Ok we got a messy win and all. I not long watched it on you tube. Obviously we were incredible in the first half absolutely crap in the second. But when momentum changes that much I am very suspicious. I was curious about the dispensation of 6 again calls through the game. So I noted them down...

My opinion. South's should be down two players at half time. 1 for a hip drop. 1 for a professional foul on Hutchison. Interested to see if I'm alone in this opinion. Vote fothermuckers.

Ok so having read the story about the teams travelling with an army of minders, I wondered how much shot they expect the players to get in. I'm going to guess conservatively and say 3 arrests. Interesting to know what others think.

With the amount of negativity round here at the moment I thought I'd throw up a long winded post about where I think we're at as a club right now compared to the journey from rock bottom. This is mostly thrown up for perspective. Things might still look bleak to some, but we are moving in a...

Can anyone post this full article. https://www.couriermail.com.au/sport/nrl/nrl-2023-boxing-convert-tevita-pangai-jr-on-dolphins-bulldogs-and-cameron-ciraldo/news-story/72c518a0f1bd05f52411c41fdd139c16?amp&nk=acfd0813fa75d9c8b2ae397a12f2992e-1694610064 Seems like my prediction is on the money...

How's it feel for you supporting the club this week. First I'll say that the me in this situation represents the fans. The fiance represents the playing group I can't help but think that if I was a really religious young man who was saving himself for marriage, yet my fiance was a pornstar...

Does anyone know where Peter Vlandys made the comment that the NRL is great gambling content. One of the people I speak to about football at work mentioned that he wanted to get Rugba Leeg introduced into the American gambling market. But can't tell me where he made this comment. I'm interested...

Last season I stopped watching football due to the fact that I can generally see within a few minutes which side the refs are favouring. I'd already cut back to mostly our games and maybe 1/2 hour of another game here or there. But seeing the level of manipulation possible with the 6 again rule...

Ok. Few questions here. 1. Was there a set of 6 where South's didn't get a 4th tackle repeat set? I don't recall seeing one. 2. Does anyone else think that JMK's sin binning came when South's pinned his arm on the ball? Personally thought it was pinned. 3. Does anyone know why every other team...

Between 11 to midnight last night Armidale was hit by a Tornado. Where I live we had severe hail and lightning. But the police knocked on my door at midnight to let my housemate know his aunty was at the station because her house was hit by debris. She was unhurt but trapped in her room until...

Anyone else get a letter saying their super fund is required to inform members the fund is under performing? I got one this week and since getting the letter I checked my balance a couple of days later and the balance has dropped by around a thousand dollars. I'd assume that a lot of people that...

I would estimate that I watch less than 10 hours of TV a week maximum. Usually a lot less. Seems like every second ad is a fucking gambling ad though. It drives me nuts seeing this much exposure to gambling. And half the ads are fucking annoying too. I don't think it's a good thing that...

Just found out Sean Lock died on the 16th of last month. Great comedian who's gone too early. RIP Sean. Thanks for the laughs.

I was just thinking to myself that it's lucky Bailey Biondo Odo isn't called Biondo Carr or Carter or Callahan. Us dogs fans have enough issues with results this year without having to be seen to be getting excited about BBC.

I'm going to start out by saying that I haven't watched more than a few minutes of SOO in a long time. Quite possibly getting up to seven or eight years now. I saw too many series decided by the discretion of the referees and really lost interest. But for those that still think highly of the...

I've been thinking recently that a huge gap has opened between the top few sides and the rest of the pack. I couldn't clearly identify when this began. But I do have a few ideas about why it's happened. Restructure of the reserve grade system To start with we have gone from a time when pretty...

I love my Fishing and Kayaking. And after searching for older fishing threads I find they're locked. So I thought I'd start a new one to talk about my new set up and maybe find out what kind of set up others have for fishing. I pretty recently bought a used Feel free lure 10 kayak which is a...

Just kind of hit me that perhaps the fact that I've sunk 8 schooners while watching my dad play a lawn bowls final isn't a brilliant look for him. Drove 5 hours to his house to dog sit for a fortnight. After the drive the beers are going down really well. Smoothest beers I've consumed this year...

