Yeah it was me. I didn't even realise I had been included in the letters section until I read it.
The bloke I was referring to said that we take all the Dragons players and that if we (Dogs fans) want to whinge about loosing guys like Price, O'Meley etc than we should think about the players we've brought (Patten, Anasta etc) :rolleyes:
The full letter I sent them is actually got more to it, but they obviously edited it. The full letter is:
In response to Paul Jones, who was the letter of the week winner in the May 16th edition of RLW, I would like to point out a few facts. The Bulldogs are a club that are known for producing great talent or buying young and producing internationals and rep players. You have mentioned that the Bulldogs brought Andrew Ryan, Luke Patten, Daryl Millard, Braith Anasta and Mark O'Meley but what you failed to mention is a very important point. All of those players where brought early in their careers. Andrew Ryan was our last big name signing and he was brought after only 1 Origin game and we developed him into something bigger than he was at Parramatta- an International. The other players you mentioned had only played a handful of First Grade games before joining the Bulldogs and we have turned them into the internationals that they are today (excluding Patten and Millard)
So I ask you this. Simply get your facts right before complaining that Bulldogs fans have to sit through the heart aches of loosing another one of our developed internationals because of a ridiculous salary cap and that if you are going to accuse us of buying players from other clubs, realise that we don't buy already developed international or rep players - we buy young and make them.
