No Foran, Norman, Radradra, Scott, Jennings, Watmough (how much salary cap is that?)
Peats and Paulo moved on. (That makes the tally 8 players out of the 17 that started the 2016 season)
So many players out of position.
A number 7 that has been at the club 2 weeks, a 5/8 that hasn't played their since he was 14 and started the year as a 21 year old, nervous winger coming back from a knee reconstruction, yet they are still creating tries.
No luck, and again the referees killed us.
Another enormous effort and pride in the jersey for the full 80mins. The boys didn't deserve to concede that last try.
All heart today. Well done again boys and BA.

Yeah I agree mate, it was another solid effort, when you add Peats, Watmough & Paulo to that where playing with less then half the salary cap!
MAX - your job is to re-sign BRAD ARTHUR. Period
Was great to hear a bit of credit where it's due too.
Listening to the fox commentary, (think it was Kevi Walters) he couldn't praise them enough for their efforts and never say die attitude.
what still bugs me to this day is whether we actually needed to let go of Peats to get under the salary cap. If that merkin Foran was honest with us about his intentions i dare say we would have kept Peats. Same with Paulo. Couldn't he bloody well inform us a few weeks earlier that he was gonna walk mid season? what, so letting go of Morgan watmough paulo and pauli weren't enough to stay under the cap this season??......hmmmm, okay. I don't really recall the Bulldogs of 2003 losing anyone and Storm only lost Inglis after there scandals. Greeenturd's hatred of our club is to blame for the dessimation of our squad.
Interestingly, I was reading an article the other day and it claimed that we had unfairly assembled a 'SUPER STAR SIDE' by cheating the cap. If I remember correctly, in the preseason few if any of the so called experts thought we had a 'SUPER STAR SIDE' - we really only had one marquee player signed in Foran.
To achieve to what this side has in recent months with all the off field crap, leaking factions, disgruntled ex employees, media bias and agendas, as well as a heavily depleted side, is nothing short of miraculous. BA should have a statue put up outside the new ground after its built.
I second that idea, it might not seem like much, but they deserve our appreciation, even if only in a small way
Now the season is mathematically over, I only hope the last 7 games is done without having too many put on us. That would be cruel to a group of players who have done us proud in the most trying of circumstances.
