NRL Rd 14 *Spoilers

[tony soprano]

Just enjoy the parra pain and wait for ours next week.

Technically we are 14th but without the 2 points from the bye we would be last.

The Bulldogs vs Eels game is a clear example of what can happen when a whole team actually turns up for 80 with a winning attitude, runs hard and tackles harder. A bunch of average joes outplayed a top 4 contender who simply thought they’d have an easy day out.
The take away from this is - your players have to want to win, they have to be hungry and want to compete. This goes to the character within the group.
I’m afraid that this is what our group lacks and has done for many seasons.
You can change coaches as much as you like but unless you have those characters in your squad you will never have consistent winners.
Kimmorley will have 12 weeks in the NRL as head coach and sadly it will probably be the ruin of any future NRL coaching for him.

The difference between them and us is they have some elite players who are on the up.

But isn't the difference with these Dogs the new coach?

Didn't we beat Parra? They like us will be just as likely to get flogged next round, oh s#it, they're playing us

Way dogs are playing, they'll put 30 on WT.

It's not like it's never been done before.

I was banking on those 2 points from next weeks game.

Judging by what I saw today, Potter may be an even better coach than I thought.

 

[hank37w]

Have a look at that face 🤣

It's scaring me, hate to imagine how Nofo might feel next week.

 

[Tiger Woods]

Bulldogs playing like the storm today & officially handing us the spoon 🤣
Lesson for Sunday
Don’t throw intercept passes 😆

Prime example of how decision makers within this club are a hopeless judge of character.

Exactly right, they do have players that have the “character” required to be competitive. Burton and JAC led the way.

Lesson from SOO made obvious in the dogs game today- put pressure on the kicker. In SOO Cleary was under pressure all game and his kicking was poor - if we let Burton off the hook we’ll cop the same as the Eels.

Matt Burton is one special player. Nice to have speed on the flanks as well.

And their young guys in year 1/2/3 seem to be getting used to FG.

Dogs footy this game is really enjoyable to watch

Won't be so enjoyable next week.
