General NRL 2021 Round 4 - General Discussion

[Sup42]

Dogs putting up a good fight in the opening exchanges.....every Dog has his day....weaker teams might lose this game to a Dogs side showing fight.

Warriors better not.

 

[6Again]

Brian To’o is the type of winger we want. The big slow winger is no longer a thing.

Yup, Ken lacks acceleration and any kind of agility, Fusitua is agile scoring tries on the sideline but runs straight at defenders, can out leap players catching the ball in his red zone but can’t out leap the opposition to score in theirs.

Not much Ken can do, he‘s pretty much playing to his potential most weeks, Fusitua doesn’t play to his - both frustrating players for differing reasons. Neither overly quick.

Brian To’o does everything a winger should without limitations. In the time we‘ve rolled out the “Beast” then the “Mini Beast“ wingers have evolved considerably.

You gotta feel for the bulldogs. They couldn’t score a tinny in Otara let alone a try!

 

[Stalefish540]

Hethro is a muppet, glad we skipped over that one. He's a ticking suspension time bomb, and it is literally uncontrollable.

 

[Wellington Warrior]

Lol... Hetherington shoulder charge that missed.... but still got pinged for it...

 

[Sup42]

Seeing the dogs struggle to get out of their end gives me flashbacks.

 

[Panther]

Ogden

 

[Ever Hopeful]

3 weeks without a single point for the Dogs. Where to from here?

A rebuild around Burton I suppose, but that seems very long term.

 

[Worried2Death]

Manly looked better than that last night, the dogs'll be lucky not to come 17th this year, they're a hard watch.

 

[leaguejunkie]

Doggies doing it tough. Flanagan is a bit of a dub buy by the looks of it. Couldn't even be bothered trying to run down Reynolds after his kick got charged down.

 

[Sky Waka]

Canterbury was my team growing up but I think they should be fined $100,000 for not taking Lewis off the field right away.

 

[Billy Teets James]

Jeez Cody Walker needs a good fu*king hiding lol. Can't stand him.

You'd wonder how long until the Burton wanting to reneg on his deal articles pop up

Hard to believe that Doggies cannot find the tryline yet Barrett is a renowned attack coach.

Wasn't he the Penny's attacking coach?

 

[john nick]

Yes

 

[leaguejunkie]

Yes

Yikes, I suppose in Barrett's defence, he's not working with the same calibre of players at the doggies.

Hard to see where the doggies go to from here.

 

[PullinTeeth]

Fuck Cody Walkers a piece of shit. Wonder if there will be a big outrage like there was for Kafusis elbow.

 

[RobRoyMcCoy]

Is it just my dodgy old eyes or is Latrell fat?

 

[Stalefish540]

Hard to believe that Doggies cannot find the tryline yet Barrett is a renowned attack coach.

In 2019 Penny could roll up field, then they would have 50 odd tackles in the opp's 20 looking rudderless all game. Then in 2020 Barrett came onboard and put the cherry on top basically with his coaching of Cleary and Luai.

By all accounts he is a quality assistant, but that may be where it stops much like SK.
