Bred Not Bought...

[LRC]

The other irony is that the players that were supposedly bred, such as Anasta and Mason were highly sort after developing talent, and it was only due to the Oasis scandal that they managed to purchase them ahead of other clubs.

 

[bubblesunlimited]

Honestly, this is ridiculous.

Name one club that does not buy purchase players from outside its junior ranks to bolster and improve its playing roster.

What a load of crap.

Every club does it, EVERY CLUB does it.

Simple.

Yes, a simple fact that was lost on Dogs fans less than a year ago when they were running last.

Some clubs do it far more then others though. Bulldogs are one of those clubs, and yet they are the ones responsible for this wonderful quote.

You're not giving the facts at all. It's simple to say a one line quote like that, which is technically true, but which isn't entirely true.

As I said, yeah the quote was made up by the old, and I stress OLD, management over a year ago when we had no signings, when we had an old CEO, old coach, old staff and $1 million under the cap with more to walk out.

 

[Alex28]

I don't get all the bitterness against the Bulldogs very astute purchases. Jealousy?

Good on them. Not the biggest fan of the Dogs but you have to give them credit. They have bought astoundingly well over the last few seasons.

 

[OVP]

When in the hell are people going to get over the stupid "Bred not Bought" slogan that our OLD management came up with as a publicity stunt for a round 4 match over a year ago?

Never. We are Never going to get over it ... the unbridled hypocrisy of it all :lol:

Bred not Bought :lol:

 

[Timmah]

:lol:

Another bred not bought argument :crazy:

This argument's been done and done again on here and we all know the truth. A marketing campaign last year to get a good crowd and sell some shirts. At the time, yeah, a shot at a Roosters club who signed 5 of our most recognised players.

Deadset... some people need to move on :lol:

 

[Game_Breaker]

Good marketing, people are still talking about it over a year later

Dont worry Tim. Your new sparkling-clean image doesnt fool me. You'll ALWAYS be the Dirty Dogs to me. You can take the bulldog out of Bankstown, but you can never take the Bankstown out of the bulldog

 

[TimmyB]

FFS.

Yes the phrase was just a marketing campaign and a jibe at the roosters. This thread is a return jibe. Nothing more.

 

[dubopov]

I've been wondering why Shellharbour are sh*thouse, Any reggies side would be better with the likes of Patten, Morris, Millard, Holdsworth, Te Maari and Leano to bolster their ranks. And now Paea.

 

[The Dodger]

lol @ bulldogs fans

they can give but can't take.

bought not bred.

 

[ByRd]

oh well, when other fans are hating you know you must be doing something good

 

[adamkungl]

lol @ bulldogs fans

they can give but can't take.

bought not bred.

exactly. they stood by the slogan when they were sh*t and some players got poached, but when they do the same thing they bring out "every club signs players". hypocrittttttttttttttttttttttes.

 

[STG-Dragon]

You came dead last last season and I hated the dogs just the same as I do now, what did you do good last season???

 

[Tom Ace]

When in the hell are people going to get over the stupid "Bred not Bought" slogan that our OLD management came up with as a publicity stunt for a round 4 match over a year ago? Get over it. We all know the slogan was to draw crowds and make money and we did that with a 40k+ crowd and a sh*t load of merchandise sales.

When a team like Canterbury loses well over $2 million worth of talent over a couple of years (O'Meley, Asotasi, Mason, Money Bill, Sherwin, Hughes, Maitua, Tonga and so on) what do you expect the club to do? We had and still do have a lot of money to spend under the cap. I believe last year when we signed the likes of Hannant, Kimmorley and Ennis we had a ridiculous amount of salary cap space, something like $1.4 million to fill.

The club have now made some nice, smart and cheap signings in Tia Kilifi, Paea and Green.. All probably depth signings and for under 100k.

Very smart management by arguably the best in the game in Todd Greenberg. Well done Bulldogs in making the smart decisions to take the club further and stronger over the next 5 years. *claps*

We expect your club not to be hypocrites and to stick to your bred not bought policy.

 

[Bulldogs_4_Life]

Wasn't a policy, it was a slogan. A money grabbing slogan.

And if people are still talking about it now then it must have been good. hahaha

 

[bulldog]

A damn good one, under their skin so much they can't let it go.

what did you do good last season???

We were pretty awesome at kick-offs.

 

[Timmah]

The difference between us and the Roosters is that when we "bought", we bought quality players that have us in a strong position to win the premiership.

You're currently hotly contesting the spoon with your "prime purchases".
