Well done Moses. Despite the opinions expressed by some halfwits above, the benefits of having smart, mature players that are respected publicly are obvious. And he can play. Kudos mate.

Failing to pass to Perrett and bombing that try is enough to earn a week out of the NRL to sit & reflect on his mistake. Poor play. I hope he returns to 2014 form soon. He was very good.

Spectacular.

Reni came back disguised as Tim Browne?

That's not the rule though. The rule does not say "It is legal unless the kicker's leg is planted".

I'm not worked up enough to write an essay about it. Will just leave the topic with the one word. Coins.

Parra fans threw coins 3 years ago but their fans still feel safe at games. Why? Because there isn't perpetual outrage attached to every move made by Parra fans. The NRL and the media don't go nuts unless it's Bulldogs fans. A few waterbottles get thrown by Bulldogs fans and suddenly it's the...

Winning is great but not so important that we should sign arseholes who are thugs. There's more to life (and to the club) than just winning games. Kids look up to our players. Oh you're jealous that souths & the roosters hired thugs? Piss off & support those teams then.

Just because Raelene thought James' charge wasn't justified, doesn't mean we would have won if we fought it. You all know that we could have had OJ Simpson's lawyer but would still have lost - the NRL were going to make an example of us, again. Pointless to fight the charge, lose, add 2 weeks to...

When was the last time the entire Kennel agreed on something? Is this what heaven is like? Good luck, Stanley.

Sterlo, despite having better reasons to dislike the club than most, is always pretty fair when discussing the Bulldogs. This isn't out of character for him.

Well she can't talk about the referees without costing the club $10k. What is it that you want her to say? Criticizing the refs now runs the risk of making it look like she's trying to defend the actions of halfwits throwing bottles. And $10k.

Haven't seen it. If it was in the same style as Marley's hate, it deserves the same treatment.

^This. The Kennel does a great job of destabilizing our own team.

Show some respect. Everybody knows you don't like him - fine - but you're disrespecting the club by crapping on like that toward someone who is wearing the jersey and has shown obvious pride in it. Pull your head in.

So good to be rid of that clown, with his hooves instead of hands...

So is Phil Gould classed as a Penrith club official and therefore can make no comment on any refereeing decision from this point forward?

I'm of the same thinking.

Sam Perrett is a surprisingly funny motherf*cker. I lol'd

Seems excessive.

That isn't the NSW Police motto - that's a US police motto, or something. The NSW Police motto is "Culpam Poena Premit Comes", which translates from latin to "Punishment follows closely behind crime's heels". This is largely the problem with our police force - they've been convinced it is their...

So JMoz is the stand-in NSW captain for now? Based on this pic? (The other guys in the pic are captains of those teams, yea?)

I'm going to be crazy and wait until I see it before passing judgement. I'm a wild man.

And all of this is before we even get started on discussing whther Kohli should have been out for obstructing the throw under the new rules... Anwar Ali was giving out for running down the pitch and obstructing the chance at a runout... Slightly different situation here but by the letter of the...

It happens quite a lot. I included an example below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SO_mZl2GAsk And I've included the Kohli/Johnson video for you to see the comparison. Both batsman think the ball is going to beat the bowler and start to move forward. The only differences between the two are...

Wow... Just wow.... I can't even wrap my head around how this is debatable... So... I just want to get this right... You're saying that if the batsman is out of his crease, and has advanced toward the bowler in playing the shot, and is now well out of his ground, gaining an advantage both over...

Is this hypothetical batsman batting out of his crease? If so, then I expect him to dive the f*ck out of the way if the ball goes to the bowler,otherwise he's going to get hit. Batting out of your crease carries with it risks - one of which is the bowler mowing you down while trying to run you out.

Happens all the time. The batsman doesn't have the right to block the stmps with his body. In the past, you could argue they did have the right to block the throw with their body but it was still at the expense of wearing the incoming throw. This isn't a grey area. MJ had the right to throw...

Yes. If the batsman is out of their crease, the bowler is totally entitled to throw at the stumps. And *SHOULD* throw it -it's part of their job. If you haven't noticed it happen before now, you'll notice it from now on. Kohli = Ganguly 2.0 ..... Buckle up, people. With the BCCI behind him...

5 star arseclown. Seems to not understand his team can't win the series. Again. Pathetic mouthy ****.

