If Xerri is dropped, Gus should sack Ciraldo on the spot. That would be disgraceful to have easily our most damaging centre/winger in the NRL squad in NSW Cup after terrorising Melbourne in Melbourne

hhhahahahhahahhahahahahahah what????? He runs when we have 4 on 2 overlaps, talks fuck all (have you been to a match live?), kicked 3 times other night as the teams halfback and defends well? What? Blokes had some terrible defensive reads all year, cost us two tries other night alone. What on...

As long as he comes in at 7. Fullback Tracey is levels above, but Taafe was never a fullback anyway.

A halfback who only kicks 3 times. And they want Burton running the ball. Won't happen if he's setting up for tackle 5 continuously.

3 weeks in a row he has bombed overlaps by running and last night conceded two tries with poor efforts in D. If Ciraldo doesn't drop him after that, my goodness.

Vs Knights @ Accor BYE Vs Tigers @ Accor Vs Penrith @Bluebet Vs Raiders @ Suncorp Vs Dragons @ Accor Vs Knights @ Mcdonald Jones -major bye Round Our schedule for the next 7 weeks is very good in my opinion. Knights likely without Ponga and have not been great this year, Tigers, Penrith...

Burton was great last night. A few poor kicks at the end but he should not have to do that, he isn't a halfback. We are a decent halfback short of winning last night for so many reasons. Burton I'll say forever, will be an elite 5/8 once we fix our no7.

If we somehow even get within 10 this week, it's a huge effort considering.

Joseph Oneil tore up in cup at Belmore. What a talent. Great short kicking game, great runner, organiser and he played both sides of the field. What a talent. Could easily see him being a 7.

Get the squad to go to Melb earlier surely? Train there during the week and setup base. Gives us our best chance to bond as a team and prep for Melb.

My boy is coming. Someone just give him an organising half to play with. Maybe top 3 2024 was too bold since he's stuck with Hutcho. But 2025 or 2026 more realistic. Either way, King Burto will dominate.

Man some of you guys dribble all day. Just stop. This is a great appointment. Blokes young but has achieved it all. He rises in big moments and openly says he wants to be the one to make the big plays whether it backfires or not. He's a great talker. He backs the coach and has known him a long...

Taaffe is dead average LOL We have nothing to lose giving Critta a crack at fullback. He's a world class footballer and worst case we have an elite centre.

Just took last spot in the SC classic comp my name on there is Billiris' Army

Matt Burton 2.0 is coming in just a couple of weeks. Just a reminder ;)

Big year for Burto. I think he'll take his game to another level. He gets hate on here, but he can make it as a super 5/8. The odd times we have played well the last two years, he has had blinders in most of them.

Critta will be fullback. Everything else is just a smokescreen. Yes, it is true BT and even Wilson have all had goes training at fullback. However so has Critta, and Ciraldo is making everyone believe it'll be anyone else fullback but Critta. Critta for 1.

Dogs have signed Luai. Leaking Tigs to media just a smokescreen. 950k, 5 year deal.

Again, why do we keep debating this. Critta is 100% starting FB next year Round 1 Tracey has been signed for centre cover / fullback if anything happens to critta it will be 1. Critta 2. Fox 3. Xerri 4. Tracey 5. Kiraz

Burton will be 6 and Critta 1. This is set in stone, whether you like it or not. Curran is also certain to be 13. Burton has all the potential to be an elite 6, and yes he’s on big money but no one last year was going to deliver when our pack got crunched every game. When we play well, Burton...

The games best back rower at his best.

Critta has been around the club, but not starting training yet. Did some media stuff other day, won't be long

Keep believing that.

Critta will be fullback Not sure why he wouldn’t get a go in his favourite position with a full pre season there. BT is serviceable but the best teams have X Factor at the back. Critta should get first crack end of story Hutchinson will probably be halfback

Critta. Love his energy, passion, big game plays and also how good he is in the community off the field. Will be our #1 for the next 10 years. Watch him shine.

He's shit. Don't even bother asking

all bang average

Critta will be fullback, he has all the potential in the world to become a world class fullback. BT is a reserve grader. He will be there for depth, and potentially play as a 14. Maybe even compete for 7. Critta is the man for Fullback end of story

He has all the attributes to make it as a gun fullback too. Give him a full pre season there. People who don’t want to at least give him first crack there are crazy. The guy is a beast, if he wants it bad enough he deserves it

Defends well in the middle, would be fine at prop. Big and strong as well and plays big minutes.

