How are we feeling after watching that demolition, still think the our boys didn't turn up after the loss? We played much better and than the Storm did tonight, we defended better and attacked better. I get the doom & gloom after a loss, and I definitely get the frustration, but Panthers have gone to another level this year so we just need to chill and make the other matches count best we can. I'm hoping last weeks game hasn't affected the team to much and they go into Monday's game with some confidence, or the Tigers will beat them.
Secretly hoping we get the Panthers after an Origin game and they rest a few players - they're looking so hot right now.

What I'll say about Gus is what did the club look like before he got there.
Even if he has put his nose in when and where he shouldn't make no mistakes the Dogs have improved out of sight in the time he's been there.
Now they are there getting to the peak is the tough bit so it gets scrutinised harder since he's a polarising figure tall poppy syndrome appears and anyone whose anyone whats to chop his knees off.
I'd take Gus over any of the front office people we have onboard now in positions of power.You may hate him but wherever he's gone success has followed and clubs have improved.He's got club building and championship dna something we lack.
Yes definately. He is great at what he does. Issues is his accountability lacks and too much tries to reinvent the wheel and not build. If you have some good juniors already playing and just need someone to get quality to the club, Gus is perfect and will get you a comp.
I think reinvent the wheel feels like that but I think it's more like adapt to circumstance.No club is the same and inherent issues need to be fixed so I feel it gets over scrutinised about the mentioned.
I mean right now he and Ciraldo are going through halves dilemma and no doubt other issues around there club.I just think right now in the 3 years he's been there they've gone from a bottom 4 side to a borderline top 4 side.Progress is there to see but like anything there's bumps along the way.
Thing is because it's Gus fans think he's perfect and love throwing stones it's tall poppy all over.
Me I admire Gus because he always takes tough jobs hell if it weren't for COVID he'd be at the Warriors right now.

The Bulldogs current position on the ladder (6th) is very misleading! They have 6 points coming from 2 wins, ( a golden point win against the Dragons who haven't won a game and a 4 point win against the Raiders who have also been struggling) plus they have had a bye. The Dogs form after 5 rounds should have them in the bottom 6.
As for the Panthers this season, the other 7 clubs that make up the top 8 come finals time are hoping injuries and suspensions hit the Panthers in late August and September. Otherwise, only teams with plenty of x factor, ( Broncos with Walsh or Rabbits with Mitchell) are any chance of hitting form and going on a run at finals time. The gap between the Panthers and the other 16 teams after 5 rounds is the biggest I can recall. If we compared it to a handicap horse race, the Panthers would be top weights with 66 kg's and the rest would have 52 kg's and less.
2 negatives make a positive right.
So that means Melbourne now have cancelled our 50 point curse, right?
Nope they just join us lol.
I refuse to accept that. Our 50 point curse is now over 🥳
Haha fair fair
Points against Penrith.....Brisbane 0, Sharks 6, Roosters 4, us 20 and Melbourne 10. I like silver linings, our attack has been fine, defence not good, if we could sort that, we go places.
