Check round 5. Playing washout game

It’s not

Not signed anywhere yet, in talks. Not roosters. @The DoggFather

Yeah I saw the replay of it after the game finished. Not good

It’s been a dominant display for a 1v2 clash. Considering the early sin bins too. Forwards have done well particularly in defence. Young fellas in Cook and Fuz performing admirably too

Some good movements down the right side. Sexton instrumental. Perham and Wilson linking well.

Yes he does. Commentary on a budget can’t expect much

I looked away for a moment for Kautoga’s but assumed high tackle at the time. Sexton was for team repeated infringements at the line

60-0 full time

42-0 after 44 mins

Anyway it’s 20-0 after 23 minutes. They will flog them today

Yep, I don’t mind paying as it’s much more convenient than getting out to all the games for me, but unfortunately it’s like running the gauntlet if it will work or not. Have had other issues with it but never this.

So do i. Can’t watch it though… app is just saying it is coming soon

Anyone able to get on to the Jersey Flegg game on now? App is telling me not yet available but started 10 mins ago

You’ve repeatedly used Liam Knights punishment as some type of evidence that Topine was unfairly treated, or punishments have changed since. However it shouldn’t be assumed, especially when you consider what has previously been publicly mentioned. Quoting Ciraldo on 30th August last year “We’ve...

can confirm

Yes you can pay for one game on the app. Interesting that Liam Knight not one of those rested in case of being needed on Friday…

A win in every grade so far today. Let’s hope the NRL can make it a clean sweep of 7

Should have given Todd and knight a rest, both gassed and causing defensive mistakes

Scraped in with the win in Lisa Fiaola cup too, 94-0.

Hey I’ve got no problems with you moving the goal posts if that’s your thing. I’ll assume you also don’t include FOXTEL, channel 9 or daily telegraph too then… Any others Freakzilla believes shouldn’t be excluded from the strong statement of “literally no one”? [emoji6]

Well…not literally….

He’s simply indicating he’s always rated him. Don’t take the comment so literally.

He said very similar back in 2020 mate. I don’t “eat it all up” but I’m also not quick to judge But you do you

What’s funny about that?

Dogs in the house

Make that 36-0

Well you were right I guess

Man down late in the game, first game in doesn’t help. This will help in the long run

Yes I’m on the app

Barakat quite impressive so far. Seve continuing where he left off last year. Great energy, forwards looking alright and positive signs. Just let a try in though as I type.

I just had a look and the article says you can get a year for $49.99 but the only option when you download is $8.99 / month (2 week trial). Much rather do the year if we have to pay now

Yes 1030 -1215 tomorrow. 930 - 1130 on Sat. Friday not on field (doing wrestle out west instead)

Yes, Tuesday and Thursday from 1030 - 12. Saturday 930 - 1130

Field session 2 till 3:30 today

Did you catch him out on Christmas Day helping out with the Laundy breakfast for the less fortunate? Only player I noticed there (and wouldn’t expect them to do it). Does say a bit about his mindset I think.

It’s in order of captains. RFM No.2

Wearing number #3, Burton to centre confirmed

I just got the double on my Facebook feed

He pops up on Facebook too. Would definitely be well planned if a troll, but from what I’ve seen there I would lean towards the former.

You mean Fanafou Seve yeah? https://www.thekennel.net.au/forum/index.php?threads/fanafou-seve-signs-3-year-development-top-30-deal.127768/ His brother is Itula Seve

Personally I don’t think we can say the coach traditionally picks and sticks after just one season, when in that period we used the most, or among the most, players of all clubs. Injuries weren’t the only reason for those changes either.

Wasn’t it a Paul Crawley speculation article this morning (I avoid reading his “work”) but heard it’s what he said in there

Sounds good. If not, will definitely try and catch up there prior to the Christmas break.

I haven’t been able to head over yet this pre-season, just had too much on. Maybe Friday if it’s afternoon? Will you be around?

That can’t be right mate, he wasn’t sighted in all of the (9) photos posted by the club today… [emoji6]

Brent Read - “Sorry Gus, you’re actually not that interesting. “ * Writes another article about Gus *

2025

Pretty sure for some around here you need to use smaller words, speak slower, or use pictures to explain it to them..

The first hurdle is warriors need to agree. Will need to be patient on this one.

That isn’t the evidence you think it is

Ron Massey this year

He averaged 46 mins a game last year, which is down on his previous average but due to Tohu Harris and others getting bigger minutes. Whilst a few have discussed him on an edge, he’s played plenty of middle (lock) & is almost identical size to King. So in effect can cover lock, prop and second...

Yeah, our summer squad for SG Ball and Harold Matt’s were announced back on 4th October and were set to start a couple of weeks later, so I’m sure they have, or about to as well. https://www.bulldogs.com.au/news/2023/10/04/academy-news-2024-male-representative-summer-squads/

Considering we broke our affiliation with them at the end of last year…..no

Hard to compare metres gained as they both played different roles in their team, but King averaged 52 mins per game and Curran 46 last season. This was down for both on their previous season. Curran was not first option for hit ups so obviously didn’t get as many on average which makes it hard...

Won’t be NRL. Likely the junior trial teams

Melbourne cup on Tuesday, gives them 2 days to recover from a bender.

Players are doing training individually or in small groups, but it isn’t driven by the club due to RLPA agreements, it’s players keeping fit themselves.

The one that’s in the bin

I can’t agree with you on that one. In my experience around retail in Sydney, they are basically the target market for those products. They are a key demographic for the brands to be successful. Of course your partner and her circle may be different.

Basically identical weight and height to Max. @Bulldogsteve would probably have a stronger view being closer to his career. We would probably want more hitups from him, which is different from what warriors have used him for. It’s possible. At the very least a very good lock option, who could...

