NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 80 - Oprah level red dots

Noticed the Bulldogs narrative has shifted to 'the players are to blame for everything' with a little help from The Shire and the usual rent a quote bonehead ex players.

If you turn over your playing roster multiple times in the last few seasons, change your coaching staff multiple times and results get worse while simultaneously showing absolutely no signs of progress then it's probably not the players fault.

To change the culture and playing style/results at a club requires solid recruitment, patience and above all 'buy in' from the playing group.

If you're getting a large percentage of the players offside and the current regime has recruited those players in the last few season then you're doing at least some of those things pretty badly.

I'm going to blame Phil Gould (based on nothing but my personal bias).

While he may have got the ball rolling at Penrith, and for that he deserves some credit, they weren't able to take the next step until they sidelined him.

As a qualification, I know nothing (but even I can see that Matt Burton, while very good at Rugby League, is not a player to base a team around)

Not sure why I give a shit....I think it's because everytime I look at fox sports the agendas they push are so obvious it annoys me.
