Who? Halangahu ? He's not playing tonight.
Yeah - I liked his post because I knew he meant Nick T
Too many newcomers with long names - hence the LKT's LPT's etc

My son can pronounce them all, from every team - I always ask - Who? Oh you mean the fullback?

Hell, the Maori's have a hill named: "Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu"

Let's hope no future NRL players are named after it.
Will do my head in!

Search 'Willie Peters nrl" click on news - sort by date
Then you'll know why it's taken 4 weeks for an answer
He's flavour of the moment in Pommie land.

Either that or they like little Willies
Yeah i know that’s why they are suggesting him they are jumping on the bandwagon quicker then majority of the now so call Bulldogs supporters.

But them liking Willies isn’t a stretch they probably cop it from both ends.

I think the new CEO is too embarrassed to show himself in public….what organisations gets a new ceo and doesn’t make a public statement or get him to make a media release… are they too ashamed to bring him out in public sprouting the corporate rhetoric that the club is on the up and up and everything possible is being done to have a successful football team knowing full well that we are no closer to being a major force both on the field and in a corporate sense than we were 10 years ago.
We’ve been hearing the same spin since Bennett left and have probably gone backwards in nearly every facet of running a successful club….just like this country I see small very gloomy future

I reckon the Dragons will be dead in 20 years, maybe sooner.
The games moving on in a fast fashion. New clubs in, some will have to go.

Our history has been wiped.
Our jersey cheapened by a cavalcade of awful and selfish players over the last decade.
Can't secure a decent coach.
Most of our best juniors play elsewhere.
Look how dead our rivalries our.
Look how we wet our pants on special occasion matches.

And before you think, they won't do it, get rid of St George.
We are not St George anymore but also, look what happened to Souths and Norths and Wests.
Why would this be any different?

And if it doesn't happen, a permanent move to Illawarra will be the other option.

This is not a response to another loss. this is just what I see V'landys working towardsw.

My thoughts exactly said this to similar effect the other day, one useless email to members that looked like it was spat out from Chatgbt if your not addressing all fans with a proper media release then fk off

Quite frankly, the way I feel again tonight, dropping the club from the NRL may help me keep sane in my latter years. I could make a fresh start, go Warriors! I highly doubt I would support an Illawarra only team.

We are all thinking it.
Winning does a lot to change our thinking but each win we get these days is just a hall pass to lose the next three. Rinse and repeat.

You disagree with my point, or you just like to attack people?

The game evolves faster than ever these days with this particular chief executive for the sake of bums on seats, eyes on screens and money. Loss of history is bound to be by-product and give way to whatever lines people pockets. Love to hear your view.

The 'local derby' is a big joke these days.

Three stooges driving the agenda. Flanno needs to stay for the long term its that simple give him the time required he is halfway through a three year deal ffs
Griffin who was a dud and got us 10th place in his second year,was sacked early the year after
Do you reckon this bloke will get us in the 8 or even as high as the sackable 10th Griffin achieved in his second year?
The powers that be are wanting results and if he wants to stay he better get them quickly otherwise long term is about another couple of weeks
You keep asking me who will replace him
Here is a short list
Taylor
Young
Peters
Demetriou
Hannay
Walters
Holbrook
Wallace
Hornby
Payten
Arthur
Hinchcliffe
There’s 12 without much thought
He can’t attract players and we could be 14 th after the weekend
The ball is in his court
Top 6 minimum or see ya later
