Doubt this is correct. Did an interview last month saying how much he loved the sea change and how hes enjoying his football.

Dragons and Knights are yet to have a bye. When they do they'll be above the Bulldogs on points Buzz.

Great podcast interview @Darciemcd Thanks for your contributions to the world of Rugby League :)

Honestly looks like he threw it. "Oh dear I cannot box anymore, I must go back to Rugby League ... what a shame... look NRL coaches out there... I can no longer box anymore".

Yet they, as his VERY close team mate, partook in that "humiliation", and actually added therefore to his current mental health issues. They could have simply refused to do it. That's where anyone that supports him will get destroyed by the Bulldogs legal team. I can't see how that's a good...

Just watched the game finally, and to be honest we did well. Second lowest scoring game for the Panthers this year (Round 1 Storm beat them 8 - nil). But in terms of winning games, this is the lowest winning score of a Panthers game all year. Sure they lost Cleary at half time, but apart from...

Apparently Panthers are after him to replace JFH. Plot twist..... Isaac IS Adam Driussi's burner account and he's been trolling us all along.

We better make a move on him soon. Gagai just knocked back the Roosters and they are cashed up and in the hunt for a few decent backs.

How refreshing that the media didn't report it as "ex Bulldogs" at all. Sounds like he needs a stint in prison to get him to pull his finger out.

Thank you everyone for your kind words. It came as such a shock to us all, as it really didn't seem like there was anything he couldn't talk to someone about. However sometimes sadly you just get sick of the simple things in life becomming crippling because you suffer from health issues...

Absolute amazing insight as there are so many metrics and datasets that you probably would never think play into the game of Rugby League (or make such a big difference). This is another masterstroke having a CEO who owns a data driven business at the helm. The club and coaching staff are able...

After the last few games of his, probably running scans to see if he's actually all human, or part terminator.

So him and Warbo do surf the forums and enjoy the 3-2-1 threads :) Great podcast first time I've actually listened (as I'm not really a podcast person. Adam comes across as a very astute operator. As fans, we are priviledged to have such a well spoken, and smart business person working with...

If it was truthful in the letter, why not publish it? The most concerning part is this.. Someone at the Tigers has taken that letter and given it to the media. That's a MAJOR privacy concern for any new potential sponsor.

Wifeys step father hung himself this morning. His wife went out for coffee, came home, and found him dead in the garage. He was 61 and leaves behind a wife, 2 kids and 2 stepkids. Despite recent (non terminal) health problems (that specialists had been trying to get answers for - for 12...

Surely we have some cash to splash as well.

Errrr... didn't he get injured the other week?

Probably the same mindset he has with his missus. Wanted another relationship with another woman.

They finished 13th out of like 15 teams last year. Return on investment for Bulldogs was nothing.

Dolphins if anything need him for another year or two to find tune their side, else it could end up like Titans have. But also from memory Bennett has two disabled children that are cared for by his ex wife, but live in Qld as well. That might play into his decision.

So by hitting Gould with a breach notice, are the NRL then accepting that everything he stated was 100% correct and on the money?!

I'm not fully convinced that Bennett won't retire at the end of the year. Blokes the oldest coach by some these days (75) and can retire happily up there with his family and friends. Else he's got to up and move his family AGAIN, and be forced to live around Redfern.

There's a discussion here already regarding Tapatalk, where I make mention of why it's not just as simple as installing a Tapatalk update. https://www.thekennel.net.au/forum/index.php?threads/tapatalk-is-back-up.103123/

BWAHAHAHAHAHAH wow ... that's definitely a brain fart for the ages LOL

Souths paraded Demetriou around and shielded him whilst blowing his trumpet as the next best thing. I really don't see how he ends up blamed for Souths demise. I feel there is just as much blame on the playing group not performing. Currently seems like they have overrelied on a few key players...

Interesting reply from them. Yes it is possible but it'd be akin to having your car serviced every 2378kms instead of every 20,000kms. Maintenance requirements are much higher, because you're constantly having to keep an eye on what version of Tapatalk you are using, and that holds back what...

