Thanks for the new thread iajanus, great OP. I struggle to keep up with the off season trades having them all in the one place is real nice.

I normally lurk, will try to post something more substantial than "gently caress x team" and "how good it feels to be back at Belmore" even though I had never been until 2012 when the Bulldogs decided to do the Back in Belmore pre-season matches.

Are there any reserved spots in the Fantasy comp/is it cool if I join?

Cheers woof, want to be added to the OP under the Dogs?

Yeah go ahead, I'll make a ladder list in the next few days.

The world side is not even worthwhile, I casually strolled into a pub and noticed the Indigenous side was pumping World. Looked at the team, apart from Cartwright and maybe Friend or Mbye it's fairly slim pickings.

Did every player just shrug off a selection to focus on their season prep?

I wonder if that means Foran is coming to the Bulldogs?

That was a very hard 50 to watch, I'd mentally prepared myself for the end result this week but was pleasantly surprised with an early 6 and good from in the first 20.

I'm left wondering what it'll take for Dunn to step up against Dibb in the board if that ever occurs.

I honestly expected "The Voice of NRL" - Delta Goodrem to be chosen under contractual obligation from Nine.

Macklemore is better and only slightly dated.

I hold my breath every year for a modern Australian group like Cloud Control or even Violent Soho to play but it'll never happen.

I'm on phone and a few drinks in, I hope this tweet shows.

Bulldogs fans are crazy, if we keep Des through 2018 the attendee numbers will continue to drop. His plays recently are by the numbers and uninventive. We needed to clear out the board and sign a decent coach, Dean Pay already knows the clubs culture and is interested, sign him up.

Des might do NSW (believe it or not he's better than Freddy) or a stint in the U.K.

It's a pity we'll lose some guns thanks to the cap. I'd rather keep Brett Morris and rumour is that Josh Morris may be on his way as well. It's what you get for poor management; players like Lichaa can't sign elsewhere because they've played like garbage but can do better on the field when not restricted to possessions and sterile play. He's played better during the tail end of the year with less rigid game plans, hopefully players like him will fire up next season.

Dean Pay to coach the Dogs.

Really liked him as a player. Is apparently well liked by players at the club.

that does not always a good coach make

Full statement here, more than just an ex-Bulldogs that is well liked by players. Coached under Bellamy (Storm U20s) and Sticky Ricky (Eels/Raiders Assistant Coach). Also did great stuff with the NSW U20's side.

Looking forward to 2018!

False hope is all I've got after losing out on some players and making KILLER signings like Foran and Woods haha

A year or two ago Ipswitch beat Newcastle and it was a real good game.

Titans should just get rid of Hayne, sign up 4 young players. The NRL will sell the Titans shortly anyways.
