Match Discussion: Round 24 vs Broncos @ Suncorp Stadium

Most of our kicks are pointless , Mbye just bombs it and not even deep bombs

Did you actually watch the game last night?

We are barely a finals team TBH. How we are in the race for top 4 I will never know. Tolman and Graham should not be on the field at the same time , they play big minutes and make tackles but they have both become the Paul Gallen of the bulldogs and hinder more than help us when in the attacking zone.

Hopoate has been great but his lack of speed just kills opportunities up the middle that we create. Our halves cannot dominate games and our kicking game alone takes us out of contention of winning the premiership.

On top of that geez we are painful to watch

Only the others are getting back up and will steal beat you too the line.

I wonder if the quirky coach managed to watched Penrith last night. He may have learnt something, eg; how to get your full back to handle the ball twice in a set instead of your plod die with the ball frontrowers.

Yep. Mbye had 3 decent grubbers close to the line. His long kicking game is absolutely horrendous and involves bombing to the winger on the 20 metre line under no pressure. He does not even try and kick for space

I don't think we watched the same game. Most of the long kicks were well placed.

Very disappointed in the Dogs lack of respect for the ball (especially in the 2nd half), but as stated earlier we were still a chance with 5 to go. I think it's important that we stay in the Top 4, but the room for improvement is huge. If we can beat the Cowboys, I think we can beat anyone if we can just put it all together on the day/night.

I joked that we had Darren Britt in for a skills session. So many no look throw the ball out the back passes. It was horrible to watch. That said, watching the game at the ground, I thought both teams were fairly ordaniry. Maybe it's training workload? If so Des needs to ease it off, and hopefully give the guys a few days off to recharge there batteries. Expecting a much better forward performance against the Cowboys at home.

same old story against the cowboys

Des is no slouch - he'll have them up for the next game. Just need to hold the ball and complete and we're a good chance.

will he get us up for the souths game then?
