Cotric and Trent B are in the fetal position as we speak!
While I wholeheartedly agree, I'd hope that the club is seeking someone whos simply "not as bad as Lewis"Couldn’t be as bad as Lewis.
Great post!Townsend is a very underrated yet smart and experienced half, and organises his forwards and backs very well, have always rated him and he is exactly what we need going forward. All our halves are way too young and inexperienced to win even the tightest of games and our only experienced half only plays 10 games a season, it’s a no brainer really. We are doing our young and up and coming halves an injustice by placing them side by side in a game and actually expect them to produce a result, we need experience, even if only for a couple of seasons whilst our young halves are maturing. Townsend brings so much to the table and he can also teach our young players how to behave themselves off the field and instil some family values at the same time. Use your brains Dogs fans, he is a big yes for me!
Well that's one locked in and the other one played his best footy when he lead and Avo played outside him.. surely they play them again..Averillo - yes
Gus has his fair share of faults, but he knows this game, is connected to the people mentally and is a good operator. I'd love him at the dogs.I'm not really a fan of Gus, but the way that Rothfield uses his columns to constantly throw mud at Gus is terrible.
I know we are not in a very good position at the moment, but by mentioning our sponsorship just shows dopefield is clutching on straws.Had to throw in the part about the sponsor haha what a fuckwit honestly
I think its somewhere in the bulldogs page mate.Bulldogs targeting Chad Townsend....in today's Terrorgraph with the drunk.
If someone can post it....
Not sure signing a real halfback will fit our style, unless we plan on playing him in the backrow to accommodate LewisWord is Mitchell Pearce wants out of Newcastle and a return to Sydney with the Naughts firming to release him if they fail to fire a shot in the finals. Him and Napa are still mates and Big Papi has been pushing your barrow. Would you guys show any interest in him?

There have been some great acts of sportsmanship and kindness in the NRL this year.
On Friday night we saw Parramatta second-rower Ryan Matterson go to the aid of opposition player Apisai Koroisau when he was heavily concussed.
Matterson stayed with the Penrith hooker until the medicos got to him.
There was another really touching moment in Wollongong at full-time in the Raiders-Dragons game.

There is not a better person in the game than Raiders centre Jarrod Croker.
He picked up the football at the end of play, delivered it to the Dragons’ debutant winger Cody Ramsey and said just four words: “Congratulations mate – well played.”
It shows that despite all the hostility, aggression and brutality we see every week in the heat of battle the combatants have enormous respect for each other.
There was another nice touch with Croker in Wollongong.
Before the game when he was practising his goal-kicking, one of his shots went over the fence and hit a six-year-old boy in the face.
He raced over to check and it turned out that it was the son of former Dragons forward Ben Creagh.
After the game Croker made a beeline for the youngster and gave him his headgear.
HIGHLIGHT
You’ve gotta love great comeback stories. Two guys who were down and out last year – the Raiders’ Hudson Young and the Titans’ Ash Taylor – had blinders over the weekend.

LOWLIGHT
The decision by bunker official Jared ‘Horse’ Maxwell to disallow a perfectly legitimate try to Roosters middle forward Lindsay Collins at the SCG on Saturday night, ruling an obstruction. Fortunately the Roosters were well ahead and it had no bearing on the result. If the same thing happens in a tight game during the finals, it could cost a club their season.
GUS’ BUNKER BLOW-UP
It was an incorrect call but some of the criticism of the decision was way over the top and out of order. Gus Gould said on Twitter: “What an absurd decision. Absolutely ridiculous. Referees and bunker have absolutely no idea. They create issues that don’t exist. That is disgraceful.” And this is the man Peter V’landys wanted to hire as a highly paid consultant. V’landys hates referee bashing.

SPONSOR GAFFE
The Canterbury Bulldogs jersey sponsorship with the Laundy Hotel Group is probably the worst in the game. They don’t get anything this year. Not a cent. No money until next year.
SHOOSH
We’re hearing there may be interest at Canterbury for suspended Cronulla Sharks halfback Chad Townsend. Townsend won a premiership in 2016 but hasn’t set the world on fire since.

Cody Ramsey celebrates scoring his second try on debut. Picture: Matt King/Getty
About 40 mates of St George Illawarra debutant Cody Ramsay cleaned up on first tryscorer bets when the young winger dived over in the fourth minute. They each had $100 on the rookie at $14. It was such an avalanche that his price firmed to $10 by kick-off time.
CLEARY COACH OF THE YEAR
Surely the Dally M coach of the year award is all but decided.
Penrith Panthers coach Ivan Cleary is six lengths ahead of any of his rivals.
This will be a major embarrassment for the club’s former general manager of football Phil Gould.
In 2015 Gus sacked Cleary as head coach.
The position became available again when Gould sacked Anthony Griffin.
Gus didn’t want Cleary back. It was left to chairman Dave O’Neill to do the deal while the general manager was off trying to entice Wayne Bennett to the club.
