Tony Williams better positioned as Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs demolition man

[Tegga]

About 3 people didn't play crap in the 9s, Williams wasn't the only one under performing and It's the 9s take notice of how he performs in actual trials and games that matter

Is she-dud contracted till the end of this season or next season?

 

[GrogDog]

Think its next year. 9's comp should have been the perfect style of footy for a bloke like she-rex.

The only problem the dogs look like they were trying to play 13 a side

 

[billybob]

If he keeps up the same rubbish he showed today which is no different to the rubbish he dished up last season hopefully he gets a tap on the shoulder and told to look elsewhere for next season.

To me they looked like last years team which is a really bad thought.

He used to be a winger, he should of performed well in the 9s. We will see come round one though

He used to be, meaning was moved for a reason and he's also had a pretty serious back injury, he isn't suited to 9s with the way we play, we haven't been playing 9s footy we've been playing 13 a side footy with 9 players

 

[Slick]

He had some good touches in last weekends trial. Give the guy a break. It's a nothing 9's comp

The whole team has trained well in the offseason. Des has smashed them and they are a lot fitter this year.

Agreed.

 

[The DoggFather]

I know the 9's is a bullshit tournament but ffs Barney is in his element here, players like him should dominate, not be dominated. If he struggles against 9 opposition players, what's he going to do against 13?

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Why cant people just accept the fact the club did not give a shit about the 9s, des didnt, therefore the players didnt. Why would they put in any effort?

I cant say anything about the other players but If I were Barney, I would of used this to make a statement, surely he knows everyone thinks he is a dud.

I guess we have to wait till rd1 to see if its Barney or T-Rex this season.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

True. Only a couple weeks away.

 

[blueyedsamurai]

Is this his last year on his contract?

No only 2 years into 4 year contract but the board wont cop another year like last year

 

[Hacky McAxe]

It's obvious the club didn't care about the nines but do you think they approached Barney and said "Go out there, miss 50% of your tackles and let in a few tries, OK"?

There's not caring and then there's crap.

 

[Papa Emeritus]

He looks fitter but is still mostly useless. Very disappointed.

Very good point

Yeah but all that money is locked into the dogs salary cap unless they can find to pay Trex something. Just like the west tigers are stuck with Adam Blair.