We have offered Thommo a 1 year deal for 250k as I said. No clue about other clubs

This is as good as done.

Critta will be a gun fullback and leader at this club. He loves Ciraldo and will rip and tear for him. Give him a full pre-season back there and watch him shine.

Burton at 5/8. Everyone on here will have egg on their faces

Nothing article and misleading headline.

Why are we still talking about this useless piece of shit? He’s gone. Already back in QLD. bye bye

I know 100% it’s only 50k more than he is at Penrith this year. so if that’s true, Critta is on 700k with us for an elite centre/ potential good fullback that’s good value. And he’s a gun goal kicker

Critta is only getting 50k more at the Dogs than he was this year at Penrith. Penrith stalled negotiations with him, Critta wanted his future settled earlier and his close relationship with Ciraldo got him over the line. don’t listen to these muppets throwing ridiculous figures out there

Here’s some facts that most of ya’ll don’t know. We did offer Alamoti a deal. Just like we offered one to Averillo who DECIDED TO LEAVE. Just not a top 30 one. Club basically told him we’d love to keep developing you but you would have to play SG Ball/NSW Cup next year before being considered...

Dymock's attacking style was evident late 2011. He even dropped Morris which made him an even better player. Dymock had balls. 2012 Des literally copied it and took all the credit Des was a great defensive coach. But attack wise, Dymock ran the show.

Hopefully convinces him to break his contract. If we get a big name prop for 24' could change everything

Average and Replaceable.

He defended on his preferred side vs Knights at Accor and the guy was at fault for 85% of their tries

Burton will be 6 not just next year for a long time to come. Get him a dominant forward pack and he will deliver

if he gave up twitter half the clubs issues would disappear gus loves attention.

Gus to announce next he's giving up twitter, putting the boots on and playing prop next year

Not true. Manager and player himself said proud to be a Bulldog. A thread on this? The Kennel pre season.... I'm telling you this place no good gents

Flanno will make a good 9. Defends well, good passing and support play. Wish him the best. Great fella.

The Kennel says he's better than Burton though Burton playing his worst footy would still dominate NSW Cup

Fat, gasses after 10min, not fit and always injured Bye bye

and Luai is 5x the player Grub ever was

He is. Still has some time in him and is a Bulldog. Has size and x factor we need in the forwards

This guys already old news Moses Mbye 2.0

I was told we made some enquiries a few months back about bringing Kasiano back to the club for 2024, he has carved out quite an impressive Super League career would not surprise me if you see him in Dogs colours again

Hutcho has been bought to challenge for the #7 He can defs get a side around the park. Interesting if he puts pressure on Sexton

He has a dig better than luke thompson Poasa doesn't shirt grab at least.

That's his style A thread on this really. the Kennel during pre season is a disaster

Burton's junior career was 10x BBO BBO has an even worse kicking game than Burto BBO was terrible in NSW Cup this year Burto has represented his state and country, Burto has won a comp. Burto was our best player last year by a mile. Not his best season this year but comparing those two is...

Okunbar sucks but he trained harder than Topine Trying to set standards. Short term pain long term gain

Sutton will be at the club next year

also, as i said we did offer Thompson an extension for 250k i still can’t get word if he’s taking it or not… but the longer he takes to announce where he’s heading, the more likely maybe he will take it?

was that officially announced? that’s good then. got some wraps on him

We won’t be chasing Luai Club wants to give Sexton a chance to cement the 7. him and burto have a whole pre season to work on their combo

I know we did offer Sam Hughes a new contract assuming he’ll re sign

One guy loves the Dogs and works for them vs One guy hates the Dogs what we gonna learn off this again ?

As I said, I have very strong mail he has been a nuisance since mid year. Has been talking to others behind Ciro's back about how training is too tough etc He is next to no chance at being at the club next year, unless some miracle happens. After Avo verbally agreed to re sign then...

The players are humans. i think we forget that they still work their asses of all year. they can enjoy a mad monday or mad whatever they want

The media has been on our backs all week why the fuck would he savage the players in a presser in the last round of the year when he knows the media are waiting to create more headlines about us do you blokes think or just panic yourselves to dumb comments

Can you guys just stop talking garbage He's not a star but there is no fucking star off contract What he is a hard worker, someone who competes and trains the house down. It drives standards. Cheap as fuck too. He's not a bad signing so kick the fuck back We have 2.5mil free and when a big...

