    Addo-Carr cleared of fracture | soft tissue injury to be confirmed

    I think the issue most people seem to be ignoring to throw shade at whoever they want to blame, is that when your forwards gets dominated, the other side knows they can start bullying all over the park with no repercussions. There’s no big prop that’s going to fire up and steamroll them. There’s...

    Bulldogs player walks out

    My money is on Tevita. He was due to be off contract end of next year. A detail they would use to throw the heat off him. Not named this week and no sendoff. Sounds like he has walked a game early.

    Rumour The Canterbury Bulldogs will offer Gold Coast Titans forward Tino Fa’asuamaleaui a $4 million contract – and a share in a pub

    Rumour The Canterbury Bulldogs will offer Gold Coast Titans forward Tino Fa’asuamaleaui a $4 million contract – and a share in a pub

    It’s the effort plays by Tino that don’t show on stats. He’s a forward leader. He sets the standard. Other forwards become better behind a fierce leader like that. Forwards need a commander that’s treating the forward pack like it’s own team of marines with a specific mission to complete. That’s...

    WORST GOAL LINE DEFENCE I'VE EVER SEEN

    Nothing seriously wrong at all. Have you watched much NSW cup? This is standard cup defense. Our entire pack bar TPJ is cup players. In cup it’s almost expected that if you barge over you score.

    Phil Gould knocked back by Ben Hunt as Bulldogs search for a seven

    Exactly right. Clearly not many tradesmen supporting the dogs…being in the halves is essentially an apprenticeship. You pick up the basics in the first 5 minutes and think “this is easy”. The thing is though, the hard part is learning what to do when shit doesn’t go perfect. That’s what takes...
