Goal kicking could prevent us missing the 8. For and Against will decide the bottom 4 spots of the 8 this year and poor goal kicking could well be the difference. if we were up 18 nil last week and against Souths earlier in the year I don't believe we lose those games.
We have a solid team on paper that has the potential. This year we are disadvantaged with 2 players in Stewart and Matai not playing which impacts our overall depth. With no injuries its possible, but what chance of that do we have?
Bulldogs have certainly adopted Manly's culture, that of undermining a performing coach and sending them packing. This is similar to how Toovs was punted. I hope we get Dessie back
Could it be that Bozo and Co don't trust Barrett's ability as he is new to the gig, hence why they put their nose in everything. With an experienced coach in Hasler they may keep out.
No surprise if he is gone. I am sure Barrett wanted to keep Buhrer, but Bozo wanted otherwise. Probably created a wedge between Bozo and Barrett, and Barrett has chucked in the towel. Interesting times ahead.
Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't Penn pay the bills? Without him we don't have a footy Team to support.
I think people need to show a little more respect for a guy that keeps the Team going with his own cash.
How old was BK when he joined us? Similar age I think.
It's shattering to think that Buhrer is being moved on but we need to have faith in our recruitment strategy
Did anyone hear after the titans last try the ref say to the other ref, they are now up by 12, they being the Broncos. The next set the Broncos get a penalty. I have never once heard refs talking about what the score line is, and why should they?
We had a horror year with injuries and highlighted our lack of depth. The club has acted on this and made some wholesale changes. I applaud the move as it shows we are not accepting mediocrity. Not sure why everyone is upset when we all agree change is needed
Last year we had Foran at five eight, who has been our five eight this year? We have had a different one every week. If you don't think injuries impact cohesion of a footy Team, you are watching a different game to me
Dogs would have to unload a few players to get Foran. We are one of a few Teams that will have some cash to spend at the end of the year and we haven't landed anyone of significance yet, so wouldn't be surprised if he ends up back with Manly.
Its all about confidence and belief. When you have quality players like DCE and Lyon back in the Team and playing with some confidence it rubs off on the rest of the group. I am a huge fan of Snake but I think having him off the field was a plus, his confidence is shot and it's been hurting the...
Amazing what happens when we get some of our troops back on the field. The Team the last 2 weeks has looked something like a 1st grade side, rather than a reserve grade side. If we can keep the same side on the park the next few weeks we will see this form continue.
but they have only been hit with injuries the last few weeks. My point here is that super coaches struggle with injured cattle. Calling for our coaches head is premature.
