Can't believe Money Bill Williams. Hopefully he never plays in the NRL again. To just up and leave the Bulldogs is a disgrace. Always thought there was something shifty about that bloke.
Well said Lady Main.
Ive stated on these threads for the past 3 years that the Canterbury Bankstown club has shot itself in the head with their playing roster and trade decisons.
$BW and Mason ahve cost the Dogs there salary cap and of most ire have forced the Dogs to part with quality clubmen in Asotasi, OMeley and most of all the spiritual leader in the great Steven Price due to lack of $$ Throw in one Johnathon Thurston and Nate Myles and it gets worse.
On this fact alone losing Price has crippled the club off field.
The roster has been full of over rated, immature, self adoring, mercenaries who care nought for the once proud great club the likes of Maitua, Mason, Tonga, Utai, and Ben Roberts and these blokes all need to go before the ol Canterbury can be restored.
Williams has been shafted by that snake in the grass Nasser who has only pointed SBW to France so he can get a slice of some big $$ whiuch he didnt get his grubby thieving little mits on when Williams signed hi9s 5 year deal under another manager.
Sonny has ruined himself leaving as he did and shoulda at least seen out this season then at least met with Ryan, Patten and the club etc to inform them of his wishes. As Ryan himself stated he coulda copped that at least he wouldve been informed and the playing group shown respect.
The Dogs are at rock bottom but imo the future will be ok and the former Canterbury Bankstown image may be re built.
Reni Maitua should be sacked as should be Roberts as they are poor role models, loose cannons and immature. Roberts is a dud anyway.
The signing of mature off field types in Kimmorley, Ennis, and Hannant and young Morris (who shoulda stayed at Dragons and i bet now wishes he did )will assist in improving the Dogs profile somewhat as these guys arent in the news every week for the wrong reasons.
Only way is up for the Dogs but i must say as a hard core long term Dogs supporter since 86 my faith in the Canterbury Bankstown Club has waned over the past 5-6 years as has my support as i no longer feel the passion for the club i once had due to all this rubbish and the poor behaviour of the imbecile supporter group.
Au Revoir Sonny .............................. what was that tripe about Mason earlier in the year also in regard to loyalty, mateship and integrity.
Your effort was much lower than Willies my boy.
To Andrew Ryan and Luke Patten and El Magic - kudos for your professionalism trying to hold together a basket case. Quality leaders that the club would be lost without.
The Dogswill rise again ...................... the NRL is on a knifes edge and this business will no doubt continue to plague the competition.
Dont know what can be done as removing the salary cap will send more than half of the Sydney clubs to the wall and i hope NRL realise this very fact.
Superleague and free markets destroyed the great Balmain - Ryde Tigers, Western Suburbs Magpies, North Sydney Bears and almost burried the South Sydney Bunnies. Thes are foundation clubs and great clubs.
