hmmm so coaches get paid and players dont? I mean they will do the same work as players right? training twice a week and play on the weekend. Surely it wouldnt be a fulltime salary in amateur club land?

I'm not sure if you're baiting here.
Most of the 1st grade coaches I've known are at very least also reviewing game footage one night a week and having standalone meetings with other coaches to gameplan on other nights, along with full training session plans. On top of that a lot of the coaches are making themselves available all day on gameday even though the 1st grade players usually won't arrive at the grounds until lunchtime.
Todd Dammers was always at GPS games for the 9am kickoffs and happy to lend a hand.

Not to mention the countless times he would jump in as a touch judge at Souths for 4th and 5th grades. As well jumping into halftime huddles and offering his bits of advice when needed. He and many other 1st grade coaches don't have to be at the club for 5th grade kick offs yet they still turn up.

Looking at how Souths were building as a club during that period the club would be disappointed to be in the current position that it’s in.
I know listening to Dammers talk when he was at Souths, he was very much about the success of the entire club. Those days for Souths supporters seem a long way away.
I am nervous for them in all grades against the likes of Easts, Brothers & Wests… could be a bleak year for their lower grade depth.

Tony Mcgahan has come in and did a much better job of recruitment which filters down through the other grades. Last year they picked up zero recruits for prems.

If you think a subset of players aren't getting paid directly by clubs or indirectly through employment opportunities/discounted housing, I have a bankrupt casino shaped like a toilet to sell you.

Just looked at what is ahead of Wests in the next two rounds Souths at home and Bothers away so potentially the Bulldogs could be 1&4 - they could be in the same situation as the Penrith Panthers - denying that there is anything wrong.
Respectfully the premiership window does not stay open forever, and maybe there needs to be some humble pie eaten at Sylvan Road and change a few things to suit the current crop of players because if they do go 1&4 it is a very long road to finals footy.

what do you think needs changing? Genuinely interested, personally I think there has been almost no structure in attack from the backline, it has been 2 very wet games, but others have had same conditions and shown more. Also some poor turnovers in possession from forwards mainly but backs at times too have really hurt momentum
