Perhaps you should get your facts straight.

 

[sting]

i didn't actually check, my friend did.

weird though cause we checked ticketek and the dogs site....

 

[Timmah]

The Bulldogs site is about to be changed over to streamline with 13/15 other club sites, hence why there may not be a Ticketek link on it at the moment.

Normally they have a link in the Next Game thing to Ticketek. But it's definitely on Ticketek.

Who O why is Koups not in there

 

[Timmah]

Warburton performed strongly during the trials.

You do know that X-Blades won't be across the front of our jersey right?

I am well aware of that Timmah... and I am also well aware that I do not want a bright Yellow sponsorship banner across there either

 

[Timmah]

Not your choice.

 

[Bulldog Force]

Not your choice.

Perhaps not - but my Avatar is my choice. TBH I would've preferred Fly Emirates as our sponsor but don't think we'll get that anytime soon.

 

[Bulldog Force]

That's nice This is the Bulldogs forum

Are you serious??? He can't estimate the team he thinks will challenge us guys? It's informative to us. FMD.

 

[woowoo]

Does anyone have any idea where benny barba will be used in this game?
Will he come off the bench for Ennis at hooker or will he be interchanged with benny roberts?
Interested to hear if any1 has any idea?

 

[Timmah]

I'd say more likely Roberts, but noone except Moore and the coaching staff know that...

 

[Timmah]

Unless a charge is laid (and possibly even if not), it's likely Stewart will play despite all the allegations.

No mate. I don't know why people keep saying that. He's not made for hooker.

Hope some of our fans from the Kennel don't run on the field if Hazam gets the record


At least wait till after the game

BULLFROG ARKO CUP
11th Mar 2009 @ 12:32am

The Bulldogs and Manly will celebrate the contributions of two of Rugby League’s greatest servants when they compete for the inaugural ‘Bullfrog Arko Cup’ at ANZ Stadium this Saturday 14 March in round one of the 2009 Telstra Premiership.

As administrators, Peter ‘Bullfrog’ Moore and Ken ‘Arko’ Arthurson were ahead of their time, driving forces in the success of two of the game’s most dominant clubs and their influence is still felt today. Peter Moore served as the Bulldogs Chief Executive from 1969 to 1995 and Ken Arthurson played, coached and administered for Manly Warringah for more than half a century, after joining the club in 1950.

Despite their natural rivalry the two stood as firm friends throughout their careers and Arko, who will attend Saturday night’s game to present the trophy, says he is pleased to celebrate the memory of his great mate who passed away in 2000.

“I am very honoured to be involved with this award together with my very good friend, the late Peter Moore,” Mr Athurson said.

“Bullfrog’s contribution to the Canterbury Bankstown club, and in fact to the sport of Rugby League itself, is immeasurable and the decision to have this trophy to perpetuate his memory reflects great credit on the Canterbury Bankstown club.”

Senior League historian Ian Heads described the Cup as a “fitting tribute” to men who will go down in history as two of the shrewdest and most successful administrators the game has ever seen.

“Bullfrog and Arko were very much soul brothers in the business of Rugby League. They were streetwise and knew the game and its workings inside out. Both were immensely loyal to their clubs and shared a deep love of the game,” Mr Heads said.

Current Bulldogs Chief Executive Mr Todd Greenberg says the two men are still held in great esteem by everyone involved with the Bulldogs and Manly.

“Both Bullfrog and Arko were ahead of their time. They had a great feel for the game and they understood footballers,” Mr Greenberg said.

“To this day the Bulldogs and Manly both still benefit from the foundations they laid. We felt it was only appropriate to regularly acknowledge their contributions by playing for this cup every time we meet.”

Manly Chief Executive Mr Grant Mayer says the cup will add to the great rivalry between the Clubs.

“The legacy of Bullfrog and Arko is still felt at both clubs. They were two highly competitive men and their influence will inspire all players as they challenge for this Cup.”

The Bulldogs will use the occasion to raise funds via gold coin donations at the game for the Peter Moore Memorial Sports Foundation which awards grants to talented athletes in the Canterbury Bankstown district.

Twelve year old Te Haumi Maxwell from the Revesby Workers Swim Club is the first athlete to benefit from the scholarship programme, with the Foundation providing him with a revolutionary underwater waterproof camera along with a television to assist him in his training programme.

Bullfrog first initiated scholarship programmes during the 1970s, with current Bulldogs Chairman Dr George Peponis one of the first to benefit. The scholarship programme allowed Dr Peponis to pursue his medical studies while going on to become the first ever Bulldogs junior to captain Australia.
