Ennis’ all-time Bulldogs team

[craigo]

What a knuckle head for even mentioning josh Reynolds in a best ever bulldogs team.

 

[Scorpio]

SBW deserves to be in that team - although he dogged us
Mason deserves to be in there also
And.............. Ben Barba (based on his 2012 form (he was untouchable - i can watch his highlights over and over again and not get bored - this guy could have been anything if it wasn't for his off field dramas)

 

[Alexander the Great]

He was taking care of him mate on that.

You're right. At my age, memories become entangled. I just Googled him, and he coached us after he stopped playing. In fact, he only played 14 games for the Dogs.

I think the record Gus might still have (not sure if beaten now) is being the youngest coach to win a first grade title. He was 30 when we took down the Tigers in the 1988 GF - pretty young for that role.

Backs are good, but I would pick Utai or Gearin ahead of Josh Morris. Forwards should include Folkes and McCarthy in starting side. Andrew Ryan no where near top 3 forward packs. Great bloke, though. Lock is difficult because it is basically a third prop these days. I'd go for an outsider: Mark Hughes. Originally a silky skilled centre who played for NSW before SOO when the NSW side was the best of the best, he was given a lifeline as a lock by Glossop. He was very, very good in 79 and 80.
I would go: Johns El Masri C Mortimer, Farrar, Utai, Lamb, Mortimer, M Hughes, McCarthy, Folkes, Price, Peponis, Kelly. Reserves: Sherwin, Mason, K. Ryan, G Robinson. My best team 1967 to 2020: I have not considered any player who you can not capture on video.

 

[vegny]

At least he didnt pick his fox colleague braith

 

[Phalangist]

I think Morris has a right to be in the convo

Vagana was better then Morris

so you talk about Morris you must talk about vagana

 

[Phalangist]

dallas also kicked 0 goals compared to el masri's 891

So

 

[Phalangist]

wtf brett dallas only scores 18 tries for the bulldogs

el masri scored 159 tries

next please

Are we picking the highest point scorer or highest try scorer or highest amount of games?

Or are we picking purely on playing ability ?

becauE Brett Dallas was our best winger hands down elmasri on ability doesn’t come close to Dallas.

 

[Phalangist]

People forget about how good he was. Played 15 Origin games and 6 tests. Our best centre/wing every season for the 10 years that he was here.

Thats a load of shit

he was solid and that’s it

his first couple of years he was great but so was Ben Roberts

 

[Phalangist]

He was taking care of him mate on that.

Agree he wasn’t being true to the fans he was taking care of mates with some inclusions especially mentioning renoylds the goose

From memory he holds two "youngest" NRL records, youngest captain of an NRL team at 20 (maybe Dave Brown back in the 30's was younger) and youngest premiership winning coach.

Go Dogs

ability and production, el masri wins in both situations, the master of finding a try and stopping an opposition try

if he was our best winger of all time then why did he only score 18 tries for us? el masri scored more in 1 season and scored the grand final winner

we also won many games simply because el masri's superior goal kicking ability

dallas was in and out of the side and played his best football elsewhere, id have utai before him

You're full of shit. He would come close to making the NRL team of the decade.

You have no idea mate.

how many games did elmasri play for Australia

how many games did Brett Dallas play for Australia?

first winger picked

first winger picked

el masri wins in that argument as well because dallas didn't really play for Australia, you are counting his games for fake Australia and should apologise immediately

real representative honours

state of origin
el masri 1-1 dallas

australia
el masri 1-0 dallas
