POST GAME Round 16 - Bulldogs vs Broncos

Before everyone freaks out. That right there is our full strength squad. Everything bolded is either Origin affected or injured. We are FAR from full strength and came up against a squad that was more energetic and cohesive.

It's only June guys, take a deep breath and relax.

You forgot Glenn.
 
We're absolutely losing games in the ruck. The opposition is able to lie all over us because they're getting numbers in and putting us on our back. We're letting the opposition land on their bellies and consequently aren't able to slow the play the balls at all. Line speed, composure, decision time, everything comes off it and we're getting raped.
 
Could be out of the eight after the Storm do a number on us.
 
ur right but that just makes this even more depressing. on paper we have some amazing players. just the desire and commitment is not there for whatever reason half the team has seemed uninterested last few games

Yes but which one of their tries wasn't pure ass? Let's wait and see who's killing it at the end of season, I guarantee it's not the Warriors or the fucking Bullgrubs.
 
All is ok. Eden should leave Sydney via the international gate. Really missed McCullough again. Loosing since he has been injured. Next week the side should be near full strength beside Thiaday being a week away.

Yes it's only June but we've won like once in the last 2 months. That's scary. And I we haven't been close to any top 8 side.

oh i agree bulldogs are going no were this year. like i said earlier they are beyond woeful in attackthey just have big men that run straight and hard and if there up agasint a team that is not interested in defending they can score some points. but they wont run into any teams like that during finals time

As I said in the live game thread, it's been this way since wrestling became a thing. We seem to willingly go out of our way not to wrestle for the good of the game or some BS reason but it hurts us time and time again. I'm so over it.
 
Yuk....but there were moments to like. It will keep us humble . Next game we will be hurting and hungry and I expect the game against Melbourne to be very keenly contested

Yes, and if it were only actually origin and short-turn arounds and injuries, you wouldn't hear a peep from me. Unfortunately we have been playing this way since before Origin started, before we got injuries and when we were playing with good week long turnarounds.

There is a severe lack of interest from some of our so-called stars. Blair has already been dropped to the bench. He'd have to be close to reserve grade and Hunt wouldn't be far behind him in my book.
 
So if we don't make the finals does Bennett get sacked? That's awkward
 
I live in hope that we are in the midst of an '06-esque mid season slump where we lost 6 straight, and then won it all! Hey, a man can dream!

thats a brave call.. they will be in the mix again when it comes finals time, and good luck to the team that has to take there pack on..
 
even when we were winning to start the year we werent playing well... we're a long way away from the team we were last year
