2023 R18 Sun - Canterbury 0-66 Newcastle @ Accor

[t-ba]

Equal seventh biggest winning margin in history.

Only other season with two of the ten biggest winning margins in history was 1935.

'Don't Dream It's Over' playing is so shady ahah

 

[OzDragon]

This is a healthy competition.

It’s not salary cap causing this, dogs have had plenty of money to spend. Burton, Kikau, Mahoney Crichton, addo car, they’ve spent heaps. Tigers have been active in the player market also. I don’t think salary cap is the problem, it’s just difficult to build a winning culture, takes more than signing some good players. It’s a top to bottom thing, from the board down to the youngest juniors there needs to be an environment that is conducive to winning.

Good news for Bulldogs. The core of this side is locked up long term on big money. Ciraldo is there for 5years too.

God, how punchable is that face

Imagine combing his passion for dietary products with Kevin Spacey's passion for scripture in a 1990s classic movie.

Clubs run by d#ckheads, no idea. Just know we'll be cellar dwellers for years to come

Yep and you can't do anything to stop stupidity

Well losing both centres to over pay Crichton

All good should be another blowout coming next

You gotta get the right player.

Manly broke the bank on Ben Kennedy but he turned dudes like Choc Watmough and Glenn Stewart from promising youngsters into legends and his influence turned into a dynasty despite his retirement.

 

[Mr Angry]

RUOK @0neye ?

 

[Saxon]

So how is it that players can take unders to go to stronger clubs.

There's more than just money. There's the chance to play finals and win premierships. There's the associated increased chance to play Origin and for your country. More opportunity for better endorsement deals.

But mainly, can you imagine how soul-destroying it would be to be a perennial loser at a club with no culture?

 

[Generalzod]

Sure, but the cap itself isn't the problem. How this degenerate organisation managed it is the issue.

I think it is the problem boats houses cars thirdly party payments, list goes on and on

 

[yobbo84]

That's worse than last night, given their opposition. They completely dogged it today (pun intended).

Souths play them next week. We'll make hard work of it.

 

[wittyfan]

NRL now in crisis. Time for a serious discussion about reducing the number of cliubs.

All of those the Dogs would have, Gus has a lot of contacts. History of the club and so on.

 

[wittyfan]

Also time for Gus to step in and coach them during the week.

Exactly, Dogs for example keep turning over players and aren't building towards anything

Yeah there seems to be a lot of instability there with the roster. It doesn’t take much to get guys to stop buying in. At the same time someone like Webster at the warriors has got big improvements out of them without any massive signings unless you count niukore, so it can happen, it’s just hard to predict what signing(coach or player) will have the right effect.
