This **** does not go on up here in sunny QLD. It appears a certain 'breed' of fan has crept into our club over the last ten years. These 'imports' need to pull their heads in or **** off. This is a great club that has been around for ever and does not welcome **** wits destroying our good...

Team they should have gone with: 1) Hayne 2) Monaghan 3) Lyon 4) Cooper 5) Williams 6) Gidley 7) Mullen 8) Stuart 9) Farah 10) Weyman 11) Creagh 12) Ryan 13) O'Donnell 14) Payten 15) Learoyd-Lahrs 16) Scott 17) Wing

Seems to be a little bit more restrained so far this year.

I don't think that would help with their running style. No wonder that they are bumped & bruised.

Please tell me exactly what a Hecktik is. Ta.

I don't think he can read the play well enough defensively. They guy has been in FG for 7 years or so, how much more time does he need to work on his defence? The guy always puts too much pressure on himself - let alone the pressre from the opposition that target him. The guy is...

Correct. Folkes would have had strips torn from him. I can't believe that Utai is an option for us at the moment. I suppose if the game plan is to lose the game at a crucial moment from a simple handling error or missed tackle, then Utai is the man!

Talking up Wesser a bit, aren't they?

Someone beat u to it. http://www.thekennel.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=62165

Fairly intimidating avatar there buddy. It appears that you actually condone this type of crap.

Nanai needs to hit it up harder. He runs like a cupcake.

He has played wing his whole career. How can he make excuses like that!

Journalism or opinionism???? Here is my opinion then........... Just before halftime, El Masri was shortened after a tackle which looked as though he injured his hammy. The replacement may have had something to do with that. Utai was terrible, dropping the ball on many occasions and...

The best game I have ever seen Roberts play was when he first started for us & Folkesy played him at centre. He is an individualist that would do very well out wide. He has a sweet step & is quick on his feet. Perfect centre material. Idris has played on the wing. Here is his bio of the...

Return to the old way.

Captain is just a title. In the past, I have said that Ryan should step down from the captaincy, but he was in the refs ear last night quite a bit. We also now have two natural talkers in BK & Ennis, so as far as leadership on the field goes, we are blessed in having a lot of options in that...

Posted in another thread................ After watching 3 weeks of the boys running around, IMO, I think the improvements could be as follows: 1) Patten 2) Idris 3) Roberts 4) Morris 5) Goodwin 6) Stagg 7) Kimmorley 8) Hannant 9) Ennis 10) Armit 11) Eastwood 12) Ryan (C) 13)...

Every up & coming youngster has this tag. It is part & parcel. He will be FOTM, just like Folau was, just like Freddy was, just like ET was. No biggie. I would be securing him for a little longer whilst the iron is hot though.........

I will be there. Stoked it is so early in the season as well.

If Roberts is in the side, I reckon centre or utility is his best option. His skills as mentioned above will be a great assesst along side Morris. He is an individualist.

I will be there. Will PM u - maybe have a brew.

Rather play with him than against him. I was never a big fan of him when he was a Rooster, but seems to have pulled his head in the last couple of seasons at Melbourne. He has also been a good luck charm for both clubs (win % with him on the field). Also with his vast experience, he would...

He is so injury prone - he is going to have a very short career I reckon. Why not cash in now whilst he can. He would be an idiot not to. He can set himself up for life earning the coin he is on in France. Yes, he left his mates in the ****. The didn't do a lot to dig themselves out of it...

I agree whole heartedly to most of your post. I believe that El Masri does cop the brunt of it (along with a select group of others - and a few that aren't with us anymore eg: Folkes) purely because of his standing in the club. I love it when people offer something to debate about - my...

Yeah, that's cool - but we all know the story (yawn). I have had to ditch a boss in unfavourable circumstances to do what is best for my family - I see where SBW is coming from. Life goes on. My point is SBW had a good year (albeit the handful of games he played). Ryan, El Masri...

You can't teach this new Dog old tricks January 30, 2009 For every boofhead in the NRL, there's an army of good men. For every "traitor" such as Sonny Bill Williams, there's a traditionalist such as Brett Kimmorley. When he did a runner from the Bulldogs yesterday, there was no need for...

