I dont ever remember a 2V trained team which wasn't ready for round 1. Pretty sure he got us to a grand final as well. Old School, sure but it was a good, hard and successful school as well.

You know this game is great when you turn up at the opposition ground and the staunch hardened manly supporters show you grace and respect. Thank you for the well wishes and in effect official goodbye from the manly supporters, thank you to the words of encouragement and support from the Canterbury Bulldogs fans. Doggies night last night but your blind if you don't see another special delivery about to arrive in the shape of a football orientated Manly Sea Eagles side in this near future. Hate the war......not the soldier!
As for the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, the platform and foundation is being set in what promises to be a very physical and entertaining NRL competition. Good luck picking the September placings with the quality of teams in 2016!

I honestly must have missed the fit and fast aspect. To me they got gifted possession in prime spots time after time.
I also thought at the back ends of halves we looked fitter and faster and were getting metres, we just didn't do anything with it because the combos were all over the shop.

The last 5 to 10 minutes it was the Canterbury players that were stretching their legs and looking really out of it. Our players definitely looked fitter.

Fitness my ass we conceded tries from not grounding or knocking a ball dead properly FFS.

The same thing happened in the U20s and Canterbury scored a try.

Think it was more their size and enthusiasm which helped them roll foward. Add a 56% possession and completing 35 of 40 sets and we practically gave them all their points think some people on here are getting too carried away after one game. I remember last year Brisbane got spanked by 30 at home in their first game. Long season ahead yet, at least this year we have options with our forwards and can try different players with a bigger pool of support players. Weren't we like 1 from 7 last year anyway. Lets see how we go over the next few rounds before we write off a season before it has even started

Last year rd 1. We were awful
Most of us, yeah. And it sure softens the blow after a loss. Now, pass the caviar please.

We were forcing dropouts, playing more up the middle and getting going. It was a promising stretch.

Our strength and conditioner is a gun. We look way fitter than last year. Everyone in the team is raving about the new strength and conditioning resume and the new plans in place. The players who had niggling injuries look a lot better. Last year they were not managed well and we were busted just like the year before. Look at choc now and foran can't overcome his hamstring worries. Dogs last night had 3 lower body injuries manly finished without any thank god. Matai didn't even clutch at his neck for the first time in ages. A strength coach is not just about fitness but also recovery and injury management and implementing the right training program for each player so they are fit and healthy each week. I think ferris will be ahead of the game in that department. The biggest test will be when we play 3 games in 10 days. What a joke

If I remember we were all commenting how unfit we were last year. Esp killer and hiku. We seem to have short memory's.

Matai started limping early in the second half despite having his ankle heavily bandaged at half time. He called the trainer over but decided to stay on. It was to the Team's detriment as his ankle was shot.
He should qualify for a medical payout even before Choc

An then the coach, fitness trainer and most of the staff and players all lost their jobs.
groundhog day coming up?
About 390 to their 350
Even I knew that was coming. What was the plan to stop it? Or work around it? Or counter it?
That really is the job of the coaching staff.
