Josh Dugan

In case anyone was wondering where he's ended up...

They must sell Pineapple Bacardi Breezers cheap in Orange.

I wasn't wondering but what a big signing.
For Dugan, that is.

Lol.

I met Dugan probably 6 weeks ago and he’s actually a great bloke, very humble and down to earth. I know he cops a hell of a lot of shit and probably for good reason but he’s actually a nice bloke.

Good news for bush footy. Love hearing NRL players turning out in local comps after there heyday

Saw the interview a few years ago when he talked about a terminally ill little boy that he had struck up a close friendship with who sadly passed. Thought at the time that he seemed like a pretty good fella.

It can go either way really.

When i was a kid growing up in Group 20, occasionally an ex NSWRL player would come to one of the local clubs as their career faded, sometimes in a fulltime captain/coach type role, or otherwise as a player and a local sponsor would assist with a job. Sometimes it would be a player who never quite made in the the top league, but still had plenty to offer a bush team.

Some really embraced the communities and were great, some were possibly still bitter about their best being behind them, and i think there was at least one who got in some serious trouble with the law.

The most memorable was Kerry Hemsley, who played at the club i follow as a kid (Yanco Wamoon Hawks) after his stint at Balmain, still with the flowing locks and mo. i think he was even even due to be a guest at the club's 50th anniversary function that got postponed last year due to covid.

Hopefully Doogs is a positive for Orange.

Latest of the Doogs... he was probably copping shit from opposition players and fans all season.

Aww this changes my perspective entirely. We should sign him. Rockstar fullback

Huh, he got a diploma in counselling, good for him. Maybe he is low on clients and was trying to make new ones?

 

[Malla]

That happens every week in country bumpkin footy
Who cares lol

I remember Shrek O'meley saying something about the negatives of playing park/bush footy. Ex NRL players are obvious targets and everyone wants to make a name for themselves by putting one on you.
