Yes but not jeopardising 2 points.

Trial games fair enough.

You reckon we win if we played this elsewhere?? Lol

We love to reach for any excuse under the sun.

I would of thought Belmore would of been perfect for the Cowboys game.

99.5% of the crowd would of been all us.

True but I'm talking about gaining a true home game feel.

I'd play NQLD, Storm, Titans, NZ, Knights and Raiders at Belmore

I'd add the Knoughts to that list.

Always a Bulldog

No of course not silly...I am talking about the principle of giving away home games!

"Jeopardising" is not saying we win all those games! Try some comprehension.

 

[wendog33]

People thinking playing in bundaberg cost us the win lol we played average and had some bad calls

Haven't seen anyone say Bundaberg cost us the win tho.

I'm not sure that it didn't. If you take the whole 80 minutes, they were a bit better than us, but we were better than them early on. Was our decline just the natural ebb and flow of the game, or was it due to the amount of defence we had to do because of all the bad calls?

Try some realism.
We could have played at Roberts Park in front of the alamadeines during origin period and cowboys still beat us. We aren’t that good yet.

We all know that there is very little chance we would have won. That's not the issue we are discussing. It's giving up a home game and playing it in Qld against a Qld team.

Same ol same ol. No matter where we play

When we played at Belmore this year I thought that was a real turning point for us.
You could tell the players were more frustrated than usual and they lifted the intensity to match the crowd.

The next home game 2 weeks later we flattened the Eels

Please no
Just no.
I am sick of watching our once proud mighty club demoralised at belmore.

No more belmore games until we are a top 4 team winning more games than losing.
Then, and only then will I support games on our sacred soil at belmore.

Good point. The team has improved. There is comraderie and trust and they have bonded well since Mick came in.

Now is the time to build Fortress Belmore again or at least regain some respect (and success) for the history of our home ground.

Yeah but no more Baz so it might of been a better result

I don't know if we would have won elsewhere eg at Olympic Park - probably not - but we were absolutely at a disadvantage playing our "home" game in Bundaberg - in the opposition's back yard, temperatures way above what the Bulldogs players were accustomed to in Sydney (but the Cowboys players were used to), travelling well over 1000km to play our own home game etc

Agree, even if they play the game in Bundaberg why pick the cowboys to play there. That should be a game played against someone like Canberra.
