You are confusing the issue badly here. How can you be disappointed in a man who just gave you 11-12 seasons of nothing but sheer committment, blood, toil and most sadly tears?
The guy said the move is for his family etc, infact he told Mick Watson the financial terms were not the be all and end all and infact the deal with the Warriors is not that much different financially than with the Bulldogs upgraded deal. Do you ever stop to think that maybe his kids may have been getting abuse at school about all the controversies he continually stood up for - he continually stood up for fans like you to save face for the fan, and you are disappointed in him for now possibly standing up for his family?
The man's decision was for lifestyle and family reasons; maybe he doesn't want to be associated with the same controversies anymore? Maybe he just wants to get his family out of the Bulldogs limelight and have them grow up in a beautiful, peaceful serene country? And maybe a very few minute percentage of fans who are "disappointed" in him need to evaluate what they are truly disappointed in; the club for not giving him the support outside of football he needed to insure his families happiness, or yourself for making petty one eyed comments like that that p!ss on everything he's done for your club.
Pull yourself together.

Why is he being petty? You would have no idea how much me meant to our club unless you were a bulldogs fan. He had links to the old guard such as Terry Lamb and Bullfrog, he was the face of one of the biggest clubs in Sydney
Dont kid yourself into thinking that we are going to be all merry about losing him
Iafeta said:Where did Terry Lamb coach again? Oh thats right. Bulldogs didn't show him loyalty by giving him a job did they? Loyalty is a two way street, it comes and goes. You respect those who show it to you for 11-12 years, you don't disrespect their decision on it, you just respect it. Thats what loyalty is.

Ummm... yes they did. He coached Jersey Flegg at the Bulldogs after he retired as a player. Tigers offered him a first grade coaching job, which he took. What did you expect the Bulldogs to do? Sack Folkes to keep him? Now, after his short tenure at the Tigers, Terry Lamb is back at the Bulldogs, on the board. That's loyalty.
Moffo said:Oh, I could imagine which sort of people are saying the things above without even looking. Question is, how can you even attempt to take them seriously? They are A grade twats and I think its irrelevant to even mention what they say in this discussion
Look, good on Pricey, he did what he wanted. Im not slagging him for that. But of course im going to feel let down that he has left
Cheers,
