i am going to have to re-name my big blue siamese fighting fish...
he hasnt asked for a release yet must not be far away...
if he puts on a rorters jesey....we be media savy...they will love him..
...yeah and did anyone see d..khead Danny W..laughing in the background...
Mase hasnt left yet...
...so hopes he doesnt..been guttered all day
he has unfinished business..
am so so so so so so so...get the point...not happy......
,issed out on the session...cause it was posted on the same morn....
to late to organise well anything...eg..to get out of work early...
i am so so very cut and absolutely gutted.....
hahaha...i study sport psychologu at uni...lol
to me it seems that sure it is a litle bit mental....but i agree with folksey..
we need some luck.
luck = confidence..and vice versa..
we played better than the broncos...they got a lucky (theres that word) try and dropped the ball at times...
and people thought the superleague was a bad idea......
no salary cap from my understanding....
english comp is based on same rules...
if you breed....u benefit....cause you get to keep those that u spend $ in building..
Can someone name another business where you spend alot of time...
question Utai......what is the difference between the training jersey and training shirt (just got shirt...apart from print)...and the difference between the training jersey...and playing jersey...aside from print..??????
ignorance is the best form of defense people....
he proabably logs into the kennel as a guest...and everyone is talking about him...
lets give him the big "KENNEL" and "DOG Fan" salute by not talking about him or anything he has to say anymore...
that my fellow fans...is the best form of...
,,,,from a major fan (30 + years) that lives in QLD..
THANK YOU..
that is the true spirit imo of a bulldog supporter
+ to all those who critised this...if the dogs had won...would you be saying the same things???
the thing i cant understand...is why that every time a player is dropped to PL from 1st grade due to bad form or whatever...they pull off something that is beyond special..
imo this happens every week...evidence = PL dogs No.1 on ladder..
dont get me wrong....my pride, passion and...
i have been a die hard doggy since my grandmother introduced me 30 years ago...and they are my passion..
and i have never lived in sydney closest was armidale...
...if you have never been to a dogs match up here you wouldnt realise the size of the fan base up here...
the train i caught to...
i heard .....and it was from a very strong..(no i am not going to name them) source.....that thurston was let go due to heavy ties in the rape allegations...and by letting him go....it became "another clubs problem"....
call what you will....i have never been clear on this matter...
that is it....i have washed my hands of omeley...he will have to get that bulldogs for life tatoo changed..
he obviously switched to rooster mode already anyway...
--> evidence = drop in form , increased error rate..decrease in popularity...and the obvious non representative selection...ha...
we should get a big get together up here for all kennel fans especially...
keen on meeting some other kennelers..
i will be at all their training sessions up and all matches...
"...I Love my dogs"....
the last thing i am going to say on this matter...lol
in my opinion...the nrl should follow the likes of the european soccer clubs...who breed players....
say the dogs breed a player...that is, spend the clubs money..improving their strength, skills, knowledge etc...
....if that player...
As I have said before...i cant ignore my heart...
....if he stays he will have my undying bulldog support...
....but if he goes..(especially to the @#$%&@)...i am wiping my hands..
..no autographs.. no pics...if he signs somewhere else..he is no longer a dog in my eyes...even though if will...
NRL on fox .......have supported the rumours and said say goodbye to "shrek"...he will be in the red, white and blue and confirmation WILL be made affirming this tommorow..
now i love shrek....but if he signs with them of all clubs.....i will wash my hands of him straight up....
team...
If we and the players that are the bulldogs dropped to that level...
Andrew Ryan would have had Matt Petersen charged for the hit to the head he got when he was no where near the bal...
AM I RIGHT????????..
but we arent gutter trash......
i heard folkes on fox say that sherwin was disappointing and un-motivated through sherwins own words (due to personal problems)..during the off season. And this was the reason for droping sherwin too PL...but the performance of the man in his PL matches and roberts lack there of.....warrants him...
how can omeley get cited for that.....
and matt peterson not for a head shot on bobcat when he was no where near the ball??????????????????????????????????????????????????
for those that know much about sport history....
does what willie is doing now....remind anybody or is it similar too what Greg??or maybe Ian chappell did for cricket..????????
