Official Round 4 - Bulldogs vs Dragons - Discussion Thread

[Jabba the Mutt]

Hard to believe our quality team of those days couldnt score a point. Must have been a dour struggle

I can't recall the match personally but by the looks of things it was a rainy day shocker - 35 scrums, 20 penalties and not a single point!

March 28 1982 we drew against newtown 0-0

That was the year Newtown made the GF but got beaten by Parramatta.

It was a pretty decent side they fielded that day and it contained former Dogs Peter Kelly and Michael Ryan and yet to be Bulldogs in Mick Pitman (joined us the next year)and Phil Sigsworth( 1985) .
One year after he joined us Sigsworth was sent of in the 86 GF..from memory the only player who has.That was the day no one scored a try and pretty sure that the result went the way of the Eels due to the sympathy vote for the retirement of Cronin and Price..

I was not at the game due to it being at Henson Park but listened to the call on the radio.

‘81 was Jets/Eels GF
‘82 and ‘83 were Beagles/Eels with the slimy Eels winning all 3 until we knocked them off their perch in ‘84...

He's 10 metres in from touch and 40 yards out. Brentnall moves in. If it's long enough, if it's straight enough *a hush comes over the crowd* And he's missed it says a shocked Frank Hyde. The score remains nil nil.

Which fuckwit at the club let Baa into the ground to meet and greet with all the players.

Club looking at fines and players will need to be tested now for covid.

Whoever is responsible should be sacked on the spot for putting players abd the comp at risk.

Shame shame shame.

It’s amateur hour at Belmore these days. There’s way too many fuck ups around the place over the last few years to put it down to bad luck.

 

[Alexander the Great]

Can you imagine if we are not allowed to play and what it does for the comp... all we need is one player to test positive and they will throw us under the bus.

The worst part is we invited the media into the ground. You would think the players and coaches would have been made aware that they need to be on their best behaviour and no fuck ups.

Where did you hear that?

It was on Nine news they had clear footage of Baa shaking hands with a bunch of players.

They put their hand out wanting fans to donate money to the club and not ask for refunds on memberships because they say money is tight. The least they could do is keep their nose clean and use that money for something productive not giving it to the NRL.

 

[Alexander the Great]

We will be getting fined. The club has been notified apparently....

Watch this space.

So the every dogs player will get tested and Teddy (who has a fever) and the whole roosters team haven't been tested despite them being in close contact with one another? Seriously what a farce.

I’m not sure if every Dogs player will be tested but they only have themselves to blame if anything comes of it. Tedesco only had a raised temp and they left him in Sydney. I guess he will get a test and then if he’s positive the shit will hit the fan.

Dude, For all we know, teddy may have infected at least his whole team as well as the broncos and souths. This virus has a 2 week incubation period.

Thats the absolute worst case scenario but there’s been less then 5 people a day catching it in the whole of NSW For the last 3 weeks so the chances of him having it are tiny.

 

[Alexander the Great]

I think the point here is dont allow the media into HQ is you are not running a tight ship.

The media hate us. Stop giving them free shots at us.

Sharpen up and pull your fucking heads in.

 

[Alexander the Great]

If this was the case you could imagine it was by accident. Not because he was going around shaking people's hands who didn't have the all clear to be around the players/coaches

[BMOC]

Our only chance to actually gain some momentum. The dragons are a mess at the moment. Meanwhile we have Foran back and a pumped up averillo. Go dogs. Don’t blow your chance

 

[Squash the Berries!]

Holland! That would be a disaster. He really would be asking to get fired if he started Holland over Averillo.

Britt can't start again after last week. RFM or Renouf should start for him. Although it wouldn't surprise me to see Pay start Chris Smith instead.

I don't know about starting but I actually like the look of him, has an offload in me, like his old man, just needs time to develop his all round game.
