polite to Dman Dr Marki is now Tolman's biggest fan, quite a change. I bet Doc had a lazy $100 on Tol’s to be first tryscorer in his 300th game The only lazy one in Tolmans 300th was Tolman himself. In fairness, I caught a fair bit of the Storm-Sharks game and I noticed Tolman was playing the Isaah Yeo role and in fact was doing it better than Jacko! Who would have thunk that Tolman had a pass in him? The prick never passed once when he played for us and was just a roadblock for nearly a decade..... Just maybe the problem lay elsewhere. Possibly coaching/direction, it was tolerated for a long time. Tolman always had a pass, he displayed that in 2012 when our pack was playing out the back quite often. He has no post-contact metres and gets in the way too often in attack.

And I think probably only Jacko & RFM of the players Next season with Reed on board completely different spine. I don't think that our attack is much like DesBall these days, we are trying to be Penrith. Burton kicks some great bombs, Duffty is a dangerous ball runner and a good passer. Mostly the attack is much better. The defence was much better when Des was coach, more work required. Best to rule a line on the past, take this season as it comes and don't have unrealistic expectations. Next season with a proper starting hooker and building on this season I expect a lot more. My gut feel is we might beat the Broncos, our team is improving, and the new players will want to take their chance.

I hope you’re right… we need a win & if JMK & Jackson can keep the hell away from the ball, then we’re a chance! Barrett trying to make Jackson into our I Yeo version is not working! Jackson can’t pass if his life depends on it.

I have been over the bullshit since it started. Hasler was sacked because the board was scared of the fans. The fans of every club make emotional and ignorant statements about their footy club. And like a great man once said. If you listen to the fans you’ll soon be sitting next to them in the stands.
Haslers record as coach with us is one of the best of any coach for us. Made finals every year. One minor premiership and two grand finals. Would have been better if his control of football operations wasn’t given then restricted.

Sharks look invincible with the ball in the first half and vulnerable without it in the second.

We have to stop blaming the refs. Not blaming the ref for our loss, just asking the question. The refs are never consistent. Over the course of the season the best 2 sides normally contest the GF. Mostly the best side wins the GF. Occasionally sides are robbed, but they get a chance to right that next season. We have been on the wrong ebd of poor performances from Sutton over the years, but probably only 1-2 wins per season.

We have been on the wrong ebd of poor performances from Sutton over the years, but probably only 1-2 wins per season. You're right, but look at 20/21. Two points could change the top four and top eight. Four points could have changed the minor premiers. So its not insignificant. I've never been a believer in things evening up. Robbed in a grand final does not equate to getting the rub of the green in round one next season. The only way to correct a problem is to identify it, acknowledge it and take corrective action.

I think the problem is that you believe that is possible.
Refs are human. Humans make errors. Humans have biases. Humans are inconsistent. While we have human refs we will have incorrect decisions.
Even with the video ref. The decisions are sometimes poor. What can the NRL do?

I don’t think their is a sport in the world that doesn’t have fans blaming officials for bad decisions. It’s best to try not to take the sport to seriously

Robbed in a grand final does not equate to getting the rub of the green in round one next season. The only way to correct a problem is to identify it, acknowledge it and take corrective action. All that can be done is go through official channels, then escalate. Level 1 - write a detailed complaint to the NRL about any suspect game. Level 2 - if 2 or more previous complaints about a particular ref, reference them in the latest complaint. Level 3 - leak 5 or more written complaints about a ref to the media. The NRL will not like level 3, I would expect fines / stripping of comp points. But officially the leak needs to be deniable and very much at arms length. IMO cases of a ref with a strong bias against a club are rare but do happen. If we can assemble strong evidence, then level 3 is acceptable as the last resort.