Went missing just like everyone else. When he was there, he was our only shining light imo. He played on knowing that he wasn't even going to be there for the season. What was everyone else's excuse?

Roger that, but that would mean the whole side (Ryan included) - I did not see a player play above his weight all year (except SBW). I believe that the season should kick off on a clean slate, which means that the incumbents need to be unseated by a better player than them (as is normally...

He has changed his avatar though.

Probably have to agree with you there. Although Utai & El Masri hold their own.

With Hickey gone, move Ryan to the front row.......

Not taking into account last season, his win/loss ratio is worse than most of our captains. If El Masri can be questioned, why not Ryan?

Here are some of the blanks, I think......... 6) Victor or Hugo - Victor & Hugo 7) Bearenstein Bears???????? 8) Ace McDuck - Duck Tales 10) Nanny - Count Duckula

Folau, King, Lewis, Inglis, etc have or do play on the wing - all are representatives and all play centre and other positions. There are picked in those respective positions for the benfit of the team. My team warrants Idris on the wing. Why has Idris earnt it? How many games did he play last...

See my sig. Groom was impressive in the Fiji side. Could be the spark we are after.

Are u working with a mended leg? Sounds like your year was worse than most!

I have never been a big fan of Kimmorley - but he's now my favourite halfback. Never been a big fan of Crocker - but he could be my favourite second rower. I think he would be a good aquisition. There is nothing more morale building then seeing the tough nuts lined up next to you on the...

He is. He is a second rower too. There are quite a few options with the crew we currently have to play in your second row. I wonder about your pick for Goodwin though. Each to their own. Dr Elefun is my homeboy.

3 games this year for QLDer's - awesome!

Now we are reported to be looking at signing Stagg from the Broncs. I wonder if we should have explored this option earlier, as we have signed Gordon who can play in the exact same positions, but out of the two, I much prefer Stagg.

Merge if required......... Does anybody think that the club is contradicting itself signing a player like Gordon. His history of not being committed to the cause is well documented. We have sacked Tomato & Maitua for not sticking to the code of conduct. Why has the club bought in a player...

Great replacement - would give us options with his versatility & his work rate in defence would be great, a lot like Grimaldi. Origin rep to boot.

Is there room for Reserve Grade as it used to be when all teams were to provide a RG team as per club representation & still include Newtown, Norths, etc? I remeber the quality of RG (especially in the '90's) was a wonderful comp that has it all over todays standard. NYC is a great idea...

At least he is consistent with time off the paddock. His teams owner will be scrutinising his investment now - he has bought himself damaged goods. Have Gasnier & $BW gone up against each other yet?

I would like to see him step up. It looks like he has the goods. He hasn't made it into too many suggested teams on this forum. He might be flying under the radar. Maybe an option for a mobile front-rower coming off the bench?

Why not play LTM or Maitua in the #4. It would a bit of a reshuffle in the backline, but with possibly great results. LTM is not consistent enough atm. Maybe #17 for LTM because of his utility value.

He is signed to play at the Dragons as of 2009.

Have you seen him play? A lot on here I believe jump on band wagons. I think he is a depth signing atm and nothing more. I hope he has a great season & that I underestimate him. Maybe he can crack FG & go on to being a major strike weapon for us. I reckon he is very similar to his brother...

I based my team on what will be our strongest towards the end of the season. I really dont think Patten will see out the season if his injury is the same as Minichellio. Maitua can make a great centre - some of the best centre three-quater combos have the strike centre & the defensive centre...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...........................HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Poor Dallas will never live that one down. One of my fav's is Steve Mortimer in the '79 Grand Final. Mortimer's cover defence was one of the best ever.

http://www.rleague.com/db/player/p/paea_eddie/index.php Rather would have kept Taumata. Paea tackles as hard as Barba. How did Paea go for Samoa? Don't want another Joe Williams - another Souths half discard. The guy could only crack it for 4 games this year with the Bunnies. Is...

