    Oops, yes, Jim Dymock. Those Bulldogs all look the same to me.

    Ringbarked! Love it. Dean Pay took over the Bulldogs midway through 2011 and did a remarkable job of turning around the performance of the team. He should have been given the job. Instead they pilfered Hasler and co with their huge surplus of pokies money and Dean Pay was relegated to support...

    And then when it was apparent StG was a chance - Gasnier was gifted into the team from Union on essentially nothing by the NRL very, very late in that season - with his pay backended to the following four seasons. His contract was for the finale of 2010 plus 4 more seasons, and he retired in...

    Interesting video on TBaz

    As I see it, there's the Lockyer/Cam Smith/Cronk style, cool as a cucumber. Intensely and coolly focused. At the other end of the spectrum there's the Hopoate/Geyer style, intensely passionate. The aim is intimidation. If the intimidators don't cause disruptive fear, their efforts can be lost...

    Cullen ready to take his chance at Manly

    And the reason for not signing Chez at the lower rate? Indecision? Politics (too close to 2V or the other owners)? Preference for Foran? None of these reasons would reflect well on recruitment decision makers. Building a team is not just a matter of buying the best talent. Part of the path to...

    Cullen ready to take his chance at Manly

    Sounds like Cullen won the grand final on his own: http://www.nrl.com/cullen-masterclass-a-great-sign-for-manly/tabid/10874/newsid/101700/default.aspx

    Tooves - Nearly a Warrior

    The gang (reportedly) closely associated with Hayson was the gang who (reportedly) had trouble with 2V as coach. And this gang was besties with Zorba and overtly favoured by Penn. In my mind, this only reflects well on the judgement of 2V and poorly on the judgement of Zorba and Penn.

    Tooves - Nearly a Warrior

    The real Bozo hand-pick Barrett as our coach, and gushed over his coaching abilities and prospects. So would you trust your namesake to pick the next coach?

    I ended up with a bad case of slime ankle when my tot had a cold.

    Maybe if you mixed it up with some other alliterations it'd get less grating?

    Is Jamil the Real Deal

    You know, @Woodsie, scared little 12 year old girls bitch about peers behind their backs. If you find your balls you may find the @ key on the 2.

    Is Jamil the Real Deal

    No surprise. Your response to a simple query on your thinking process is abuse, not introspection, and certainly not respect. It seems when you are lost for intelligent thought, then abuse is your only option. Are you a one trick pony Woodsie?

    Buhrer

    You are assuming that the coach, Barrett is the one making the decision on the recruitment. What if the decision was effectively made by his boss, which is a widely held belief here. Would his boss live and die by that decision too? Or is he all care and no responsibility?

    Buhrer

    Agreed. And there's been a number of decisions that also haven't made any sense to me: Like putting Jamie on last year's hit list. Like getting rid of Gutherson. Especially after signing him several months earlier to much fanfare. Like resigning Ballin and shortly after telling him he's not...

    Buhrer

    Buhrer was already being pushed out, because incredibly he was on last year's hit list. And, like some others he didn't go because he wanted to stay loyal and prove himself. Could be wrong, but from memory the others are now all goneski. So if they keep him he'll be the only player from the...

    Is Jamil the Real Deal

    Ok. So what is it that makes you so reactive to the style Ryan used if you agree with the substance of what he said? i.e. Why start with argument, if fundamentally you agree with him? And why do you think abuse is your default style, not respect?

    New Sea Eagles Chief targets Brookie

    The Fulton philosophy of building teams with huge players does work. The top teams in NRL all have this feature. They have speed and skill as well, but size is the foundation. And the placing of the Beacon Hill teams built on this size-based philosophy in the various age comps backs this up...

    New Sea Eagles Chief targets Brookie

    It does seem odd (illogical) that teams and players who had no involvement in the fight are being penalised out of existence. Maybe the separate issue of huge polynesian players being imported by Beacon Hill from out of area is muddying the decisions on penalties for the fight? A better path...

    Is Jamil the Real Deal

    Hi Woodsie. Nice to know you and Womby Poos miss me so much. No surprise Ryan's posting got a prickly response from you. You have repeatedly had this little (read big) obsession that religious beliefs, for some unknown reason, are sacrosanct. Untouchable. Uncriticisable. A little too close to...

    New Sea Eagles Chief targets Brookie

    The new council is looking at converting Warringah Golf Course into sporting fields for other sports. Manly Leagues club has now morphed into North Manly Bowling Club. North Manly Bowling club is effectively attached to Warringah Golf Course. I can't help wondering if there is some potential...
