From recollection the game v Souths Ciro shuffled the bench and Hipoi went to 18th man. He had been playing really well the last several weeks before that. Yes Ciro wants Turpin to play the Mann type role but he's not good enough. All those you mentioned should be selected before Turpin.

Surely he won't get selected in FG again. I guess we'll find out at 4.00pm tomorrow!

Turpin was absolutely awful in our game against Dolphins

Cheers!

Yes Burton to centre. What side did he play when he won Dally M centre? Can't remember.

Easy answer. Coach Daley (Raiders interests) and selector Bellamy (Storm interests) did it deliberately to f*ck Dogs up. As you alluded to, it makes no sense to pick a wing as 18th man. It's not even like Kiraz gets to play for NSW either.

Agree with that. Have also put game as being Dogs v Dargons in my diary

Cheers - will check the interview out. Graham loved the Dogs when he was playing for us and still loves them to this day. The British Bulldog.

Funny you should mention those 2 players. I was talking Dogs with my sister and said how JJ slogged his guts out week after week through the last stage of his career with not the greatest team around him + shit coach. He pulled the pin a year early and deserved a better finish. As to Graham, I...

Yeah, I miss Folkesy. Probably like a bunch of others on here, I went out to that service for him at Belmore. Among others, all the 2004 team was there. They had a bunch of videos of Folkesy on the big screen + speeches etc. It was a very emotional experience. I felt pretty fkn sad actually.

What you say is true re the Dogs v other NRL teams. A few weeks ago, there was an article about which was the best supported team in Sydney. It wasn't just talking about NRL as they referenced the Dogs crowd and membership versus WS Giants and the Swans (who are actually just a South Melbourne...

Agree 100% BOM says Thursday mostly fine. Slight chance of shower along the coastal fringe. Fingers crossed no rain at Parramatta!

Isn't that a residue from before (ie when he was supposed to come back but he came back early). NRL casualty ward says back Round 17. That is the coming round ie Panthers v Dogs

Clever !

Also Martin

Klein cheating worse than Sutton tonight. And I never thought anyone could cheat worse than Sutton. Penalties 7-0 and would have been 8-0 except NSW successfully challenged. Also the "knock on" he ruled against King - he took the ball cleanly

Also the great Nick Kouparitsas

Yes - maybe better balance that way. Just no more Turpin (ever) or Taffe (pretty much ever)

Looks about right. I would start Mann, Hayward on bench.

We can't afford to have such mediocrity as Turpin in our squad. Not everyone can be a star, but it really sh*t me seeing Hopoi as the 18th man before the game after originally being in the 17. He has been very good the last several weeks. So Ciraldo put Taffe - an outside back - in place of a...

Turpin was terrible last night - should never play first grade for Dogs again. Hopefully 2025 is the final year of his contract with us

He was terrible last night Missed tackles, penalties, sin bin etc Hopefully he isn't picked in first grade again

Turpin the Turnstile

Agreed wendog33 it's nothing unusual. All this hysteria and media sh*t is happening because the Dogs are going so well. There was another post on here about how Brandon Smith has signed with Souths effective immediately (ie mid season signing). I didn't even know it happened until I read the...

We must bring Hughes onto the bench to replace Morrin - firstly for go forward and size. Secondly, if we do, it will be a bench of Haywood, Hayes, Hopoi and Hughes. All 4 surnames starting with "H" - that could be the first time in history. I rest my case.

Thanks T. Love the Hotel California reference.

Yeah - Jackson Brown is a fabulous musician. I haven't checked but I'm pretty sure my wife and I saw him across three tours. Full band at whatever the concert venue at Olympic Park was called at the time. Then full band at State Theatre then the solo shows at the State Theatre. I read...

Thanks for this Cujo. The Running on Empty album certainly is a materpiece. Your post prompted me to go and listen to it - haven't done that for a while. Amazing album. My wife and I went to see Jackson Browne play some solo shows at the State Theatre about 12 years ago. He did several of...

I believe this is a reference to the lyrics of "Cocaine" by the great Jackson Browne. Definitely a blast from the past!

Dear Kennelers, I had some spare time this afternoon and prepared this table from information available on the NRL website. It just confirmed my fears and I wish I didn't do it - it is worse than I imagined. I have presumed that Josh Curran and Kurt Donoghoe will accept $3000 and $1000 fines...

Dolphins or Warriors?

