    News Jimmy Brings:DOGS CHASE THE SUPERCOACH

    I'm not thrilled that Barrett leads the way to be the next coach but it is the assistant coaching staff that make all of the difference. Kimmorley said on Triple M yesterday that he would say no to a head coach role but would be keen to assist with halves coaching. Ennis should be offered a...

    News Campo’s Corner preview: Bulldogs

    That's actually a really concise, on-point article and I agree with everything. DWZ is currently my favourite Doggies player and he's only been at the club for 5 minutes. I love the guy and I love his attitude, both on and off the field. The club should be built around characters like him...

    Official Pump up video

    Is the Braveheart dude in The Kennel forum? That guy is an absolute legend. I'll never forget the day I was sitting on the train to go to the grand final and he barges into the carriage and gives the most rousing full-blooded pep talk you'll ever hear. Whole train was cheering.

    SBW, halfback and 2 explosive backs

    Hey mate good post. Don't agree with SBW as I don't think he's got that 'Bulldogs DNA' that has been brought up here a few times. I know when he walked out it was a long time ago but he went to the Roosters FFS. He'd only be back at Belmore if he was offered good money - not because he would...

    Nudie Run 2019

    No wonder Tolman is putting his hand up to take the ball every time it's a 4th or 5th tackle in the opponent's 20m. He wants a try so he can keep his gear on.

    I'm sorry everyone

    Even when getting the Bulldogs games wrong I was getting 5-7 correct each week. By the time Dogs vs Cowboys rolled along I was equal first on 121 points. Old mate tipped the Cowboys and I changed my tip last minute to the Dogs and now I'm coming second. FML

    Opinion What did I miss?

    I watched the game too and thought we put in another big effort. The talent / x-factor isn't there unfortunately and we just struggle to put points on the board. A lot of 50/50 calls went against us and the Cowboys received soft penalties at crucial times. DWZ scored that try too. There's no...

    I must apologise to all fellow Bulldogs fans. I haven't tipped the Bulldogs for almost all of the 2019 season. I'm not disloyal, I just tip who I think will win each match each round. I was coming first in my tipping comp out of 25 until last night. It's my fault the Bulldogs lost. I...

    Companies target all kinds of groups to make money you brain surgeon. Why is it disgusting to try and appeal to a particular demographic?

    Didn't Andrew Johns call Lachlan Lewis "beautiful"

    Total cock watcher. what a poof. pushing this agenda constant sexual innuendo gets a bit much ...bit of an unnecessary thread I reckon. Some blokes like blokes. I'm a straight bloke who loves the Bulldogs so a thread about the inconvenience of a footy player maybe being gay is pointless.

    Cheers man. Mmmm there are a few guys there that haven't got a rating as they aren't in the squad this week like Foran, Elliot, Okumbor, Ogden etc. Might get to em later. Elliot would be a 5/10 yeah I agree with you.

    Opinion Current Squad Ratings

    Within the squad and not compared with the NRL. It's important to note that our roster is so incredibly weak compared with most of the heavy hitters in the NRL. Some players have brilliant players around them and as a result, they are better for it. As I mentioned for Jacko, I reckon he'd be...

    It's been a positive 6 weeks in many ways, given the situation our club is in. Seeing as though I'm kind of procrastinating at work, here is my take on the current squad set to face the Rabbitohs this week. 2020 - 2022 will continue to be our rebuilding phase but from what I've seen lately...

    Opinion Josh Cleeland...

    As far as not figuring in the top 30, it might seem that you are right. But Canterbury officials should have given him more of an indication as to whether he'd ever play first grade. He was also pretty decorated and successful in reggies.

    Opinion Josh Cleeland...

    Did anyone ever watch this bloke play? I thought he had heaps of potential but it seems that he was given a raw deal by the Bulldogs in 2017/2018 that almost ruined him physically and mentally. Some of the current stock are being treated in a very similar fashion and it has real life...

    Opinion Obviously winning wont change "hypocrites"

    We finally won two games in a row - against teams who played awful - at the Origin period of the year. We've won 11 games in the past 2 years. I have observed zero evolution of anything that could even be suggested to be a game plan or style of play. I haven't seen a single player improve or...

    Napa should be dropped

    * Defends Napa because he finally put in some effort at the halfway point of the season and only because Sue and Tolman were gone but then criticises Josh Reynolds. Reynolds was nowhere near one of the Bulldogs greatest players but I never saw him give any less than 100%. The same cannot be...

    Napa should be dropped

    "David Klemmer’s reported move from the Bulldogs to the Knights is very close to being announced. It is just a matter of when and it could be the next couple of days. The reason for the delay in the Knights signing Klemmer is down to the Bulldogs’ desire to have a ready made replacement to not...

    Napa should be dropped

    He was average, which is better than he has been all season. His stats were better than usual because he was literally forced to stay on the field to cover for injuries to Sue and Tolman. If he isn't dropped to reggies he at least needs to be a bench player. As I said, he's missed the second...

    Opinion Obviously winning wont change "hypocrites"

    Last week was the worst I've ever seen the Sharks play. We didn't win with strategy, we won with luck, determination and an opposition who handed us the game. We still only won by 2. They scored more tries than us too. Last night against the Knights was better but it was a game still won on...

    Napa should be dropped

    Again, I acknowledge that playing big minutes when two other forwards are injured is a good effort but there was literally no choice. What do you think he was going to do? Just walk off the field without being given his sub? For a long time I’ve thought that Tolman is no longer at the standard...

    So I started this thread... Napa's loyalists are citing last night's stats as a reason to keep him in first grade. Fair enough. But... * He only played big minutes because Sue and Tolman were injured early. Without those minutes he doesn't pump out those stats for us. Ever. * The stats that...

    Napa should be dropped

    Coaching is structure and observable game plan. The playing group has bonded together and I think that’s under the leadership of Jackson, Hoppa, DWZ and to an extent, Tolman. I don’t believe for a minute that any of the players dislike or disrespect Pay. But coaching is much more than just...

    Napa should be dropped

    Gritty win by the dogs tonight. Every player gave 100% except Napa who was sloppy and useless. Dogs’ last two wins don’t appear to come off the back of good coaching, just determination. But if Napa is in the first grade side next week I’ll be pretty annoyed. The guy’s a deadset paperweight.

    2019's focus should be 2020

    Regardless of the decisions that have been made over the past few years, we currently have a roster that cannot compete with 80% of the teams in the NRL. Jagging a lucky win over a hapless Sharks outfit or taking the Storm to the wire at the middle of their slump does not suggest that we can...

    2019's focus should be 2020

    There's a difference between wanting to win and playing under the pressure of having to win or at least play well enough to hold down a permanent position in FG. New players can still be blooded (3-4 FG games in 2019) and still give their absolute everything to win on the day - but without the...

    2019's focus should be 2020

    2019's focus should be 2020

    I felt like some of our best football was played at the end of 2018 for the simple reason that players were no longer busting a gut for the finals. This is where the 'nuisance factor' comes in - teams who won't make the finals play good enough to cause upsets because the pressure has been...

    2019's focus should be 2020

    2019's focus should be 2020

    We have no hope of making the finals in 2019. We are most likely going to get the wooden spoon. For those two reasons alone, 2019's focus should now be on working on 2020. 1. The very large majority of the lower grade team should all be given several opportunities to play in first grade...