Don't think Bird cares if Sharks cut him. The question is why haven't they done so already? We have all learned from Dollar Bill Squillons that the NRL is kidding themselves if they think they can stop someone doing what they want to do.

I thought it was Dogs v Raiders.

Mannering would be excellent. I think Warriors have their sights on him for captain after Price.

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

If Bird was signed, I would want Tomato back. FFS It would make a mockery of our policy to clean out the garbage.

Bert Newton's head.................hahahahahahahahaha

My banner says - "There once was a man named Ennis....."

He packed into the scrum a handful of times. Some see his future in the backrow. A nice replacement for Dollar Bill Squillions. LTM played okay. Gordon went alright, but I am still not yet convinced. Hope he goes okay. Anyone notice that Luke Goodwin was Maori coach???????? Craig Smith...

For another revenue stream - yes. Just to **** the Sharks - yes. Relocation is a no go. New teams should be made from the grass roots up. Look at the failure of Nothern Eagles.

Something to do with the Fan Forum the other day???????

Was there a bit of cloak & dagger action going on?

Bet he'd be up for it too......

Bulldog '80 / Warriors '02 / Tigers '05 style of play.

Greenberg = untested but has potential Coorey = has form and has contacts, welcome back the fold Dib = hope he has clubs best intentions at heart Successful era being which one? The years before & the lead up to 2002-04 or the chapter we are about to embark on?

Love the photo though. I am not technological enough to do something like that.

I would love to go but I cannot become a member as I believe I need someone to 'vouch' for me.

Last I knew, he was head of Fijian RL I think.

Started in a thread: http://www.thekennel.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=55193

Oh well.

Roger that. What I am saying is that I put him in the same class of purchases as Nick & Joe. Hopefully he proves me wrong.

Have we already done this thread? Watching the Sharks has made me realise that as gifted as Kimmorley is, he is unable to guide a team single handedly. Without his foil in Seymour, he really stuggled to put the plays together. Next year, he must have the best partner possible for us to...

Surely the $ figure is incorrect. Maitua is perfect for #17, so is LTM. Don't need anymore second line second rowers. Williams, Youngquest, Gordon. He may prove me wrong. I hope so.

Cheers mate. Bring back the 7's !!!!!!

I'll leave it up to you to work out.

Post count means nothing numbnuts. I've stayed out of your hair for ages mate, don't start now. While we are at it, can u come up with a thread to while away the off season on this forum?

Matua - was he the dreadie dude?

An idea for a superthread. Someone asks a name of a player that they were a fan of & what they are up to now. Thru the internerd, maybe some answers can be gained. Hope it doesn't become a stalker page though. Does anyone out there like this idea? Just the other day, I was reading...

Rather Dave Taylor.

Going by the thread starter, I am going to have to say El Masri (very hard to separate from Mortimer, very hard).

Gentleman Glossop.

Rather James Stosic.

Just read on Daryls RL site that Armit is with Sharks until 2010. http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Field/8957/2009_mov.htm

What do you know? Or are you just speculating? I'm not very good at multi-quote.

G. Miles, SBW, C. Mortimer, R. Wiki, M. Adamson, J. McCracken, C. Close, S. Rogers, etc. Not everyone, but it is a possibility.

Wouldn't want a contract breaker - it would make a mockery of the $BW fiasco. We would lose any support we were given. If it was a player that was released - different story. I hope there is a note of sarcasm in your post-diddly-ost. How do you do that funky blue that represents...

Haha at Myles's head! It looks like a loaf of bread. The little fella on DOGGYDOGG's sig looks strangely like a Mini-Me-Myles!

Sweeney scored an awesome solo try. Go the big marn.

Was probably his dealer T. Carney hahahaha

Saw the game last Saturday - it was a cracker. Sweeney is definately a player with some potential. He wouldn't look astray in a CB gersey. Jason Bulgarelli is playing pretty well this year - another player hoiked by the Raiders.

Obviously not the Rooters. I'm gonna go with the Price-led Warriors. Maybe some want to see Kimmorley, Hannant & Ennis with some GF rings on when they come next year. Thoughts?

I'll take the middle one thanx!