Well, you may be looking to frame it that way, seeing as your previous comment about him wasn’t accurate. But here is another view that is closer to the situation in NZ:- “He could find himself a victim of the salary cap, as the Warriors have a number of young forwards they will be looking to...

His errors last year (12), and penalties conceded (4), rank well down on others as a total, and an average, when also factoring in his average minutes (46 per game). Despite what others may suggest, it isn’t an issue based on the actual numbers. Solid in defence too, gets a decent amount of...

Sometimes things just don’t work out / align for either or both parties. Same as a typical workplace.

You misunderstand the point brother. There is way too much chatter (in my opinion) on something small like this. Sure, it’s good Jobels thought of doing it, and have kept it going. Complaining about who they put on, who deserves to be on it, linking the decisions back to the state of the club...

Sure. You’re right, it is a little thing. I’m surprised that so many are so hung up on it, that’s all. Maybe it’s me in the minority.

No nothing controversial. He just said the media have taken it their way. He said he is appealing the suspension as they (NRL) hasn’t cared about Koori knockout before, and doesn’t think any punishment for what happened there should include a suspension. I didn’t hear him say, or allude to...

Am I the only one that doesn’t give a **** about a mural? Way too much thought put into it I think. It’s not even organised by the club. I mean seriously guys!

It’s an interesting one. Playing for the tigers since, after the SG Ball season finished in April. Had a development contract with us for next year too. Must have received better assurances of progress there.

Referring to the link I provided earlier for the NRL player lists by club, it is the most accurate that’s available publicly I understand, though it’s not perfect. The development players for us is an example, having Iverson Matai listed despite leaving us earlier in the year. Overall though...

Yes would have to assume that his along with Hopoi, O’Neill, Rajab are second tier / development deals

I personally wouldn’t bother using zero tackle, as it does have a history of being wrong. Here’s the NRL tracker which is usually much more spot on, for future reference if desired...

The coach has said he just wants him to run

Reni is in Queensland

Where was the oztag game?

Yes. He left Tigers when Sheens joined them, as part of their review.

And that Gus arrived in “late 2019”. It was July 2021, so a fair way off the mark. The best info is the stuff from interviewing Hartigan.

I recall being at pre-season training on TPJ birthday. The guy wasn’t training (and hadn’t for the majority of pre-season) and was floating around the field and the sheds. At the end of the sessions they’ll get any of the birthday guys in the middle of the huddle usually, get them doing a bit...

Thanks. I know myself and a few others have definitely been keen to keep a close eye on the juniors coming through, and I have been fortunate enough to get to games and training. I’d rather this kind of thing be the topic of conversation, rather than a lot of the rubbish that seems to be...

Mitchell Woods - Harold Matts

I was thinking about this earlier today and I do agree. NSW cup is nice to win of course, but our recent history of success there hasn’t meant much. Bears playing the grand final today and have a number of players that have been around the traps and failed to step up when they’ve had the chance.

You say there are holes in other people’s defence of Gus, however there are also holes in your attack on him too. Particularly when you use examples in your own comments which are incorrect. You flagged Marshall as one of two examples of the better juniors which were here prior to Gus...

Tickets available at the gate

The video itself is a re-post from back in March

Here’s a poorly thought out take, with misinformation thrown in for good measure. Tell me, who are the “Plenty of clubs” who don’t have a jersey flegg team…? Answer - There are 12 teams in Jersey Flegg. The 5 “missing” are 4 x QLD (they have their own comp) and NZ. All other teams are...

Can’t agree with you there mate. NSW cup maybe, but not near ready for NRL in my view. Defensively still a way to go. Even in last weeks game he had some bad lapses. Happy for him to prove me wrong though.

I also assumed this but being honest hadn’t checked it. Fanafou definitely stood out, considering the team overall didn’t make finals.

Thanks Hackenbush, I do agree with Harry Hayes, strong kid who looks like he will go well. Not sold on Kautoga and Gray I must say. Whilst Gray has been reliable at hooker, others have been prioritised through the season. Kautoga came to us during the season and didn’t really stand out, maybe...

Yes good call, I had Itula initially in there but was part of my cull to reduce names, I didn’t want to end up naming everyone He had a strong finals campaign after mainly starting off the bench during the season. Don’t have him rated as the best emerging player in the club just yet, but...

It’s only very early on in his career, he does seem to get more involved in games as the minutes tick. So far not trying to get his hands on every set etc. In his NRL stint I do think he was told just to ease into it and just focus on the basics, which is fair enough. Showed defensively he can...

Agree with this, very hard. Removing Woods from the equation despite only being in Harold Matt’s adds to the degree of difficulty What I will say is I am definitely going to be barracking for Isaac Matalavea-Booth to kick on. His imposing size could be great for us if he develops to NRL...

Understand what you’re saying stingray, and know parents will no doubt be unhappy if their kid isn’t being picked. In my opinion priority should always be with club success first, so if the development coaches feel we have to go elsewhere to get us moving forward, I’m ok with that.

Yeah I’ve liked that from him too. Truth is there are a number of promising guys, I tried to limit it by mainly acknowledging the guys who have gone up a level during the year and played well. Harold Matt’s the only one I couldn’t really do that for.

Totally agree with these guys. There are a stack of second towers that look promising, some will definitely be up for the challenge of the strong competition for spots.

Played SG ball then was in and out of Jersey Flegg team for the remainder of the season. Think he’s got talent, but there are a few 2nd towers challenging too at the moment.

I do agree on Harrison (if he does re-sign). I think they'll run with Karl at 5/8 for now (and possibly for the next couple of seasons, but could eventually move to lock. We will have a fair indication in December training though i think.

I agree with all of those too (I culled a couple due to length :laughing:)