It's compatible up to fairly recent versions on Xenforo, BUT, because Xenforo updates their forum software on a fairly regular basis, it means that Tapatalk is almost always unsupported again after a few months. So you end up with a situation of running technically uncompatible versions of...

Suprised the tree isn't pressing charges. Just standing there minding it's own business on other side of road and gets whacked by a stupid Kent. I'm getting strong "sibling rats out fellow sibling to parents" vibes, and I love it! He probably can't find a carer who will chaperone him to a pub...

One of those players that always put in 100% and will be highly respected regardless what he does post NRL career.

Bloody hell that's nice and confusing. Thanks for clearing that up.

Well it's hardly like other grades are fending much better sadly. Cyril Connell Cup - 7 games, 0 wins, closest game they lost 34 - 6. In Mal Meninga Cup they are on -470 points difference after 11 rounds, and the only club not to have hit 80 points in attack.

If you haven't seen it, it's hilarious. Sezer kicks ball, Tigers get penalised, and Fainu tackles the player forgetting it's a Broncos quick tap, leading to a professional foul and 10 in the bin. :tearsofjoy: :tearsofjoy: :tearsofjoy...

Okay, so IF the club settles.... 1. He is currently 22, so possibly a 10 year (250+ game career) career is generous at best. 2. He (if anything) should get minimum Top 30 player wage + 10%. Another thing... IF this happens, does it then flow on to impacting our salary cap. Gees that's a good...

Plot Twist .... Blue boost is said neighbour! That's your answer. Google up the property and find out the agent. Contact the agent and raise the issue. Tenants have a responsibility to ensure they are not creating a nuisance, nor interfereing with others peaceful enjoyment.

Parra seem to hate change, and like AOB have excuses for underperforming this year now. Bellamy has been coaching Storm for 22 consecutive years now. Since 2003. In that period Storm (despite being cap cheats), have only missed the finals series in one year (when they got wooden spoon).

Woah, that .... is odd. Gotta admit I didn't read that much into the link (and I did look at it before posting my initial comment). Loghan Lewis shows his birthday as a day before "Lachlan Lewis" has listed. I suspect somethings gone amiss with their data entry, as despite quite a bit of...

Huh? Elite LL and LL in NSW Cup are the same as the guy that played for Bulldogs. There's also a Loghan Lewis (you might be thinking of) who plays for Raiders. Could have sworn he was out of Top 30 squad this year.

So it went from 12 players wrestling him, to "seinor squad", to an entire squad. Sounds like there is some creative elaboration there, and if that can be proven by clubs lawyers, then other exaggerations might form part of our legal teams arguements. I do wonder too if perhaps he has breached...

I could be wrong but pretty sure Lachlan Lewis is not on an NRL contract with Raiders. Like Nick Coctric at Raiders, and Braidon Burns at Souths. He was 18th man in the NSW Cup game against us the other week, and another earlier in the season, so I think he's teetering between NSW Cup and...

Might be playing injured, or have bulked up too much, as I recall last year he seemed to be a lot quicker off the mark.

Oh yeah.... Ethan Strange will get the reins then if they can't get Sanders immediately.

Hope he has deep pockets, because paying the Bulldogs legal costs are going to sting when costs are awarded AGAINST him. Assuming all that the papers have been told is truthful and not a complete lie / sob story.

Clemton Park under 10s would have put a score against Knights in NSW Cup this week gone.. they were terrible. Forwards were non existent and they couldn't do a thing right. Taking nothing away from a solid and convincing Bulldogs performance though, but it's not really the game to judge...

Braidon Burns is playing NSW Cup for Rabbitohs this year. Not on an NRL Top 30 contract though as far as I know.

Mid range is no mistake. It's deliberate driving whilst tanked. Made worse that he was already suspended. At a minimum: - Alcohol Interlock Device required. - 6 month licence suspension. Sharks have acted fast and not sugar coated it. Stood down from both games and training until court and...

A long career, and a player you always knew what you'd get. But when it comes to head injuries you can't muck around.

Forget about this one.. Raiders are pushing hard to get Sanders released from Parramatta this season, and failing that signing him from 2025 onwards. If he doesn't get released early, Ethan Strange or Jack Wighton will cover Fogartys injury stint.

