I haven't read any post, but my inside info from one of the players, is that they are pumped for a huge season.

The players claim hasler is a nutter, and they haven't seen anything like him. He has left no stone unturned.

He has given Pritchard huge sprays, and is in shaped for his best season.

Finish anywhere in the top 6, with a top 4 a real chance. Will definitely give the contenders a scare.


Awesome news.

Not saying old door smasher will do well next season, but I remember reading the same thing about Souths last off season. You always hear that sort of rhetoric when a new coach/regime starts.

Carl "Fat Bastard" Webb claimed every off-season that he had been training the house down and the next season was going to be his best ever.

Farah has been chosen for the Australian squad on more than one occasion. Ennis has never been under consideration. Ennis can't even get a start in the PMs XIII which Farah has played for 3 times. Again, your logic is flawed.

I personally don't give a shit about the dogs, and will in fact death ride them.

But hasler has got them doing things they never imagined. Also it should be mentioned that hasler is reunited with one of his previous halfs, that excelled under him.

This thread will make for a good bump in 6 or 7 months.

What? He was referring to the Roosters quite clearly...



I'd break the sentence down for you but it's already so straight forward. In context of the quote before that...

"You mean the Roosters backline that he scored about 4 against? *insert laughs to try and assert being more right*"
The point I'm making is that he made a mistake. Barba scored 4 in a game late in the season - it wasn't against the Roosters. It was against the Raiders.

Pretty obvious. But carry on.

So bulldogs fans are excited because their team is reportedly “pumped” for the new season?

As a supporter of one of the other 15 clubs whose players are indifferent to the start of the season I must say I am extremely envious :crazy:

The boughtdogs will finish 2 spots higher than Raiders and 1 spot higher than Souffs..... 14th

From about July onwards Dogkinson looked average. He was a revelation at the beginning of the season, in great form and particularly because Manly didn't slump as expected. He was eventually found out for his lack of creativity and that is what he has taken to the dogs. He was lucky he had Foran alongside him to cover to a degree his lack of creativity. Dogkinson is a good defensive halfback but halfbacks are there for attack, not defence.

So we'll get a better coach who's won two premierships, and finish four spots lower?

Yeah. :lol:

The first half of the season he had Keating inside him at #6 and they had a reasonably solid combo.

He got suspended, Keating got injured and the halves pairing went on to change every week. Hardly fair to judge a halfback on one season at a club which was injury and suspension plagued. He looked quite good in the latter rounds as the combos settled and the form of the team generally improved. His kicking game is quite good as well.

You're the one who carried on like a twat and carried on about how the Roosters game.

Simple thing to say would've been "uh, no, that was actually in the Raiders game".

Instead, you came across as an utter f**kwit.

lol you're the one coming across as a fkwit cause clearly Bro said "Roosters" and he didn't say "one game" which would make more sense, but anyway the Dogs clearly had a "pass it to Barba" mentality in that Raiders game so I doubt you could use that as an argument to show how good he is.
