My Bad, must be the old age kicking my memory.Correction we finished 9th in 2011. Not 12th. I hope he changes the structure to keep teams guessing and not keep it the same like Des did.
Would be worth putting something on it although I'm not so sure we'll get there.Bet on us for top 8
Bookmakers have little faith in recently appointed coaches Trent Barrett, Kevin Walters and Anthony Griffin lifting their clubs above the premiership cellar next season.
The TAB has issued its first betting market on the wooden spoon (most losses) for 2021, with Canterbury Bulldogs favourites at $4 from the Broncos and St George Illawarra both at $5.
Despite hiring Barrett and new chief playmaker Kyle Flanagan from Sydney Roosters, the Bulldogs are expected to show little improvement, according to the TAB.
The Belmore club finished last season with just three wins.
The Broncos finished with the wooden spoon last season after opening as an $81 chance to get the game’s most dreaded prize. They are now their shortest quote ever before the start of the season to finish on the bottom.
If anything, the Broncos roster is in worse shape than last season without both David Fifita and Jack Bird.
They are relying on Walters to reinvigorate the roster with his renowned passion.
At the Bulldogs, Barrett says he is not concerned by the TAB’s assessment of his footy team.
“They’re entitled to their opinion,” Barrett said.
“We’re confident that we can improve from last year. After being there a week, whilst knowing we have a lot of work in 14 weeks to get ready, one thing I know is we won’t get beaten on effort.”
This time last year, Gold Coast Titans were $3.50 favourites for the spoon, but are now a $26 chance on the back of five straight wins to finish last season and the recruitment of gun forwards David Fifita and Tino Fa’asuamaleaui.

Same same.I'm not a betting man but I'm thinking about placing a couple of hundred dollars down on us making the 8
Wow. I thought they would be a lot higher!!!They are on sportsbet now. Dogs $4 to make the top 8, $9 to make the top 4 and $51 to win it.
So we are $4 to get the spoon and $4 to make the 8, how the fark does that work?They are on sportsbet now. Dogs $4 to make the top 8, $9 to make the top 4 and $51 to win it.
$4 is a long odds to make the 8 when 8/16 sides qualify. They are never going to give anything bigger then $4-$5 to make the 8 no matter how bad the team at the start of the year.So we are $4 to get the spoon and $4 to make the 8, how the fark does that work?

TBaz must create a special " US AGAINST THE WORLD " team mentality !This needs to be printed up and stuck on the walls and used as motivation.
Exactly! Our fans need to turn up in numbers too. Fuck having people knocking us and calling us cellar dwellers and wooden spoon favouritesTBaz must create a special " US AGAINST THE WORLD " team mentality !

THIS!Exactly! Our fans need to turn up in numbers too. Fuck having people knocking us and calling us cellar dwellers and wooden spoon favourites
Thanks mate. People are saying no more excuses for the club and board etc well that goes for the fans too. We sit there in a ghost town surrounded by people in wheelchairs, lifelong fans like Sue dying of cancer and people in their 90’s etc. We need to be a force again in all aspectsTHIS!
I have to admit last season the team's effort was Paramount, we lacked on talent in the spine...Simple as that !To be honest I had high hopes of a few more wins last season! I have faith in TBAZ but we need a game controlling dummy half, without that, we have no hope of top 8!
Because betting agencies never lose.So we are $4 to get the spoon and $4 to make the 8, how the fark does that work?
