Mate...why don't you watch the Australian open Women's Final and let the gals do all your screaming for you....

As much as I think Maria Sharapova is a good sort she has bitch written all over her. Had someone along the line said "don't do that (ie scream like a banshee every point) it is silly" when she was younger then women's tennis may not have become as totally unwatchable as it is. It is beyond stupid the actions of these gals and the fact they carry on as they do. There was a news report that the authorities are supposedly going to do something about it but that is probably justing paying lipservice to those who hate it...but then again that would have to be everyone. The final with the other screamer will be a nightmare. Just STFU!!

Whats the story with Djoko and his "i cant breathe" after a set and a half then he comes back firing..what an actress!

He even was blowing his nose..give it to him Rafa!!

How on earth did we let Santi get away from us ?

I know there has been a few over the years but seriously dont we learn from past mistakes.

Good to hear Zef.

Is it revenge time for Nadal? Djoko seems to find that litte bit extra when needed..could be another five hour marathon....

So are you still solvent or are you destitute? Is your business still functioning? More to the point are you OK.

I had to do it. Never before in my life even when I was a drinker did I feel such a need for a drink.

Got what I would've downed eaaaaaaasily when I was on it and only got through about 2/3rds of it, then experienced time travel.

I was sitting in front of the computer about... 8pmish and was just thinking I'm feeling a bit tired and next thing I opened my eyes and it was midnight.

Anyway, don't plan on dealing with the Tax man any time again soon so what's left goes down the drain and it's back to coffee and chocolate chip cookies for me. I mean, I'm all for time travel and all that but you come out the other side aged by double doing it this way.

FLY just a quick one about the Supercoach do you have Corey Parker in your team??

aoon as i get back from work 2morro brother will be done.

Another incredible semi final.

These guys can play tennis.

The Oils at their peak imo but they certainly managed to produce quality pretty consistently throughout their entire career.

I most certainly agree on the bands circa 80's and 90's mate but I've always thought it was probably me showing my age ;)

mate, please tell me the damage has been minimal.

Serious? I hope his body holds up and they haven't pushed him up too soon. He is a good player this kid

Brendan Santi graded in Tigers NRL squad .... Big leap from Bulldogs SG ball to Tigers fulltime squad

I see Liam Ayoub is playing for Penrith NYC in 2012

IanC - Pats into the Superbowl again. I hope they can get revenge on the Giants for wrecking the perfect season in 2008

Might as well go all the way mate, add the sack and crack. lolll

Bulldog Debate Page Dream Team - Code: 370456

Apart from 1 beer to be sociable around about the first week of Jan this year, I haven't had a drink since 22/2/11.

Last Fri - 2 hrs 40 mins on the phone to the Taxman inc about an 1 & 1/2 of that on hold talking to 3-4 different people.

Mon - 90 mins, at least an hour of that on hold, 4 different people.

Wed - roughly about the same but special mention to the bloke from Perth who gave me the "call back" at 7.40pm only to tell me he couldn't help me.

Today - 9am to 11.40am, at least 2+ hours of that on hold, transferred between about a dozen different people inc the same two, three, four? people twice, trips?

All to be told that what I was told the first time last Fri was correct..........

They've broken me..... I'M GONNA GET SHIT-FACED BEGINNING RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd agree there about it being one of the most dull grand finals. A lot of the semi's in that era were much more entertaining, in fact most games were over the years! Dismal attack from both sides. The 2 grand finals against parra were dull too, the only saving grace being Canterbury were in them. It's likely why I'd forgotten so much about the 85 gf but as I hadn't seen a match from the 80's for so long I enjoyed it for that reason, great to see some of the legends once more.

I emailed colin a bit over a week ago about bulldogs players profile photos trying to find out our nyc team list
as he has listed 14 other sides but he is not putting up our nyc pictures
He mustn't like the dogs? the bugger

I know quite alot but nice to see the whole team list
anyhow check the site out in public nrl last seven days nrl nyc etc

hickey could replace kities position in nsw,if he would take what he was going to be on money wise

Hickey has more skill than George Rose but...hard to believe,,, also has bigger guts...I for one would like it actually..but is a fit Hickey a possibility

It was won by brilliant tactics which probably led to a rule change. Mortimer was able to bomb Glen Burgess with pinpoint accuracy and kep the ball in the Dragon's in goal. Burgess to his credit was sensational. It was probably the most boring grand Final ever. Graham Wynn was a dirty sneaky pr-ick and I always reckon he went within a hair's breadth of gifting us the 1979 GF when fortunately for him a head high tackle on Stan Cutler missed. But in retrospect any Bulldogs Grand Final win is good.

good onya belco
should of looked at the ticket has gate open times
and gates open at 4pm at the gong
cant wait bring back the footy

thanks Red ... personally hope those 4 players are in the 17 somewhere

Cant wait for the trial..

