Never been so embarrassed

So give the Big O Boyle's salary as well. Fuking waste of space.

Round 1 Bulldogs team to Round 5 Newcastle. Nothing to do with par. Dogs were pretty terrible against us. We missed 42 tackles last night...

True but the team had intent in D, something that's gone missing since.

The delusion of Scott Penn and Mestrov for all to see

yep, and Des is now saying, see, it wasnt me thats the issue.

Well all know deep down its not Des and I be honest it was never Barrett. The owner a complete Muppet

Who the hell are they?

Aloiai (aioli..)

Don’t forget , the Big O wanted a BIG upgrade, sadly we aren’t the Rorters with unlimited funds.

We let some big bucks go with Marty and walker.

Agreed and foran too. Surely olakau'atu does not take all that?
We chased flegler very had so I assume we still have that money put aside.

These threads get more and more dramatic every week..

For the first time in my life, I’m seriously looking at the state of rugby league and considering walking away. My old man did it with the super league split. I’ve hung in there, but the current state of the game and obvious biases to certain teams/organisations makes this something more akin to the EPL. I can live without the stress TBH. I don’t see a decent level playing field to get me excited abt RL. Looking back in history, it probably wasn’t so different pre-SL. It’s just disappointing and discouraging.

They do indeed, some of the **** written is hilarious at times, and just plain sad at others.

It’s a game , yes we are invested in it, but at the end of the day it’s a game.

I really wish it were just a game… but, it’s not. It’s political and reflects power plays of life. There are some who are receiving (or perceived to be receiving) favourable treatment. Fans see it and joke about it. I wish it were played in the spirit of the local club game, but there is too much money and power tied up in it. It’s at the point where these narratives no longer talk to me as a person. I’m losing the stories that drew me to support this team as corporates have infested it.

Jamie Stuckey has looked great as well.

Not in the top 30. we chose Tuilagi, the worst forward in the worst pack last year.

 

[BirdMan4ever]

Yeah wow - interesting thread.

We were off our game (and or not good enough) and lost to the best team in the comp away from home.

It happens.

They have been on a downward spiral for 3 games , attitude to win is gone

 

[BirdMan4ever]

Our top 3 players sadly lack consistency and game management

I agree. It is all about the money now.

This - as a team we are slow across the ground and slow between the ears, and led around the paddock for the most part by a headless chook. Our leader, the team in general lacks game smarts and a few non stop fanatical forwards (except for Jake and maybe Bully), I said last year Tuilagi hadn't shown any solid, all game performances to excite me about signing him, and even Mole, as good as he is, gets shown up in defence, but he is a relative new comer to the game,- Oshay, Keppie, Lawton are second string and Froggy is a trier but not the quick schemer that is needed at dummy half in that regard I would rather see him as a 13 and have Gordo as 9 ..... letting two of our best up and coming forwards go will turn around to bite us
..... its going to be a long time before we once again have players ala Choc, Jamie Lyon & co that are willing to take less money to be/stay a part of our team.

A good culture creates that mindset something we lack

 

[Brocky]

We were lucky Panthers stopped at half time, could of got real ugly. We are just not up to first grade standard, First half was like a sea Eagles nightmare. Turbo or no turbo made no difference their fullback is better

not only not in the top 30 but unsigned !

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

Who the hell are they?

One player. Josh 'aioli' (mayo and garlic)

 

[Budgie]

I don’t think it was so much Boyles dollars , but what the two were offered by St Merge and realising that they couldn’t keep them all.

I've been wondering if the drop in intensity from some has anything to do with releasing these two.

We do have the odd precious petal in our team.