I'm surprised to not see any threads on the protesters that have stormed Capitol hill in here. Maybe the mods have deleted threads already in which case this one probably won't last long either. But what are peoples thoughts on this. I haven't been on the kennel much today so I'm not sure if...

Happy birthday you old fart. You're no spring chicken anymore at 41, but like a fine wine you get better with age and less affordable. This forum wouldn't feel like the same place to me without your contributions to discussions and occasional bouts of humour. And before anybody calls me a weird...

Without knowing who is in our sights with any certainty. From our perspective I'd be getting on the phone with a team like the Panthers who have a lot of youngsters who are likely to still be on modest deals and reminding them that their success this season will surely mean that at least a few...

I've been a bit bored lately and thinking about past social gatherings and good ways to liven them up. So I was wondering what games people play among friends. I've played cards against humanity once. Really enjoyed it and just bought the Australian edition and two expansion packs. Just need a...

I've forgotten this feeling. Been a pretty poor season but I'll take this win and hope we avoid the spoon with it.

I came into this year not expecting huge things. I was pretty much expecting about a 25% winning ratio. Not quite up to expectations there. More recently with the change in coach I've come to expect we'll at least be competitive. That's why the loss this week hurts. This week we weren't even...

I know a lot of people like this new ruling in the game due to the fact that there aren't extended delays. But to me it's often leaving me questioning why in God's name was a penalty given. I'll make no secret of the fact that for a number of years I've thought referees decided games in line...

In contrast to last week our game yesterday was not characterised by brilliant defence. I'll remember the sheer number of unforced errors. In some ways I saw improvement. Our structure wasn't quite as dominated by forwards chasing the ball to within inches of the sideline. Our outside backs...

There were things tonight that I was happy about but there are also areas where we need to change. I'll start by saying that our defence has picked up right where it left off last season. Perhaps there's even been a touch of improvement. I don't recall Parra getting close to our line without a...

Don't shoot the messenger if this doesn't eventuate. But I'm hearing we've lined up a new coach. I'm not supposed to mention any names but there's a picture below.

I'll get into the 10 metre difference after this. But the ref made three huge calls that kept Melbourne in that. In no particular order. 1) The penalty try. He has every right to try to knock the ball away. He did this and 9/10 times it goes without penalty. He didn't take out a player off the...

I'm having issues with my posts being saved halfway through typing them. I use Chrome on my phone. I've tried to cover the post button with the keypad to eliminate the possibility that I' accidentally hitting post. It changed nothing. I think it may be a technical issue.

One of the things i predicted ahead of this season was that Aaron Woods would add some aggression when he didn't have to be the main workhorse like he was at the Tigpies. It seems he played a softer brand of football here so I was wrong about that. So here is my altered song. This exert is...

As the title says. They've just mentioned on nines Friday league preview. Johns will be spending some time with Marcelo Montoya that seems like it will be a good watch. It'll be on after the ads.

There has been a lot of talk about the erosion of our clubs culture this year and to an extent i think it's been happening over aboput the last 10 years. To me the best time is now to see the club get back to their roots. We built our reputation and culture by establishing a platform for young...

The name Attila the hun is pretty well known. However his unimaginative father Attila had numerous other children who he named Attila also. Attila the fun was nothing like his warmonger brother but was a great guy to take to a bar. Attila the glum was not a warmonger and much less fun to party...

I'd just like to say farewell and thanks to two of my favourite players who have played their final games for the Bulldogs. Firstly to Josh Reynolds. Over the years you've shown the ultimate competitive streak for our great club. There were years where you frustrated me with the tripping...

Short story but I think I have it. An hour after dinner I started feeling stomach pains and a temperature. Soon after it's like a scene from the exorcist. Somebody please kill me.

After a strong debut from Frawley I'm seeing a lot of calls that he'd never have been promoted if not for the suspension of Mbye. Allow me to walk you through my conspiracy theory. And the historical evidence that makes me jump to this conclusion. So before we let Hodkinson leave the club...

I saw this on my Facebook news feed and thought Mr 95% might like to read this. http://theheartysoul.com/stem-cells-cure-paralysis/

Seems like a popular Christmas gift this year was those remote control drones. I know this because Facebook is littered with people asking if anyone has seen the one they're missing. Despite knowing they seem to have a steep learning curve I'd like one. I used to own a cheap remote control...

