Yeah, I see you're all grown up.

I don't even think's Dib's in the game.

As I said the other day The Leagues Club Board's involved, at least one, and a big one, and let's be blunt - it's Coorey. The Chairman, the biggest one.

So It's The Andersons and their clique v Coorey backing Dunn and their clique. And I doubt either has any time or care for Dibb or what he thinks.

And as I said I got no horse in this race because there's negatives to both. One has proven themselves directionless and the other destructive. One has Ando the other has Heaps. In a perfect world I'd put them all to the sword and start again.... without Dib and his clique too.

But it's not a perfect world, they're the horses in the race and I just want one of them to win and the other sent to the glue factory.

At least then we'll have a single negative, at the moment it's a double.

Coorey are part of the Dib camp as far as I know... regardless, they are from an earlier era, and not part of the current board...

As fans we don;t need to worry about this crap, so I ignore it...

My hunch .. the Andersons have the numbers rock solid and will win easily... the media whisper campaign is an attempt to white ant them and chip away at their advantage,I hope most voting members have common sense... and we get an good outcome... but I'll judge the outcome and then make up mu mind.. 

I dislike Heaps even more than I dislike Opes ... and it terms of competence and football knowledge Opes leaves Heaps in the dust...

It is a shame Dunn is involved, like Heaps, I liked him as a player,  Dunn might have been part of the Dib era...I'm not sure, but this isn't his first rodeo, and I don't remember stellar results in earlier eras....

But as footy fans .. why are we even discussing this crap...?

I certainly don't want to talk about it, but you will not drop it.

When your team is going well, the advice is either non existant or hardly noticeable.

But if you are struggling, you can expect all sorts of opinions from experts, to nuffies. You cant silence it. Brad Arthur and Seibold are perfect examples. 

Its up to the coach to either listen or dismiss the opinions. They live and die by their decisions and if they go against the grain and fail, well theres no surprises when they get sacked.

Pay was given 2 years of grace. This year the opinions would have come thick and fast. 

Next coach will also be given a couple of years and then if there is no decent improvement, the opinions will come out again.

Normally a good coach will show something positive over 3 seasons, luck can ruin any season, and it sometimes takes 1-2 seasons to sort out a squad, and teach the players new ways of dong things.

So Pay got a fair run, and the new coach should get the same chance..

Also my hunch is all NRL coaches are skilled at ignoring advice sticking to their formula and doing things their way, often it works, the players appreciate consistency, but when it doesn't work, it seems all coaches struggle to adapt..

Often after time away from the game the coach can see their mistakes and comes back a better coach...  sometimes they learn on the job... sometimes they take their formula elsewhere unaltered, and it works at another club.. but most of them have a limited bag of tricks of often that bag is a small bag.... Keep It Simple Stupid applies.

Cmon dude... take a joke...

Fight

It's Bulldogs business, critical Bulldogs business, current critical Bulldog business. And as i said the other day, denial don't work for me.

Issues with the board are media spin when the team is going crap, the coach cant fix the problems and the players have no clue how to sort themselves out on the field.

As soon as we either win or sign up a coach, this will all boil over and there will a new focus elsewhere to distract the media

Last time I looked we were a football club, not a soap opera....

It should go nowhere because it is small beer petty politics, largely the irrelevant railing against their irrelevance. 

And because the Dibbies and Heaps, are as a popular as a pork eating jew in a mosque....

And if I'm wrong, it's no longer my problem, because if the club is terminally stupid, it's not my problem....

The board split is far reaching...

I was going to ask Willlie for financial advice... :)

Join the Rorters is pretty easy advice to give...

You have to worry about these financial management companies......they exist to make money for themselves first....if the investor also makes money  it's a bonus! But if it all goes downhill, they still take their cut and leave you with the debt!

Set restart less than 20 seconds to half time.  Surely 2 points better option.  The application of the six again is becoming a joke.

Strikes me as an opportunity too good for the likes of you to not pursue... ;)

Agree re taking the two... both times...

Like the rest of the rules including salary cap the Roosters always get the advantage... The refs are big fans of Markis posts and there’s unconscious bias at play... 

Every half time whether on tv or radio Sterlo says “first try of the second half is crucial”....

I am reflecting on the cause of my poverty...

Sterlo will say that one day when the score is 50-0.

Penalty for Papali attacking an elbow with his nose ... 

I'm getting sick and tired of every call, every 50/50 going the rorters way. They are not perfect and it's sickening the way the refs keep sucking up to them. I just witnessed the chooks knock on and yet they get the feed???!!!??? and they when a chook just got tackled he elbowed the raiders tackler in the head and when the tackler retaliated he got penalised for foul play. WTF.

Footy gods... Cmon canberra...

Will be a penalty against Papali for scoring a try, while not in a Roosters Jersey.

Sack the refs Roosters should have got more penalties and 6-agains..

Only thing better than a Rorters loss is a bulldogs win....

Has Josh Morris ever thrown a ball backward?
That try to ikavalu was forward and wasnt called. Wasnt even scrutinised. The second one was 2m forward and luckily they called it.

The best flick passers I have seen were Timana Tahu, Jamie Lyon and Mark Gasnier.

JMoz would have to be the player that has disguised the most forward passes in the history of the game. And that stupid face he pulls when they replay his forward pass makes him look even more stupid. He should be embarrassed, not shake his head at the decision. 

Is Hawkyawn on tonight or did the Crooks play a decent side???...

Can we please throw 500k at this Raiders Starling guy.

Best young hooker outside of Harry Grant I've seen. Plays what's in front of him with respect to the gameplan. 

That's what I want from the guy who touches the ball more than any other player first. He must be a thinker.

If I were coach, I'd tell the 16 players the gameplan and I'd tell my hooker there IS no gameplan. Figure it out for yourself.
