I’m calling for JR to be 7 against Manly with Nu Brown 14 and I really think this will be strongly considered by CC. On trial form it’s a no brainer, JR was bloody good on Sunday, KF was good in defence but his primary role is offence and the poor bugger just can’t make up for his lack of a...

ONE of rugby league’s toughest ever enforcers has come out swinging in defence of underfire Canterbury Bulldogs recruit Tevita Pangai Jr. And Steve ‘Blocker’ Roach not only reckons one of the modern game’s most maligned forwards is ready for State of Origin but declared: “I’d like to have him in...

I believe the Mansour signing will be the catalyst for MB early release: * frees cap space to allow penrith to keep Steven Crichton long term * we have made offer for SC, until he is resigned no favours for us or Burton * they signed back up half * what a bunch of pricks they would be to...

These two blokes generally shit me but interesting what they say anyway particularly our recruitment John Bateman's contract standoff with the Canberra Raiders has been slammed as "rotten" and "awful" by NRL greats Andrew Johns and Brad Fittler. Bateman has been given permission to negotiate...

Info for op's that aren't familiar with elections etc, it is highly likely that the incumbent board will be elected unopposed next year. Who is going to try to put an opposing ticket together that would have any support from voters? Other voting members on here as well as some others will...

I fully expect LL to be named as half later today, probably Holland back too. I have been privileged to follow our great club since mid 1960s, all the champion players since then. Imo LL shows as much potential as most of our greats, not all eg. Baa, Turvey etc. We got a glimpse of his potential...

Whatever this weeks result against eels, the team named in my opinion is just not the team we should be fielding. * we have a speedy fb in meaney, throw him in to see if he can do the job * leave the wingmen at the moment, see how they go with better inside and middle players * Chn to...

My first thoughts on watching today's Isp state game was oh oh our best two attacking players are fucking unsigned (with us!). These blokes are easily the best in their positions in our club (Lewis is a 7 not a 6 and Foran who knows), forget all the defensive stuff with Cleeland, it's easier to...

Doesn't need words really, does it? The new club bosses sitting on the hill at Penrith yesterday watching Isp team. Had to take this shot from the ch9 telecast, this type of stuff epitomises the feeling that the Anderson's have for our great club.

A definitive list of top 30 squads could be publicised for the first time next season in a bid for greater transparency around the game's rostering system. An August 21 feedback session open to all clubs and attended by representatives of the NRL, Rugby League Players' Association and agents...

New TPA?

lets hope they ask some hard questions

HOW many times can you pick up your phone, read a headline and let four-letter words fly before you decide to break the cycle for the sake of your own sanity? As a Bulldogs fan, I wondered that when it was finally announced Aaron Woods would be going to the Sharks. And he could play for them...

I mentioned this in another thread, but stuff it, it needs it's own thread. These two must be brought up to see how they handle it. I know all the arguments against both of them, not good enough, too old not made it yet blah blah blah. At fucking least they are a specialist half and five eight...

I have been a massive fan of Turvey since he joined the Berries in 1976, a champion half and a decent man. Steve was a Dib supporter on the Football board for many years and is the only surviving director following the recent election rout. However, following all the recent leaks to media re...

Inside story on how Tedesco nearly signed with Bulldogs Author Michael Chammas Chief Reporter All the lights were off. It was almost 10pm at Belmore Sportsground in March last year. Des Hasler had gone home for the night, not a player or staff member in sight. Then James Tedesco and Aaron...

His Honour - Mr. Dib, even though top 8 clause for 2017 in HOA why did you publicly say Mr. Hasler is contracted for 2 more years? Mr. Dib. - Your Honour I stopped saying that when we couldn't make the 8 and I decided that he couldn't coach for...

Ironic that Peponis/Dib, two of the big hitters on nswrl board sack a good bloke like Daley, doing a reasonable job, yet cling like shit on a blanket to Hasler whose minuses far outweigh his pluses at dogs. I've seen all the turmoils in our great club from Bullfrogs board takeover in late...

Peter Tunks reported on 2sm talkin sport tonite that his informants told him that over last few months that hasler had several blow ups with senior players. Another piece of the jigsaw that is des.

Just a hunch, I think dib may have outsmarted all of us most of all des, for these reasons: * seemed commonly reported at time that first contract extension 2016 included top 4 clause, so dib at that time looking for safety net * dib rat cunning * des body language (as op have commented on)...
