    What would the Kennel do?

    All those saying Lewis will come in seriously no idea. Hoops will go to Fullback, Holland to centre and a forward on the bench. Hopefully Nu Brown if fit. Wooden spoon here we come.

    Crowd numbers tumble as Belmore bites Bulldogs again.

    There was some sort of Asian dance group or something practicing behind the stadium pre-kick off. Not sure what happened there... Instead we got to hear the DJ play unedited Hip Hop tunes which was family friendly.... PS not that I care... but it just shows how poorly the club is being managed...

    Lewis and Cleeland Now!

    Lewis was average at best yesterday. Happy to give him a crack but he’s not the messiah.

    Are we paying anything for Moses Mbye to play elsewhere?

    Andrew Hill said a few weeks back we won’t pay for players to play at other clubs... If we are paying for Mbye then off with his head I say!

    The full extent and repercussions of Canterbury’s salary cap hell

    Exactly. Prepare for the worst boys. It’s coming.

    The full extent and repercussions of Canterbury’s salary cap hell

    It’s common knowledge which players from all clubs are coming off contract... Morris boys and Eastwood are gone. Offloading players means players that are contracted but we need to free up cap space to put together a full 30 man squad. We will lose a few good contracted players mark my word.
  10. Mike_B

    The full extent and repercussions of Canterbury’s salary cap hell

    I’m exaggerating to make a point, which is we need to release players to sign players. 14 players off contract, that means we need 14 (say 13 minus Cogger) to put a 30 man squad together. 13 in to 800k doesn’t work. To fill the squad we have to shed players who others will want to pick up...

    The full extent and repercussions of Canterbury’s salary cap hell

    We could lose all off contract players plus any or all of Jackson, Klemmer, RFM and Woods (only players any club would want). Maybe even Foran and Mbye. So pretty much our team next year could look something like this... 1) Bergamin 2) Montoya 3) Holland 4) Hopoate 5) Olive 6) Nu Brown 7)...
  12. Mike_B

    The full extent and repercussions of Canterbury’s salary cap hell

    The problem we have moving forward is we are going to have to get rid of players to fit a full 30 man squad under the cap. That means we need to get rid of players mid contract that other teams will want. That means we are likely to lose the likes of Klemmer, Jackson and RFM. No other...

    The full extent and repercussions of Canterbury’s salary cap hell

    You’re delusional if you don’t think this is on the money. Where there is smoke there’s fire. Des, Dib and Raelene have fucked us good.

    Wicked sister shorts

    Don’t like the white sleeves. I actually prefer the traditional V which we have on the current jersey however the rest of it is shite. As for wicked sister I absolutely hate it. More than Kia! I like the 2013 jersey... Also don’t mind this version of the heritage from a few years back

    Round 6: Dogs v Cowboys 3-2-1

    Yep it was dumb from Fualalo. Completely his fault. 3 RFM (best thing to come from Des leaving is seeing this guy get minutes. Our best this season so far) 2 Elliot (I’m his biggest critic but he played his heart out( 1 JMK (kid can tackle!)
  20. Mike_B

    This is our potential.

    Good to get a win especially as I was expecting the Cowboys to come out firing. Tough win but let’s not getting carried away as the Cowboys were absolutely awful. I hope we can build off this but honestly not expecting anything more than a bottom half of the table finish this year.

    Throwback Thursday: Bulldogs vs Manly - explosive opening to their 1994 match at Belmore

    Are you talking about the first multicultural game against Parra where we flogged them? Great day. Fans were climbing on the roof of the stand behind the posts it was that packed. It didn’t rain though...

    Round 6 line up - what the fans want

    Love how everyone is hating on Montoya. Was arguably our best player last season. Form hasn’t been great this year but I’d say aside from Mbye and Foran the rest of the team have been shit too
  23. Mike_B

    Lewis has to go to 1st grade

    Lol surely you are kidding about us winning 5 games if we had Lewis in.... I’d like to see him get a run also but no way is just putting Lewis in going to change our results or form.

    Captain for this week

    Normally it would have been J Moz under Des. But I wouldn’t be surprised to see Woods or Klemperer get it....

    Constructive Critisism On Pay's Coaching So Far

    Tigers are winning on the back of their defence. They are defending with heart. Unless the dogs start doing the same we’ll finish dead set last.
  26. Mike_B

    So which outside backs are off contract?

    Would keep the Morris twins on 300k a year. Invest the savings in a better 5/8 and strengthen bench if the right players are available.

    Played his heart out. He was out on his feet the last 20 minutes but kept getting up. Took some hits too I was worried his shoulder was fucked.

    Great memories on here. 1998 semi vs parra. I bought a ticket of some random bloke outside the stadium. Ended up sitting with him and his mates and they were all Parra supporters. They were giving it to me all game... I had the last laugh. I was sitting in that small area behind the posts...

