I understand you were referring to Mautalino, not Montoyia who could not be described as nasty

Origin takes the best players out of the teams that play resulting in mis-matches or ordinary results. Origin should be played separately from the NRL competition with extra rounds played at the end of season.

OK

Name one

Just shows the unfairness of origin - okay for teams without origin players

He passed to Farnworth as the latter had a record of scoring in each game in a sequence of 7. Not particularly clever and not in the spirit of the game.

Patience is a virtue

The Warriors made up for his loss by recruiting Fisher-Harris. Pity they lost Barnett but they have some young ones coming through.

Despise him is a very nasty comment - he played well doing his job on the left wing.

He realized his time was up in the dressing room. Have you seen a sadder sight?

Don't rub it in lest it comes back to bite you.

Monty did no wrong.

No-just lost for words. Seriously, I wish to close this topic and go on to better and brighter things

I will do my best to stay off topic in future

I would be more worried about Galvin when the opposition target him. In saying that, I wish him no harm

Over-crowded

A coincidence that two of them were Sexton and Mahoney?

Happy to oblige but I would prefer to talk league, the game I have played and followed since I was a youngster many moons ago

Hi Bullfrog2, I would like to tone it down but people keep inviting me to respond. Should I ignore future comments and concentrate on football?

I hope so too but don't over-do it lest he gets a swelled head. As for my parents, they brought us up (five boys) in a happy family, not given to hugs to express our feelings.

Does Gus ego affect the way he operates? It seems to me that he bends the rules to suit himself.

Just a throw-away reply not meant to cause offence to Lauklan.

I can't understand how he could be bullied with Benji in charge or is it coming from above?

May be taken out of context?

My issue (as repeated) is the recruitment of a possible star (if we believe Gus) at the expense of two players who have contributed to the Bulldogs' success so far this season as well as the negative impact on the 2025 NRL competition

Well I've said my piece and will now let it rest.

Now, now boys - sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me

Enough Benno, I beg to differ but you will not be convinced by me or me by you. It will be very interesting how this plays out. The game at Parra should draw a massive crowd with viewer ratings through the roof (so it's not all bad)!

Hugs - he sounds like a spoilt child

Gus does have a vested interest in Gus and should not be on channel 9. I wonder what the other clubs think of his involvement here. Are there other players he is manipulating or will manipulate in this way?) No one in the NRL hierarchy appears to be able or willing to stand up to him and he is...

Did Galvin have too many?

How does he show animosity towards the Bulldogs? Are you being over-sensitive?

Their reputation maybe as a non-bullying club?

Could you quote me some evidence as I don't get to see any Sydney papers?

It is obvious he is only using the bullying excuse to enable him to justify his transfer.

No I cannot accept that accolade. What exactly has he said or written that has raised the ire of Bulldog fans?

Yes bullfrog2 you have found me out. I come from the other side of the ditch and am a passionate Warriors fan. I joined up on this site to follow Marcel Montoya's progress and was pleased that he was well accepted at the club. He was always held in high regard by the Warriors and I for one was...

How could playing for the Tigers be detrimental to his mental health? Benji for one would not tolerate it. There didn't appear to be a problem on the field and hardly likely off the field. I do respect Paul Crawley - he comes across as a journalist with integrity and an attitude of fair play...

Bullying does not sit well with me. What is your point about the non-disparagement agreement? Is this the Tiger's way of preventing Galvin from continuing on with his bullying claim (though I didn't at the time understand why he could have accused the Tiger's of that). It is all very confusing...

I do live in an ideal world but where would you be without ideals? Nice chatting with you

Thanks Bullfrog2 for your considered reply. I must admit you are right that players leave their clubs during a season but this is usually on compassionate grounds with the consent of the club (an example is Dylan Walker who left the Warriors to join the Eels) but I cannot accept Galvin's wanting...

That's OK. Easy mistake to make as we think alike.

Granted but only potentially a top class player. He is not a Stephen Crighton, Latrell Mitchell, Cameron Munster or Nathan Cleary but only time will tell. I hope he fits into the team and adds value to it this season.

That's very different. Pricey was not presented with his GF medal because of an injury (seems unfair). Mahoney and Sexton have no chance. Consultation is different to enforcement and Gus would be good at the latter. It might once Galvin comes on board You can applaud individuals but team...

I respect his integrity as I do the other panelists on NRL 360. Buzz is the butt of jokes but I agree with much of what he says.

Call me naive Sarge but I feel for: 1. The two players of the existing squad who, after busting their guts helping their team get to the top of the ladder are replaced by a young inexperienced, unproven player. Imagine their dismay, if the bulldogs are presented with their GF medals and all the...

Panthers had four of their best players out through Origin while Knights had only one. This is not fair to team or fans and makes for lower standards. Surely we can suspend the comp when Origin is played?

Turbo is rested this week with a corked thigh. He is always being injured. Shame to see a classy player frequently not available as Manly struggle when he isn't 100% fit

Isn't that the purpose of the salary cap? - to distribute the best players and hold them to contracts? It does not look good if clubs can replace players during a season. Or am I just being naive?

I think Crawley has no particular beef with the Dogs. He just wants all clubs to stick to their roster for the season and stay under the salary cap.

They deserve to celebrate after a poor start to the season. They will win more than they lose from now on. You have to praise Ryles for the way he has turned this team around.

Is it not possible for Xerri to pass to Monty? The latter will be losing interest soon but for Kikau.

Wasn't Turbo's fault that eagle's defence was pathetic.

He made a couple of try saving ones against the Broncos

Gutho, Turbo, Latrell, Teddy

Might be something to with his size. His taking of the high ball and attacking skills more than make up this supposed weakness.

That was an awe-inspiring performance last night. The return of Donahue after breaking his nose was courageous. I think the Dolphins are the dark horses of the comp particularly with their classy halves their speed out wide plus Hammer. The dogs were never in it without the leadership of...

Away games obviously

Only just lasting after putting up decent leads in the first half. Their strength is in their forward pack but will be tested this week without Barnett (origin) and Fisher Harris (suspended)

Wrong about warriors - only two points behind now

You should add Webster to that list

I agree that the competition should be suspended during each Origin. To weaken teams because their best players are selected for Origin is unfair to both clubs and fans. It also benefits teams who have less eligible players from NZ and Great Britain.

There was some thought given to restricting the yardage of bringing the ball back at the kick-off. These incidents can only reinforce the change as concern about concussion increases

I don't put either Titans or knights anywhere near the Roosters

You're dreaming Jordy

The pace of the game and amount of ball in play has evened out the competition so that it is the survival of the fittest. I particularly liked the last round where there were a number of teams (including the dogs) who overcame major half time deficits. It was exciting to watch no matter their...

Refer this to Montoya

Has had a number of offers but has re-signed with the Warriors for a further two years

Expansion is essential if the NRL wants to spread its appeal, securing financial benefits as a result. Players may be available from union (particularly South Africa). Other sources of players will be from New Zealand and Polynesia while there will be demand for fringe and players on development...

Barnett should be re-selected for NSW while other warriors are kiwis and not eligible. Metcalf is playing out of his skin but would not be chosen ahead of Cleary and Moses. Capewell has played for the maroons so is in contention again.

except the Broncos!

Serial killer?

You have a unique way of showing it. Each to his own I suppose

and on the up. Need to be at best

Haven't you heard "Love Conquers All"

Courtesy of the wahs

Funny enough, he wasn't that aggressive at the Warriors. Then the Warriors aren't that aggressive either

He appears to have cleaned up his act at the Warriors. Good for him and best wishes Monty

I agree. Warriors' loss, Bulldogs' gain
