[B-Train]

Worst team on earth

Also I didn't know that losing players through the junior system (harold matts, sg ball etc) now counts?

He's clutching at straws for this shitty 8000 word article the same way he clutches to those last 5 hairs on his head.

The dumb fuck didn't even put Reed Mahoney in there..

 

[steeliz]

Most of those players were released by Hasler and ancient history.

 

[Doggiezbrah]

Apart from Cook, and Finucane, that whole team is rubbish. Riccio is a dope.

100%… clutching at straws lol. Most of these players are either fringe or reserve players. The only player I want is Talau out of that list. Watched his dad play for us and loved him as player.

 

[Cappuccino]

Team is rubbish and what does he want us to do? Sign 15 yr old that are playing in under 15b for St George dragons to nrl coaching contracts so when they are 58 they don't embarrass us? What the fuck you stupid idiot Riccio. Shave ya head and u look like you stink

 

[The DoggFather]

Can't believe you guys read it.

I stopped when I saw which pedo looking scum cunț "wrote" it.

 

[Kempsey Dog]

That halves pairing is worse than what we have now haha.

 

[wendog33]

Guys we just have to wear these bs articles and agenda driven lying journos atm. Things will turn for us. We all know that.

Eg. Gus missing the awards night. He has a severe case of the flu but that not mentioned by the hysterical gossip hound.

We already know Gus has been attending training and video sessions with our young guys....thats far more beneficial to them face to face than attending an awards night when he is ill and spreading flu germs.

 

[alchemist]

the real identity crisis with us came with the abandonment of our junior scouting and development

 

[xanderalexander]

Let me get this straight: Riccio claims the bulldogs have no 'identity' because players that used to play for the Bulldogs now play for other clubs?

Is this guy high or what?

Is this what passes for journalism these days? The list of players he identifies hardly encapsulate what the majority of fans would identify as blue and white DNA. James Graham, Steve Mortimer, Josh Reynolds, Steve Price, Terry Lamb.... so many players that fans would point to as 'true Bulldogs' that would be too long to fit in a newspaper column... and hardly of them feature in the list he provided.

What a dickhead.

 

[EXPLORER]

What a bullshit nothing article.
You could do a team list like that for every club.

 

[EXPLORER]

Correct, and Gus is fixing that.
That development will take time.
But assembling a better team shouldn't take too long

 

[Jai81]

Cook would have been handy the last few years but I prefer Mahoney anyway...

 

[c-b-b]

Every team has players that have moved on and are playing elsewhere. Who cares. There’s hardly anyone decent on that list.

 

[Roger the alien]

What a dumb article.
There's maybe 2 players in that list that would help, the rest would've contributed to us staying at the bottom on the ladder.

 

[Scoooby]

I'm sick of these tabloid articles. Most of the players in that team are barely FG standard. You could make a list of players like that from every club. Including Melbourne and Penrith etc..

The agenda they have with Gus is so unhealthy. It's gotten to be scary and obsessive.. These journos are a plague on the NRL that should be called out the way the Bulldogs coach in the AFL that looks like Chopper called the journo out..

As do I, hence I skip em and just read all your guys feedback lol, less painful that way, saves alot of time too
