This Bulldogs team instigates crap in every tackle & could be penalised 2 out of every 3 tackles for time lying on the attacker, flops, late tackles & jump the gun more than any other team.
Hasler looks outside the Dogs den because Ennis & Reynolds are always excused for being ultra competitive & credit to their desire, problem is they cross the line into grub territory with often disgraceful acts of foul play.
How Ennis has not been knocked out on 8 occasions this season is beyond me, in fact other than a finals game if Choc was to crack him 1 in exchange for 10 in the bin, I would be elated....
I understand a coach needs to defend his troops but Hasler is in denial, most issues with his side are related to him
*Size & sloth over speed
*Defensive tactics that are so obvious, the penalties will eventually kill them & often do
*Blokes designed to disrupt opposition players with niggle that is far from being a pest, often cheap shots that breach the ethics of the game
*A captain who shows massive disrespect to the refs, almost like a cheeky kid at school who wants the last word over the teacher.
Should have his head ripped off by Hasler as this has & will cost his side games & only earn harder scrutiny from the whistle blower.
*Needs to go back to ripping doors from hinges to show his side its not always the refs calls that cost his side victory....thats when he coached better...maybe from the heart.
Can't agree. hasler was 100% right. The Dogs are closer to Manly as a real rugby league team than to Souths, Melbourne & Roosters who play that cynical milk all the penalties & rort the rules game.