Nice one, Grubber! And nice one, Kennel. Pretty cool that everyone is like "Damn that's nice but I bet it could find a better home than me".

Good luck, Reni. There are a lot of us who won't ever forget 2004.

No disrespect intended to Tony but Dale is a heck of a lot bigger/more solid and hits a heck of a lot harder than Tony ever did.

Martin Bella. Comedy gold. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZtQNloDrtw

I think that last sentence is really important. We don't know he did anything at this point. Innocent until proven guilty. But yea, if proven guilty, it's hard to keep him.

I haven't read that he did anything terrible. Until then, the guy helped us win a premiership. Good enough for me.

Wow....Kas... I think you're great... But damn... Maybe lay off the burgers for a while... Damn....

Aunty Raelene did very well with all this. We scored $250,000 and got rid of Barba's contract. In contrast, Paul White, Brisbane's CEO, cost his club $250k plus whatever they had to pay Barba.

James was going crazy at the ref at the end. Aside from disappointment, does anybody know why?

I think this sums up the mood perfectly. http://youtu.be/0Fdb16Om40E

Come home, KK.

Sure, he's a first class athlete but you'd assume that growing up around the sport (like all his competition will have) would give you a much better feel for the game. Otherwise, wouldn't you see more Olympic sprinters ending up as receivers (or whatever position fast men play in NFL)?

Oh you're holding yourself out to be someone with legal knowledge? Okay.

Lawyer?

No chance. Want a wager on it?

http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/nrl/bulldogs-recover-from-grand-final-defeat-with-mad-monday-celebrations/story-fni3g67w-1227081561377 Good to see the guys smiling. Check out the pic of Ennis as Graham :)

Let's calm down with the expectations... T-Rex can probably tell you all about how not fun it is to turn up at our club and get buried in expectations. (I'm already protective of the guy and he's still a Dragon... He must remind me of someone...) But thumbs for enthusiasm.

GOOOOOO PIES!

http://wwos.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=8917211

lol it's not even about Isles - it's the principle :P

See my thumbs down total, Mr I? I copped half of them for suggesting that guy a year ago. Where were you then, eh? You get a thumb down from me for not protecting a noob, then stealing his idea a year later. (But aside from that, I still think he'd be worth wasting money on... You can't teach...

For anyone who didn't see it: http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/league-news/damage-is-done-nrl-response-to-sam-burgess-injuries-too-little-too-late-20141009-113i97.html

Would like to see him get a big cheer from our fans when he takes the field at our home game. From then on, he's the enemy but I think it shows class to when fans recognize players who put in good service for a club when they return home for the first time...

Novelty car horn is genius. Have a blue & white Skyline (Monaro, Commodore, Sylvia, Evo, WRX - take your pick, kids) drive out in front of the crowd and sound the horn as it does donuts. Roy & HG once suggested that the Sydney Olympics be opened by Warnie, driving a Holden one-ton ute off a...

We have a thinker on our hands, gentlemen. I like this idea. A lot. It'd give fullbacks like Barba (if he ever plays there, or anywhere again) a lot to think about while waiting for that bomb to come down.

Get better friends?

If that was true, and not bullsh*t, why did Trent play vs Penrith? You say the injury he suffered was against Manly - why didn't Moses replace Trent for the game against Penrith? If Moses didn't replace him against Penrith, why was he suddenly going to replace him in the gf, after having already...

^^^ This. They qualified for the GF before us and were able to buy GF tickets immediately. We had to wait an extra 24 hours before we knew. Just add it to the list of debacles... Yea.. Charge-downs... Not 6 again... My tv was lucky to survive those moments... F*ckin rage explosion....

Maybe but is that the yardstick by how we gauge a problem? Whether fans celebrating a grand final win would have complained? He was bleeding all over the shop. Should have been taken off. The end.

Yep, it's very important to have a good board, I agree 100%. What your example also says implicitly is that if it wasn't for the negative public image, the pressure to have a strong board wouldn't be so high. It's all well and good to say "F*ck the media, if you have a strong board it doesn't...

Also, I think we differ in that you think this is an isolated incident and it is just Ch9 hyping up Souths. I see it as part of an ongoing campaign against our club by Ch9, with the GF just being the latest episode.

Mate, we paid $100k to Camp Quality for that 'privilege'. You say you've been in business for a while, yet you don't understand brand association and the potential hazards/benefits of maintaining a strong public image... Anywaze, we've made our respective points, I guess. You think the media...

Once again, we disagree. The media control the message. Yes, a strong board etc definitely helps but if the media are against you, you lose. Propaganda works.

I fundamentally disagree with that statement. The perception of the club is directly related to what sponsorship dollars we can attract. Is your Camp Quality example relevant? Did they pay us for jersey space? I thought we donated them that space as a "community partner", as well as agreed to...

Anyone wondering how it impacts on the club? Here's an example: Every time our captain argues a call with the referee, when the commentators interpret the call against us, it makes our captain look like he's lying to the ref/trying to manipulate the ref. When it looks like your captain is...

Like I said, just because I expect something, doesn't mean it's enjoyable, or that it was the right thing for Ch9 to do. Also, you're ignoring the fact that Ch9 was against us the whole way through. You pretty much addressed nothing in the post, actually. Maybe take another look? I don't care...

Disagree with you here, Cammo. I agree that it's a business and that explains why Ch9 run biased commentary but that doesn't mean we have to smile while swallowing their s**t sandwich. It was a common theme all through the finals - Ch 9 cheering home the other team, commentating from the...

What utter crap. The lack of general cohesion was the result of missing Ennis. Our forwards weren't getting good ball, which meant they weren't running at the line full-tilt & copped a fair bit of punishment. Similarly, the lack of cohesion meant that Souths were able to more easily spot who was...

Somebody posted this a few weeks ago, thinking it might come in handy. They were right. http://thenicestplaceontheinter.net/ I'm not disagreeing, Mr I, but it's done & dusted. Have a hug.

2004 Bulldogs Premiers Tshirt. 10 years old, smells like death, wouldn't swap it for quids.

The article is a combo-piece on racism in Australia, with a focus on Bulldogs fans. Compared to 99% of stuff you read, this is brilliant.

Calm yourself. The article is thoughtful and on point - Muslims make up a large chunk of Bulldogs supporters and there is a definite undercurrent of racism in covering any event involving Bulldogs fans. Nobody is making it the "religions at war" - you're being a muppet.

Nailed it. Well done.

What muppet loathes Aunty? What possible reason could there be to loathe her? Sheeesh...

Change thread name to "Hasler Names Most of Club In Grand Final Side".

Eccentrics are awesome and they don't come much more eccentric than Des. Stay crazy, my friend.

Thanks for explaining, mate :) Brains are interesting critters :)

I'm not sure what prompted me to think of it but I'm glad you guys dig it :) Like you guys, normally it's something that happens naturally to me but I think this will likely work too. Synesthesia must be interesting, CK. Does it change with alcohol use, or painkillers or whatever? All the time...

Was just thinking... (and forgive me, this is a little left field, I guess) ... you know how you associate music with certain times in your life, certain things? Well I'm going to associate this week and the upcoming grand final (and hopefully a win) with an album. http://youtu.be/1uvKwkutb5g...

Reckon he's still not 100% but considering he's still carrying that injury, he's been rock solid in defense.

"The TIMINATOR!"

I'm no rich man but I have $10 if you get caught. Straight up.

+1 on Redfern

Well done, sir. http://youtu.be/E-WHW-QNswE

The courses don't establish that the religions are 'true', they accurately teach the content/culture of those religions. There's a difference.

Ouch. Too soon.

I guess a lot of people disagree with you, likeadoggy. Maybe just get over it and try to be positive about the team for the week instead? It's a long off-season with plenty of time for negativity, if that's what you're into.

Des sang Glory Glory to South Sydney?

Another week, another win and another pitifully biased call of the game. At half time, Wally was "thankful" Penrith scored and Fitler was laughing about how biased they were, saying "How good are we"?

It'd be nice if all threads & comments were positive this week. Leave the coaching and criticizing to the experts and do what we do best - love the team.

That was staunch. That feeling :)

It's a bit much...

Wally Lewis - "Thankfully, Penrith scored to get back in the game" Brad Fitler (laughing about the bias commentary) - "How good are we?"

Hang in there, Kennel.

Boom!

T-Rex has been great.

Tidy work, T-Rex :D

I used to live in Newcastle and it was pretty common to run into Joey at the pub. My favorite sighting was at about 7am. My mates & I were still up from the previous night and gave Joey an ironic cheer as he walked off in the direction of the local brothel. On his way back, about an hour later...

Joey is a wanker but credit where it's due, that was sharp analysis...
