Well....the Dogs do have an emotional, shall we say "flavour" amongst their fans. I think they were burning Melbourne Storm flags in the streets after last years GF loss.

A habit I guess brought in from the old country .......
Careful mate, I don't like where that's going...

Imagine if he comes back from injury and plays us in round 26 at suncorp haha if it was at ANZ there would be brawls

If Broncos do scrape into the 8 there's every chance we'll have to play the dogs first week of the finals at ANZ.

Gee should offer them Maranta as a trade and film their reaction.

I'd be prepared to give the Bulldogs sweet **** all in return for Barba.

I would be very dissapointed to lose Hoffman as he has been a gun this year. If we get Barba though it won't be a huge loss as Barba has got great attacking ability and is improving in defence and is more willing to put his body on the line.

BRISBANE are prepared to pay compensation to the Bulldogs as part of a severance package that will deliver Ben Barba to the Broncos until the end of 2017.

The Sunday Mail can reveal the Broncos will table a four-year deal for Barba, who is awaiting a formal clearance from Canterbury hierarchy after his management requested a release a fortnight ago.


Des Hasler stands as the final impediment to Barba’s contract being rescinded, but it is understood the Bulldogs coach will not stop the Dally M Medallist joining the Broncos next season.


While Hasler was hopeful of securing a Plan B signing such as Israel Folau, Bulldogs sources said the coach will put Barba’s family needs ahead of the club’s recruitment pursuits.


Broncos boss Paul White and Canterbury counterpart Raelene Castle have had informal discussions about Barba. The Bulldogs have yet to formally ask for a transfer fee, but the Broncos expect that to occur and will duly compensate Canterbury for Barba’s early release.

i just hope hoffman will take one for the team and play his heart out on the wing if barba joins. we'd be pretty deadly on the left hand side (barba to reed to hoffman). i just worry as quite a lot of ex broncos players left us with a desire and promise of playing fullback elsewhere.
