We were top 2 in all grades except for grade also. We won the Club championship with a few games to go.Dogaholic said:
Nothing more frustrating then an undefeated team losing the game that counts. Panthers had that happen with or SG Ball this season. I think our young guys had so much pressure on going back to back and just crumbled.Dogaholic said:
Milton Ulladulla Bulldog Tristan Nisbet is going from barking to biting, moving up in the rugby league competition to sign with the Canterbury Bulldogs.Despite only three years in the sport, Tristan caught the eye of a sports manager and after signing up a manager, began to get interest from top NRL clubs.
"It was pretty amazing to get interest from the Bulldogs," Tristan told the Times.
" I signed on with my manager and not long after that, he had several clubs contact him before the bulldogs made an offer."
Tristan met with the Bulldogs board to discuss contract options.
"I went to Sydney and met the club," he said.
"They outlined the contract and what it would entail and I signed with them on Thursday."
Tristan signed a two-year contract with the team, currently ranked sixth on the ladder in first grade football, and will start training in November and join the under 20s national comp.
"It has all happened pretty quickly," the 18-year-old told the Times.
"My family have been really supportive.
"I think Dad's side of the family were pretty stoked, they are all huge football fans."
Tristan played soccer for many years before converting to league and said he has learnt a lot from the Milton Ulladulla Bulldogs.
"The club has given me heaps, especially Peter Leffley.
"He is a great coach, but he's also like a second dad.
"He's really supportive of us all, which shows with the great results he gets from us."
Tristan will move to Sydney to start with the Bulldogs, moving to Cronulla to share a house with his sister.
"Having family support will make it heaps easier," he said.
"Training will be pretty well full time but I hope to get a part time job so I can have some spare money too."
Tristan completed school at Ulladulla High School in 2006 and spent this year focusing on his football, a move that has obviously paid off.
But, despite a goal to become a professional first grade player, this may not be the last the local clubs sees of Tristan.
"I am really grateful to all my family and friends for their support, and to the local Bulldogs for being supportive of my move, though they did tell me not to worry, if anything goes wrong they will welcome me back to play with them again," he said.
