Actually. From this link:
A year zero does not exist in the Christian Era and its Gregorian calendar or its anterior Julian calendar.

A year zero does exist in ISO 8601:2004 and in the astronomical year numbering with a defined year zero equal to 1 BC, as well as in some Buddhist and Hindu lunar calendars.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_zero

1BC = The year that should've been Zero.
In which case:
1BC through to 0999 is your first 1000 years.
1000 through to 1999 is your second 1000 years.

Therefore this millenium/century started in the year 2000.

i dont know if this has been mentioned yet (as i couldnt be bothered reading through the whole thing), but i believe the bulldogs supporter who started this thread, was trying to ascertain that the bulldogs have been the doiminant force of recent years. HOWEVER he forgot to subtract the 19 wins that they were stripped of in 2002 because they cheated the cap.

so here are the actual figures:


This decade:

Roosters 91, 58.0%
Broncos 89, 57.1%
Storm 84, 55.3%
Knights 82, 53.9%
Dogs 82 wins
Eels 81, 53.3%

So far in NRL history (1998-2006)

Broncos 144, 60.5%
Roosters 143, 59.6%
Storm 135, 57.7%
Eels 134, 57.3%
Knights 130, 56.3%
Dogs 125 wins




hope that clears things up a little!

They weren't stripped of wins, they were stripped of competition points.

15 Bulldogs P24 W20 L4 B2 8pts

Read it and weep.

Those wins were still while cheating. Had you played ny the rules we have no way of knowing how many games you would've won, lost or drawn. It might not of made any difference. It may have made a huge difference.

Nobody can say one way or the other.

It doesn't matter. Bulldogs could have the most wins in this decade but if they only have one premiership while another team has two then they are not the most dominant. So who gives a fork!

Exactly. Full range of emotions Ian. Wouldn't have it ANY other way.

You say that, but you didn't have a year where you won only six games.

I laughed when your lot ran 54 past us at Mt Smart.

I think finding out your club has been cheating and having allegation after allegation levelled at your club in a short 3-year period tops any "only 6 wins in a year" situation ;-)

We cheated too!

And try only winning six games in a year. You think your slump at the end of last year hurt?:crazy:

Cheating the cap may not have stripped the wins from the Dogs, but it makes whatever lame achievement this thread is proclaiming completely empty

To you maybe. I've never been prouder to be a Bulldogs fan since we've rebuilt from 02. An 04 premiership, dominant in 03 and now 06... a bright future, a reasonably consistent club year in year out - we always seem to be there with only a couple of missed years... I think the overall point is we are one of the more successful clubs. You lot can argue that stat to high heaven, you can have your opinions, but it's there in black and white. Bulldogs have the most wins in the 21st century.

BTW mxlegend, I'd prefer to believe wikipedia than you:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/21st_century

The 21st century is the present century of the Gregorian calendar. It began on 1 January 2001 and will last to 31 December 2100. Technologically it is different from the 20th Century mostly by changes brought about by the Digital Revolution of the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s.


Shove that one up ya ;-)

:lol: mx will still be on here having a cry. Fact is Bulldogs have been through EVERYTHING this decade/century. For us to be the first team to pass 100 wins is INCREDIBLE. No other club would have been able to achieve so much under the circumstances that the Bulldogs have had to do it. ;-)

IF you keep tugging it, it will fall off :crazy:
