Heard on the news this morning that Barba possibly being pushed out of Broncos and may end up at the Sharks (Back in Sydney) Faaaark. Couldn't help but wonder what Dessie and the dogs think of this and if they would at all entertain the idea of asking him back. Not saying that I want him back...

Not sure what to expect for our team selection against the Raiders with our injury count mounting. Praying our Origin boys come out unscathed. Who is Des going to select this time. Again the question beckons, who will be FB. Can't wait for Origin to end.

It was good to hear Morris was confident of returning sooner than expected and he thinks possibly before Origin 3.

Very true, we've gone back to playing one out non team effort football again. Our forwards have success when they run in pairs or as a group following up each other supporting one another.

I also thought Reynolds was out this week, so glad he's not. But I hope he serves a week suspension against a lesser side at some point to wipe off those carry over points before we get into the nitty gritty of the end of season or it would be our luck that would lose him at a crucial time.

I'm glad you 2 cleared that up.

Not to mention Gould's crap always on the Rooster bandwagon. What happened to him at Canterbury for him to be against us so much?

It's obvious who that writer follows.

What was it with Stanley? Dislocated shoulder?

That performance was what I've been waiting for from TRex since he signed. That performance is the reason why he has been criticised so harshly in the past because as we saw last night when he puts his mind to it that's what he can produce. He has still got improvement in him but his...

Exactly.

Noooooooo please noooooo.

Does anyone know what Tedesco is on currently at the Tigers?

Come on Teddy, you won't regret it.

A MOU isn't a contract its a bit like a letter of offer isnt it? and there was no registration of a contract with the NRL, so its like it never existed. Isnt there a get out clause on contracts before round 13? Does anyone even know what the figure actually was? Every bloody Journo comes up with...

Yeah 700k is to much I think between 5-600k should be the max limit. If 450-550k can get him here and leave the Tigers bid for dead that would be ideal. Say 2 Mil for 4 years would be great.

Guess what Marge, the rains are here. Uh oh, could we get a repeat of last week?

Congrats Ennis, good luck tonight and lead us well.

There's not that much around at the moment.

Are you banking on a junior coming up? Or someone else?

I agree Marley and to add to your opinion you also have to consider the topping up of young players who become regulars or stars, such as Klemmer and the like who will command more at the completion of their current contracts.

When? The dynasty has begun and we need a fullback to complete the puzzle.

A big key will be not to hang off Pearce and Maloney. We need to rush them and be in their faces all night long. Sometimes we seem to hang off too long which gives other halves time to sum up and also gives attackers time run angles. Rush them all night but go up together and that will go a long...

Maybe with a Reynolds flat kick but hope the Roosters don't intercept.

I've also considered that but the winger tends to drop back a bit early for a kick and if that becomes Morris, the attack may elect to run the ball, Morris is more important in the defensive line. Unless we are already pinned on our line your idea may work then. However Morris also provides...

Jesus wept.

Yair

A couple of those clean cut Roosters boys look like they could be in One Erection.

Doggies by at least 6 hope Lafai and Graham playing otherwise it might go the other way.

Do you think that successful businesses haven't taken some risks to get where they are? We don't have a fullback and this bloke Tedesco is too good an opportunity to not have a crack at.

If we wait till then we will have missed the boat.

Where's my thumbs up dude? Im the one who challenged the comment about Smith ffs. Hahaha.

We've been missing more than Kas though dude.

We could do with a TRex factor.

It was that voice again wasn't it buddy.

At $3 that's a good return.

What really excites me is that we no longer are dependant on just one player to fire or be there anymore. Yeah god forbid if we were to lose a half or something but we have guys waiting in the wings chompin for a go in the very near future we will have developed cover for these types of hiccups...

As Fonzy would say - Exactamundo.

I want TRex to flatten SBW with or without the ball in TRex's hands and that will be the big play he is looking for to revive his confidence once and for all.

Funny how he down played our win to the tune that Smith didn't play and is pre down playing us to the tune that JWH won't be playing this week but fails to mention who we have and have had missing since the start of the season and that we have had to re- invent ourselves with so many new faces...

The Bulldogs keep the Journo's in a job, without us they'd have nothing to write about. I wish we could charge them for every bit of dribble that comes out of their mouth regarding us.

I'll be keenly listening out for any news before the completion of rugby league on Sunday as the Tigers, Tedesco or his management were expecting to make an announcement prior to the Leichhardt game and no news there will be good news here.

Ok

I don't think it will take that long.

How are you certain of this? Do you know who they are or aren't pursuing?

You better not be pissing into the wind bro.

Next year the Stewart bros will be another year older and still have to get through this season. If they did come and one got dropped would the other not want to play anymore? Forget it, no way, no thanks. There are much better options out there.

Wow he's got loads of talent, but isn't there a union World Cup next year?

I 2nd that.

Hang on I'm getting a brain transmission coming in dit dit dit dit, dit dit dit dit, bulldogs need to score more points then the roosters dit dit dit dit, dit dit dit dit, end transmission.

Oh, now I've got it. Scoop.

Asphinctersayswhat?

I can't help but read his comments, its astonishing.

Things are different now then they have been in the past. Our halves are starting to believe in them selves and its starting to pay dividends. They are only getting better every week. i know Smith was a big big lose for the Storm and that we got lucky there but we didn't just scrape home, we...

Imagine his emotions when we face the Roosters in this years GF. Big prediction I know.

Seriously what is the code you have cracked? It wasn't that we need to be penalised less than the Roosters, was it?

So what's going on in your head? What code have you cracked? What's your invisible friend saying. Are you sure you haven't cracked? How did you come to your conclusion? You don't see dead people do you?

I believe we are using smoke screens or clever ploys to some degree, but as I've said in the thread I've created, I think we are dangling a carrot for players and player managers to start offering themselves to us rather than the other way around considering the kind of money we have on offer...

I'm saying its a good thing as managers would breaking their necks to offer players to us rather than us having to enquire. The manager will be convincing his players to come to us as they know we have the bucks and they obviously get a cut of the players deal. Time is running out before someone...

Still if you were a player manager knowing how much the doggies have to spend wouldn't you be trying to shop your player around at the bulldogs? Considering how bad they need a fullback and or a winger before the position is filled?

If it meant Foran may also be enticed? Oh don't know, don't particularly want the Stewarts. To old.

Yes but it could be playing into our hands.

Hopefully he can stay longer. Start killing it in NSW cup and you will get your chance.

I'm seeing their relationship and confidence in directing the team growing more and more each week also. They very well can take it all the way.

Surely they have to be kidding. What have we cost him? What a contract that hadn't even been finalised or registered? His comments cost him this contract. He said he wished he had have opted for yawnion so the club granted his wish. You can't have it both ways. Sounds like he doesn't know what...

Hiku's not a bad option, but I've got my heart set on Tedesco to be honest. But it depends on the price as if we can afford both Hiku would make a good winger and backup for fullback if required.

That would have meant a lot to Des for him to show that kind of dedication.

Fairdinkum it seems every player that is off contract or disgruntled is coming to the Bulldogs. Are these all just Jurno beat ups or does anyone think that the Doggies make little lose enquiries that they know will create a headline, either to mask another direction they are really going or...

No thanks, to old to many injury's.

If TRex can produce one..... MASSIVE play, whether its say levelling out SBW, a long range trampling run to score a try or if that try wins us a game etc, it could very well awake the Giant. It's obvious that he doesn't have the belief in himself yet hence why we all get so frustrated with him...

I've been on his side, I've been critical of him, I've made jokes about him out of frustration and bemusement, at times I've wanted to throttle him. I think a lot of us have. But I saw something on Sat night that excited me and gives me some hope for this guy. He was at his usual laziness up...

Difference is Homer has no DOH.

I think the big contributor to his performance against the Storm really begun when he moved to the left hand side as many others have posted. He became way more involved almost instantly once he swapped sides. Hope he starts on that side against Roosters, I want to see if he does it again. Maybe...

Hopefully April fools.

It's simple, Inu and Kas were both injured to start the season. Both are now back and have had to tune up in NSW cup. Both haven't been impressive there yet but that's why they are there ( to tune up). Our current 1st grade team is improving each week and although against a Storm side minus...

Also means (Doggies Full back) in Italian.

Means (Doggies Fullback) in Italian

Or Cagnolini Terzino.

I know what we can call him, Cagnolini Posteriore Completa

How about we just call him, and ask him how much he wants.

I'm sure she still feeeels the same.

What about Ted Bullpit?

How about sauce. When we looking for something in attack we can go straight to the Sauce?

How about Jimmy Tedsworth.

About $50,000 more than the tigers lol.

He's also a New South Welshman so we won't have to worry about home sickness.

We already are linked to everyone, aren't we?

As long as this Teddy isn't stuffed when he gets on the playing pitch. Hehehe

I thought you were going to say that his stuffed bulldog and stuffed teddy get along great. Hehehe.

I find it funny that it wasn't one of the sharks office that spoke to Danny Wisearse regarding what now with Fifita, instead they sent in Gallon to front the media and especially after what Gallon said about it when the deal was originally announced. Gee their office is piss weak.

It's going to be hard for another club to believe he will play for them with his heart and soul after this as he has shown that the money is his motivation however I'm sure the Roosters will go hard at him seeing how SBW won't be there next year. He'll fit in nicely.

I believe they realised that they needed a fullback more than another prop and that they were going to have to spend big time to lure him. Also our young forwards have developed faster than they expected i.e Klemmer. So after the comments that were made by Fifita it all fell into their lap plus...

Terminated, Hasta La Vista Fifita.

What a fool to make those comments after a deal of a lifetime. Where does that leave him now? I wonder what Cronulla think of this? Do they even still want him? Ah so many questions. He could disappear into the rugby wilderness. Big dollars now for a fullback and retention yeeeeha.

Ffffffffffffffffffffffaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrkkkkkkkkkkkk what a turn of events. I'm not sure if I'm happy or sad. But I know I'm smiling, probably because I'm in shock or maybe more so that we aren't blowing all that money on a forward we don't need and can now direct it to other areas we need.

I wonder who the 3rd party is? Does anyone have any idea? They could have financial problems, i.e liquidation. Then what, if they can't pay the 200k? Because if they are, Parra can't compensate him as that would have to be included in their cap. They may need a diff 3rd party to come in and take...

Sweet

Although it was a great win against the Storm, we really need to fix up our opening 20min of our games. Apart from the Sharks game we have been losing the first quarter of games this year and its hurt us in 2 of our 4 games by a couple of points. I hope we fix this up this week against the...

Agreed.

I think he is turning out to be a fantastic defensive fullback. Not sure if he has the attack factor, but that may improve as he settles more into the position. Not the speed element but maybe the support and passing element. Although his passing element ha been found wanting so far.
