Melbourne copied a lot of the Dogs DNA and Bullfrog and Anderson definitely taught them how to recruit. We then had a bunch of knuckleheads from Noad to Des who sucked our DNA right out of us. We've been running around trying to find it but we hardly know what it looks like anymore. That's why Gus has an uphill battle and was never gonna do it overnight.
Please don’t say Des
He was good.
anti Des is a myth and he was a coach not a powerbroker

Des was only in it for Des. He was only good with a good team around him, and he never, ever knew Bulldog DNA because he bled maroon and white. But hey, you're a Souffs supporter...... we wouldn't expect anything less.

The Storm did copy our identity, Chris Anderson took our blueprint and instilled it in Melbourne - they def have some Bulldog DNA
There’s been times over the years where it seems they’ve emulated certain parts of our systems. We’ve always given Melbourne a game even at our lowest which no one else has consistently done.

Considering around the time Melbourne we’re planned to come in which was in 97 super league expansion originally plus signing Chris anderson and Greg brentnall to the coaching staff a lot of there success was modeled of how the bulldogs were run plus between 2002-2005 we flogged Melbourne which was great plus they must have modelled there pay scheme off our 02 season for a bit too

Rorters took most Dogs in a short period of time after we beat them in the 04 GF .. sure most flopped for them but it was a deliberate systematic raid by them on us.. 7+ players over 2-3years..

- Mason Anasta Omeley Myles Leano NickK Gavin Lester then SBW (which was engineered years before he ended up there).. they also tried getting Thurston but Ricky Stuart refused..

Warriors have always troubled Storm too
