Uh, the club's marketing dept came up with that, not the fans.I doubt they are over the cap. The real issue here is the hypocrisy of the bulldogs and their fans. I am sure we all remember the infamous bred not bought campaign a couple of years back as well as the family club mantra the bulldogs live by.
You do know we got the spoon in 2008 don't you? Each one of those players played first grade in 2008.Half those players I doubt would have been in the top 25..

Goodwin and Morris are still on their original contracts AFAIK, Ennis as well. Players don't suddenly get bigger contract $$$ mid-season because they play rep footy, that's stuff that gets negotiated next contract...
I wasn't referring to rep bonuses, I was saying that contracts don't just grow mid-season or mid-contract due to a player having played rep footy.
Something to remember also is that neither Morris nor Goodwin played rep footy in 2010...
Every Dogs fan gave it to the Roosters on the back of that. Guess we gotta just cop it sweet for a decade or so lolRight, so you don't think any Dogs fans were sprouting the exact same sentiments before the shirt came out?
It was a completely new belief that the "marketing department" came up with...and then it caught on with the fans?

The Newcastle Knights have bolstered their forward pack by securing the signature of hardworking North Queensland Cowboys back rower Steve Southern for the 2011 season.
Southern, 28, is a Dapto junior who progressed through the junior representative ranks at St George Illawarra before signing with the North Queensland Cowboys in 2004.
After seven seasons including 123 NRL matches and a Grand Final appearance in 2005, the man affectionately known as Bluey has developed a reputation as a tough player with a no nonsense approach, making his connection to the Newcastle Knights a perfect fit.
Steve is a great acquisition to our club and Im really looking forward to working with him when we reassemble our squad in early November, Knights Coach Rick Stone said.
Bluey has an unquestionable work ethic with a relentless attention to detail which fits our club culture and adds some invaluable experience to our relatively young squad.
Southern will join the Newcastle Knights squad in early November when they resume training for the off season.

:lol:
Why the f**k would a club throw money away like that?
On another note, looks like people can't wait to get out of Townsville. How many is that now? Something like 20 isn't it?
Big Mick, what's your source on Morris and Ennis receiving salary increases for playing rep. footy?
Having just done a little research, neither incentive was mentioned and it appears they were both signed to 3 year deals.
