A culture of caution

[Guest]

The funny thing is I think you might be trying to act serious... you realise that the Parra game was halfway through the season... maybe he picked up the Jack Gibson medal for playing half a season or the Player's player for playing half a season... in answer to your question yes he has put in plenty of performances since then to warrant selection in the top 40.

Anasta hasn't done anything this year to warrant NSW selection.

Same can be said for the bulldogs and all their brisbane imports.........

Look the quality of person that recruited. Can you same about the quality of people the Roosters got from Canterbury except for Anderson? The Bulldogs got lucky with Stagg as he only came when Maitua was sacked and he's turned out to be a gem. Even luckier with Eastwood and his Visa issue.

The Bulldogs lost Darren Smith, Paul Rauhihi, Darrell Trindall, Brett Howland (didn't come that cheap), Nigel Vagana, Willie Talau, Travis Norton, Steve Reardon, Glenn Hall, Todd Polglase, Shane Marteene.

Those guys would lap your current team twice, the 11 of them wouldn't even need 2 more players to do it.

Only twice.....but yet the dogs were able to win a premiership without them ? How are those guys going now are any of them still playing other than Hall who is on his way to england next season

Tricky would still be playing for a jail side somewhere I guess

Since when has that been a criteria for blues selection ? I thought you just had to play for the Storm or Newcastle and you were halfway there

Massive losses compared to the roster you had 2002-05

Funny you should mention Tricky. I played Oz Tag against his son once and one of our blokes accidentally put a shoulder into him. Tricky thought he'd take matters into his own hands by running on and picking my mate.

Quality individual Tricky.

You keep dodging the issue - as I said, you've got nothing.
Should we call your team the brisbane bulldogs or the canterbury-bankstown broncos?

Turn it up will you? Since when did being in the top 40 in NSW mean NSW selection... don't put words into my mouth.

lol

I'd go back to some tradition with Belmore Broncos

[Guest]

Who !!!!............

Darren Smith is the second best player the Bulldogs have had since the 80's era IMO after Terry Lamb. Hazem El Masri is 3rd.

Do you think Anasta should have been named in the 40? His form better than Campese or Sutton?

No I haven't avoided it at all. We signed Ennis and Hannant as they were on the market and then signed Stagg and Eastwood. It wasn't a calculated raid and in fact signed Eastwood from Leeds to be technical. The Bulldogs just didn't target players willy nilly. They were the best players for the positions they needed to strengthen up in. They were signed from a good part of the Broncos culture. If we signed from the other culture then you have a very good point, eg, Hunt, etc.

Next question.