    Beastwood

    Beast was one of my favourite players about 5 years ago... he was devastating back then but is unfortunately well past it now. Another back ended Des deal that has bitten us in the arse. Would love to see him regain form but I won't hold my breath...
  46. Mike_B

    Who will be our X-factor in 2018

    Hopefully Mybe at fullback. I think Montoya could have a big year. Lichaa could have a big year if he gets to play his natural game. Also agree if the Moz boys can get early ball they could surprise a few people.

    Bulldogs players for 2019, players off contract league wise. List included.

    Mbye set to become Bulldogs fullback

    Swap Frawley for Cleeland. Frawley had an opportunity as was average at best. Like to see Cleeland have a run in the halves with Foran. Or Foran at 7 and Nu Brown at 6.

    2018 Jersey?

    I asked the question at the last members committee meeting several months back. The COO (can't recall his name) said it will remain red but the Kia logo will be smaller and the point of the V will be back. Unfortunately it looks like the pic is legit. The collar area all blue looks ridiculous.

    Question about membership packs 2018

    They do.. the members committee. All were in favour off a gift voucher rather than the same old cheap scarf and hat. You can only have so much of those.... At least with the gift voucher you can put it towards purchasing decent merchandise.
  55. Mike_B

    Question about membership packs 2018

    Adult packs will include a gift card for 2018. Kids packs will include merch. It is around $20-$25 from memory.

    Michael Ennis Comments On The Bulldogs Culture: "They've Lost Who They Are"

    What pisses me off about Ennis is that he considers himself a Shark these days. Yes he won a premiership with them but he played two bloody seasons with them. He seems to be always attacking us when he played longer for and captained our great club. There's a difference between attacking the...

    Jim Dymock says he's ready to take over from Des Hasler as Canterbury Bulldogs coach

    Don't want Dymock as coach. He's played a part in this rubbish they've served up for the last 3 years... bring in Pay. Dymock can remain his assistant.
  66. Mike_B

    Our run to the GF 2014 was it the players or the coach? You decide

    2014 we had a great game against the storm then got lucky against Manly who were depleted through injury and Penrith were inexperienced. When we finally played a strong team we got flogged.

    Bulldogs Fullback fan poll

    My vote is Patten. However, as much as I hate him now... Barba in 2012 was untouchable and arguably one of, if not the best individual season of any player, ever.

    We signed Teddy on for him to backflip. Surely that means there's some cash available. Cronk likes structured play - which is Des's style. Could do the media gig and have a coaching role post playing without having to travel to Melbourne. If this happens I'll be happy... but not holding my...

    Jersey Design Challenge

    I can give some insight in to next years jersey. Kia logo will remain red, but will be slightly smaller and not as prominent a shade of red (slightly toned down). The point at the bottom of the V will return also which I'm happy about.
  71. Mike_B

    Well done to the club!

    There were not enough toilets - normally they have portaloos and they didn't open all exits so you had to walk all the way to the main stand side to exit at the end of the game. It's like they didn't expect a good sized crowd so didn't plan well. Either that or they are cutting costs at the...

    Steve Mortimer said Moses Mbye is Mick Ennis' replacement

    Turvey is a champ. Last year for my mates bucks I contacted him and asked if he'd pop in to the leagues club to say g'day at the start of the day (we started with breakfast at the club). Turvey turned up, had a coffee with us and told us old stories of the club and games he'd played in. Legend.

    Des Hasler after Manly losing the 1995 Grand Final (to the Dogs)

    Said all along he came to the club to screw us over as payback for 1995. Also Manly and Dogs both have won the premiership 8 times. Des has been sent to ensure we never win another.

    Crappy year...1 positive

    The only good thing to come out of season 2017. He even has a better short kicking game than out halves.

    What coach should the Bulldogs have right now?

    Dean Pay. Need someone who understands the culture, can stick a rocket up these players, was as tough as they come so he won't tolerate any of this soft crap we are seeing these days. Those saying Dymock, he's Des's right hand man so he's part of this rubbish that's getting served up week in...

    Vagana was untouchable in 2002. I'd go as far as saying he's our best ever centre. Stats don't lie and he was superb to watch. That game against Souths! - Talau - Tonga 2014 - Connolly - J Moz 2012 - McCracken - Timu - Farrar - Mortimers We've had some great centres.

    Wait what? You actually thought Holland was a better winger at one point? Holland is slow, lacks skill and cannot defend. All he offers is goal kicking.

    Let's not get too excited

    Nice to get a win. The boys played with some heart which is a start. That said, we scored a couple of lucky try's. Our halves for the most part still looked average in attack. This doesn't change anything. Still not a top 8 team. The one positive is Montoya. This kid is class and if Holland...
