After joining in 1935, the CBs or Cantabs (they became the Bulldogs in 1978) won their first GF in 1938 with these guys:

This was Souths' team from their first season 1908

I can't find a date on this one but two of the signatures seem to be Ron Coote and Ron Costello. Costello played from 1964-72 but NOT for the Bunnies. Coote is a Souths legend who spent from 1964-71 at Redfern.

There was a classic piece of Wayne Bennett in the post-match presser last night. He's complaining that te NRL hadn't told them when and where they would be playing next week. ?@?#?$?%?#?

 

Clearly doesn't understand that other RL teams are also playing this weekend and that, given his team could finish anywhere from 4th - 7th, nobody knows for sure what next week's schedule is. Since the Bronx played on Thursday they will get a minimum 8-day turnaround so WTF is he whining about.

[Farmduck]

Scrum feed overturned after dumb move by Inglis to touch the ball before he stepped out of play.
