Agree they won't win many but after 6 losses to start the year i totally get the relief and I would think it weird if there wasn't some excitement...

Best ever win is definitely OTT...

90% of tries can be blamed on errors by the opposition defence but I though the dogs got reward for effort and then scrambled hard and showed real desire to compete on everything...

Either way if we lose to dogs all this p*ssing on their parade will mean SFA...
I will always piss on any parade Barrett is a part of because of the way he took his bat and ball and went home.
 
Saw the game this morning and whilst Trent is obviously getting carried away with the emotion it was a better performance than what they have served up so far.
Napa and Waddell(playing at lock which limits his lack of athleticism) played better games than I have seen and Thompson was also strong up the middle.
Averillo is taking more responsibility off Klanagan(a bit like Foran with DCE) and gives them another option.Meaney does a better job than any of their options at fullback and Cotric played a good game.
In saying that they are still Bog average....they lack talent and depth .
 
“That’s the best win I have been involved in in my coaching career, and even as a player,” Barrett said. “It meant a hell of a lot to all of us.

Perspective time ....

It was a game played by two maladroit coached teams
The sharks struggled to hold the ball and execute play all day
and the Dogs struggled to put them to the sword and just managed to escape victory and
In the end the game was not won by resilience or great tactical play
The game was lost by the sharks who bombed try after try

And the quote from Trent's Best win ever in his coaching career exemplifies Trents mediocre standards, values and accomplishments
This guy is seriously a legend in his own mind... So glad we saw the back of him and his mediocre attitude..I honestly thought he was something special as I admired him as a player and with all the media beat up about the next super coach I was over the moon when we signed him.. BUT what a dissapointment that was and Ive shown some interest in what he's doing now with the Dogs as I really did want to see if "we " got it wrong but boy did "we" as a club get it right.

This guy will never be a winner, he's so full of excuses its laughable, over 8 minutes of dribble in a presser, most coaches are in and out in lest than 4.... anyone that can read basic body language and look past the spoken word for its true meaning will hear that he actually doubts himself and the team, hes prepared to run last and receive the spoon.. He trys so hard to pump up the "terrific football side" that the Sharks are and "what a great win... LMFAO... The Sharks were woeful, He sounds like a coach with no idea where his next win is coming from as he really has no plan but he tries so hard to make out that he is in control and has direction..ZERO direction in my opinion.
He basically concedes that they may not win to many more games as he's in it for the "long run" playing the long game.. ALREADY he's positioning to protect his job.
he will eventually start throwing players under the bus as the pressure builds, You will hear all about "NEXT YEAR" when Matty gets here and we get a few others over and how good next year will be.
Ive never liked the Bulldogs but I actually feel sorry for them with him at the helm.
Hope they have proper office furniture and fresh Gatorade around as that may be another excuse to fuel the reason for failure. At least his players don't need to change in the carpark.

Yeah, but the players love him.

I agree . His arrogance is astonishing .
 
I expect him to keep a lid on the excitement because they’re running dead last and just snuck home against poor opposition...’best win he has been involved in’ and ‘it’s easy to kick a team when they’re down’ and ‘we have backbone’ and the like...cmon, they dropped enough ball to lose 10 football games. They scored some soft tries and almost got run down by a team that looked disinterested. Anyone would have thought they’d towelled up the competition leaders with a stirring performance...it was just one of those cases of sooner or later they’d have to win a game and they did...hardly season building.
He is kidding if that is his best win ever. An idiot of the highest order!
 
He did get ahead himself didn’t he. It was hardly an outstanding performance against quality opposition...Sharks were terribly flat in the first half and Dogs got the jump to 18 nil and then the Sharks were the better side in the second half but kept bombing tries. A rather lucky 6 point win against cannon fodder and Barrett is claiming that they can ‘build their season’ off it...
A penny for your thoughts, Bob Fulton.
 
Yeah made a big deal out of the win to the disguise the reality that there will not be many more.
 
Got to say don't really rate this Naden signing....for the Dogs that is

Naden, Cotric, Flanagan, Allen, Hethrington.....all talented players in the right system but dont see how they fit together.

I dont see a strategy in their recruitment, more just get who you can get.

Even Addo-Carr who is a great player, I dont see as a game changer in a struggling team with a big price.

Burton to be fair could be fantastic.

They need to hold everything now and focus on a hooker
 
Didn't realise that the dogs have two ex Manly coaches now. Peter Sharp is their recruitment manager.
Looks like dogs are using the lesser ex Manly coach to run first grade. @:D@:D@:D

TBAZ cant seem to help himself can he? Looks to have a real need to recruit A grade Knobheads to which ever club he's at...


BULLDOGS’ BID FOR MEEHAN

Canterbury has failed in an attempt to sign boxer and ex-Roosters star Willis Meehan.

The 25-year-old was once rated the most promising young forward in the game but left the Roosters in 2015 while he was dealing with a number of off field issues.

The then 19-year-old was stood down by the club after he was charged with headbutting a man and stealing his watch near The Star casino. He was sentenced to 150 hours of community service.

The Bulldogs expressed interest in signing Willis Meehan. Picture: Toby Zerna

Meehan made a boxing comeback in March after a two-year absence and knocked out his opponent in one round. He also troubled Paul Gallen in a spa before his fight with Lucas Browne.

The heavyweight was keen to have another crack at the NRL. He is a much-improved person these days, according to good sources.

Bulldogs recruitment boss Peter Sharp contacted the NRL but was told Meehan would need a clearance from the integrity unit.
