Well we can see the players' inadequacies. They are obvious. Making an assessment of coaching is far more opaque. Can you believe there's merkins in another thread who think the Titans' current form means Mick Potter is a quality coach?!? What a couple of f**ken idiots lol
You can’t deny the Dogs are a different side under Potter, but we know coaches don’t make a difference at all do we Pou???? 🥸

And it can't be the players attitude either. Because they all have good attitudes. It's a matter of class mate. But have the dogs become more classy with the same players for no reason? Pou is a shit stirring merkin. Don't give him the attention he craves.

Tongue in cheek I said let's get Potter for 2023. He certainly has the Bulldogs playing much more potent footy than Barrett did. And don't hold his time at the Tigers against him, he lost the personality battle with Robbie there and nobody has succeeded at that joint for 17 years, even a premiership winner like Maguire. You need quality players and luck no matter how good a coach you might be. I think that's the line you're always trotting out...

If I didn't think they made a difference I wouldn't care who the coach was, would I? But under Barrett they played seven games (from ten) against current top eight sides and beat the Cowboys and Roosters. Under Potter they have played only half their games (four from eight) against the top eight and beat the bottom two teams plus Parra. Barrett also got Manly into the finals. Potter has never coached in the finals. Barrett might be shit but don't pretend Potter is a better coach.

If the club has hired former coach Nathan Brown into some kind of development role it shows the club has realised they weren’t spending enough in that area.

Which is proof that we could have but opted to not spend in that area until even they and blind Freddy could see we needed to.

So your bull crap that we can't compete with the top merkins on resources is just that, bull crap. We just don't know that we should until it is screaming in our face that we should. The mob running the joint are nearly as stupid as you and can only deliver nearly as many excuses as you instead of premierships.

When was the last time Penisini got any time and space?? His form has dipped but he’s being used poorly like most of our players.
Our outside backs rarely get early ball. Flawed game plan. One out garbage. Teams know it well. Souths acknowledged it and we are too stupid to do something different.
We played fantastic footy against the Roosters in the 1st half because we dished up something different and played footy and didn't expect every player to play bash up and give it to Moses to kick into the corner and try and pin the opposing winger in the corner.
Let's not forget the settler on the 4th plus our fwds running straight back into the ruck where the last play was made instead of trying to run into gaps and holes. Nope let's just be cannon fodder and get outmuscled and outnumbered.
Plus we never mix it up with dummy half runs...the more time I have to dissect our poor attacking structures the more it p&sses me off.

He’s on $900k now, how are we losing 2 players to bump him to $1m.

regardless of that, yes that is exactly what you do. He’s our halfback, you can play without one, and he’s quality and no like to like half is available on the market.

And this is why the Eels are not a top club...

Lol like the players threw their arse in the corner Thursday night??? Says the bloke who threw his arse in the corner to support Can-Brrrrrrrrra because his mate got rissoled from the CEO’s job. Hypocrite!!


And if you think we aren’t done for the season I’ve got a nice shiny bridge to sell you.

Or we only recently found the money. Maybe that's why we haven't replaced Kidwell.

You'll notice we didn't sign him from the Roosters or Souths. They will have better, more expensive people, probably with more staff under them.

We do need to find some form though. Hopefully that starts this weekend. I thought we started well against the Broncos but as soon as they had a few consecutive sets we collapsed. Very disappointing.
As soon as it rains (heavy) our chances go out the window. We don't have the pace to match teams in wet...That's my interpretation of it anyway....and I'm sticking to it!!!!
