We are just going to have to do the best we can. We are down on troops and getting worse as the minutes tick by. Plus we can forget any chance of an honest go.... the 50/50's haven't been spread evenly.

Aside from luck, injuries and the ref, I think Flanagan and Perham are the wrong options for kry spine positions.
Burton and Marhoney need to play better, but they have the ability to do that.

If we can score a try early in the 2nd half, and if Averillo comes good, we can win it.

+x+x+xForward pass off a dodgy call we need more than grit. Our problems are deeper than that. We were no where near defending that move. Injuries to the backs will kill us. Alomoti missing the fox. He is woefully slow and needs a super fast winger. Our attack is off. Nothing went right in the first half, our mistakes were the start of the problem. Averillo must have a cork... At least the scoreboard hasn't got away from us, our spine need to execute beyter. Fox, Kiraz and Averillo is a lot of pace and tackle beating ability out of the side. What's going on. Surely Billy the goose would be better than Avo on one leg.

Can't fault the effort, but too many errors.
Injuries, luck and the ref also a factor.

Despite the lack of any luck with injuries and refs, have we seen enough of Flanno???…
His pass to TPJ after we scored was 1000 mile an hour at the blokes head.. and then.. and then…

dman I saw a lot in that game that was conveniently missed and no one can convince me that the Bulldogs are being "played" by the NRLol. Yes we are very thin on troops, yes we are bring screwed in the calls, yes we are making it hard for ourselves with poor play options, but the thing that sticks out more than anything is we have players that are not first grade quality and they unfortunatly are killing us.

IMO grub isn't offering much, Flanno should be 14. If he is in the side. Last try showed why Okunbor on the wing can be a mixed bag. Everytime we tried to milk a penalty, we didn't get it. Still the attack was more off than on especially in the first half.

I think this year now will get worse before it gets better . I’m expecting a flogging from the Sharks next week .. hopefully the team holds out before the troops are back from injury. But the referees have definitely been against us either a call from the top or they have a personal vendetta . Could it be the Gould factor .. He has not been kind to them over the years .

I can understand why the attack is disjointed, injuries and forced team changes make it hard to form combinations.
But Flanno is part of it.
Marhoney just had a bad first 50 mins.
The stupid attempt to milk a penalty from Perham cost us, that was a critical change of momentum.
Sharks will be tough, after that it should get easier.

One call that really killed us was when a Parra player knocked the ball down close to their line and the ref ruled a knock on against us.
It was at a time in the second half when we were building momentum and playing better, but where was that style of attack in the first half?
Big difference between our best 10 mins and the rest of the game.
Get some players back, perhaps a few better team selections, fewer dumb errors and moe cohesion in attack, we can win a few games.

I think Oloapu needs to come in after this Sharks game otherwise this season can slip by. We certainly need some stability with troops back but it's been just a bad season with injuries.

Flanno has got to go. He killed the momentum all game. Perham try’s hard but just doesn’t offer enough. With Kiraz out next week we need to shuffle the backline up a bit. Okonbor can’t play on the wing. Needs to be in the forwards or nothing.
But the coach really has no decent options. KO isn’t ready to play halfback on first grade. And I don’t want his confidence to be destroyed. We have very few decent backs in reserve grade that should be playing firsts. Except maybe Skelton and Casey. And they are a risk. It’s certainly going to get harder

Plus we can forget any chance of an honest go.... the 50/50's haven't been spread evenly. I agree with CC, tough times show which players are part of our future. In that game, Preston, Davey, King, TPJ and Burton all good. Some of our other players injured or mixed. Okunbor good in the bench role, but I doubt that wing is a good option. Sometimes a guy like Skeleton or Oloapu gets a shot and stands out first game. Time to give a few young guys a shot.

It’s certainly going to get harder If KO isn't ready, pick a different hooker and move Marhoney to half. Reserve grade keeps winning, surely the better reserve graders deserve a shot. We know some players in some positions don't work. Flanno at half and Okunbor on the wing for starters.

Main issue at 9 is the lack of a running game and average kicking, but he passes the ball well, and is an ok defender. Also a good support player, though not great at finding the best opportunity when in support, dies with the ball too often.

If we want a 14 that can cover an injury at hooker or in the halves, we don't have many options. I do take your point that a dud is a dud. My point is at least reduce the number of duds by 1.
