Grant demands answers from Bulldogs
Dean Ritchie From: The Daily Telegraph October 02, 2012 12:01PM
THE boss of the ARL Commission John Grant is expecting a report from the Bulldogs explaining their atrocious Mad Monday behaviour.
The NRL runners-up are embroiled in fresh controversy, with unnamed players or officials hurling sexist slurs at female TV reporters yesterday.
Grant emphasised the seriousness of the situation at this morning's press conference to name the Kangaroos.
"Based on what I've heard, it's a serious issue and will be treated seriously," Grant said.
He added that the Bulldogs have been asked to issue a report to the Commission on what happened.
As the Bulldogs players held their traditional Mad Monday at Belmore Sports Ground yesterday, the current crop gave the media a reminder of the Dirty Dogs of old.
Through a barely opened window, the partying Bulldogs maintained their anonymity, but not their dignity, as they abused the assembled media.
The ugly comments, which were aired on Channel 9 last night, included:
"THERE are some ladies here to stick their heads in your pants";
"S. .K me off you dumb dog"; and
"I WANNA go and punch you in the face."

Another sour note was a foul-mouthed spray towards the media by the club's gear steward Fred Ciraldo. The players also urinated on Belmore Sports Ground in full view of the assembled media.
It is understood the two incidents are being investigated by club management.
The players' behaviour infuriated Bulldogs chief executive Todd Greenberg, who has been instrumental in turning around the culture of a club that a few years ago had the lowest reputation in the game.
"I spoke with the journalist today and apologised on behalf of the club. That's not how we do business. Will follow up internally!!" he tweeted.
Yesterday's antics were the latest petulance from the Bulldogs players and officials, who closed their dressing rooms to the media after Sunday night's 14-4 loss to Melbourne - a breach of NRL regulations with a heavy fine likely.
Yesterday the players donned cartoon outfits to celebrate the end of their season. Michael Ennis dressed as a Mario Bros, Josh Morris as Barney and a shirtless Sam Kasiano as a Ghostbuster.
Canterbury placed a security guard on the front gate of Belmore Sports Ground.
Several senior players were happy to talk to the media. Club captain Ennis said: "It (the result) is disappointing but part of me is so proud."
Good onya doggies. Show us your true colours. Time to splay the dirty dogs.
