Some blame Kevin Moore, others blame the rookie halves, others still blame Kevin Moore. But League Blog can now reveal the true reason for the Bulldogs' mid-early-season form reversal: the royal wedding.
At half time of the Bulldogs game against the Broncos, the coach's speech was interrupted by calls from the players to switch on the nuptials. It is believed that these were lead by Ben Barba and Jamal Idris, both staunch monarchists. Coach Kevin Moore was initially against it, but he wisely relented in the face of Mick Ennis spray as he reached for the remote control.
At the climactic moment in the ceremony, there wasn't a dry eye in the dressing room - except for Andrew Ryan, who has had his tear ducts removed after hearing about Darren Lockyer's successful operation with the same procedure. Just as the Kleenex were being passed around, the call for the players to return to the field was made. Yet they were clearly in no state to play rugby league.
They went on to lose the match and their next two.
LB reaffirms its dedication to an Australian Republic.
