A sight for sore eyes - Matt Utai toplessAs Brett Kimmorley returned to training yesterday, the Bulldogs rubbed tasty salt and vinegar into Newcastle's wounds by training in their colours.
"I don't see why we can't," coach Kevin Moore said. "They're out now, so their colours are up for grabs."
NRL Chief David Gallop confirmed an obscure by-law allows a defeated semifinals team's colours to be worn by their vanquisher. "It harks back to the league's primal origins, when the winner would wear the skin of the beaten during their next training run. I've got no problems with what the Dogs have done."
Meanwhile, League HQ reported today that "Bulldogs chief executive Todd Greenberg said the club was satisfied with a $5000 fine imposed on the Knights after his players complained about being badly scratched by an illegal grip pad worn by Newcastle forward Richie Fa'aoso last weekend."
I'll take it from here...
The Knights players had joined the Bulldogs players for a drink after the game at Forresters, when Richie Fa'aoso reportedly lined up several Dogs players against the wall and slapped them in the face while wearing the grip pad. Luke Ricketson could not be reached for comment, though CCTV footage reportedly shows him exfoliating his handsome face with the grip pad later in the evening.