First post for a month or so, just testing the new password, which is working apparantly.

I actually watched the 1985 grand final the other day. I hadn't seen it since it was live all those years ago. It was good because after watching so many other matches in the years since, all I could remember of it was Peter Mortimers try & Steve Folkes playing the match with injured ribs.

Early on Steve Mortimer must of got punched in the mouth because he was bleeding. Then at the 10 minute mark an all in brawl erupted. I thought Peter Kelly must of swung one but the replay showed Turvy punching Graeme Wynn to the ground. I couldn't help but laugh! At the 25th minute they were getting ready for a scrum & then Peter Kelly swung a punch, sure enough it was at Graeme Wynn, but he didn't get to enjoy it for long because Pat Jarvis was there to put one straight on him in return, so that was the end of that.

Well, it's all funny stuff in hindsight & Canterbury were very lucky to win that one. The forwards were all as tough as nails, most played on for the full 80 minutes including Peter Kelly.
David Gillespie was on the bench until the last 15 minutes (how lucky was Warren Ryan having such a great forward pack, Saints pack was good too then).

It made me remember how good Peter Tunks was at prop, he was constantly making good yards up the middle (plus the whole pack were good ball players). Since then Willie Mason in his prime was probably the only one to come close to consistantly making such good yardage up the middle through the defensive line. There's been plenty come & go that were always smothered at or before the defensive line or out of puff after 15 minutes.

Things are looking much better for 2012 though, so I'm looking forward to this season. What a long off season, but not too long now. Good to see a lot of enthusiasm & passion here in the lead up.

And the banga's & mash !!!

They've now changed it back.

Hickey probably ate all the pies.

You reckon Sir Des of Belmore could turn him into the bulldogs version of big bad George Rose ???

Poor Luva.

I thought the London Broncos changed their name to the Harlequins a few years ago?

cant wait -bring it on

what a riff it is!

i'm a huge fan of the oils mate. gee there were some great bands around in the 80's/90's. better than all the talentless skanks and pretty boys we are exposed to these days.

London blocked from registering Hickey

London Broncos have been forced to release Jarrad Hickey after hitting the limit of five non-Federation trained players.

Hickey, 26, has been training with the Broncos having spent time at Wakefield last season, but they have been unable to register the Australian due to Super League rules.

A club statement read: "London Broncos have done everything within their means to try to rectify this unfortunate situation without success.

"The club will now work with Jarrad to assist him during this difficult time and continue to explore alternative playing opportunities for him."

Hickey has previously made more than 70 appearances for Canterbury Bulldogs in the NRL.

could someone give me a list of times for the earliest trials first games at belmore and the gong got tickets but no times for nyc nsw etc also going too see some harolds at belmore

first time ive being online in a week and telstra are f...... useless and its still not propelry fixed so may not be able too get online for 2-3 weeks this has being going on for months grrr
cheers

Like alot of people, I wasn't too happy they signed KK.

The way I see it though, he is the best established number 6 at our club. Reynolds might be a better option one day, but at this stage I think he'll be our number 6. I guess we should accept it and hope that Des can make him a better player.

Personally I think SBW will go to the highest bidder. If the Roosters are throwing 750 - 800K a year, I can't see Todd G coming near that. He hasn't played a game of League for almost 4 years.

Champion effort red dog, Im optimistic about Keating this year. Can you really se SBW coming back to the club that made him pay 750k to leave? I cant.

Agree with you there mate. I love the way the prior song merges into the opening riff.

Little lunch.

celebrated australia day by working a 15 hour shift then coming home and listening to midnight oil's diesel and dust.

best song= warakurna.

agree jock itch should beat rafa, assuming he gets by murray and assuming whatever the hell was wrong with him against ferrer subsides.

he can act very strange sometimes....he looked like he wanted to cry half the time against ferrer.

i do think nadal's dominance certainly calls into question roger's claim to being the goat(greatest of all time).i don't think the goat can be someone's bunny which let's face it , roger is. rafa is not the goat either.

it does come down to a simple mis-match between rafa's incredible forehand and the fact that as a left hander it targets roger's backhand. hence, he tends to get bogged down on his backhand side and can't play with enough firepower from the backhand side when he is copping a barrage of high bouncing forehands with enormous work on the ball.

novak jock itch doesn't have this problem because his backhand seems to deal with rafa's forehand much better.
