Dog vs Eagles

Posted by RIDER on August 12, 2016 at 7:29am

I watched the game last night and these are the 5 things I learnt.

1. Bulldogs are not a top 4 team and apart from when the forwards get a roll on the rest is very average.

2. Manly fans say we are delusional. They believe their team did well losing to a top 4 team and cant wait til next year. Next year will be much the same for them.

3. The Dogs need to change something in the halves. Reynolds gives 100% but neither of them can control a game

4. I thought Des was a better coach but his team seems to be doing the same things as they were 2yrs ago.

5. Barrett is out of his depth and has no real game plan. Throw it to DCE or TT.

What are your thoughts?

Foran will fix their halves problem next year and Barrett is a mong

  Who will they drop?
  
  Reynolds - A player who his captain loves and rates highly
  
  or
  
  Mbye - A player with more skill than Reynolds but seems reluctant to show it.

Agree that the dogs have been very ordinary yet are in the top 4. Probably has more to with the Broncos and Cowboys dropping down the table than the dogs own form

I was pleased in what I saw of Vave. Big guy with a step and ball skills. Will be useful for us next year

  Vave's stats last night:
  
  43 minutes, 181m from 18 runs (10.06m per run), 1 tackle break, 21 tackles, 2 offloads & 0 missed tackles.
  
  Now THAT is impact. And he's been doing it all year.

  If he does come to Parra he will get 9 weeks for the first trip.

You know what makes me smile?

We've beaten Manly 5 in a row, and are still a team on the rise.

We could make it 10 in a row before they beat us haha.
