Round 6 versus Bulldogs

[Chins]

Cmon guys, we're never going to be hooking Yeo. We ride or die with the great man.

Burning out a veteran in round 6 is certainly a decision.

Cmon guys, we're never going to be hooking Yeo. We ride or die with the great man.

He had less minutes a few weeks ago even that just to reset could work. He's the best forward in the comp but he's had two off weeks in a row.

 

[Hamstring awareness]

Had a horrible feeling about this game which unfortunately came true. Talagi’s defence is a massive concern that I’d expect will be heavily targeted in upcoming matches. I’m also puzzled why Martin being given a second stint when he was clearly injured, just completely stuffed the rotations. Is To’o 100%?

We can manage his minutes for load purposes but we're not hooking him because hes having an off day.

 

[Luke Bowden]

None of those structural things change that he's currently a terrible 1 on 1 defender. It's not like it can't be fixed but it is a problem. Either way If a team goes to our right then shifts back to Talagi It's almost free points right now.

This is a Chins level over reaction.

I’m really not sure what you expect from him, but you need to lower your expectations.

Luai was very overrated here overall but his defence is outstanding. That simply isn't the standard level of defence for a 6. Blazie has clearly improved but still has a way to go.

 

[Luke Bowden]

Some times I wonder if some people even watch the games..

Attacking Blaize is not some new cheat code that the Bulkdogs have unlocked!! He’s been attacked in every game this year and will be attacked in every game he plays, probably ever!

The team played poorly and it exposed our edge. It’s as simple as that.

His defence was awful for the first couple of years.

there's a video doing the rounds of Ivan getting baited by dogs fans in the coaches box and he responds with a wanker hand gesture.

he'll be getting fined and he'll be made out to be the worst person in Rugby league media next week 100%

Tbh Galvin deserves a lot of credit. Was arrow straight at the line which no other half has done v Talagi.

Also reckon people are completely underrating how good the Dogs line speed and tackle tech was. They were relentless and pushed the boundaries all night and we looked scattered. To say they played poorly is absolute shite.

 

[YoungPanther]

Not as disappointed as the majority on here. Highlighted our deficiencies.

Must stick to Pantherball - long kicks to corners, energy in defence, discipline - which we didn't do.

Blaze to hit the tackling bags and greater help for him from the inside.

It is all fixable. Better we saw this now then get ambushed in a semi.

I have no shame in riding the highs and lows of game day so I'll sound dramatic during play butt I'm not wrong theres an issue in that part of the defensive line even if I'm wrong on the disease the symptoms are there so to speak.

I hate losing the Thursday game. Ruins the weekend.

 

[PANTHERMIKE]

We went to the game, Dogs were offside all night, but their line speed was good from the get go.

Our boys reminded me of panthers of about 10 years ago, everyone looked well off, dare i say we played our statement game last week and just went through the motions this week.

But overall it was a rubbish game, 6 against diabolical, Cleary looked like a rookie, Yeo looked like a super league player getting a pay day, and Blaze looked like he had both arms amputated.

Good lesson, we'll likely put 100 on the Dolphins next week.

Shit happens..

As a side note, Dogs fans are just the dirt on the bottom of everyons shoes... Not all obviously, but the vast majority are a disgrace.

 

[Chins]

Casey to miss a week. I guess Tago gets a chance to show if he still wants the spot

I dislike a lot of clubs for a lot of different reasons. The Dogs are the only one where its primarily in person match day experience with their fans.

And let me guess, Kurt Mann got absolutely nothing?

A fine

 

[PennyPanthers81]

That’s an absolute joke. It was the same f**king tackle.
Well I guess that’s why we’ve got Tago still. Hopefully he kills it trying to get his starting spot back.

 

[Wetcats]

Reality check for them. Clearly all the hype and talk about contracts and origin jersey distracted them. I hope nathan and the rest of the senior players refuse to engage on the contract talk. Why does nathan need talk about what he is open to with the media? If hes taking offers he doesnt need to generate interest. Just straight bat the contract question "im just focused on this week, the other stuff ill deal with after the season",
