Geez Averillo is getting better each game in the 1... looking very natural back there! great speed off the mark.

Be interesting to see if Slekton and/or Alamoti get a run before season end.

We need more in attack from Burns and Schoup.. Kiraz had shown he can provide in attack but the other guys aren't producing enough to keep their spots atm.

Averillo needs a big pre-season, he's definitely got the right attitude though.

Schoup has defended well and deserves time to prove himself but I feel like he'll be overtaken by one of the other options once they get a chance to show what they've got.. Skelton in particular will get a spot in the starting team somewhere surely.

Skelton and Alamoti still have defensive issues (Alamoti in particular).

Schoupp needs to stop coming in for the hit, then again JAC needs to stop leaving his wing for an intercept and leaving Schoupp dealing with overlaps.

Teams are starting to pick up on it (JAC leaving his wing).

Burns has a really nice tap on, but his defence and attack need fixing up pronto.

Gus mentioned hinted that we'll blood more younger guys, so it'll be interesting to see if that happens who they pick

Schoup has gotta get better with his offload. Burns has got a decent skill set probably just needs to get more involved.. though we tend to attack predominantly on the left side.

10 mins to go we havent scored a solitary point and we are hitting the "Im tired part of their game" The new coach has a huge task ahead of him to tighten up a none existence defence . He could start by getting rid of our existing defence coaches and finding someone that can actually make us entertainers again. We are just not up to the rules of modern football simple as that. better start planning for a resurgence in maybe 20 years time or so

living on hope every season is not good enough. 6 points in 160 mins of football is unbelievable in the modern football era. We can only keep going backwards other teams at the bottom like the cowboys last year will grow upwards and forwards.

disappointing to see them finish the season how they started it (minus the Cowboys game).

we're just not physically up to the task.. part of that is also just not having the players.. we're so small in the middle compared to other teams.. I really hope we get some more news soon... we need some props!!

NEW HIGH PERFORMANCE TO TAKE OVER THE REIGNS AT THE BULLDOGS
(Source: Telegraph Sport)
We keep hearing that former South Sydney
Rabbitohs, Sydney Roosters and NSW Blues.
Head Of High-Performance Travis Touma has been approached by Canterbury Bulldogs supremo Phil Gould to take over the reigns at the Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs club.
After he has spent over 10 years with arch rivals the Sydney Roosters, where he was involved in three premierships, including the famous Cooper Cronk- inspired triumph in 2018.

According to TheChookPen Touma was responsible for an increase in injuries at Roosters, hence released.

Hmm true but if you look at a lot of their injuries it's often the player at fault, particularly the concussions.. I'm not sure if he could have helped prevent many of them. There was also Morris who had a history with that leg, and that was just an awkward tackle... Manu was Latrell's fault last year, etc etc
