Post-Game Discussion Bulldogs v Manly [Round 26, 2023]

[robbiea]

Could I just mention the absolutely disgraceful performances of 3 of the Dogs big names.

Reed Mahoney - Crocker is 3 x the player this bloke is.

Matt Burton

TPJ - how did he ever get picked in Origin this year. That decision alone should ensure Fittler is terminated.

You missed Kikcow !

 

[The Royal Soup]

Yay, we won a game against a spoon contender that didn’t matter


Gordon must play more minutes and be in the side full time every game

• sharp
• fast
• direct
• speedy
• had the players hitting the ball over the advantage line

was nice to have a hooker for the first time since the stabber that’s in jail

Hey @Jethro , with the close of the season just around the corner, just want to say thank you for the hard work you do on the forums mate !! Adds a lot of value, and I really appreciate it.

Here here @Jethro . Champion...

A win's a win and it's good to be smiling. Just a shame it's too little too late. Happy for Gordie and a nice touch letting him kick the goal. Thankfully no injuries or reports so we should stay intact for next week, for Jake and at home.

You missed Kikcow !

He did look impressive when he was on the Stationery Bike.

 

[robbiea]

Makes Tom look like money well spent.

Spot will be his after next year .
Next year will start the year with 20 mins in the middle ,aiming for 30 in the middle by finals.
Slow and steady ,no rush.

I said in another thread that we played and Dce played that game like we / he was playing touch on the beach at times. So many kicks for Saab and so many early kicks as well. Also throwing it wide before we earnt the right. None of it came off.

If we had been ruthless in that second half and played through the middle and Dce had have put grubbers in to get repeat sets we would have put 60 on them.

 

[Jethro]

Yep, only read a couple of pages of it, but it reminded me of a group of kids in the primary school sandpit from what I did see

Yep, especially with the "Sunshine. Lollipops. Rainbows." and "WARNING: to lettuce leaves and snowflakes whom may be of delicate constitution. Slightly not so positive post to follow." repetitive SPAM posts which, if it was chosen to be enforced, could have been considered a breach of the Silvertails TOS.

Lmao.

Alright then.
I'm out....save you the hassle.

Burbo continues to get better. He has the starting second row slot stitched up from this point forward . Kelma is a very average player

Gordon showed enough to get the 14 spot next year . Koula can be Jennings 2.0

I expect 2024 will come down to turbo staying on the field or not

 

[Fibro Eagle]

Glad to get the win , Would have been very disappointing to not get that win , Hopefully can get another win at home next week

 

[Eagle 1]

I'd rather we threw all the technology in the bin tbh.

The bunker has done nothing but add to the mess, and guaranteed any other technological "improvements" will follow the same path.

Forward pass calls by the refs need to be more scrutinized. Since the bunker can't rule on this, technology would give us the 100% correct calls fans want.

 

[eaglebuzz]

Well, no Turbo, no Garrick, no Tuipulotu, no Schuster, no Weekes, no Aloiai, no Paseka, no Lawton, no Lodge - NO WORRIES

No serious opposition

Burbo indeed continues to improve, could he become that non-stop worker type of second rower we possibly need?
Obviously much will depend how Schu turns up next season, but Burbo is looking like a top 17 regular. So is Bullemor.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

No serious opposition

The Dogs began well, had their big-money players on deck, last home game - but then turned to mush. Total mush! Something surely not well with that club, and whatever it is, long may it last.

Croker is better than him too Bob

Happy day today
What a Sunday
Don't care if it was ordinary opposition
Don't care if at times we were too

We got the win
Koula did very well at FB, just needs to dominate the kicks but he ran well
Gordy Gordy Hallelujah, came on when we needed spark and gave it in bucketloads, energy levels lifted.
Good solid debut from the young man well done. Waited all year for it
Slippers was strong too.

Had both Grandies watched the game with son daughter and one terror

If Fathers Day was Today it's all I wanted

That’s nice to hear. I have to ask though, who’s the terror?

 

[wombatgc]

Well in that case, I'll take boring every week.

Hey! You keep going over to the kennel for your bloodbath fix.lol
Thats not in the new positivity/kumbaya game day rules.
