Round 23 v The Bloody Bulldogs

[Spazer]

Dogs were good tonight. We started that second half fast and the dogs were able to keep us scoreless.

Not our best game but that shows we aren't on the same level as them.

 

[OneEyedDragon]

Flanno Jnr has not played well tonight, but the comments about him are over the top. The disappointment started with the first Hunt intercept try to Burton and it went pretty much all downhill from there. All the names mentioned have been poor tonight, but to lump it all on Kyle is wrong. You would sack the whole team on tonight's performance, but we can't do that. I guess Hunt will once again admit that his kicking game was poor tonight, but I just want him to fix it up, not apologise for it. Very disappointing night.

 

[JubileeJeffro]

That was a crap performance, looked flat all night and Dogs just had more energy across the park.

 

[Gareth67]

Huge disappointment after last week’s win , expected more from them but they just never delivered .

The Dogs were just too good for the Dragons who played as a team of spare parts . They will go onto the semis ,
whereas our boys will be having a short season .

 

[HenryTatana]

And the difference between both sides, the one and only Ben Fu**ing Hunt.

 

[Coffs dragon]

Dogs too good for our reject plodders & slugs lead by Captain Crab Hunt.

 

[HenryTatana]

Well good news is both Couchman in next week.

 

[carltonsouth79]

Did not watch game what is wrong with Suli?

Knee injury. Going for scans but seems he will miss at least next week

Agreed. And good to see Sloan not at the end of any abuse. Now that fat shit Lawrie. He can go and get farked

 

[justadragon]

Find it very hard to put 2 games together, if Dylan Brown from the Eels is looking around he would be my top target, a few injuries tonight, maybe both couchies in next week. Once again we can only squeeze so much juice out of these players. I wouldnt like going into finals and being cannon fodder anyway.

 

[SaintElroy]

Agreed. Tonight he was MIA. Not sure how much of that is Hunt dominating the calls etc. Hard too when forwards aren’t making yardage. We just rushed things and lack speed

Speed for us is a massive issue. Look at manly today, they were nothing special but just burnt Canberra on the edges with raw speed . But back to flanno he has been fantastic.
I love he has a crack? If we had a better half or 5/8 he will be an awesome 14 or left field idea lock like a radley or cam murray

That should be the headline in the papers tomorrow

 

[56to66]

The Dogs are nothing, they got lucky off an intercept try, a lucky call of the ref in the 2nd half and a poor refeering for any grandstand finish

 

[Tomaraque]

For me this one hurts a bit more than our loss to Manly.

Lots of problematic performances from a lot of our boys but not the end of the world or our season. We can learn and continue a season that 12 months ago we could have only dreamed of.

However, it is about culture. Coach had a heart to heart with Zac early in the pre season.

Time now for him to lock the door for a 1 on 1 with Ben, put the ego and reputation in the next room and talk about leadership of a team and what is expected of a leader.

The culture is changing and there is a team there ( a bit rag tag at times but a decent team).

The change in culture we have witnessed this year is inhibited with our captain making very poor choices and not learning yet when Kyle did a silly thing, rather than support Kyle his arms were out like he was on a cross highlighting that error.

With respect Ben, off to the hall of mirrors.

Shane, great coach...time for that chat.

Go dragons!!!

 

[Old Timer]

Best defensive team in the competition was always going to be a tough assignment but we seemed rattled / panicked for most of the game...too many desperate / pushed passes & rushed plays from us...kicking was sub-standard too...again.

We are a slow ponderous side that stands flat in attack as a result the teams that get off their defensive line quickly contain us with ease.

 

[Ghostrider22]

I actually think the second 40 showing has been decent. The fact that we cant score is just down to having no strike which we've known for years.

Beaten soundly, frustrating and pedestrian but far from embarrassing.

Very bleak outlook given our inability to improve the team however.

Next week I want to see Pasifiki-Tonga, Toby Couchman and someone like Finau come in if Suli is out.

Yeah and missing detmination to score defend and f**king win so frustrating

 

[blacksafake]

Every time Hunt plays first receiver we’re shit & Su’a hardly sees the ball.
When he’s second receiver with Su’a running off him is one of our few strengths.

 

[<StGeorgeDragons>]

It was only 8-0 in the second half.

the bulldogs scum are not as good as they think

I'm not expert on the Dogs but to me they didn't get to top gear whereas we threw everything at them. I think it is a fair showing of the difference between the two teams.

We had a few moments in the first half, forcing errors and ramping up our play the ball speed and then kept the ball right on their goal line for a good 10 minutes in the second half and just could not score. A good kick from Hunt and a clever ball from Luc were the only reasons we got any points. It's all a bit sad in what was built up as a massive match and our home game.

 

[St Tangles]

We knew this was coming

We are so predictable

A home game season on the line and dish up rubbish

He is absolutely terrible. Wont ever earn a rep jersey, dont even compare the 2. Flanno decided to throw a metre forward pass because he bottled it. He is horrible, Hunt has almost all our try assist what about flanno the absolute plank. Does fk all