It was on of the Chappels that stuck there neck out and gave it too the association in order to get a better deal...
would not be surprised if shrek ends up at manly...him being an old north sydney bear and all...
but he gone...
there are players you see in the league in differnet colours...and most of them seem to belong..not all but..
but the ones that seem to not at all suit another colour...dont seem...
what can you say..
and as a 30 plus year fan....i am touched...
i will where the "18" with pride...
thanks...
oh yeah just heard on the footy show that Haz is staying.....
but "shrek" pretty much said he will be moving....
emotional turmoil...highs and lows...
if it is a retirement....and not office.....my bet is Perry or Hughes...
it just better not be Hazem...he would announce something like that after this weekend...
this w/e is too big for the dogs..
haz is over 10 years so he is salary cap exempt..isnt that the rule??????
but i am hopefull it...
I really and trully think that johns will come to sonny's defence at crunch time......imo.....it wasnt malicious..nor intentional...and if it is not blown anymore out of proportion than it already is....it should be all good....
but do take into account that johns isnt tall.....and sonny is...
the game was awesome.....so many positives to come out of it...
as long as they play with that type of passion and aggression for the rest of the season....
12 players for 95% of the game....lose by 1 point....
the panthers are going to be worried next fri night....
and to think if...
johns is as clear as...just heavy concussion...
sonny was falling into it.....
he had to get sent off if you believe the 18000 newcastle fans that said he should....archer bowed to the public...specially at energy stadium
I wouldnt be suprised if Johns doesnt try and help Sonny out...
couple of tissues neede here.......
the first time i went to sydney, (was living in NSW at time)..my grandmother took me past that ground..
made it a point ever since...that if and when i am ever in sydney..to go past that ground and salute....
here is too the Dogs...(thumps just above...
majnoon...ummm no unfortunately...it was big in this country...but u cant make a living here...america..now love it...so do the asian countries..and of course europe..and some of the middle east...all of the above places being bases for the pros...and believe it or not a place to earn real good...
in my opinion gavin orr has his hands in too many pies...(managers to many players)...
...so imo he has too many vested interests...too many conflicting ideas and or ideals...
so how could he obtain the best possible deal and know what is best for one client when he has so many...
obviously...
I just think it is very sad that some clubs have to " buy a premiership" rather than breed a future through the development of the young and unknown. history has shown us that buying a p'ship doesnt work..prime example..bulldogs win p'ship one year...parra buy half of team for around $9...
Let me pose this queston or scenario.....
...Would the punishment or extreme lack of it be changed if he was doing it to an NRL glamour club, eg the broncos, roosters etc????
......i definately think so....
which if you think about it, it is very sad.
didnt ricky stuart and mal meninga both win a p'ship and i know both have coached 1st grade sides...
you guys also forgot Tony Grimaldi as a captian..'06 for andrew ryan who was out on rep duties...
the dogs have heaps of fans up here....to find that out all you have to do is to attended one of their matches up here...they are everywhere..which is fantastic.
I am so happy that I and the other fans up here wlll get to see the boys a little bit more this year...
I will be there with bells...
hey kurry ....my thoughts....
1. try and set him up with a friend of yours..(this will take him away a close friend ie dirty dancing but will also refocus his attention and show him there are other girls..
2....this one is a bit nasty but has worked in the past...find yourself a b/f..and get...
Merry Christmas to all at that warm and fluffy place we call the kennel. lol
hope it is a good one people....stay safe and chat with you in the new year.
ps...if there is something happening up in in QLD...let me know..
I am off to the sunshine coast for a bit...(parents, grew up...
if you want all time big shoulder chargers u cant go past soloman haumoano in a dogs jersey but that is beside the point. As a dog jarod was awesome but as it happens everytime, when someone leaves the dogs they leave their career high lights behind with their form too..go figure
But as for...
