Steve Folkes

[Eelectrica]

Just read the news. Absolutely stunned.
Condolences to friends and family.
RIP to a legend of the game.

 

[DC_fan]

Sad news. My sympathies to his family.

 

[The Charlatan]

Godawful news. He gave a lot to the game. No surprise that the Tigers last good years were when he was with us.

Doggies have lost a favourite son.

 

[taipan]

Talk about a shock.The guy was a Bulldog's legend,a fitness fanatic.
So young.Life at times is just so unpredictable.
Thoughts and prayers with his family at such a terrible and sad time.

 

[Mr Angry]

Sad loss. RIP.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Jesus. Had some good years with the doggies. RIP.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Sad day for Rugby League. I hope the NRL do a tribute at the Dogs first game of the year in Perth against Melbourne

 

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

Damn, I saw his name and was thinking it would be good to see him coaching again, i always liked his style (and the fights with Willie Wanker Mason only helped his image)

 

[Pig Hunter]

Geez, sad sad news.

RIP.

 

[Timmah]

Absolutely gutted. Left the 'Dogs with plenty of fantastic memories and was a great coach.

All the best to his family.

 

[The Vaulting Violinist]

Sad news, complete legend for us. Embodies everything that the club stood for

 

[OVP]

RIP Steve. Condolences to his family. Just can't believe it.

 

[Danish]

Horrible news.

Guy was a fitness nut, with stories of him regularly leaving his players in his dust during his preseason training sessions as a coach.

Just goes to show you no one knows when their time is up.

His stint coaching the bulldogs was epically good in hindsight, and his 2004 side probably one of the top 5 in the last 3 years

 

[Generalzod]

Sad news for the Bulldogs family way to young RIP

 

[Iafeta]

Rest in peace Steve, truly shocked by the news. A Bulldogs and rugby league legend.

 

[axl rose]

Tough as nails player and a man of few words. Terrible loss.

 

[Glenn]

Very sad news, thoughts with family, friends and all at Canterbury.
RIP

 

[Aus_Dog]

Tears in my eyes. RIP Folkesy, a true Bulldogs legend

 

[beave]

Was a great coach and player. Loved his pressers, he seemed so down to earth.
RIP Steve.

 

[Disinterested third party]

Pound for pound one of the great all time tacklers; especially for a smallish forward. Up there with the likes of Poppa Clay, Terry Randall, Trevor Gilmeister and Geoff Toovey.