Don't know if you watched the Dolphins v Warriors game this arvo. Dolphins were awful. Warriors not that much better either

They have been loading a lot of our players up with a string of offences. Come the end of the season and finals time, the NRL can make sure of some more charges so other players can cop the same bullsh*t Preston did. 3 weeks suspension for something which wasn't a 3 week offence. Made worse...

Who gives a f*ck about the whinging in-bred losers? Take King's try off us, we still win by six. The cold reality for Canberra is that once their capitulation in the second half started, they were never going to win. They only looked any good when they had all the possession and six agains...

Ennis is really sucking Canberra off and putting shit on us. It's fucking unbearable to listen to - he gets so excited when Canberra do something and sounds depressed when we get a penalty etc. Asshole that he is.

Looked bad but one man short made it worse

Walsh will chip the nail polish on one of his beautiful fingernails against Bulldogs and will have to go off injured.

Yes, it's a bad day when the Eels win. Worse still, if Dolphins lose (which is likely) Eels won't even be last. Very disappointing.

Great Avatar of Xerri you have. Presuming that's after try #2 versus the Sharts on Saturday night. He's politely telling the in-bred morons at Shart Park to shut the f*ck up.

Sure but only about half that will be on the Rorters "official" books / in the contract. NRL will say "no problems"

DCE will sign with the Rorters for next to nothing for the love of the club (he was a Rorters supporter when he was 6 years old and it's always been a dream of his to play for them). Pretty much the same story as when Cronk signed with the Rorters. Absolutely nothing to do with money in either...

Classic - Whitey out of "Me, Myself and Irene". Milky = Whitey right? (same thing)

The question by some c*cksucker "journalist" was: "They obviously outscored you in the second half. Is that a concern?" Ciro just laughed at him and then asked "Seriously?" then said "We just won a really hard fought game with a number of players missing". It's a pretty embarrasing question...

Leon Bott making a comeback

Has anyone on here purchased / listened to the new David Gilmour album "Luck and Strange"? I'm a big fan of Pink Floyd and also have most of the solo albums by Rogers Waters and David Gilmour. I've seen a few of the film clips for "Luck and Strange" and the music sounds really bland and the...

He defended well tonight but had bad hands. Dropped 2 cold and the second led to a Manly try

I think Panthers v Storm GF Top 2 finish is a massive advantage. Home game week 1. Win, straight to week 3 then another home game against teams who are knocked around as they've played the extra game. Win that and into GF only having played twice

Yes, they had the ref on their side last week

Yeah and the more they got behind, the more the little cheating bitch DCE whined to the ref. See ya later Manly

You got your wish. Yeah, felt weird wanting Rorters to win, but after our game last week, definitely wanted Manly gone.

Yes - absolutely!

Agreed. Just shuffled the ball on and did ineffective runs. Penrith will towel them up next week.

Yes, they are imbeciles. And it's dangerous when imbeciles hold the power.

Surely we don't let Manly beat us twice in 3 weeks

Hopefully the thrashing Manly copped today will do some psychological damage (to match the psychological damage our team and fans suffered last night)

Agreed. Wasn't at home so couldn't watch the Womanly v Sharts game today. Kept checking the score on my phone and when Sharts were 20 ahead with about 15 to go, my first thought was to our home final. What you said it so true - we earnt it and it would have been absolute sh*t to get jumped by...

Definitely seems like Skelton's mind was elsewhere ie his new gig with the wooden spooners. It was really disappointing because he is a much better player than he showed against Manly

The updated team list includes Kikau ie he is playing, so permaban for Isaac

We need to beat Cowboys if for no other reason than it is no good going into finals football without momentum ie on the back of 2 losses. And yes, you are correct, if we lose and Manly lose, we finish the regular season 6th and Manly 7th so we play Manly at Accor

You're probably right. We need to win tomorrow and secure the home final at Accor.

The Friday of the game against Manly was my son's 10th birthday so I didn't see the game in person. What was really obvious from watching the game on TV was that we frequently had very little line speed in defence. When you don't have a very big forward pack standing and waiting for the...

Mostly night games I have been to at Brookvale or whatever it's called now. It's been pretty feral.

So true.

Really? Their supporters are "special" but not in a good way

You are correct on all counts and that place is well and truly a shithole. I have made the mistake several times of going to see us play there. Horrible venue, no facilities and Themly supporters are absolute bogan filth.

Firstly, I agree that it is really annoying - we are meant to guess what is happening, because there is certainly an absence of publicly available information re what is happening in Burton's particular case Secondly, re the protocols, earlier in this thread, I posted the following from my...

