Just what the game and the Canterbury club needed.
Just another couple of disgraces to the long, long list of scandals and 'incidents' that plague this grubby club.
If people are talking about giving certain clubs the punt in order to expand our great game - I think we have found a credible candidate on our hands...
Within ONE weekend you have Steve Folkes publicly disparaging our wonderful comp by describing it as 'mediocre' (great PR skills you farkwit) a needless headline created solely to divert the media attention of his piss-poor football team. Now we have these couple of clowns giving it their all to further diminish our code's reputation with their foul antics. Combine this week with the constant embarrassment that Mason brings to our game, and we have to ask ourselves a very important question:
What GOOD has this club given the broader Rugby League community since the turn of the millenium? Sweet f**k All....nothing.....not a cracker.
They have only continued to humiliate and shame the 'brand' of Rugby League, to the untold detriment of our code in the short and long-term.
From rorting the salary-cap and bringing urban terrorism to Rugby League to tarnishing our game's public image in the wake of the Coffs Harbour scandal (blah blah it was all hogwash I hear you say) - have they EVER, EVER created a good news story in the press? NO!!!
But let's wait for the excuses:
"Oh, the media picks on us!!! Just us!!!! Poor old Bulldogs we are"
Conspiracy theories always abound when your mob is involved...
"Oh, we wore pink socks during a game, now you can see we respect women - surely now everyone will forget how we single-handedly disenfranchised half of the population"
Perception is everything, and your club have no credibility with females - or the general public, no matter what crazy stunt you have up your sleeve....
"Oh, but we have the biggest fanbase in Sydney, the game would crumble without our huge crowds"
f**k off - your club's fans drive more people away than what they bring!!!
We'd bring more people back to the game by returning North Sydney to the FG fold or adding a new expansion team, anything is better then this contemptuous club.
