Rumours and Stuff

[Gronk]

I am the forum guru. The bearer of hope. Remain patient my son. Good things will come.

You’re full of shit.

And them flogging us (which is a data point overweighted by Eels fans) had as much to do with our f**kup as anything Mick 'Supercoach' Potter cooked up.

I don’t think Potter is a SuperCoach. Look at how he did at the Tigers.

Vaughns got a 97.3% tackle rate and averages over 130mtrs. His forms been excellent the last two months. The dogs will miss him big time

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Well if Barrett wasn’t a negative factor in how the bulldogs were playing then he should have no trouble getting another head coaching gig very quickly.

Nobody's saying Barrett is a good coach ffs. He has a worse record than Mick Potter, who is also shit. Are you suggesting we would've improved under Potter? If so where is your evidence, besides Occam's Razor that you don't understand?

My little birds disagree. Expect a signing tomorrow to be announced.

 

[Incorrect]

Do we at least get a position?

Doggy....

Maybe it's Paul Vaughan!!

 

[lucablight]

LOL I said I wasn’t comparing anything other than a 19 year old half’s defence. But hey, flame away at Jake. I guess my bad for leaving the gate open.

I see no flaming. Just constructive feedback.

Not saying that at all. I’m saying coaching has a tangible effect on how a team plays. The change of coach at the Bulldog reflects that.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Now do Sam Walker.

Not comparing. Just saying.

Even Dylan Brown makes poor decisions. It's a feature of young players ffs.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Sam Walker has a lot of other strengths that contribute to him being a net positive so the Roosters are willing to wear his poor defence.

And that's why he's in the top 17 not just the top 30.

But coaching is about the roster and luck, not actual coaching ability. So maybe they are both really f**king good coaches but just unlucky with the rosters they've had....

Yeah the Mole does that all the time. If we sign anyone, he’s a genius. If we sign nobody, he was on the money but the deal fell through.

You’re right but Gronk seemed to imply it was a double standard that Jake Arthur gets criticised for his poor defence whilst Sam Walker doesn’t.

JA is getting re-signed

JAs defence is alot better than Walker's.
Attack not so much.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Sam Walker doesn't play for the Eels if he did he would be roasted.

Walker's tackle efficiency is up there with Moses':

Merkin	Tackle efficiency
Arthur	88.4%
Moses	82.8%
Walker	81.6%

Not bad for a backup.

 

[gaffer]

We have untill 5pm tomorow. Lets see who we sign. My little birds tell me we land someone and its not Tapau. If the names right then I reckon most will be happy

I'm not even talking about today's game. Have you actually been watching them play the past 2 months or just looking at scorelines and making assumptions on how they are playing? Go back and watch their game v the Bunnies. They played some awesome attacking footy, just a shame for them they can't defend for shit (a bit like us)....

How do you idiots not understand you're cherry-picking games ffs? Souths have been very inconsistent this year. They let the Knights score as many points as the Bulldogs (to match your cherry-picking with my own).

But as for whether the Bulldogs have improved under Potter I already said he has a better record than Barrett. It in no way supports us sacking our coach. It's a lot easier to find a better coach than Trent Barrett than to find one better than Brad Arthur. His record proves that.

Karmichael or Ben??
