He wants to sue for millions because training was too hard. Give me a break what a joker

Harry Hayes has 1st Grade written all over him

Ciraldo can coach. I'm very confident this club is heading in the right direction. Stick solid

The same was happening with Sam Hughes and now he is getting bigger minutes and contributing much more. I'm hoping the same will happen with Patolo soon. If I was a starting prop and contributing 2 runs I'd be embarrassed

The name of the thread is wrong. Gus did not say Kikau is out. He said there is nothing structurally wrong with the elbow, he hopes that Kikau will play but if he is out it will only be for one week.

Tracey >>>>>>> Taaffe When Fox returns there is no way Tracey misses out

This is not new though. It seems it is somehow acceptable for our bench props like Sam Hughes to make 3-4 hitups and it’s somehow job done. Same with Patolo before him. Any prop in first grade should be aiming to punch out 10 hitups and 100m a game. Otherwise, what’s the bloody point??

I would like to know why Sam Hughes, in a game where we lost a prop in the first moments, had 2 hitups in the match? How is that acceptable?

They did. They seem to be a strong defensive team which is v rare in Flegg too.

It feels like our club is cursed sometimes. 2 great young players whose careers are threatened by injury. Fingers crossed for both Issac and Karl

They sure do have our junior teams firing. Only a matter of time until it filters through to the top grade

They are red hot nobodies at the moment. Got smashed in their last trial. Proof will be in the pudding.

The try scored by Jonathan Sua showed how to unlock the winger. If our halves take it deep into the line at speed and provide clean crisp ball to dangerous wide players like Papalii then Addo-Carr will be scoring tries Willy Nilly.

I saw a Flegg game where Sam Hughes and Jack Todd were the props and completely dominated the game. I remember thinking that i had seen our future starting props and I think I shall stick to that prediction after tonight’s match.

We got absolutely smashed in NSW cup? Is this correct?

I'm sure these situations vary case to case but Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad had similar surgery in 2021. Was out for only 3-4 months and is absolutely killing it now. There's hope.

What exactly does "ante the heat" mean?

Works for me. As a Sunday worker last season was a bloody nightmare.

What the hell has this dopey manager been doing for the last 3 months? The writing has been on the wall for a long time.

Mitch Woods and Alex Conti are schoolmates from my old school St Pats Strathfield. Hopefully they can form a killer combo that comes through the grades together

I was hugely impressed with them. Even more so when we consider that there were several big names missing from that team. Player of the year Lachlan Vale, Isaac Matalavea-Booth, Tim Johnannssen, Michael Gabrael and Jordan Samrani are just some of the young players also eligible for flegg.

Watch this clip to see how a great player competes on every play. Terry Lamb is taken down after passing the ball in his own half. Play proceeds further upfield at break neck speed and a final pass is required from Stevie Mortimer to complete the try. Have a guess who turns up on his shoulder...

His defence is so damn lazy

Injured ankle early in the season and is out for the whole year. Still here next year, Gus thinks he could be anything.

We have the shittest forward pack in the game. If we can pick up some "average" first grade forwards, then that's a win

Coaches polish the final 5%. 95% is talent.

I can understand they want a few games to assess them against more experienced players but for how long will this go on? They have a genuine chance of winning the Jersey Flegg comp this year and if I was a young player I would not want that chance jeopardised either.

What the heck are they doing with the Jersey Flegg team? It's all over the place??

I'd rather die

I see a lot of potential in him. Like most of our blokes he just needs to keep improving. There's a gem in there somewhere.

Supporting this club has become one giant shit show. Nightmare

I just love it when these underrated players are properly recognised. Guys like Max King and Jacob Kiraz earn every dollar every single week. So impressive. Jacob Preston is well on his way to the same status for me.

He’s unbelievable. Love him. Wouldn’t swap him for any other winger in the game!

I'm really excited about this kid. I love a back rower who can run good lines, bust the defence and find the try line. A very astute pick up!

It’s not a fluke. Some players just lurch from one disaster to the next the same way certain people do in life. Thompson and TPJ are a complete disaster zone

Which naughty person made an audio recording at the AGM!

I'm sure some people are happy but why the hell have we got so many Sunday games? Why can't they distribute the different days of the week fairly evenly so that people with different life circumstances are not screwed over?

SBW was not a good clubman for us but he is an outstanding example of a professional athlete and someone that other athletes hold in high regard so if we can use him to our favour then lets go.

Matt Ryan is my choice

Soni Luke will be 27 by the start of next year. Whats he been doing all this time?

Is Ace alive? Jason David is the best known supporter now. But he's a good genuine guy

It didn't take long for a very astute organisation to realise Flanagan was not going to make it. Surely we have also seen enough to make the same decision? We must find a 7 or next year may not be any better at all.

Oh yea he should have announced to the media that he was offering a 5 year deal then been publicly humiliated like the Tigers. That’s what he should have done

https://www.nswrl.com.au/news/2022/07/10/nsw-cup-highlights--mounties-v-jets---round-17/ This was the game. 2 crashover tries and one length of the field

Sharks are not happy to lose him. This is a big coup for Gus. The potential is huge. Pele scored 3 tries in one game earlier this season including one that was almost the length of the field.

Schoupp is doing quite well. In particular the hard metres he is making are very valuable. Of course there are a lot of improvements still required. What an opportunity he has next year to secure his place on a left hand side which will feature Burton, Kikau and Add-Carr. Not to mention Reed...

Honestly Gus Gould needs to put his mind to how he can change this plan. It won't be a money issue because super league clubs can't offer big $$.

Pele and Davey both outstanding signings. LOL at those doubting these signings. Uncle Gus knows how to sniff out a bargain I assure you.

