Side back then was much worse. Felt sorry for Folkes that he got the sack after that season.

EDIT: In saying that they had a lot of heart back then. Although we had cricket score put on us at the end there, we still were able to score some points.

Would take tim winitana, heka nanai, over kerrod holland , Montoya

 

[ash160]

That side would beat current side imo

 

[Dingo]

SBW tore the heart out of that 2008 side when he did the runner. With him 2008 is better.

What an awful selection dilemma to have

SBW would just about beat current side on his own

 

[Trafford10]

My head hurts just thinking about it!!

Pretty much. Add him to either team and he tips the balance.

 

[Spoonman84]

Give the current team Folkes as coach and they win easily if SBW has already left the 08 side.

Gary Warburton vs Adam Elliott at lock would rock the foundations of the stadium!

Oh the pain, having convulsions, it can't go on.

 

[Scoooby]

Stop prefer the 2008 team, had more heart than this lot !! Excluding sbw of corse.

 

[Moedogg]

08 at their prime would still have enough talent to put 50 points on the 2019 squad.

Patten
El Masri
Roberts
Tonga
Utai
Barba
Holdsworth
Hickey
Hughes
Armit
Ryan
Warburton
Maitua

Several individual players in that 2008 team were better than anyone in 2019, as some were iconic team players for the club with a bit of x-factor eg Patton, Haz etc.

That 2008 team also had several of the least talented also to ever play for us.

Overall because this 2019 team offers so little, I'm going for 2008 as the better team.

For real I’d rather Warburton cause he is actually quiet unlike elliot who talks shit, my little brother who’s 12 message him saying he loves him and the bulldogs and he read it and didn’t even say thanks or cheers, little things like Thst make me be off him, **** is shit offers nothing to us

elliots love of having his head in front of cameras makes him that much more easy to criticise - full of shit off and on the field. not a first grade standard player

Ben barba wasnt playing 1st grade in 2008

He debuted the week after SBW left from memory. A few weeks before Folkesy called people on the Kennel niff nuffs for wanting him selected haha.
