More info on Frank, he played five times for the Bulldogs 1st grade last year getting decent reviews in all his games.

He finished the season strongly holding down a place in the 1st grade for the last three rounds of the rgular season.

Please don't burden it with reason, it can't handle the truth.

It really is looking silly now.

That's absolutely fine......why did you just not say that on your original post, rather than try and make some lame point, which by the way was incorrect and just showed your ignorance to Rugby League and Visas in this country!!!

I did not see that the reserve grader played a developmental game back in 2006 that his own club did not think was worth recording. wow.

That you are resorting to such a signing shows a club going backwards. You may think otherwise.

btw, when was the last british coach to coach a GB/England side to a 3-0 series whitewash?

Tony Smith.


Edit: not sure if this is a 'matter of fact question' I can't be bothered reading this boring squabbling.

So he managed less than less than 20% of games. I expect in 2007 it was even fewer.

Why dont you research this fact, therefore you would be able to back up your boring arguments with some kind of reason, instead of assuming all kind of things in your original post, although for a hudds fan thats usually too hard

The Bulldogs did not think his developmental game(s) worthy of record. They have a point.

He is a reserve grader that played in less than 20% of games. Very poor bringing such players into SL. You pretend that this signing shows a club on the up...for a wakey fan that should not be too hard.

Yes all those, that's the point ffs NO IMPROVEMENT

except there was an improvement

under Hanley, Goodway, Larder Noble we failed to win a series,

in Smith we did we won one 3-0, something we hadnt done since the early 90's

when we had many many more British players in the league, and many fewer clubs relying on overseas talent
