Lol @ Souffs

[BUDDY]

They have become totally shiit without all the penalties getting them out of trouble. The change in their fortunes in that regard is a bigger loss than Burgess and Te'o.

During the Maguire years.

2012 - 154 penalties (27 games) - Average 5.7
2013 - 167 penalties (26 games) - Average 6.42
2014 - 219 penalties (27 games) - Average 8.11
2015 - 148 penalties (22 games) - Average 6.73

At the same time last year they received 192 penalties. That's 44 more than this year.

Between 2012 and 2015 our average is 5.60 with our best year being 2013 where we received 162 penalties in 27 games (average 6.0).

Goes to show the aberration of 2014.

After they messed up the two years before the refs had to go above and beyond to get them over the line.

Totally agree that Robbo has done a great job with what he's had but smooth seas don't make great sailors. Robbo will be judged when our roster isn't as rich as it is now. Hard to see it but the salary cap will ensure that time will come which is why we need to make the most of what we have. 3 minor premierships and 2 premierships in 3 seasons sounds good to me.

It's coming next year.

Doesn't stop them throwing their arms up Manly-style in every play the ball.

The fever the NRL reached to give them a premiership last season was amazing. Comparing the penalties with ours is only the tip of the iceberg.

Little known fact. When Souffs beat us in the final Greenberg and Smith actually did a high five at the end of the game. Disgusting.

Is there any footage of this? I'd love to see it.

No mate. Spotted by a rooster with a very long memory.

Did i see Cordner semi dive/milk a penalty on Friday night?

It was clearly a penalty however there may have been a touch NIDA in his reaction.

Maybe. But that was not staying down for a penalty. Totally different.

Greenturd and Smith with high 5s after the vermin best us how despicable - these pricks may want a sharks vs cowgirls final a marketing dream due to both not winning a premiership and a Sydney vs Qld club.

I loved it.

It made me laugh.

There was also the "call any Burgess dropped ball a strip automatically " rule which helped them tremendously.

Burge$$ could also basically hit any opposition player any where he wanted (eg his hit on SBW that should have led him to miss the GF).
This was no much the case that he said in front of a friend of mine in a social situation that he knew he could get away with almost anything.

And he should have gone off with concussion in the first tackle of the GF. He even said after the game that he could barely remember it. But all we got from the NRL is crickets.

And whilst on the GF, what a disgrace that was. The bell being rung by someone who votes on the Clive Churchill Medal. In fact, the bell alone was a big enough disgrace. Their fuucking Glory Glory Song playing for ages when the players came out. The Red and White lights all down the tunnel when the Dogs players came out. It was like a Souffs home game. The whole thing was an outrage.

It's also remarkable that the media fascination with Julie Burgess seems to have ended as soon as they lifted that tainted trophy.

Johnny Tobin - you raise some telling facts re the gf vermin win - I will raise this which most fans have overlooked. Prior the inception of the Clive Churchill medal the best player on GF day was awarded the Dave Brown medal.

I've never seen anything like it.

It was one big farking $ouffs disgusting fan day. The lack of respect that the NRL showed to the Bulldogs beggars belief.

A hooker at 6am and after working the streets all night has more class than what the NRL displayed on that day.

I can't begin to tell you how much alcohol i consumed that night and into the next day in a melancholic state of mind.
