*Sigh* Idiots. That you compare the Panthers (or indeed any other club) as being as bad as the Bulldogs is ridiculous. *Clearly* they are not, not even close. Yes im sure corruption of some sort goes on at other clubs, but not on the MASSIVE scale thats gone on at the Bulldogs.
Firstly, players who get involved in fights or whatever from other clubs invariably GET PUNISHED, yes im sure theres plenty of times where they just keep it on the quiet when a player plays up, but then, theres plenty of time other people will get thrown out of a club instead of arrested. The Bulldogs sweep it under the carpet and let them off completely. But, seeing as you guys all seem to have short memories, let me just remind you what the Bulldogs have done.
* The salary cap rort by the administration, which was hidden so well that it took someone investgating something unrelated to football to find the anomalies, thus it was a massively calculated attempt to CHEAT by the administration.
* The rape scandal, something obviously happened, just because nobody was charged over it means nothing. The Bulldogs then fired the chairman and some others because the PLAYERS are thugs. So not only did it bring the whole club into disrepute, it lost some people their jobs.
* Their fans are without a shadow of a doubt the worst in the country, in just this year they have smashed seats and other people at a match, let off a flare at a game and intimidated and harrassed Cowboys supporters who were just there supporting their team. No other team has ever had the constant trouble that the Bulldogs do with their fans.
* One of their thug players beat the shit out of a police officer, is found guilty, then when the Bulldogs are asked if they will punish the player they said no, because he wasnt with the club at the time the offence was committed. So apparently Hitler could get a callup for this weekends Grand Final. Also, on a side note, Willie Mason was the guys character reference. As soon as the judge saw that he should have locked him up.
Craig Gower, Mark Gasnier and some other guy were caught drinking, breaking team camp rules and visiting a prostitute and they were suspended (in Gasniers case) and fined (though it should have been more, and all of them should have been suspended, but thats another story). But apparently what they did is far worse than bashing a police officer senseless as they were punished and the other guy wasnt.
* Willie Mason was drawing dicks and signing other peoples names on fans posters and stuff and ruining NSWs good name. He is like a 5 year old.
* The Bulldogs have a coke user on their team (at least one) which, before any idiot says its his choice, it is ILLEGAL to use any banned substances when you play in the NRL. The Bulldogs found this out with a positive drug test but then refused to give the results to the NRL so the player in question could be punished.
If Andrew Walker had stayed in the game he would have gotten a year or two in suspension, whoever it was gets away with it completely, even though the club has the evidence right in front of them.
The Bulldogs culture is one that perpetuates crap like that constantly. Mess up and we will cover it up.