Fuck Andrew Davey the soft f*** Run it straight and I'll f*** you up myself

1. Critta 2. Fox 3. Skelton 4. Kiraz 5. Wilson 6. Burton 7. Sexton 8. Taukeiaho 9. Mahoney 10. Hughes 11. Kikau 12. Preston 13. Morrin 14. King 15. Knight 16. Patolo 17. Salmon 18. Xerri (needs time in cup) 19. Taafe (Critta deserves first shot at FB) Actually doesn't look too bad...

I'll say this 55 times and idc. Critta with a full pre season at fullback will kill it this whole thread was a lol from the start dogs fans worst fans in the comp

Delete thread

Critta will be our fullback and a good one with a full pre season under his belt training there Taafe was always signed to be 14 and cover 7. when people realise this the better. debating over nothing

Mason was a traitor. He was a Bulldog when it suited him.

We have offered Thommo 250k one year deal for next year Can't comment for other teams and their offers, but that's what we have done

Fuck that guy got on my nerves Maybe I was a Hokko fan boy but the sad thing is we have not even had a proper halfback since Hokko chipandchase proper had some vendetta against him hahahahahahah

Gus job is to fix our junior pathways and systems. He has done a great job at that. His involvement in everything else is a stain... focus on the juniors and talking out of your ass on ch9. Don't need anything else

Baghdatis mate

HAHA send me a message. No clue who you are :tearsofjoy:

haha not quite... though I'm still here. The mods/admins after I turned 18 gave me a new account basically to start fresh and here it is. I wish i still had my original bigdog2 account though.. that was legendary. A 14 year old kid lurking the forums having Hodkinson debates with chipandchase...

Topine is a little bitch 2 years ago at Revesby Workers he was having dinner and talking shit about the club because he said he doesn't understand why he can't get a good go in first grade no coach has given him much of a chance. makes sense why Him and whoever else doesn't like the...

Yes we will miss Malla's 1 in every 60 strike rate. Oh what will we do without him....

A few of these lads will be fast tracked to NRL next year. Ciraldo rates them highly

softy

Gus to come out on twitter to accuse Buzz of more media lies when everyone knows the latest rumours are true. Loyal Gus fanboys on here to blow a load over this tweet before the side loses by 40 again this week. Rinse and repeat. Cycle to continue. fuck i hate this thread

Des is what put our club backwards for years fkn LOL

I have been told from a pretty reputable source it’s Hoffman.

Yes RFM got appointed captain and cause of this when he opened his big fucking mouth he created a toxic culture and tried to get players on his side. Mate the guy is a stain and has basically blackmailed Ciraldo. He can fuck off

It's not Kiraz It's a forward.. not sure who but I am trying to find out. What I do know is RFM has caused all this mess, he openly spoke out halfway through the year about how our training and expectations are too much and has caused more dissatisfaction amongst the players don't forget we...

what’s a fringe first grader going to do behind a pack doing fuck all? get your hopes down kid. he’ll be lucky to even play on bench come Round 1 next year.

what? hahahahhahahahahaha the guys a nsw cup player not saying he won't go good .... but settle a bit.

He was bought as challenge to Sexton, there's no thought to him being a fullback. Fullback will be critta, backup blake wilson

Hard. It'll be Critta with a full pre season under his belt at fullback who'll make that position his own next year. People are over thinking this

under our current systems and pack, he would do nothing correct

The fact Ciraldo thought a terrible winger would make a good forward …. concerns me a little

3. Max King (tries his ass off) no one else deserves a point

Sad thing is everything Buzz has said about Gus this year is spot on People on here still keep sucking off Gus though

Need more assistance from our back 5 in our sets if our pack is still this shit next year 1. Critta 2. Kiraz 3. Skelton 4. Xerri 5. Fox Their main job is to get our sets rolling… Skelton could become the next Marzhew

Critta will be first choice fullback and will be a great one with a full pre season there. he’s a big game player and the more he touches the ball the better we will be. Taafe will be 14 Burto 6 Sexton 7 but Taafe will be breathing down his neck
