If the Dogs lose v Penrith, the dogs will be barking (pun intended). There are rumblings already around the club that the Dogs have lost their culture. They always had the reputation of being the hardest training club playing an uncompromising style of footy with a touch of flair. But, Hasler trots out Williams, Kasiano, Eastwood and last year Frank Prichard who all look more like pub footy players than the hardened prototypical Bulldogs forward. This has not gone unnoticed with a lot of people behind the scenes. Many players have either regressed or just plateaued in their development and their style of footy STILL sees them struggle to score tries. Yes, they have made the semis and a gf appearance but on the whole the dogs have underachieved. Hasler as much as the Bulldogs probably needs a fresh start.
