Game Day vs. Dogs

[Quigs]

Well that was a fun read.

I might just dust myself off, clean the fangs and go to bed.

Got to get up early for the Dawn Service and to be prepared to cop buckets full of shit because of this evenings result.

Night all.

He was way off. Dollar signs clouding his mind perhaps.

Ya know they have looked the same around this time of year for the past 4 years. Side to side plays and pitiful attack. Any wonder why they booted Morris .They should have put 30 on them.

[bad boy bubby]

I made a late call and caught a train up the coast to watch some mates play a gig and miss the game.
I watched the very start and saw the Dogs March up over half way. I saw the sign and didn't watch anymore.
Lucky me.

You lucky bastard.

Smart move Bubby. The writing was on the wall three tackles in.
I can't remember the last time I saw them come out looking so flat.
It took 25 minutes for any one of them to show any intensity. Unfortunately Talakai got sin binned for it.
For mine, he, Williams and Tracey were the only ones who showed up last night.

The rest of them? Pitiful.

You've got to ask yourself what has changed in the past couple of weeks to have them coming out looking so disinterested when only a fortnight ago they came out and absolutely gave it to the Rooters.

Hannay clearly isn't getting them up for the games the way Bomber was.
And I lay the blame for that squarely at the feet of the board.

Regardless of the direction they want to go next year and beyond there is still 18 weeks of this season left. It beggars belief that things have played out the way they have.

Too right - a lot of short memories on the GD thread - we lost to the rabble last year wasn’t it and Chad had the audacity to hit back at his critics saying “I’ll wear that loss”
A lot going on with the club and change afoot - really showing the deficiencies ATM.

 

[chewsta]

Several blokes looking like they were having a sook didn't help

Spot on observation. All looked like they were having a sook, but were still happy to collect their match payments. Imposters.

I agree about Woods and Toby. If Woods wants to be captain he needs to lead a lot better. That was a really soft performance last night

That’s because he is soft.spartan women would have done better.

Agree totally.

The ONLY time I watch TV each week is to watch the Sharks.

I fortunately didn’t this week as I knew after what had happened the past 2 weeks culminating in the heartbreaking loss to Newcastle, we were going to be as flat as a tack.

I cannot blame the players.

In the NRL if you are 10% down on motivation & the other team is 10% up, you will get beaten.

We have every reason to be 30% down....

 

[sharknows]

It seems the turmoil of the last few weeks may have taken it’s toll on the players..... or is Hannay just a shit coach? I would have thought they’d all be out to impress for new contracts. Fitz won’t be able to buy a whole new team for next season so I’m thinking we’re in for some very lean years.

Link & Pin? That's a great little gig!

And zero respect for the fans , sponsors, or the badge

I take a different view in that motivation is on the individual. Half this squad is playing for their career. Any player who wants to stay needs to be impressing the new coach who is no doubt looking closely. Feeling sad because the coach got the arse is soft. This shit happens in business all the time and professionals get on with the job.

As a fan it sux to be losing but reality is we were going precisely nowhere. This season is about figuring our who is ready to be part of the revolution.

The lack of killer instinct in this group is palpable. Every tight game this season has been lost. 2 wins have been against poor opposition. Very sick of the 'brave loss' mentality.

The pain for this season is the price we pay for cutting out the mediocrity. Personally, I would rather pay it now and build a squad capable of doing something.

 

[txta2]

You're right weapon. Some of these players where getting comfortable with average performances. Now the place has had a shake up the individual performances will be exposed.

 

[Quicksilver]

Parramatta was a brave loss.

Last night was not.

What has changed?

Hmmmmm.....
