Why Are Newcastle So Crap?

[T-Boon]

Bulldogs have taken upper hunter and mid north coast too.

This is exactly what Wests (Knights owners) need to be spending their pokie money on - but they are tight as a fishes asshole

Examples?

What?

Bulldogs have taken Group 21 juniors - https://www.facebook.com/@Group21JRL/?locale=pl_PL
Bulldogs have taken North Coast juniors - https://www.facebook.com/p/North-Coast-Bulldogs-Rugby-League-100076903337589/

Gus has a go at the Knights for not bringing their juniors through, doesn't mention the Dogs took half of them (and the Roosters another 1/4) while the Knights were NRL run and had no money. It is absolutely outrageous and needs to be fixed.

I believe that the Roosters also took the central coast while we were NRL run.

Also lmao if Gus had a go at the Knights for not bringing juniors through.

You must have responded while I was editing.

Yes it’s disgusting and should be fixed. wests need to grow a pair.

I’ll predict a 25k crowd in newcastl today. Lots of NZ fans here.

Knights with a number of players out and a less than ideal prep for the match turned up today. Didn’t win but it was close. Obviously there are a number of players still with drive to win

We’ve been good the last 6 weeks against good opposition. Our balls start to the season with a soft draw is why we’re so low on the ladder. Play with the effort we have recently all year long and we’d of won 2 or 3 more games and been in the hunt for the 8.

The other 16 blokes ruined the greatest moment of Cogger's career.

Under rated reason is the influence of Joey a d the other old boys.

It's a bit rich of him to comment on junior development when he acted like Tex Hoy was the next coming of Billy Slater and Fletcher Sharpe was one of the best prospects in the NRL

To be fair this is the guy that had a hard on for Luke Brooks for years .

Sharpe looks legit

Solid first grader, but Johns acts like he is origin material.

Attitude has never been our issue. More the lack of skill and brains (although tbf injuries haven’t helped).

Well he would be 100% right about that.

Joey thinks every player is the greatest player he's ever seen. I wouldn't reach too much into it.

I read this much into it: he is your greatest ever a of influential with the other old boys and long term club officials. Some of his team mates are in management or board or coaching positions within the Knights. Joey's thoughts are therefore influential, even if it's an undercurrent.

What? There are zero of his teammates on the board or in management positions. Danny Buderus has a few bit part jobs at the club that he does part time with another job but nothing with any influence.

Joey makes calls all the time in the media about who should get selected but the club pay zero attention to it. If it were up to Joey our main half the last 2 years would have been Will Pryce lol.

hat might be true today, but I am speaking over 20 years of consistently poor results. At times Harragon, Hughes and Gidley for starters have had significant roles at the club. I'm also sure plenty of non players that Joey has connections with have been involved too.

You missed the certain try Cockger bombed earlier and the many many dud options he took during the game

Knights win the game if literally anyone else played halfback yesterday

The club has basically moved on all the local duds Joey has talked up so you're really off the mark here. People indulge Joey publicly because of who he is and what he's done but in reality they know he's an overly emotional baby when it comes to footy and player opinions and rarely act on his "advice"