Im not convinced its true but would actually be a fantastic signing.

You are not alone in resisting this I assure you. Many decent family people with common sense would agree. Make no mistake these are exactly the type of things the "pride" movement aim to implement and a part of their strategy is to make it shameful for good people to resist the way these manly...

"Pride" is not just about saying gay is ok. It's an entire movement with a very large platform of issues to push. They are trying to abolish gender. They now have the VP of the USA announcing her pronouns. They encourage major surgery for minors with gender identity issues. They also put forward...

Love this kid. Bulldog for life I hope

Bloody lawyers they're all the same pedantic pricks

I thought pride was one of the seven deadly sins?

Forgive me if I’m wrong but he really should be back after 2 weeks. The plantaris tendon is not necessary for normal function. 10% of humans don’t even have one and it’s often removed to be used as a donor tendon in surgical repairs. It’s scary when it happens because he would have heard a pop...

He's a Berala Bears junior. Another one the previous fools allowed to escape.

Everyone should relax. We are in the box seat to re-sign him. We can offer something no other club can at this stage and that's an increase in his 2023 salary if he re-signs. Stay calm

We have a very good one in reserves. Sam Hughes. Massive man. Big potential

He has definitely got a freak boot. Going to be a massive weapon for us. We could never match the money available in the NFL but money aint everything

Calm the farm

If we could have brought him on for the last 30 against the Tigpies it would have been very interesting to see how he would have gone. Once physical dominance has been asserted he may be more effective. However that's not what we are paying him for and he has performed well short of the price...

It's equally bad to write kids off as it is to talk them up. Right now he's a kid with potential.

Possible subluxed shoulder. Severity to be determined by MRI. Fingers crossed

If it was between Bulldogs and Tigpies for Ciraldo then surely yesterday sealed the deal :) Happy to stick with Potter tho. Leave it up to Uncle Gus

Armadillo will only get better and better. He was thrown into a rubbish 1st grade side then moved from position to position. Finally a coach has done the right thing by him and found his natural position and that's Mick Potter.

Schoupp is really doing excellent. Both our centres are 20. So much improvement in both but very much holding their own

7? Bailey Hayward is doing well in reserves

3. Burton 2. Fox 1. King

He’s a million dollar a year player. Table it

This is absolutely correct. Our exit strategy is ridiculous and we just keep doing the same failed things every week. There are many other equally stupid things we do for example, tap restarts involve 2 long passes before moving forwards just like under 8s. Dumbest team on the planet

This club is cursed. Im sure of it.

Creedence had some very nice touches. There's something I really like about him

Jesus Christ how dumb are these journos? No individual runs any large organisation. Responsibilities are shared and certain checks and balances are built into the system. In this case it seems the GM of football has the overarching responsibility for player welfare. I would say its a smart way...

I was thinking this also but Gus Gould did say that Tui will be seeking a clearance to return to the field soon so its not as clearcut as initially thought.

JMoz always a Bulldog. Life member of the football club and one of the best centres to ever pull on the blue and white.

In the blink of an eye

Such a beautiful family. There's a documentary on 7plus about this tragedy. Highly recommended

Very accurate report on all counts

Jacob Kiraz anyone? Right winger in very good form in reserves

The obvious replacement for Okunbor. Right winger playing very well

I agree with this. Wakeham was damn near perfect particularly in the 2nd half and Flanagan grew in confidence in the 2nd half and did some decent things.

In 2 games I don’t think Averillo has been as good as we need but Wakeham had an outstanding game today in reserve grade so could get interesting

Was a bit of a hot and cold effort but we will take the win with a few players out. They really missed Sam Hughes up front. The young fullback Papalii has some real zip about him. The match levelling try he scored was awesome and came off the back of an amazing 50+ metre run from Jack Todd and a...

JAC... love him but not the smartest if he didn't realise he should consult the club before appearing in a video with all those references and symbols of the Bulldogs

I like what I saw from Burns. Genuine centre with skill. Good early signs the defensive partnership with Okunbor could work too. Lets see what happens but positive start.

The first 30 mins was scary because it seemed so familiar and terrible but then we got into the grind and I liked the grit I saw. In the end I think the boys set a standard for fight and determination that can define the season now.

NO

This kid is a Moneyball special. Him and Burns look like bargain buys with quality.

Seen both the flegg trial and todays game and both Sam Hughes and Jack Todd have been absolutely outstanding both times. Really excited by this pair.

I would have found this strange in the past but with the current generation who basically post naked pictures of themselves on Instagram and Tik Tok every day its kind of refreshing to be honest.

This is the sort of crap I am really sick of. I don't want to hear more talk about how someone is gonna do this or that. Actions NOT words are all that matters now if we want to get this club out of the shithole.

Not a brain cell to be found in sight

Happy to go out and get smashed on the field every week in a sport where players are regularly maimed for life and occasionally die but afraid to have a vaccine with an outstanding safety profile. Makes sense.

Could it be Burns and Patolo? That’s my feeling

Was not supposed to play first grade this year yet didn't look out of place at all. Good kid.

It’s not true. Some moron mis interpreted a tweet from Gus Gould who said nothing of the sort.

Halligan is the goat. Changed the standard for ever, took them from anywhere and kicked the one that really counted from the sideline v Parra in 1998.

It was the change of speed for me. Top gear in an instant. Thats rugby league speed. Also very confident for a 19 year old.

Why haven't they announced the results? I got my covid test result in 3 hours.

I think JMK may look a hell of a lot better behind a better forward pack. He's good enough to be 1 of our 2 hookers but of course if we can sign an elite 9 then go for it.
