Old Folkes Tale

In more Bennett talk, Bulldogs coach Steve Folkes says he is not worried about speculation the club will pursue the Bronco’s foundation coach, who is believed to have the support of several of the Bulldogs’ new directors.Folkes says he is not surprised.

“My contract is obviously finishing at the end of this year as well so there’s always going to be that speculation. But I think if you let all that stuff worry you, I think you are going down hill,” he said.

While it is believed Folkes has been given only the first couple of months of the upcoming season to impress at the Bulldogs, he says his only concern is getting a team ready to play a trial game this weekend.

“The players and I are just so much looking forward to getting on to the football field and playing rather than worrying about all the innuendo and rumour that’s going around,” he said.

“That’s all we want to do. I’m a coach, I want to coach, the players want to play so we’d prefer just to be left to do that to be honest.”

How poetic. 

Fat.