Papa has regressed in NSW Cup, now he's playing against men. Hasn't been anywhere near as dangerous as he was in lower grades. Still a long way off NRL in my opinion.

https://www.nswrl.com.au/news/2024/04/22/nswrl-tv-highlights--leagues-clubs-australia-ron-massey-cup---round-five/ Highlights and its the second game in the link. Sloppy defence at the end of the game to let them in and win. IMB is a massive presence out there. Cox in #10 is pretty sizable as...

Oooohhh good point there, albeit Thompsons was mental health and during covid, so I can give him a bit of a pass. Sutton I'd forgotten even plays for us he's off the field that often.

Do people not think logically about these rumours? Fogarty was only injured yesterday and by Raiders websites own admission, was only being sent for scans today (so even they don't know the extent of his injury), yet people are believing that a deal is already done to get a player from us is in...

You do what the Knights did earlier in the game... ask for a Captains Challenge for something pointless, and get a penalty out of it instead. Watched the game, was okay, but far from his Parra best.

Really? Whats his role then, because since he's come to the club our defence has improved out of sight.

Given the 52-6 hiding that Knights got in NSW Cup, their other halves options weren't much better. The Gamble call was worth the gamble (pun intended) as it saved their arse in many ways. When Ponga went down otherwise they'd have had to shift Crossland to fullback.

So far he's outdone both Foran and Stanley in terms of "most injury prone Dogs signing". That's not a title you want to claim.

Hutch should be on the bench, because he can cover halves, second row and lock due to his size. But does playing Taaffe for 80 minutes lessen his impact.

Today was the first game since the Parra game (Round 1) that I've had a chance to sit down and watch in full. What a dramatic change this team has undergone just in a number of rounds. Two hurtful losses to Parra and Sharks, but from there its been wins or narrow losses late in the game...

In fairness he was absolutely on fire in NSW Cup today. Probably the best game I've seen him play. Check out the highlights because he setup like 1 or 2 tries, and scored 2 of his own (including one of the best handling efforts I've seen in a while).

3. Tracey - His urgency to get out of goal, and popping up in attack was a constant danger. 2. Burton - Finally starting to look like a threat in the halves. 1. Curran - Really lead the forward pack and setup a try from a 5th tackle kick. But realistically almost everyone in the team stepped up...

I get that but it really wasn't needed and in the end has hurt our For and Against.

I honestly haven't seen Hayward really going onto anything decent, but have to admit he played his role well today and showed excellent vision, pace, and determination to score that try. Just not sure where he fits in as looked like today he played at lock with Curran moving to prop.

Anyone see Fox Sports during the game show JACs strikerate at the Bulldogs? Currently tracking better than at the Storm. 23 games for Bulldogs, 22 tries (and one he missed out on today). Given he was injured some of last year (and had to return to form) and hasn't scored this year till a few...

I'm not convinced hes anywhere near his best at the moment, and with Jake Turpin and Romano Cook (who looks really sharp and has pace), he will need to start performing. Was disappointed today to see him stupidly put Knights in a position to score by starting a fight. Absolutely no need for it.

Looks like a proper "Fuck About Find Out" moment. Nothing in it and probably fucking about with Mahoney, but he's gonna find out now the NRL are involved and cameras caught it.

A real shame as the bloke certainly has the skills, but if hes way overweight it's gonna take serious gymwork to get him slimmed down.

Not the first time a rumour started here has gone like wildfire :tearsofjoy:

Feeling sorry for the club since they only just finished mopping up the tears of Faitala Mariner and Topine.

Taaffe probably slots in at hooker given Ciraldo talking about him doing damage around tired forwards.

Hull FC are doing great with Okunbor, Pele and Eseese. Just look at this weeks results. Pele, Eseese both played, Okunbor was dropped to Reserve Grade. Even so they delivered accordingly..

Game is being shown live on NSWRLTV tomorrow at midday. https://www.nswrl.com.au/draw/ron-massey-cup/2024/round-5/mounties-v-bulldogs/ IMB has dropped off the teamlist though (unless playing in #17), but noticed Joey Tramontana playing for Mounties off bench (as are about 3 or 4 other ex...

