Yep There is a lesson in that for all young footballers Get that ball down first and then do your post try celebrations afterwards

Luckily it was only a trial game and didn't cost us anything. Not a big Deal IMO, Dane would of learnt his lesson about it and a good one to learn early in the year.

Doubt he copped it too badly, the Warriors won the game by about 40 points. The coach wouldn't need to say too much to him, he would've learnt his lesson then and there.

I think "The Sandow" is worse
The Steps
1\. Kick a field goal with about 10 left in the game to go in front
2\. Celebrate like you have just won the Grand Final
3\. Be the sole reason for the oppositions winning try because of your defensive inability

The Sandow. Its going to be a thing

Haven't checked out the youtube footage but from memory two things Bulldogs related needs to be discussed, Max Mannix going for the big swan dive across the line only to lose the ball and Terry Lamb kicking a field goal against Newcastle at Belmore in the early 90's, couldn't work out why his team mates weren't coming up to hug him as he thought he had won the game, they were still one point behind, this is why he made such a great coach!.

Yeah agree with you that it is a good choice But Fullbacks are the lifeblood of any team
And anyway Front rowers and second rowers wouldn't know where to stand in the defensive line if it wasn't for us fullbacks

Yeah we stand out the back making the big tackles on blokes the second rowers couldn't tackle and we difuse the bombs that get rained on us because second rowers let the opposition down our end with stupid penalties and more missed tackles
We should change the game and get rid of second rowers make it 11 a side
Yeah thats right 13-2=11

Fullbacks used to remind me of those yappie dogs… Chiwawa?
I saluted the crowd one day at Dolphin Oval and lost the ball cold as I leaped to score... felt like the biggest idiot and it took nearly 3 months before the boys stopped ribbing me at training on Monday nights.
Getting OT here Happy, might start another thread to continue this discussion…I have plenty more ammo.
As for stuffing up a try, we once played on a field that had gridiron goal posts instead of league ones. It was supported by one post that rose out of the ground on the dead ball line and lurched forward to th tryline. I made a break, ran a thousand meters, miss judged the try line, rose a fist and dived straight over the dead ball line!
That was as embarrassing as hell. The crowd gave it to me for ages lol....worst part was the ingoal area was at least 10 meters deep. I had taken a number of steps inside the in goal before the big dive!

Endeavour Oval at Orange had a similar set up, it was a Yawnion ground but they allowed League games to be played at it early in the season when the usual grounds were unavailable due to cricket.
I also believe that the Orange sides in CYMS & Hawks 'had' to play there last season due to the Orange Council groundstaff destroying the surface of Wade Park making it unplayable and most country folk know the end result.

Russell Richardson ran the length of the field one night for the Sharks only to drop it over the line. There was also a Magpie player who ran the length of the field at C'town one day and put the ball down on the 10m line

I believe it's Chihuahua TW, and I'm with Happy on this one. We're the 70-80 kilo misfits who are usually the last line of defence when the fellas on the fringe are made to look silly. We also know how to play with bruised ribs since we're one of three men (if we're lucky,) in the team who know how to jump for the ball.

Matty Head and Nathan Merritt both had memorable blunders too. Head against us tried to put the ball down one handed and spilt it, Merritt against the Roosters made the break, had Myles chasing him and the ball just popped out. Both very funny moments.