It's really weird isn't it? A few hours after them game, Gould came out and said Burton was fine and then almost straight away said said he wouldn't play against Cowboys. I don't really see how Gould could say so soon that Burton was out (or why he would say that) for a Category 2 unless there...

From NRL Website: Only Category 2 head injuries are eligible for appeal of the 11-day stand down. To be eligible for review, a player must have suffered less than five concussions throughout their career and none in the last three months. They must also have not previously experienced a...

Klein likes to be the centre of attention. The one that takes the all time cake was when he ruled possible penalty try to Rhys Walsh about 40m out from the line with players everywhere. Bunker ruled no obstruction and no penalty, but the f***wit Klein actually brought a possible penalty try...

Ennis ran the ball backwards to get Sharts to full time at Belmore. That is the ultimate in coward play.

Can someone on here who has Tweeter or X Box or whatever the f**k it is, and who hasn't been banned by Phil Gould, write to him and ask about challenging the grading Crichton's alleged shoulder charge (ie take an early guilty plea but seek a downgrade to Grade 1 so he can play against Manly)...

Vossy is an absolute cock. He was going on and on about the penalty kick Burton shanked and how Kiraz was offside when he picked the ball up. You didn't need to be a genius to work out that Kiraz picked the up about 2 metres in front of where Burton kicked it, so not too hard to move 2 metres...

Agree with all you said and the media has definitely not forgiven Crichton for getting his nose bitten

The image makes the point in Crichton's defence doesn't it? Crichton isn't even standing fully upright and RTS has dropped his head downwards and forward. If RTS stood up it would be Crichton's shoulder in his chest. Don't know what Crichton was supposed to do. Remember RTS is running at...

Yes - of course 4 competition points. And a final warning that if there's a third bin lid broken, we're out of the competition all together. If the mainstream media gets hold of this bin lid footage, we're in big trouble.

Maybe NRL can deduct our two competition points because we broke the bin lid. Seems like fair punishment.

Only if you consider about 30 six agains is a lot. Seemed pretty normal to me. Seriously though - I have never seen that many. It kind of f*cked the game up.

Yes. Was once a big fan of Steve Price. But he pis*ed off and left us at the worst possible time so I'll always remember him as a Warriors player not a Bulldog.

I guess that gives you a win for the day!

Broncos 16 Bulldogs 41 Full Time. Kaz - where you at? You seem awfully quiet right now.

Hope you got that I was joking. The little mascara wearing, whinging turd should have been charged and suspended for the kick to the head. Any day of the week. Cannot stand him.

He embraces the culture at the Rorters, he supported them as a child, they made him feel like family, he likes the colours red, white and blue (especially together) etc etc. Those are the kinds of things that make love happen so quickly.

Correct. Nothing to do with the money because of course, every player who signs with the Rorters does it for the love of the club and the chance to win a premiership. That's how Rorters fit everyone under the cap, because players sign with them for half their actual market value.

But it's not Reese Walsh's style. He's just not that type of bloke. And you have to feel for Reece because he wears his heart on his sleeve (the commentators said so) and because he's a Queenslander, he plays with a passion that nobody from NSW can understand. Whilst technically he kicked...

Yeah - I thought that too. You must be right because it makes no sense the other way around (ie the way they wrote it in the article is backwards)

Salmon cooked = nice It’s also good raw in sushi

To the point. You are 100% correct.

Nice one Alan. The Castaway reference will be lost on many here on The Kennel

Adam Reynolds will soon be dead from old age. He also hates the Dogs.

Hey PG. Loved your description of Smith as “the little weasel fuck”. That’s exactly what he was. Smith was one of my all time most hated players for his arrogance and all the sneaky dirty play he was allowed to get away with. When he passed El Magic’s all time highest points, I hated Smith...

So true. Defence and hard carries out of our end not Averillo's cup of tea

Also the club should be informed he scams his way into Dogs games on a children's ticket. He admitted to doing so in writing on a public forum ie The Kennel. That's fraud and theft. Complete scam artist.

Not having the greatest day so your post really helped. Gave me a good laugh. I especially liked the “crack heads” reference. Cheers.

I think it goes like this: IBS = Irritable Bowel Syndrome Salmon = weak gutted dog Therefore Salmon = IBS dog Ipso facto and all that … I think

There are examples. I remember an article about Angus Chriton. One of his fingers kept getting dislocated and I think he had some of it cut off. Yuk!

Yep. I hope he thinks it's funny because nobody else does.

Hi Wendog. I don't think the joint missing - the photo is just at an odd angle in this regard. You can see the edge of the fingernail on his index finger then separately his thumbnail. So he appears to be intact!