Ahh nice. Must finally be returning from injury.

Anyone know if this bloke is still with the club, and if so, close to finally getting game time? I believe we have a few massive units that are injured currently, one being IMB, and I forget the other one.

Theres no way Maguire goes back to Souths after they sacked him.

He won't get sacked, he'll "resign effective immediately". Problem is Souths have created a wanktank around Demetriou as Bennett and Bellamy reincarnate, so theirs huge egg on Souths face if they sack him.

There are only victims in this tragedy sadly. Full kudos for the parents of the suspect coming out and speaking like they have. Stating that the son had a long history of schizophrenia and psychosis and they tried to keep him medicated but he slipped his dosages and then went off meds (and we...

Wonder if Bruce could take Justice Lee to court for defaming him now... wouldn't that be a welcome edition to this circus of a case.

Xenforo doesn't actually work with the app side of things anymore. Instead they (the Xenforo developers) recommend people to using the mobile site instead. Even Tapatalk support is pretty much dead in the water in terms of Xenforo these days.

NRL just need to get right of the obstruction rule completely. Either ban any lead runner and make it a penalty, or allow any lead runners without penalties.

It's an interesting way of changing the middle of the field during the game. Mann, Salmon, Curran all play very different games with very different purposes. Mann plays like another halfback, working left and right hand sides as a link man, and hardening up defence in middle of the park. Salmon...

Very well said. Spotify has endless Sportsbet ads. Everytime the footy is on its Sportsbet ads. It's completely over the top and out of control. They need to ban betting advertising the same way they did with cigarette advertising. People don't need ads to tell them how to bet.

Taaffe was a little shaky under the high ball, but you have to remember the NRL have changed the rules this year and defensive side is no longer allowed to have blockers to defend a player catching or kicking the ball. Hence why Kikau absolutely terrorrised Tannah Boyd this week, and also why...

The only thing Latrell terrorises is his wallet during a feed.

He only played 35 minutes this game. Didn't notice when he went down. Not a good injury though that's going to require some time away from the game. Foran will be happy though.. finally he's not the first player out for the season.

Crichton has played fullback for Panthers before and was woeful. Worse than Taaffe

Rothfield clutching at straws again. Club should just sue his arse into oblivion.

Piece of Shitchie completely forgets we signed Tetevano as well. We have King and Hughes, Morrin, Knight, Fa'amasuili, Curran, and Suluka-Fifita. Plus Matavela-Booth coming back from injury soon.

Got absolutely pumped by officials, but in fairness our defence was pretty damn good. A marked improvement on last season. Still a LOT to work on, but some positive signs nonetheless.

We didn't deserve that last try against us.

Wilson, Huchison and Crichton I *think* can kick.

WOOOHOOOOOO Bloody hell... IF we can score and convert next this game gets very interesting. Problem is that we've only got field position from Parra mistakes.

Penisinme causes the mistake for Dogs to captialise. One more try I'd be happy with. 20-10 is a pretty good scoreline for this game to end on.. considering the stats and how screwed we've got.

Amazed NRL haven't called off Mahoney for an HIA here.

Fucks sake... we are just making penalties up for nothing here.

Parra 67% possession 91% completion rate 1177 run metres to 611 2 errors (to Dogs 10) 3 set restarts to 0 6 penalties (NRL stats claim 6 penalties ALL?) To be down only 20, well its not too bad.

Where is our captain standing up for these lobsided penalty count? It's Parra.. rules do not apply.

That's not a one on one steal... Ball taken whilst 2 in tackle. Ball hit deadball line anyway. Gees and they were so certain about giving that try... Need a long dropout here.

Now ANOTHER penalty. This game is beyond a joke. Absolute rort. 14-0 to Parra @EXPLORER

HAHAHAHAHA fucking deadset joke this game is. Not allowed to kick the ball anymore it seems.

Fucking shut up Gunterson... you're teams getting everything your way plus more, and you're bitching still. Bloody blowarse.
