Why are we playing our "home" game at Salter Oval next week vs The Dolphins?

You'd think with us struggling the past few seasons that we'd want as many home games at our stadiums as possible. So to move one of them to Queensland when we already lost one to Magic Round this season seems like a bad decision.
I believe the decision was made in the off season, it was supposedly a way for The Bulldogs to connect with one of our junior pathway regions, who would have thought we would be in this situation.

1. It was a dumb decision to make, even back then.
2. If you're going to play a game there you don't do it against a QLD team.

I agree...
I don't know how it works, maybe costs of taking other teams there is the problem.

Don't we have a 3 season deal for Bundaberg?

Board member of the Bulldogs, Andrew Gifford still lives there I believe.

We made a deal 2 years ago to take a game there for 3 years. The issue is that we play a QLD team when we do it (Cows last year, Phins this year). Theres a fair few Bulldogs supporters in Bundy, the game last year was close to 50/50 which is pretty insane considering where it was played and against who.

Do people not realise we can’t fucking play at Accor this weekend. The WWC has all the main stadiums blocked out. All teams are taking games regional.

I think I'm one of the few who thinks it's a good idea regardless. Even if we could play at accor this weekend the crowd would be shit. May as well take it on the road

It’s all about money, and the club setting up pathways for juniors. People want the club to play these games at Belmore, and I understand that, but Belmore is a shit hole. We always lose there. Why not take games on the road and get money and putting roots down in the area.

Don't all teams take a home game to a regional area ?

I expect this to be a very winnable game on paper. But I'll be backing Wallace, Isaako and Hammer to score against us

Its clear we got the wrong Penrith assistant.. CC is clueless..hes so far out of his depth its embarrassing the club is going backwards faster than Gus's lies he peddles every week..
why are we chasing Luai? he's not worth $1m when we have SEXBOMB who is a genuine 7 and on a bargain deal? horrific recruitment.. we need middles and more middles.. why would Haas even bother coming to this trainwreck? we couldnt even attract Hame Sele.. NO FUTURE at the Dogs with Gus in charge..
