Nostalgia is a funny thing, our 2006 Bulldogs pack would easily put our current Bulldogs pack to shame. If I had to choose 1 word to describe players like Mark O'Mealy, Roy Asotasi, Willie Mason etc...etc... that word would be RUTHLESS :grinning: Today's Bulldogs forwards need to watch this video. The NRL was more exciting to watch back in those days. Today too many new rules and penalties has sissified this great game of ours.

When you showed me this video earlier, it was the best thing I have ever seen. I wish our current players would be as ruthless as these blokes. I just watched a video of Sam Thaiday talking to Beau Ryan on the NRL footy show, a clip on youtube. He was describing his debut game vs the dogs. His words were "First run I did, I ran straight towards Mark O'Mealy, that was a dumb decision. Absolutely axed me. My second run, straight again at Mark O'Mealy, got axed again. Ended up injured. I got filthy about it but he made me more hungry."

Understanding what they were like and Thaiday describing one of our forwards like that is the true meaning of Dogs of War.

Great post mate, thumbs up. :grinning: Just watched the clip you mentioned. It bought a smile to my lips.

We dont have the cattle , not upfront, not in the spine and not out back... Pay is being given the chance to build his squad..

If the coach & club make great decisions re recruitment & who to pick and stick with we can start to fire in 2020 if not who knows how long it will take for us to get back up..

Next year is ok, 2020 is the scary season regarding our cap and the most challenging. Pay or no Pay, I feel sorry for our next coach in 2020 if Pay doesn’t get re-signed. Our next coach is going to cop a hammering on the kennel by the coaching critics on here. 2020 is the year where the back ended contracts reach their highest.

Dognacious don’t take life so seriously, it isn’t permanent. Besides talk is cheap because supply always exceeds demand.

But but but there's still 6 rounds to go, miracles can happen people :tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy:

On a serious note, at least we should get a win next week, it's the Eels after all

Omealy leads the way in that pack and to a man the whole team rips in that’s the difference the shot from Hughes is my favourite

We can still do it.
If one of 6-8 lose all of their games and 9-13 don’t win too many more, and we win all of ours, we might get in on F/A.
Lol.

this has been scientifically tested tbh, like take the example of josh miller


that is a good hit, lets take a look at another


hmm this miller guy is pretty tough, now lets see him do the same move on o meley


conclusion, o meley was a beast ffs


even if miller gets his best shot in he is down