I am not sure....but the word up here when thurston left was that the dogs kind of let him go as a result of the coffs harbour thing...
i dont play part and parcel to rumours and inuendo but that is what was said up here in QLD around town anyway.
"the bulldogs are an instituion most players...
Utai....do you know if there will be any trial matches up here in QLD???
if so ...do you know where..
plus can you please please remove the last game score of the bulldog website...still so depressing to see up there ...yes the one against the broncos..
cheers...you the man
Thanks for that Utai...
I was at the last GC training session...had a good conversation with
Jason hetherington while the boys were training...mate has a camera hobby..and being a dogs fan got some good pics..
i heard the dogs were training up here at the moment...is that true????
Will...
tha answer to this queston is easy...
most females seek the tall dark and handsome stereotype...this description in itself typifies a few countries..and in specific a few nations...and most males i know...form travelling over seas...the one part of the world they all want to visit....is around...
if most are around 16-18...that makes me a grand daddy...lol
35.. and was asked for id at the brisbane casino plus 2 clubs in the city...about a week ago..lol...who knows why...
i cant remember to many as a kid...
only that BULLDOG pride, loyalty and spirit were instilled at a very young age..
me now being 35...
but as soon as i could remember...every game is just as important as the rest...
but the one that does stand out does for all the wrong reasons...
Isnt one of the fans code of conduct to leave team selection to management.???
they have done allright to this point otherwise we would be supporting someone else...god forbid..
i am a true blue die hard dogs fan...and that is it...i respect what ever the club do at any one time...no one...
shrek not a dog....that is like the nrl without the bulldogs...same with sonny.
i cannot imagine these guys plus utai in any other colour..
I HATE SALARY CAPS SO MUCH..
it has taken anyway the ability of players in the modern era, to be loyal.
the dogs make some of these players and are...
all of them...
sonny for his flair and fan attraction..(plus talent)..
el masri ...cause he wins games with his boot..
shrek for up front power...
holdsworth for a completion to our halves..
utai for his out side power and aggression..
and roberts for his raw youthful exurberance
our...
to be honest......use a combination of both...
i have been lucky ...i got to play professional sport..(squash)...
but it was a heart choice....
why....it was a struggle in the first couple of years..(financially, family wise..)
but after those first couple of years...going "you...
they will consider him...stuart gave him this chance...and he performed..
in my opinion there is nothing against reni to leave him out once he is fit again...
the only thing i didnt want to see in this years g/f.......was a result based on poor referreing...
and thats what it was...
melb were trying to overcome those bad decisions...but kept getting another...time beat them in the end..
the clive churchill medal should have gone to...
Celebs...hmmmm
Nikki Visser...(inside sport model and all round absolute honey..)
Catherine McClements...(JAG)
Tyra Banks
Holly Valance
The Bulldogs Cheergirls..(MMMMMmmmmm)
hell yeah...i'd be going for the storm...still am...they have been the form team..
plus living in Brisbane...i hate the broncos with a passion...plus their most of there fans....
...who might i add,- are self centered and up themselves..
(remember i said most not all)..
...you guys should be...
mareeta....invasion of personal property....
that is what management told me......something that is valued..
incident is under investigation due to video evidence
I still feel physically sick....gutted....and am still searching for my heart....was ripped out last night...
and living in the middle of bronco territory....where i am known to be a very passionate doggy...
.....you would not believe how much i am coping it.....
to make matters...
We're Bulldogs
That’s why we’re Bulldogs.
We play like Bulldogs.
It comes from deep inside.
A kind of family pride.
It's true as day is long.
It's brave, it's tough, it's strong.
It’s history that makes.
That character it takes.
It’s power, guts and guile.
A dogged football...
Two Reasons To Win....
1....."year Of The Do6"
2. Tony Grimaldi....
Enough Said
Apart From...
