'ex' Barrett's Bulldogs

[Dan]

Remember a few years ago @Dan we started a rumour on here about a certain player on the verge of joining us just to see if the media picked it up !!

AND they did !!

As @The Who suggested earlier today’s journos don’t bother with verifying facts it’s more about “ whose the first one to a story “.

Sure do, we have done it more than once to weed out who and who is not reading the site and using it as their ketchup.

It was about 2006 when the sports journalists decided they no longer needed to report on sport and instead be the Sydney Sports Confidential, facts are not important if you arent defaming anyone

I forget the rumour itself but bloody hell it was funny when it happened and there was only one place they could have got the info, right here!!

I don't get why he isn't leaving Penrith right now, if it was my business and he was going to a competitor he would be walked today.

That's a lot of trust they are placing in him not trying to get any of their players to follow him.

Baz is a top bloke.

Hope Mr 38% can improve the poor doggies. They are now linked to every player in the comp so should be a decent squad to choose from

He doesn't want to sully his impressive 38% win record.

The fans, not so much

Players are already calling the shots, and Bartlett hasn’t even arrived yet.

Lol. He said in the Bulldogs media release "I would also like to thank the Panthers for their support and understanding. As my job there is not yet done, and out of respect to the Panthers, I will not be making any further comment until the conclusion of the season." And then he goes on NRL 360 for crying out loud!

 

[Lindsay Drake]

It wouldnt surprise me in the slightest if:

a. The NRL agreed $300k is $BW's market value (despite being on a $10m 2 year contract at Toronto) and

b. $BW agreed to the deal, because it would be massively overshadowed by the under-the-table payments he'd get from Uncle Nick.

I have it from a reliable source that a number of former Rooster players, including SBW, have units in a complex at Sans Souci, given to them by uncle Nick, when uncle Nick funded the development.

So what’s another couple of units......

The players love him.

Imagine the bonding sessions.

Man of integrity that he is, I assume that he didn’t comment on his new gig when he was on 360...?

You might be surprised to know he was unsuccessful at that too.

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Yeah nah, sorry for my info on Afb signed til end of 2022. So in essence the core of team turbos, dce, walker, afb, marty and suli signed up longterm. While young schuster and ben turbo signed for couple of seasons.

I was thinking he would sniff around afb.. 2022 great move by the club

Apt, sans souci means “without care” - they don’t give a **** about the rules.

On one hand I shouldn't really care about his appointment any more than I do for any new coach.
Read the media, ignore most of it, but at the end of the day it's the players I'm more interested in.

But obviously the history he has with Manly ups the interest just a notch.

I was reading one of the many love stories about him recently and he said after the Manly (and gardening) stint he did a lot of research and education (which all coaches should do) and hung around with the all blacks coach to get pointers etc.
He's acknowledged his numerous stuff ups, says he wont do them again.

So he should be a lot better prepared for the head coach role - and that's why I'm mildly interested in seeing how he goes.

I'm a lot more interested in Manly making the finals each year and pushing for #9.