It's a bit early to call these things without knowing who might be missing from squads through injury or other issues. But looking at rosters as they stand who would you say are the teams that may improve enough to compete in the GF. For me I think the Warriors might go all the way. Great spine...

With the rumour now going around that Lichaa is being shopped around it raises some questions for me. I've watched Lichaa for two seasons now and notice that he rarely passes early to a forward who is steaming onto the ball. Most of the time he makes a three foot run, turns and passes to a...

I give it about 15 minutes before the negativity creeps into this this thread with all the subtlety of an elephant on a pogo stick but I saw plenty if things to be happy about last night despite having thrown away a lead in the wet weather. First of all we played with some depth. Its been...

Last night I drove down to Tamworth to watch the origin legends match. While it wasn't the traditionally tough origin game it was an amusing spectacle. It's the second year running that I've gone down to watch some retired legends have a friendly clash for charity. NSW won by about 16 points...

Wuthout this being a criticise certain players thread I want you all to point out small things you'd like to see change this year. Maybe how certain players need to tweak their game, or perhaps drastic overhauls to our playing style. For me I think a few small things need to change with our...

Women these days have every right to make up their own minds about who they do and don't want to sleep with. It's been socially acceptable to have sex without being married for as long as i have lived (35 years). If you dislike women with a relaxed attitude to how many sexual partners they will...

As a single male I occasionally get these hints from one or both of my parents that I should be married now (35) and have a significant other popping out some kids. I also get the feeling they think I should actually have set myself some financial goals like owning a house etc. None of these...

I think i have a stalker. More than once i have felt like someone is watching me at night and occasionally hear noises outside that make me get up and look outside to ensure my car isn't being burgled. I've never felt like this was strange though. But today i was sitting with a book and...

I think that our backline shuffles of the last two years have not helped with continuity for our halves and we've not had an attacking fullback since 2012. Barba put in zero effort in 2013 and was worse than useless when he was on the field IMO. When he was missing we also lost our best...

Hi all. I am not sure if i should post this here but i am wondering if anyone else is getting blocked from this site for the last couple of days. I have been getting this warning every time i open a thread or move to the next page in a thread i'm reading. For your protection, this web...

As a life long Bulldogs fan i have seen a lot of great players come and go from the club. I thought instead of discussing potential recruits we could talk about players we miss and what we think made them great. For me it will be interesting to see what people loved about the players who came...

Ok so my take on the game is this. We started poorly with some spilled ball. We needed to get off to a strong start and shot ourselves in the foot with some unforced errors in the opening stages. Nobodies fault but our own there. We defended well throughout the first half though. At 6-14...

Can you feel the anticipation Brothers and Sisters of the Blue and White Army. Today I am no normal man, I feel invincible for I am BULLDOG. My muscles are pumping, they're jittery today with nerves and anticipation. If my blood could help today i would gladly give all i have to spare. I am...

http://sun-gazing.com/you-will-never-think-of-coke-the-same-way-after-watching-this-video-3/ Ok so if you watched the advert and seen their complete honesty about what Coke is doing to people, you might wonder why they would do that. If you ask me {conspiracy alert} it is their way of jumping...

I don't want to deny people the right to vent when we lose but lately i have trouble reading some of the negative shite that 'supporters' dish up on here. People even have a cry when 'nuffies' defend a player in threads they created to ask for their sacking. Heres the thing. We've had a great...

I'm not an active eavesdropper but thought i would share some conversations i overheard this morning while i was out and about that amused me a lot. first conversation was happening between an older lady working at a bargain store and a young guy that looked about 15-16yo who i've never seen...

Sad to say he lost his battle with brain cancer yesterday. I met him once with my dad who knew him reasonably well. Nice bloke who had a load of talent. Thank you for the music Doc and may you rest in peace.

I'm wondering what peoples opinions are about reporting someone from work for harrassment. So this is the background of the situation. He started the job about 3 months back and on day one had been telling poeple i am gay without even having ever spoken to me. I am definitely not and have...

I am bored with refreshing the fullback thread right now so i'd like to get a little game of reshuffle this team going. What i think would be interesting is if someone nominates someone from our expected starting line up as an injury or suspended player, and everyone does a reshuffle from our...

I just heard a song on the radio which repeatedly sang "you're gonna miss me when i'm gone". I turned it off halfway through and it turns out the song is not only annoying but i lie. I don't miss it/her voice at all. Most songs which are repetitive annoy me. Anything by Kesha, jason deroulo...

I think it's interesting to see who people regard as the best coaches in the NRL or Super league if they rate a coach over there. I thought i'd create a thread about it. I'd like to hear who people rate as their top 3 coaches and a little bit about why. My three Des Hasler He's been right...

Hi all I've always loved the original Boondock saints movie. Today i thought it should have been something they would have made a sequel to. A google search confirmed that a second movie was released in 2009. If anyone has seen the second movie i'd love to know if it's as good as the first? If...

It's time to build a new bandwagon Bulldogs fans. I don't know how much the mood of the fans flows off into the way the players feel but if i were a dogs player right now i would be disgusted with the lack of belief my fans had in me and my team mates. It seems that at some stage over the...

Since we're getting to the business end of the season and we're playing with pretty much our best roster at the moment we've all had time to see where we think the team can or must improve. I think the last 6 games have shown that our backs really lack the confidence to attack a high ball...

Hi all. I spoke to a friend about a program he watched but can't recall the name of. I was wondering if anyone could help me track it down as it sounds very amusing. Basically the program was a social experiment to display how the characteristics of animal social structure are displayed by...

With the side only an Inu away from being back at full strength i'm going to make the not so bold prediction that in two weeks the commentators will be talking about us being strong contenders for this years premiership. With both James Graham and Sam Kasiano due to return we will start seeing...

I was wondering if anyone else noticed the boys wearing vampire teeth mouthguards last night. It seems a bit unusual to see the whole team wearing identical mouthguards so i was wondering if that was something for camp quality?

Oh my **cking god. I wore a Bulldogs jersey out drinking tonight and suddenly i want to kill Beau Ryan because of his doggiiieeeeessss thing. FFS i was trying to take a piss and someone starts doing that crap behind me while i'm spraying the porcelain. disturbing. Great to know we have a few...

**** yeah. Snow on the highway today means i can't get to work. If anyone needs me I'll be dancing to music only I can hear.

Woot woot. My nephew won 2 origin 3 tickets and 2 nights accommodation in Brisbane so i'll be heading up to watch the decider with him. I can't believe his luck (and mine by association). I owe my nephew big time for this. There are plenty of others he could have invited instead. I haven't...

A lot has been said about the negative aspects of friday afternoons game but i thought there were a few positives to be taken out of the game. I've been pretty critical of Keating at times but i thought his kicking game was pretty good last night and showed massive improvements to last years...

And the death-riding begins. It seems like Bulldogs fans are such a hard bunch to please. We are currently 5 games into the season with 1 loss to our tally. Even if three of those wins were a bit scrappy we still have an 80% success rate. Considering that we are adapting to a new coaching style...

It's only the first week of the season but i don't think it's too early to start nominating the players who can put down the easiest of passes at the worst times. The first nomination goes out to a popular favorite for this award in Manu Vatuvei. His bombed try a few minutes ago tells me...

Right now. Thought i'd mention it for those who didn't know. Anyway they've interviewed some of the side, they told Graham he'd made 43 tackles he said it had been a poor start but a pretty ood game afterwards. He didn't seem too pleased with it. They asked Barba about his trouble under the...

1. Ben Barba improving his all round game. He's already among the most dangerous attacking players in the game. If he can improve his defense and kick defense theres no reason why he couldn't be the best fullback in the game witin a season or two. 2. Our ball playing forwards. Pritchard and...

I'm feeling like blowing up the tv at the moment after having to watch Mel B with her baby talk AGAIN. FFS if i hear her say boomba da boomba or doink doink doink again i'll pay someone to assasinate her. However this isn't the only ad i hate with a passion, i tend to hate that old man from...

I remember reading one of these two articles before Christmas and thought i'd post them. It would be interesting to know where each of our players need to improve in regards to Hasler and Badels CVR. Stat system that won Manly comp December 16, 2011 12:00AM View as multiple pages AT the...

Usually it takes about 2 months of the off season for me to be pining for football and wishing kickoff was closer. With all this hype and hysteria surrounding Haslers signing coupled with a few player signings etc this off season seems to be flying by. Theres been plenty of excitement to keep...

