I just like to some footy now and then.

Bring back Kangaroo tours and Lions tours. Not 20 matches, maybe 6 mid-weeks and 3 tests. Oh how I miss those tour matches, I loved watching them. There was always something so magically mysterious and exotic about those tours.
Thanks Kevin Sinfield, you will be missed
Barba?? Oh please, he had ONE good season. He’ll never reach those heights again.

I think you’re being a bit harsh there. It’s unfair to judge a player as unworthy simply because he didn’t have a crack at the NRL. I only ever saw Sinfield play at intl. level and he was a real handful out wide. Speed, toughness and uncompromising professionalism is what he displayed in those World Cup games that I saw. He would have made it in the NRL, I have no doubt.

Was it 1989 when Steve Roach got about 4 weeks for something similar? He got marched for back-chatting, then he gave Eddie Ward a pat on the head for good measure and then blew up at the touchy on his way off. 4 weeks…The Dogs are copping something similar and they didn’t touch the ref.
I’d call that progress 🙂
Bulldogs captain James Graham facing five-week ban
That’s what I’m saying, of course they are going to accept all penalties, only an idiot would oppose it. I reckon they’ll have a media ban for the players involved too. If I was in the Bulldogs hierarchy I’d be keeping them under lock and key for a few weeks to serve out their suspensions very, very quietly.
Five questions from the NRL’s not-so-Good Friday
You’ll probably find it under some sort of amendment to the rule. He wasn’t penalised for the ‘charge down’, he was penalised for the ‘dangerous contact’.
Now, I am no guru of all the rules, I just like watching my footy, but this dangerous contact rule is so ambiguous that it is open for all sorts of interpretation. I like that it is there to protect players from injury and foul/dangerous play, but the ref made the call and that was all she wrote.
Unfortunately, Rugby League is not like Chess, refs and rules will never be perfect. It sucks some days, but that’s footy. Wouldn’t it be fun if the Bulldogs won it this year? Just to see all those anti-Bulldogs going ballistic would be a sight, and sound to behold 🙂

Still, at least he didn’t deny anything or claim any or all parties to be innocent. Ya gotta give him that.

Oh splendid advice! Of course that’s what the club is going to do. I think the doc took a bit too much off when you had your lobotomy.

Well, with whole scenario of Friday night, he neither condoned it nor condemned it. He simply tells it as it is leaving the punishments up to the powers that be, as will/has happened.
I don’t know what it is you are fishing for Jay C. Actually, I do. Go back and read my last line of text…you fit the mold quite comfortably.
I don’t see what was so ironic about those words…unless Ryan is a Bulldogs supporter, which I do not know.

I don’t remember any rule change as the result of a Steve Price charge down, but since I can’t prove you right or wrong I won’t argue the point.
Where Don is correct is that Price did everything on his feet and I never saw him touch an opposing player during a chargedown attempt. Another thing I remember is that they never worked for him, if he did get a rebound it either went to the opposition who were automatically put onside and given 6 again, or, the once or twice he did regain it, it was called a knock-on because he played at the ball. It used to get up my nose something awful every time he did it and I wished he would stop.
I can certainly understand charging down a field goal attempt. I don’t know if the rule still stands that if you touch a ball in flight it nullifies the point and a scrum is packed, maybe its changed, I dunno.

Wow! A balanced and unbiased opinion, thank you Ryan O’Connell.
It’s been getting boring reading nothing but columns and comments that Bulldogs fans, players and officials should be hung, quartered and have their heads displayed on the Harbour Bridge, then have their competition points taken away for the next hundred years.
But be aware, such rational thought is being spat upon by the hot-headed haters. Ironic really, that their spewing is somewhat similar to the Graham/Klemmer tantrums that have got us all talking in the first place.

PRICHARD: NRL must throw the book at the Bulldogs
Hang on, let me get out my Rodney Rude vernacular guide so as I can get it just right.
And…
I dunno, why do they keep half the Jersey Flegg locked in the garage?
PRICHARD: NRL must throw the book at the Bulldogs
Sorry north. Sometimes I forget myself, and the fact that Rugby League is no place for well balanced thought. I shall, in future, save it for the Rugby Union forums 😀
James Graham is a poor excuse for a captain
Yes, I do, thank you.
