The league would not and should not let any more junior teams fall under the nefarious influence of the Bulldogs. If any club had to be turfed from the NRL, it ought to be them. They epitomise everything diabolical in modern professional sport:
1. The "it's not our fault, we're bing picked on" mentality.
2. A "win at all costs" attitude that manifests itself in systematic cheating of the salary cap, then bleating they've been picked on when caught, despite the league letting them keep the squad together to win a comp 2 years later.
3. Crowd violence, sadly sometimes racially based.
4. An appalling attitude towards women, manifesting itself in the Coffs dramas (not that there were criminal charges, but still a bad look) and the players running past female reporters on their way out to training and calling them "sluts"
5. Fans, players and club cultivating a myth about themselves that they have this wonderful "winning culture", when they've won 2 (two!!) comps in 20 years, one of those in 04 with aforementioned squad put together by cheating.
6. Involvement in corruption (cf the Liverpool project that was at the heart of the salary cap rorts).
7. Cultivating sponsors in direct competition to the chief sponsor of the code (though in these times I don't hold that against them so much).
That club is a blight on the game, and I'd love to see it lanced like the pus-headed growth it is.
