Round 10 - Bulldogs vs Raiders - Discussion and Team Lists

[Captain Ibis]

I feel bad for Thompson won’t be surprised if he leaves early.

yeah he looks pretty bummed a lot of the time.. I think he had visions of being like a James Graham and having a solid pack go with him.. poor bloke

 

[Old Woof Woof]

Trent's gotta take a portion of the blame because the team ain't much different to what Pay had but we were better under Dean

strange enough I said a similar thing this afternoon to someone I know that we got rid of Dean Pay and now looking back we lost a few games under him but most of them were close games not the blow outs we lose by this year under a supposedly "genius" attacking coach and then the final humiliation of losing a game when Canberra had one man sent off and another in the sin bin and yet we found another way to get beaten courtesy of a dickhead forward . I would have much preferred to have kept others over brainless Elliott. With injured players coming back in the next few weeks Elliott should be sin binned to another lower grade never to return in first grade again!

this pussycat pack is offering nothing with Thompson the only one with any go forward in him. I read where another club was saying there are not too many good buys left now that June is approaching fast and here we are still farting about with a bunch of hookers that have no idea how to play fast "play the balls" without a decent spine this club is going nowhere.

Trent has just got to stop trying to be mr cool.. "oh we won't pay overs", "oh we want a certain type of player" mate, that's nice n all... but we're not exactly in a position to be choosey.. with each week we are looking less and less desirable.. look for the best up and coming hookers and forwards, or look for a current forward leader and throw whatever money you need to at them.. I'm actually disturbed by the fact that we still aren't talking to Kenny to be our hooker but we talk to a guy who is still on contract for next season

The guys played for Dean but unfortunately he just didn't have the coaching staff around him.. we desperately needed a proper attacking coach

I think after the Lichaa incident we should have banished Elliott for good... who cares what we're paying him.. let him look at other clubs and break contract... if that's the example your leadership group set, what good is morale going to be among the team

I do see signs of a few forwards starting to step up, ripping into the line, yet they're let down by not being backed up by team mates there to take the pass when it is on.
Thommo may be starting to influence the forwards, well, those that want to actually play.

Please, can we sign Brown to bitch slap Trent into action?
I know I keep saying it, yet FFS, we need to do something.
