Again, watching Gus on 100% Footy he said that they were training them at the level they would train a good team and some of them can't handle it, some have gone backwards. It was a real FMD moment watching and listening to Gus.

I wasn't aware of the McLean, Brown, Sims potential signings. I'll have to think about that. But watching Gus on 100% Footy he basically said he wasn't looking at signing players based on talent but more based on experience and attitude and those guys fit that criteria. Still need time to...

Playing 5/8 as junior where you are bigger than everyone else is not the same as playing 5/8 in the NRL. The same as with Schuster. But Schuster has a much higher ceiling. But he needs to get fit and get his act together. Burton can't kick, apart from a bomb which is becoming less effective...

And the Kennel still has that loser mentality of blaming the refs for their poor performances. That's so lame. The gameday thread is always good for a laugh. Every time a call doesn't go the Dogs way it's some sort of Donald Trump QANON conspiracy. The Dogs were lucky there weren't another 20...

The games against Newcastle also showed how poor the Dogs back 5 are. The Knights have got big, athletic backs that run like front rowers: Marzew, Young, Gags, Best. Ado Carr was good at the Storm, but he relies on the players inside him. Gets driven back all the time. His defence is woeful...

As I've written previously on here The Dogs are one team I've been following for past few years. I don't have a particular team I follow, but rebuilds interest me. I haven't bothered posting anything so far this year because it's just a repeat of the last few years and the same mistakes are...

I know you would never have a go being a ref yourself, you know you would make a complete goose of yourself. And I love your selective memory about all the childish and crude things you have written on this forum about referees and even their wives. You are a classic example of an obnoxious...

No, your supposed point was that a coaches career in the Super League was important and relevant. I told you no, a coaches career in Super League should be ignored. The standard is so much lower, it doesn’t mean anything. As successful coaches in the Super League like Nathan Brown and Justin...

I don’t think any club wants Flanno as a coach, for obvious reasons, I wouldn’t be surprised if they were looking at Mick Lantry, he came close to getting the gig in 2017, but you never really know. For assistant coaches, defence, I think the Knights are looking at reserve grade coach Mark...

He was an assistant coach under Nathan Brown for a couple of years. Cheers, RW

Agree with everything you've said gbrussell, including the two refs. The games is just too fast these days for one ref. I've seen so many young refs give it away because refereeing a schoolboys game can be a frightening experience. The way obnoxious people who have no idea what they are talking...

"WTF, are you seriously placing less credence in what a coach achieved with multiple teams in the ESL" Yes. "compared to what they have or rather haven't achieved at the Tigers, the place where coaching careers go to die." Plenty of coaches careers have died at the Bulldogs too. Take the...

I don’t agree. I don’t give any credence to what anyone does as a coach in the Super League. The standard is so much lower, it doesn’t mean anything. As successful coaches in the Super League like Nathan Brown and Justin Holbrook and others have shown. You should ignore any part of a coaches...

You have obviously never refereed a game of RL. If you had a clue what you were talking about, you would know that the ref saw the obstruction infringement, knew he had to blow a penalty and put the whistle his mouth and blew it, like he’s supposed to. All that happened before the Fox made a...

The Dogs were really good in the first half, but not so good in the second half. The Knights were never going to win with so many players out: Ponga, Lee, Best, Hunt, Fitzgibbon, Mann, Randall, Thompson and back-up forwards Sue and Momoisea. But there has to be more of a next man up...

The most significant thing from the Bulldogs perspective is what Mick Potter has done since taking over. There was nothing in his past as a coach that would have suggested he could achieve so much with this team. Maybe he’s reached a point in his coaching career where he’s just relaxed and...

I have some problems with the game in its current form. Quite a few. The six again hasn't worked as intended. And fiddling around with it this year hasn't worked either. The biggest problem is that we hardly ever know what the six again is for and who infringed. With a penalty, the ref has...

Dogs clocked off in the second half, literally took their eyes off the ball on occasions. But Knights never looked like scoring. Far too reliant on Ponga in attack.

It’s half time. You must be happy. Dogs are up and playing well. The Knights couldn’t be playing worse, some really poor stuff the from the Knights. Gagai is rubbish. As I said, Souths got rid of him for a reason. And poor old Tex Hoy is no Ponga. Super League next year is the best place for...

Yes, it’s a Bulldogs site, it’s a rugby league site. Not everyone has be a one-eyed, irrational Dogs supporter or a supporter of any particular club to participate. Some people just enjoy a good game of rugby league, even if it’s just a Ron Massey Cup game at Lidcombe Oval or Wyatt Park or...

That’s my point, my perspective. There is something about Rugby League that turns some supporters of a particular club into obnoxious idiots. I just don’t understand it. And it is appalling to see what goes on at schoolboy games. Parents can be a bit over the top in a lot of sports but at...

I agree that Dom Young is a threat. We can agree on some things. He’s improved a lot this year. But… The areas he’s improved in are all around his natural talent and athleticism. The area’s the coaching staff are supposed to help him improve, defence, positional play, decision making has not...

Have you always been this paranoid? You’re like a Trump supporter. “There are no independent voters!” “You’re either with us or against us!” “No one votes for different parties at different elections!” “You can only support one party. Us or the woke, liberal, socialist!” “There are no...

"Do you even reality bro" Do you want to try that again? Cheers, RW.

I have explained previously where my interest in league is. I have been involved in the game for too long at too many different levels to be interested in supporting any one team. That might be difficult for you to grasp, but it shouldn’t be. There are things to like about every team in the...

Racist? You want to go there? Seriously? You need to talk to belmore_utd and what he wrote about Bulldogs fans. Here’s a sample: “Bull-DOGS! We have drums, banter, flares, ethnic slurs, bottle throwing and 35% more ref abuse”. You really need to consider where any racially based comments are...

Yup. That’s exactly what I mean. <Eye-Roll> Cheers, RW.

LOL. You’ve obviously never been to a Bulldogs home game. You can support your team without being obnoxious about the opposition or their supporters. And the hypocrisy… You can go to any schoolboy’s game on a Saturday morning anywhere in NSW and see what I’m talking about in a very graphic way...

This I what I meant in my reply to Fear.The.Roo. The chant of: Bull-DOGS…Bull-DOGS is SO much better. And it’s SO clever and not at all drone-like. DUH! Cheers, RW

As I said in my previous message, I follow the game, not any particular team, but The Spoon raises a really important point. Keeping a club’s fans informed and entertained with quality videos like these is so important these days. I think the Knights do it the best. There’s a new video like...

26. Kalache. 27. Esse Esse* 28. Britt* 29. Korisau* 30. Ramien* I’d be wary of signing Ramien if I were a Sydney club other than the Sharks. He arrived in Newcastle as a 21-year-old with 21 NRL games to his name and was kicking stones and bitching and moaning about the money he’d signed for...

I follow the game, no particular team and browse club forums from time to time and have an interest in rosters and salary caps. The Dogs need to get this right or they will continue to languish at the bottom of the table for the foreseeable future. And the continued talk about having a...
