3- Matt Utai scoring to win against the Roosters. Scores were locked up at 26-all and he did his famous "Utai Slam" in the corner to win the game

[DOGG STIEL]

The 1998 finals series is my fondest memory. In the week leading up to the Parra semi the media was saying the Bulldogs are too fatigued and they wouldnt be able to beat the Eels, Folkes responded by saying "Fatigue is just a state of mind". During the television coverage of the match when Parra was leading 18-2, Sterlo thought it was an oportune time to let rip at Steve Folkes and repeated the quote that Folkes had made. Sterlo thought he was safe because the Eels were ahead 18-2. 20 mins later Sterlo was made to eat Humble pie. In fact Steve Folkes shuved the Humble Pie up his tiny arse ! HAHAHA i will always remember this

Seeing these footage and seeing our team today makes me depressed.

 

[Haztrick]

I'll never forget how good he was with the media and some of the stuff he said including when he publicly criticised Peter Holmes-a-court and called him "Peter Holmes-a-hyphen'

When Folkes *****slapped Trent Barrett on the sidelines...

..oh wait a minute

I will always respect Steven Folkes for his dignity in coaching, his ability to identify talent, and desire to do what was best for the CLUB, which included letting soap actresses leave the club because he believed it would be for the longterm gain.

Fave Folkes moments (in no order)

- the way he led the club through the salary cap scandal of 2002
- when asked what his game plan for the Broncos in the 98 gf would be, he responded "I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you"
- Making the boys celebrate the achievement in getting to the GF in 98 despite losing...the only time I've left a gf not entirely devastated...I was more upset when Rickys brain explosion in 99 cost us the chance to go on
- Getting the ****s with Gallop for what he considered to be his lack of support during the **** they had to deal with in early 04
- Giving Pricey every opportunity to know within himself that he had tried everything to get to the 04 gf.
- not getting into a slanging match with mason last year...I'd love to see Folkes in his playing days against Mason...he would have 'taken mason to school'...in fact he probably still could.

When the salary cap broke out we we're scheduled to play Canberra away and they refused ro play us at first. At a press conference at Belmore, before we lost all the points, Folkes said "I don't blame them for not wanting to play us. We're coming first and they're coming where???"

 

[Kane 'em]

I love the way Folkesy deals with the media. Such a cick sunt!

 

[B-Train]

My favourite personal Folkes moment was his criticism of a deplorable Simpkins after his appaling refereeing performance when we played the Cowboys last year, you know, where he was being as sarcastic as ever:

"If you want a ref who can give you a one way penalty count heavily in favour of the home team then he's your man."

That was classic Folkesy.

My favourite team/ coaching moment would definately be the 98 GF qualifier comeback against the Eels, and of course 2004 against the Roosters.

 

[wogdog]

i would say the way he handled both the salary cap and central coast scandals was fantastic