"who Let The Dogs Out..................................."
worst decision...Go way back to the first newcastle match this year...
Grimaldi got penalised for a rake...and he was the only one there...that decision turned the whole match upside down...
and if i recall correctly got simpkins demote to premier league after a week off....that was justice...
that sums it...
plus it is only really this year...once on the back of state of origin and the other..(everyone is title to a bad game..)
but go back..we have there measure...we just have to believe.....plus if we win then a grand final becons.
we certainly have the ability....plus i think...
if he wanted to jump the fence and become a doggy supporter...
shouldnt he get rid of the rooster pic first....
if he was serious???????????
and denouncing an ex - dog in Chris Anderson is not a good start in any case
that match plus all the other matches from last weekend have all ready been replayed....on fox..
always replayed on mon or tues...
will be replayed again...guaranteed
what did it matter if you thought the dogs cheergirls were ordinary?????
do we as dogs fans stop supporting the boys cause they have a bad trot...no....we stick behind them stronger..
i think that is what should have happened to the cheergirls...
no matter how you think they went...
I still think our Cheergirls need more recognition....they support our boys through thick and thin, rain hail or shine, and they are still there smiling and giving it there all....
True bulldogs spirit, courage and determination just like us .....the fans
i STILL think more of us doggy fans...
I just raced home to see if our cheergirls made the finals on the footy show only to be shot down in a world of disappointment to see they only placed 5th with no chance of advancement...
the final 4 were roosters, sharks, newcastle and i dont know who the other was....apart from the fact...
the dogs have lost a true champion with this retirement.
if you know the bulldogs and all the qualities that typify a bulldog, you will know that Tony Grimaldi was, is and always will be a true bulldog.
Congratulations on a great career Tony.
I am sure it wont end on grandfinal day, maybe as...
was that article etched in stone???????
oh yeah and i guess the husbands got a club in the other hand as he drags her on the ground by her hair....
...honestly....
<----- cant believe people actually thought that way......and ...more sad....believed it..
oh yeah...<--is male...and...
thanks for the welcome..
i love living here...apart from footy season..but i did see the boys when they came up..plus got to meet them all..so that helps
mareeta...thanks....
i just have issues with the whole "...this person is the best in their sport in history.."..
their have been some greats and we are witnessing some of those moments now...
however.....
what is not to say that their feat will not succumb to someone new with better...
for me a person that basically has sport as their life..(from playing professional sport to now studying sport pyschology)...
having a poll for the ultiate sports person..(singled out)..is ridiculous..
"ultimate sports person" - doesnt that denote good at a variety of sports???
dont get me...
they are not going to be questioning to many decisions this time of year ne way....you think about ...they get it wrong and a team season is over.....
imagine this...not going to happen but...but say the bobcat is denied another try in 3 weeks..and it costs us the win like it did against...
as you can all see now...there is a pic of the little one up now....so enjoy him as much as i do...
thanks heaps for making me feel so welcome people...it is awesome...
remember...say hello whenever....i will get back to you...
cheers
there has been big hits everywhere....
and for the first time on tv...as i live in qld....you could here Willie pumping everyone up for heavy defense....then you heard the body clashes....
heavy heavy stuff
kurry...awwwwww...lol :D
crunchie....he is cute...thats my boy...as i told kurry before....he was july's fan of the month on the bulldog website..... :p
crunchie///thank you thank you thank you.......that was killing me.....name was on the tip of my tongue....
you know what would be more freaky....if a message is posted at....11:09...lol
the thing about idol these day...is even the good ones in the past ....you dont hear about....or they dont win anyway......in my opinion...the only real idol that has done...ground breaking stuff worldwide...has been ...that chick from america.....wjo i cant remember..lol...shannon noll the only...
thanks...me thinks he cute too....
clucky...ha ha...
dont know what path he will travel..
i have just retired from the professional world squash tour..
and his uncle is a former world ranked muay thai kickboxer....so who knows
he is big but...and only almost 5 months old...
