Sad for Crichton. I don’t know if it’s “huge” or “shattering” news for the Dogs though

Milner-skudder would be a nice addition.. it's time for steve hansen to get in someone's ear.. surely there are talented rugby players like him who are missing out on all blacks selection and could be persuaded to join
he played for the Bulldogs in the toyota cup and didnt set the world on fire when he did

So, is this a freak injury, or what all the Manly/ Titans fans were warning us about with Ferris training regimen?

You’d think dwz and meany wing now
I'd honestly start Katoa over Meaney, kid doesn't look scared everytime he gets near the sideline like Meaney.

Any evidence or just conjecture?
How am I going to get evidence? Lol. All I'm saying is both clubs sustained a lot of training injuries under him and payers burned out. Both clubs fans were happy to see him go with many of their insiders claiming that he overworked/mismanaged players.

We're now a month or so into preseason and there is already a season ending injury...we don't know how it happened and it's entirely possible it's completely unrelated...but it's something to keep an eye on.

There’s a reason why the term ‘Dan Ferris Curse’ is an actual thing in rugby league.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but manly have a terrible record with injuries regardless of who the trainer is, even this season just gone, they had a lot of injuries..

I'm pretty sure the surface at crookvale doesn't help.. I remember a lot of players suffering acl's on that oval a few years ago..

There’s obviously a reason why his arms are so big and his legs aren’t strong enough
