I don't want him back and I think alot of Bulldogs fans feel the same. He was probably, in my opinion, the pebble that started the landslide that led to financial hole we're in now.

Nah hes past it. Toronto Wolfpack is my money

Adam is a wonderful example of how a player should go about his business in the NRL
It sounds more like the Bulldogs trying to generate a headline that takes attention away from their performance.

I don't believe he's signing there. If he's coming back to the NRL, it's with the Cunts.

I'm sure if he's past it the Tigers will be right there to pay him his final contract.

Ah yeah, again and again!
I'm sure he'll stay true to form and follow the money to Toronto, but if he wears the blue and white again I won't watch any games until he's gone. It's not right.

But it's footy and the right thing usually happens by accident and is quickly corrected by drink and drugs and sexual assault.

SBW has a weird sense of loyalty. If he had wanted the biggest payday, he would have spent the last decade playing rugby in Japan and France.

Our review identified changes needed to be made and, in Stephen, we have a coach who has a reputation for demanding the highest standards.
He has a verbal agreement with Politis that if he goes back to the NRL it's with the Roosters. Regardless of what you think about how he left the Bulldogs, with the man he is now that's pretty much that.

Thursday and Monday night footy were both poo poo
Friday kick off after 8pm is fine, anything before that is poo poo as well.

SOO on weekends would be choice as well

It's a school night and the games are two hours later in NZ, so I hardly ever watch the Thursday games.

I reckon Thursday and Monday nights would be equally difficult to get to. With kids and full time work they don't do well. For that matter Friday nights aren't great with young kids and Saturday nights not much better.

But for the telly I find Mondays I'm just getting through the day and keen for some footy to wash the taste of work away, but by Thursday I've got too much poo poo to do.

Friday night is good, you can kick back a bit at the end of the week, yell with a few thousand other people and maybe have a few piss-weak watered down beers.


monday night, gently caress that

thursday night, it's a bit like popping off a bit early.

Canberra’s game plan is a Ricky Stuart rant about how it’s a conspiracy by the referees that’s holding them back.

SL has been pretty entertaining this year. I recommend early risers in Oz tune in.

My only complaint is only a few matches are televised. But reasons and all that.

GAME PLANS? We don't need no stinking game plans.

:cry: :cry: :cry:
There were two plays last night that sum up the Raiders.

Hodgson passed to Papalii on the 5th tackle twice but for two different reasons. The first one was a typical raiders move hurrr durrr one of the most professional sides in the NRL might get tricked by a power play on the 5th tackle that never ever works lets keep doing it every week. I expect to see that at least once a week for the rest of my life.

The second one though was just as bad. Sezer got tackled on the play before the 5th tackle and Papalii was standing where the 5/8th should be standing. This has been a consistent issue with the Raiders for as long as I can remember. This goes across coaches in the NRL era. How hard is it to have 3 players in a team that can count.

As for positives that CNK fellow from the warriors looks pretty decent so far.
