They have to be upgraded into the top 30 if they play over a certain number of games. It's not many games. I think only 6 or 7 after which they have to be upgraded.
No they actually don't. I don't know what you got that from.

It's train & trial players who have to be upgraded once they play 3 games.

no i am saying you take 6 players out put them in nrl you cant drop 6 contracted ones to nrl all season as the cup side will have cap as well and if its over 5 games they have be permeant fixtures which nrl wont allow having 6 dropping to qld cup as they can only go there n play 6-7 games


so not going happen , unless they are given full time nrl contrcts which nrl has finial say , plus i belive they have to play two years for us in qld cup to get the exemption if they havent they dont get upgrade till there two years in cup side up thats why few are waiting

I got it from Chat GPT. I'm going to go ahead and believe it over you if that's ok.

Don't try to pawn off your self-loathing here. No one wants it. Bulldogs won the spoon as little ago as 2021.

Of the current teams, only Parramatta have more spoons than the Bullgrubs and this guy is on here, poking fun at us for a spoon we haven't even "won"? Weird.
Bulldogs have maxxed out their cap buying every second decent player on the market but are still very, very far from a potential premiership winning team. Under these circumstances I can understand and sympahize him on here trolling us.

More importantly, it's better the team is starting like this rather than finishing like this as in the last 2 years. No false sense of security. We want a premiership winning side, not a Bulldogs style fringe top 8 team. Better to "win" the spoon rather than be satisfied, or very happy about as far as 2 257Matt is concerned, with a fringe top 8 team.

because of the quota the hooker carpas had left
Sorry don't mean to be rude
That doesn't make sense at all..

Grahame was with Redcliffe last year.? Correct.
He is top 30 player.? Correct
Why was he moved to Capras.?
Capras have ex development cowboys hooker Jai Hansen,
Capras have development hooker from dolphins this year. (Sorry forgot his name)
Redcliffe last year had Grahame, pitima & wolf who all played hooker at some stage throughout the year plus 0played lock also.

Redcliffe this year have pitima playing lock. Wolf on the bench & a new hooker starting & from what I see captain.

So again my question is why is Grahame sent to Capras, and our development hooker also sent there competing with another hooker they signed from Cowboys
Why ain't either of them at the dolphins.?

Just doesn't make sense to me at all

because when you have more than one feeder side they dont have stay at the same feeder side year to year they have a quota of top 30 in all there sides

The Bulldogs, as you elude to, are a grubby club.

Not a club I’d be proud of supporting at all. To each their own though.

Caught cheating, involved in things like Coffs Harbour. Trailer park trash in my opinion.

I don’t think he is trolling. He is just a supporter, that really isn’t a supporter.

Probably doesn’t get much love from the habibs in the bulldogs forum. So needs to come here to be noticed.

I feel sorry for him. So if coming here makes him feel better, I retract my suggestion he goes to the Bulldogs forums more.

I don't mind him. Some of his criticism is valid though with mitigating circumstances. No top players wanted to come here to start up a team from scratch. We had to sign older players for longer than any other club. Kenny B and Nicholls have definitely been going around a year too long.

I just took offence to a Bullgrubs supporter, the second most "successful" spoon club, trolling us with a spoon we haven't even "won".
