I know, eh?
So why is it we only get to play you Doggies once a year?
Damnit it's the best damn rivalry in the NRL!
Heated, spirited, pasionate.
We should play the Dogs once at Parra and once at the Dog House. It's only logical.

Honestly i didn't mind the bulldogs they were great competitors and the crap we took and gave was at least on the fielf from what I remember.
Whats the story about Ray Prices Children and the Bulldogs?
Misty Bee said:Fair dinkum, to even question as to why we should have Canterbury makes me doubt you as an eels fan!
For those of you who are soft in the head....
1) 1984 GF. Canterbury wore illegal fibreglass shoulderpads. As you know (or bloody well should), Ray Price was down when Mark Bugden score the only try of the game.
2) During that time, there were regular slanging matches in the media between Bullfrog Moore, Warren Ryan and Ray Price, before a big game.
3) They used to whine like an old truck diff when they had to use the 'visitors' room at Belmore from '82-85'
4) Ray Price used to live at Bass Hill. His kids used to get bullied by the locals because of who he was.
5) 1986 GF. Warren Ryan used Peter Langmack as a deliberate ploy - niggling in tackles to award penalties when Parra were close to the dogs line. Cronin had a detached retina in his eye - and the ploy was to make us take shots at goal - and weaken Crow's confidence if he missed. He did miss a few early, but like a true champion, ended up nailing them. Terry Lamb, the worst-ever 'club legend' could only get 1 LOL!
Since then, Canterbury have moved on to a histoory of bringing the game into disrepute, via their Super League involvement - and the horrible way they treated honest players who questioned Traitor League - read 'Family Betrayal' by Jarred McCracken - the best Australian book never to win a Booker Prize!

But Ray Price did do a pretty good job of stopping Mark Bugden in Sepetmber 1986, if you watch the tape.Dog-E said:FIVE Ray Price's wouldn't have stopped Mark Bugden back on that fine sunny Sunday afternoon in September 1984!!....And that's a .![]()

My best mate is an Eels supporter, and he still bitches about the day Parramatta showed how they play in the big matches. :lol:
