Former Bulldogs

[Captain Ibis]

Just saw this photo online. This really epitomises what it's all about; these guys were unlucky to not get a premiership together but they can all hold their heads up high as footballers. What they have in memories, personal achievements both on and off the field, and of course friendships is priceless.

I was also watching some of their games last night so I found it fitting to have come across the photo today.

Good to see they're all doing well. JR is pretty involved in the investment scene as well, or at least was.

These boys had a really good chemistry when they played together and I thoroughly enjoy watching the games from that period.

This was really good. I didn't watch it all but he mentioned how when Bennett took over at the Dragons he only saw Josh as a winger and had the Dragons offer to him halved, meanwhile the Dogs and Roosters were also chasing his signature. He said the Roosters pulled out because they had younger guys to cover for Minichiello, but that he would likely have came to the Dogs because of their vision for him as a centre.

He also mentioned how Dessy was super loyal to his players and if for example the media did a hit piece on one of his players, he'd be on the phone blowing up at the author of said article. He also mentioned how some of Dessy's video sessions would go for like an hour and a half or so, but said that they went into games so confident with how much they knew about their opposition.
