Which NRL coach has blocked the number of a veteran reporter over a recent misunderstanding.


SHOOSH
Which highly promising NRL rookie is having difficulties at his club and could be on the move? This is potentially a big story we are monitoring closely.



Not our coach.

Wonder which rookie..
Maybe one of these

Anyone remember the AFL thing called "flooding"?
It was a Swans tactic the AFL hated. I remember it being maybe like "parking the bus" in soccer - getting everyone back in defence and just trying to counterattack. Did they get rid of that from AFL? If so, how?
I am pissed and my wife has kicked me out again - so I am working on an idea.

On the other site and bulldogs forum that the Dogs are going after Sam Tuivati who is a free agent for 2026.

Can't believe he isn't already locked up
Don’t worry, it’s just Good Governance from captain Jim and the funky bunch. We sign the Likes of JOffa, Lussick, Harper, Davey, but the the real up and coming talent like Sanders we don’t secure early on.

The likes of Phil Gould doesn’t know what he’s doing. But our Jim does. His plan since 2022 was to take on the Tigers.

You just don’t understand the genius of giving PO’s to rookies, you then get them to play first grade and putting them in the shop window and making it harder to lock them up.

Its what the smart clubs do.

I think we’re paying the price for poor planning. There was no succession plan after 2022. Anyone with foresight could see that our entire pack was going to be old in a few years and we didn’t take measures to counteract that.
The only plan around that time was plan family Arthur. Both useless sprogs have first grade Gigs so mission accomplished i guess who cares about this club.

Think about the savings on the cap the PO gives us

We saved 100% of blaizes contract this season and then 100% percent on Dylan's for next year.

Brilliant really...

I told your mate years ago the Bulldogs are closer to a comp.then us. Gould was setting it up. Collecting the best juniors and coaches.
Now we have a side ready to take out the title this season.. Next year they'll be favourites.
Whilst we had some good seasons unders BUSHY we never where a genuine title chance.

If only we had the Ponnisi of the West, what we do, who would have thought 🙄

I am.nothing more then an armchair expert and banged on about it. Any idiot could look at birth dates and the players histories and see it was stupid.
I'd love Mahoney back and wish we kept him over Brown now. He is an animal and plays with his heart and soul
Same goes for Stone.

We neglected speed in the backs for 3 f**king years also.
