The supernatural is the domain of vampires and crystal ball owners doing their best to convince us of the possibility of other-worldly connections. The average NRL prop will tell you the other side is nothing more than the mongrels they're playing against but Test star Steve Price claims to have made contact with Peter "Bullfrog" Moore on three occasions since the late Bulldogs patriarch died in 2000.

Price's recently released book Be Your Best contains a chapter relating to a psychic reading with Moore in 2002 that warned of the club's salary cap scandal - before it happened.

"I've always believed that there is more to life than meets the eye - that when we die it's not necessarily the end of the road," Price writes.

"I'm not a religious person and I don't go to church every week but I do believe that there is something else out there. That belief has only been strengthened by a series of strange but undeniable incidents that have taken place over the past decade or so. And none of them blew me away to quite the same extent as an email I received from Mum in 2002.

"Not long after Peter Moore passed, Mum called to tell me about a conversation she'd had with a friend of hers. He had often spoken to her about his psychic abilities … one day he said to Mum, 'I've had an experience that's to do with Steven.' He went home that night and wrote out the conversation for her and after reading through it, she really didn't know whether to tell me about it or not."

Next day, Price received the email from his mother. He "freaked out".

The psychic told Price that Moore had "important messages for both me and the club".

"When I read through what he had written I was taken aback - even though I wasn't completely sure what he was referring to at the time. His knowledge of the personal relationships I had with Peter and others was incredible. I couldn't discount it."

Price details three readings between the psychic and Moore. The first came after the former Bulldogs boss died in 2000; the second before the salary cap saga in 2002 and the third just before he joined the Warriors in 2005. Price describes them as "scary in their accuracy."

In Be Your Best he recalls the second reading. The psychic is "Friend" and Price is convinced the responses originate from Moore.

Friend: "Is it still possible to speak to "Bullfrog" Peter Moore?

Response: "No he is in too far. I can speak to you."

Friend: "Who are you?"

Response" "Dafid. I am Welsh. I speak as though I am him."

Friend: "OK. Is there anything Peter would like to tell me?"

Response: "He does want to give a message to young Dogs. Is that the right name?"

Friend: "Yes. What is the message?"

Response: "Do not despair. Just cop it on the chin. Do that for the team and for yourself. Nothing else matters but the survival of the club. Let this be a lesson to you all. No one is mightier than the game - no player, no club. From this a greater club will rise. Take a moment to reflect on the consequences of your actions. You almost destroyed the club - my beloved Dogs. Hold onto the principles of being a true Dog. I am saddened that money counted most. You have been led along that path."

Friend: "What are the principles to hold onto? Do they know?"

Response: "The Dogs come first. You must make sacrifices for the survival of the club. I am glad to be able to talk to you. I can't for much longer though, there is no such thing as time here."

Friend: "Any message for Steve Price?"

Response: "Son, you face a far greater test than on the field. I know that you can come through with both your credibility and honour intact. Remember everything we talked about … let the players decide if they are just players or Dogs."

Friend: "In what way?"

Response: "Money or honour."

Friend: "Anything for anyone else?"

Response: "There are two Steves. Pricey, I taught you what it means to be a Dog. Everything I taught you will bear fruit now. Separate the grain from the chaff. I don't remember everything and soon there will be nothing, so you remember."

Friend: "Who is the other Steve? Steve Folkes?"

Response: "No, Steve Mortimer. You have taken on a great burden. The path is not easy, mate, but you are up to the task. Now for the club."

Friend: "You have a message for the club?"

Response: "If they will believe what you're doing, stick with the boys. Remember the Bulldogs spirit. A Bulldog led London from the ashes of near defeat. This is the Bulldogs spirit. You can do the same. Think of what I am saying and rally around the Bulldogs. The chaff will go, Dogs will be left. Take heed of the lessons and go on to victory next year. Be brave my Dogs … Pricey, son, let go of the past and go forward. Do not forget me but build on what I taught you. You will still have a mighty team. I can't tell you the future, I don't know mine. Go for it son, you are on a winner. Dogs a winner."

Friend: "Anything else?"

Response: "Just build up from the ashes and be great again. Take your time and be careful who you let in this time. There are people who could not give a stuff about the club other than what they can get out of it - money, prestige or both. Stick to those that stand by your shoulder. Well, that's everyone. Remember me and all I've stood for, the mighty Dogs. They and family were my life on earth."

After this reading, the humiliated Bulldogs were found guilty of rorting the salary cap. After this reading, the club was fined $500,000 and lumped with the wooden spoon after being docked 37 competition points.

After this reading, Mortimer became the Bulldogs chief executive. After hearing, Price began his fight to keep his credibility and honour intact. Go figure.
