Actually now that I think about it, there hasn’t been much talk about the Dogs being in crisis. They are coming last on the table and have been down there for a few years now. They are going worse than Brisbane. Worse than Wests. Why are they getting off easy? 360 even had Barrett on there to talk up the club.

Is it just because they are expected to be this bad this year?

Yeah I think there in a place similar to the Nathan Brown Knights teams in that they have so little expectation around them that they are almost pitied

NRL 360 seem to go soft on coaches they are mates with. Barrett, Walters and Ricky are loved by them.

They hate Seibold and still give it to him making excuses for Walters.

Barrett is a funny one. I was crediting him with Penriths great attack yet if anything it seems even better this year. I had also convinced myself that his Manly tenure was an aberration but now he comes across as the same f'wit he was at Manly. His comment 're last week's win being his best ever as a player and coach and subsequent "emotion" did little for his credibility which it was no doubt intended to do.
No excuses next year for him. Burton, potentially the best half/player in the game and Ado Carr together with a few more recruits and the best of what they have should be enough to make The Dogs competitive if Barrett is good enough. Interesting viewing. Maybe Ciraldo is the real brains behind The Pennys form @hindy111 ?

Was going to Sharks next year as assistant to Fitzy, but he's under contract with Pennys until end 22.

Yeah that comment as his best ever win was laughable, emotion fueled no doubt, but still laughable


Barrett signed a few players for this year to improve their attack, Allen, Flanagan, Cotric

Considering what Dean Pay had to deal with (playing roster), dogs have gone worse in defense and about the same shit in attack

Keep in mind, some expert couch coaches on here in our trial games said we are a shit attacking side as well ;)

They have apparently two excellent centres coming through. We should look at poaching.
Pensini might be thr goods. But from what I have seen he is woefull in defense and would be atleast a few yrs away.

Given the circumstances it would have felt like one of his most enjoyable wins. That’s what I took out of his comments.

I’m sure he doesn’t seriously think it was a better achievement than some of his big wins as a player!

Dogs jnrs should also be looked at. They have put a walk of money importing guys so will lose out on a few good young kids that have been overlooked.
Dogs should finish top 8 next season. Its been a huge spend spree.

Naden,Hethrington,Allen,JAC,Flanagan,Burton,Cotric....And I reckon a few more to come.

Most relieved win id say

Wonder if beating us on Saturday will be his best win ever as coach or player?