Ennis announced as captain Title says it all. Very pleased to see him selected as captain. Very good competitor. Will ask for the best of his teammates and will deliver it himself. I've always thought he was the most eager for quickly playing it on after penalties (obviously essential as the...

I know that a lot of people who post on here already know each other as members of the Army or whatever but i was thinking that if someone made Kennel badges we could attach to our clothes on game day it might help a few people to facilitate meeting other Kennel members randomly at games. I've...

It's that time of year again when for one day we admit that Australia is just too nice a place to be spending the day at work. I hear the clicking of lighters as men round the nation spark up Bbq's, the clunking as ice bags are emptied into vacant sinks or eskies and that slapping sound as we...

I'm watching this years Australias greatest athlete at the moment and just thought i'd mention this. FFS Wendell Sailor is a shameless self promoter. He came a distant last in the ironman event but was still talking himself up after it. They had to climb a telegraph pole and he was going on...

If you could combine two ordinary heroes into a team that could defeat any odds who would they be and why would they make such a strong team. I'll give a couple of teams to start out. These are only examples to get the discussion rolling. Rambo & Mcgyver. Possible team names "Twin Blades" or...

(Charging) Found myself a new toy at **** Smiths yesterday. $35 for a remote control helicopter. I've had various cheap remote controls toys in my time and this one represents good value for money. It's called the micro Twister Pro, comes in blue red and green. You can control 3 helicopters in...

Anyone played it? Reading some reviews. I've been buying it since the third edition and think this looks like it could be the most interesting in terms of game play by the end of games. City states allow you to keep independent single cities producing within the world which you can conquer...

Ok the title says it all. I couldn't find a thread like this so i thought i'd start one. I'm bored with the continued suggest a winger/fullback/forward pack threads so lets be creative. You have these great players, how would you utilise them. I'll start. The Rolling Castle Knowing that...

Ok with all the discussions about our forwards going on lately i thought i'd get another top 17 thread going with discussion about our areas of weakness. Heres my prediction for the top 17 and my preferred backups for these positions. My top 17 1 Patten- Crisp or Barba (depending on...

With so much talent coming into the side next year and a new coach to guide them we will definitely see a big change in playing styles. I thought i'd compare what i thought might be the new tactics we use to best utilize the sides talents with others. My Game plan. 1-20 mins- Batter them...

Why do i manage to work for three months without getting sick then come down with a doozy of a cold when i get my first weekend of more than two days in ages. The stuffed nose has denied me from more than short periods of sleep since saturday night and i have the horrible feeling that i will...

After the last set of work holidays where one staff member left to go to Uni and two others who worked in the dining hall were canned because they are lazy Mofos, i have had to train 5 staff members at the kitchen i work in & only two of them are still left. Until i got given the responsibility...

FFS I just saw a new SMS company that you use to text your name & your lovers name to see if they are ****ing cheating on you. This is morally repulsive of them to do. As if some people don't have enough trouble with stupid accusations without these stupid things to wrongly confirm their...

Sufficient time has now passed from christmas and the assorted holiday period that i should be back at my excercise regime. I was swimming 6 days a week before Christmas and had started riding the old bike a few days a week too. I was also doing the occasional weights session on my weights bench...

I have come to realise lately that the patience i used to have with people has just disappeared from my life. I don't know when it happened exactly but I am no longer able to just tolerate peoples crap. I had a female mate ring me yesterday when i was due to go and meet my family in ten...

It's on at the moment. Some of the songs are great but others just make me think we as aussies are just HUGE BOGANS. Some cringe worthy stuff there. Thats all.

Give me the ****s. If i see another add telling me to check my love compatability by sending both names for them to do a calculation about i will blow up their building. *Hypothetical conversation follows* "Well i thought i loved her and we were going to get married after we spent the last three...

I went out and had garlic chicken for lunch yesterday and must have had garlic breath and last night i went to carols by candle light with my sister, nephews and niece Ashleigh. When i got their i gave Ashleigh a kiss and a hug and she grabs my head and smells my breath and says "Mmmmm your...

I'm bored and thought i'd see which sides people think will be most improved for the coming season and why they think they will go better.
