News Siosiua Taukeiaho will NOT be at the Bulldogs in 2024. He has not been released by Catalans and he failed a medical

[S.B.W_Jnr]

He's a good player but ain't a 100% should retire or take a year off recovering. I have a feeling Jordan Grant could be at the dogs next year and/or possibly Daniel Saifiti since Knights are going after Leo Thompson twin brother for 2025.

will the 'SST Signed' thread make 100 pages though?

Nasheed here,
This is where I’m going to shake my head.
I argued for weeks he was NOT medically fit for the nrl and got abuse from left right and centre.
I didn’t need the medical results to see this.
Those same kennelers will NOT put their hand up and acknowledge Nasheed nailed it.
I just need to silently Sip my Henny and wonder how do I harness my gift.

 

[Robbothedestroyer]

Sensible decision.
Queue the Benny Hill music more comedy gold.
Love the way our captain confirmed his signature……next minute

 

[Malla]

Anyway, @TheSexDogs is right. The hold up was Dogs. I think the fact 2 high profile front rowers are now there for the taking helped Gus make this decision also. While Sia failed his medical, it’s not like it’s career ending. He probably would have been available early next year.
Let’s see what happens now.

 

[Nasheed]

Where’s that Omar Hamden bloke now? Did his account get nuked?
He is one that definitely owes me, @bradtalo etc an apology

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Imagine if we missed out on AFB cause we couldn't match the Dragons all because we signed this cripple who never made it onto the field

I think we're missing out of him regardless. Have to hope there's something to the Taumalolo talk and/or some other movements happening early next year.

So who plays prop in 24 now? We have lost two high priced props and replaced with fkn no one

Most likely, King and Knight starting (Curran lock - Mann or Salmon playing a bit of middle when Curran needs a rest/we want to play more attacking) and Sutton and Patolo on the bench (not sure we have many other middles in the top 30 currently - maybe Hughes if he's top 30). It's pretty grim...

IBS dog probably starting prop at this rate.

If we’re seriously going into 2024 with a prop rotation of King, Sutton, Patolo and Hughes then someone needs to give Davey Middleton the heads up that the NRL for and against record will well and truly be obliterated. I can’t wrap my head around what a complete and utter failure in recruitment that would be.

 

[Doggiezbrah]

Fair enough that we knocked him back due to a failed medical. I wanted him because the options were very limited in the market and his experience might have been handy. Hoping we are chasing JT and AFB hard.

Hughes is indeed top 30. We know all the top 30 squads now. Nrl published them last week.

I'm pretty sure Gus said on Twitter they're not 100%

 

[dogzofwar]

I heard he forgot his mobility scooter and that was the end of it

 

[GoTheDoggies]

How many of these “recruits” are there to throw Chammas and the other niff nuff journos off the trail.

Any opportunity to have a go at us. Routine non-recruitment when it happens at other clubs and they don't proceed with injured players
