Dugan can't pass and Bird isn't a specialist fb at this stage. Teddy is the more desirable option. Id personally go for Bird though.
Best option would be "wait and see" with abbey. Looks like he is getting better and better every week. But due to Des and his conservative ways, we are now time constrained. (Ie we could have conducted the brad abbey experiment last year).

If he is/was a dud, I agree jack bird is the best of the three. Duges would have been perfect when barba had fucked off. Tedesco is good, but not a million good at this stage anyway. Maybe in the future.

Still think Mitch moses or brooks is what we need.. but if reports are true that Des wants Tedesco, well.. it could mean that he is still keen on the forward dominated game..or he truly believes Moses/Frawley/Reynolds are the halves we need. Both options are fucking wrong imo.

I can see Woods taking a big offer to jump ship and partner his good buddy Klemmer and maybe we also get Brooks. Id say Tigers to keep Moses....Tedesco will likely go to the Roosters.

I'd be surprised if a Tedesco deal wasn't already made with the Chooks, Gordon has a one year deal for a reason, likely to bridge the contract year to make a play for Teddy and Uncle Nick often gets his man.

I think there will be a lot of movement with all clubs to be honest, 2018 will see some big names in new environments.

I don't think we have the time to wait and see though. All 3 players are in demand so if we are the slightest bit interested we need to be talking to them now.

The one player me MUST recruit is a halfback..though Des needs to actually revamp our attack this time round and not pretend to do it like he did this season. Not keen on either of the Tiger halves, but if i had to take one it would be Moses.

Tedesco is worth every bit of 1million in my opinion. Though equally happy if Des looks to build on Abbeys development. Hoppa can't be our future though in that position.

I dont see us gaining anyhting from eother of the 2 halves from Tigers. Dont think they offer much at all tbh.
But yeah, same as you if any Moses would be the pick, but he plays simiilar to what we have now so not gaining anything.
Like to see Frawley play a few more games before we splash the cash on anyone.

Frawley deservs a run just for his kicking game alone. But if Des is going to stick with his left/right side halves then i don't see much really improving.

We will not get Tedesco. Tedesco will either stay at the Tigpies or go to the Roosters.

Bulldogs recruitement capabilities extend to luring duds over on overs and I would not be suprised at all if it was Brooks or Moses.

I cannot see Cleary re-signing those 2 duds unless its on a very small contract.

The majority of the kennel are aware of how Des rolls and we wont see much change at all next year, if any.

I expect Desasters team to be

1. Floppa
2. Bmoz
3. Jmoz
4. Lee
5. Holland
6. Reynolds
7. Frawley/Brooks/Moses
8. Tolman
9. Mbye
10. Graham
11. Jackson
12. Eastwood
13. Klemmer

14. Kasiano
15. Elliott
16. Fualalo
17. RFM

18. Montoya
19. Garvey

I agree. Foran is good in my view but many, including gotenks think differently. To me he is the quintessential half back, a leader who will marshal the troops around. I remember in the manly days he'd fucking yell at his forwards (tony Williams in particular, and Justin horo). The bloke is just an out and out leader.

Personal issues and match fixing are big overhangs, but he hasn't had any criminal charges laid, so innocent until proven guilty.

Hoppa is a good fill in, he's like perrett. Agree there is no long term future with him there.

Tedesco has speed, but not sure if he has smarts and ball playing ability. But it's not so much Tedesco himself that I don't want, it's what Des is implying if he buys him. Ie a fullback to feed off forward based play, which implies no change!

After almost a year out of the game and serving up what Kieran served up was absolutely amazing to watch, hard and straight...the Guy is a great footballer with a huge heart.

We won't be signing anyone.
Rae Rae said that they signed Hasler and that results were never a part of the reason he was signed.
So, if we read betwern the lines, we signed Hasler for his nose whistling and as the results don't matter, we will stick with Mbye and Reynolds.
In the meantime, she is working on the new netball skirts for the boys....
Seriously, this club has gone to shit if we don't get a top class half and hopefully a top class fullback.
Knowing Rae Rae, we will get another "rockstar" again and that being Aaron Woods as our new fucking 7.
