Clyde??

[Bulldog-Power]

he won the bulldogs players marathon

 

[blacktip-reefy]

The pommie sides have won 7 of the last 10 WCC's, so I guess you can start questioning the commitment of the other Australian sides who have put in lack-lustre performances, including the virtually unbeatable Broncos of the 90's.

Why would I do that.
The Broncos, management & coach are probably the driving force behind league & instituting real change & care for the game.
One of the best game I ever watched was a Club chalenge that the BRoncos, full strength participated in.

Were you critical of QLD when they recalled Alan Langer for the state of origin - the biggest showcase in our game? I didn't hear anyone complaining about that. In fact, it ignited even more interest in the match, and judging by the majority of attitudes to the Clyde situation, it's doing likewise.

Why would I have been? Langer wasthe form player in the SL comp at the time of his recall, despite being in an abysmal team & came back to play for the Broncos again the year after.

He was not retired for 4 years.

Maybe Turveys hips will hold up & he can take Sherwins place?

Bring back Polly again!

Actually , what is really needed is Steve Hage against those pOmmes.

Bring him back too!
He won the Southern Comfort marathon over xmas.

Not at all struggling.

mmm Hmm.

Quick - Someone chuck him a floatie - he's going down for the third time!!!

Actually.......never mind!! :lol:

I thought BTR was joking when I read the first post, just baiting you guys. No he's serious apparently.

What an idiot.

How is naming Brad Clyde as a possible 17th man a detriment to the game? Folkes was in a corner given there was a chance he would be down a man due to injury and his next best alternative was a former international and modern day great who just happened to be their media manager.

Whilst the chorus is loud and clear from Bulldogs haters, this is not an example of Canterbury doing anything "dispicable to the detriment of the game".

A post made perhaps to bait a Doggies fan...nothing original and has happened 5-6 times already this week in which you may find a link in the above post.



Hear hear. Definitely not to the detriment of the game in any way that I can see.

Typical of the attitude of the Dogs. They make out as if they are doing us all a huge favour by going over there, and then seriously damage the build up to the game by suggesting Clyde would play. The WCC has enough problems in its current format without this sort of crap doing further damage to its standing.

Folkes wasn't in a corner at all - as usual, he doesn't give a f**k about anything other than his grubby team.

Maybe even Pepenis.

:lol:

Freudian slip?

What troubles would they be? The fact that they're expecting a sellout crowd of 38000 for the first time in years and years?

And what damage has been done? As far as I can tell from people's response, about 90% have no problems with him playing, and a lot are actually hoping that he will.

No, suggesting that Clyde would play was a ticket selling ploy :roll: Not only that, it was also a ploy to raise suspicion in regards to SBW actually taking part in the game :roll:

Brilliant Folkes, you are a mastermind

WTF are you talking about? The Google Moron-to-English translator crashed, any chance of lucid clarification?

No, the fact that most Aussies and lots of Brits regard it as little more than a mickey mouse fixture. As in, the kind of fixture you would use your 36 year old media manager in as a replacement if you were short a man.

Fair enough. I just think its a pretty damning indication of the Bulldogs attitude towards this game, and a fair indication of their stance towards the game itself in general. If others don't agree then good luck to them.

 

[melon....]

For the record I do think the Dogs are taking this game to lightly. We want our game to flourish at all levels, and this is the highest honour a club can achive at this point in time.

Spot on Kiwi....if you read what the Brits go through, the WCC is super important to the International game of League. When its not taken seriously, the Union in the UK hammer the minority League comp there. We need a fully professional approach to holding this event...even just to ram it up English Union....not some has been that keeps pinching himself because his coach has asked him out of the blue (and white) to play.

But as my learned Bulldog colleagues have pointed out, Clyde wont play because Sonny Bill is super fit and ready to play....We...Will...See...

Yep, it's definitely down at the moment mate...Cos I tried running your claptrap thru it - And I'm still not getting anything even vaguely sensible out of it!!!...I'd try again in half an hour...but I somehow suspect the result would be the same each time....

But on the other hand, your new mindless, reactionary, histrionic drama-queen booster is working a TREAT!!
:blahb:

 

[melon....]

In th eend folk(e)s it doesnt really matter.

Leeds will win and win well...they need to more than the Dirty Dogs.

 

[Nook]

But on the other hand, your new mindless, reactionary, histrionic drama-queen booster is working a TREAT!!

If its mindless and reactionary to question the wisdom of playing a 36 year old retiree in a game which already struggles immensely for credibility, then guilty as charged. I wonder if your reaction would be the same if it was the Roosters bringing the game into disreupute by fielding some has been in what should be one of the bigger games of the season? I'm guessing mindless and reactionary.

If the Doggies had any regard for the game, they would be trying to build it up, not displaying utter indifference. And there are probably a large number of clubs who would do the same.

 

[melon....]

On a side note...I think Craig Poultry Mounter would make and excellent replacement for Sherwin.

 

[Bulldog-Power]

what were we supposed to bring like a squad of 24 players or something??

also nook your a dope

so your saying the bulldogs dont care for rugby league at all???

" I just think its a pretty damning indication of the Bulldogs attitude towards this game, and a fair indication of their stance towards the game itself in general."


yeah thats right the dogs dont care about rugby league... I mean why the f**k would a rugby league club care about rugby league........

that is seriously one of the dumbest things I have ever read.

 

[Nook]

I mean why the f**k would a rugby league club care about rugby league........

I think the Bulldogs of 2003/2005/2005 care about the Bulldogs, at the expense of almost everything else. Same for the Roosters, same for the Broncos...but especially the Bulldogs. Many of the actions of their players and administators over that timeframe smack of a fundamental disregard for the good of the game.

A better question would be "I mean why the f**k would a rugby league club act like it doesn't care about rugby league."

Thats the one that has me stumped. :?:

WTF MATE GET A f**kING LIFE!!! get over it! The Bulldogs didn't have too go if they didn't want too! They could of taken the easy option and stayed in Sydney in the warmer weather and train for the NRL season! But instead they went too England and took 18 OF THEIR BEST AVAILABLE PLAYERS!!! SIMPLE!
Has it gone through your head yet??? Thurling was ruled out on day 1 of the trip! Minus 36 (just the flight) hours for the player too replace him get to England thats 3 days in he would of gotten too England (At best)... That doesn't give him enough time too get over the flight, get use too the time change, weather, train with the squad etc... Clyde was the best option!!!!
What about Chris Anderson bring back Darren Smith in 2003??? Even leaving out players they had on tour... Bulldogs are their for one game, they are not going too take 20 players...

 

[melon....]

How about enough to cover injuries. 18 players means you can only afford to lose 1 due to injury...unless youre happy to play with a 2 man bench...in which case after the loss...youd label Leeds as Claytons WCC Champions and claim you would have won if you had 17...all due to your own stupidity....sound familiar?
