The fact that CH was even mentioned in that way in a Bulldogs thread by a supposed bulldogs fan, they should be banned for that rubbish…. What a “Fan” hey…..
Guys gotta be right no matter the damage to the club, and those 2004 players, yet is advocating for the mental health concerns of another of our current players. Weird.

Why can't we post in that thread?
It's a pretty big news story for the dogs that's ongoing?

Did it get out of hand?

Hopefully a new thread can be approved by Mods.

The Topine court case against the club is the biggest news in RL atm.

Just saw an article from Weidler about Topine’s dad threatening legal action after the wrestling session.
Reminds me of when Mark Hunt tried to sue the UFC.
Hopefully Jackson’s not getting all of his advice from his dad.

Also Trindall is so lucky that his story is getting buried

It's from Weidler so we can safely assume it is near on officially representing the club's explanation for the timeline of events.

A comment from that Bulldogs socials site.....

"Sounds like he’s been coerced by his Father who probably had dollar signs in his eyes. He seemed prepared to get on with it, then suddenly stopped showing up. It reeks of family interference".

Don't really think it was the dollar signs but emotion overcame him and his Dad didn't think it thru enough and it's had a snowballing effect. The better option was to get his contract release and move on if the family thought he was getting a raw deal somehow.

I still think the family and Bulldogs representatives sitting around the kitchen table could resolve this so that the club can move on and Jackson can commence a career in UK to settle himself down and get back to playing again.

Every training session is torture, it's supposed to be hard, it has to hard, both mentally and physically.


Always a Bulldog
Billy Slater, Brad Fittler have said the same. If you can't keep up on the training paddock, can't go that extra yard how are you going to accomplish it on the field of play against others who can. Some people are not suited to the professional game and unfortunately it seems this way for Jackson.

The way this will go is if nrl don’t come and support us as it’s their employee under their umbrella as well, we are all doomed. I’m thinking between our lawyers and nrl lawyers we will throw this out of court.
