Who goes for Woods?

[Mr Invisible]

Now that Aaron Woods has been confirmed with the club, the question comes as to who is going to be looking for another club.

Currently we have:
8 Tolman
10 Graham
13 Klemmer

14 Kasiano
15 Fualalo
16 Eastwood

and on the books:



Even if we had the cap, we simply can't have the team with 7 potential props in the 17 man lineup.

Tolman - proved his worth last night.
Graham - a natural leader and plays with so much heart.
Klemmer - animal and best mates with Woods.
Kasiano - beast when he's on his game.
Fualalo - really good up and comer.
Eastwood - average at best lately.

Griffin, Saunders, Taulau - unlikely to ever play first grade.

So does that mean in the future we are likely to see:
8. Graham
10. Woods
13. Klemmer

14. Tolman
15. Kasiano
16. Fualalo
17. RFM/Second Rower

Graham definetly. I don't want him to go but I can't see des playing him anywhere else besides prop.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

One of Tolman or Graham should be moved on + Eastwood and/or Kasiano if required.

 

[Hound_Dog]

We wont lose any forwards who are currently on contract unless another club picks up the remainder of the whole contract value, and that would be Eastwood and/or Kas.

Sharks want Kas, though Dogs wont release him and pay part of his salary and Sharks are playing hard ball.

Regardless, we have Graham, Kas & Eastwood off contract next year.

Fualalo needs to reduce his asking price if he wants to remain a Bulldog.

We will not lose Adam Elliott

 

[Boxer]

I think Graham and Eastwood are our best option.

 

[Wolfmother]

The most popular player will go.. that's just how Des rolls

 

[GoTheDoggies]

Cap is going up to 9.14 million we should be able to keep everyone.

Based on form Eastwood. Kasiano is still too big of a loss, he is a game changer.

But thats pretty dumb imo. Graham, Klemmer, Tolman and Woods are all starting players with big motors...4 doesn't go into 3 positions, one of our starters has to go.

What do YOU think our 1 to 17 will be next year?

 

[Heckler]

Eastwood needs a new start somewhere else. Kasiano IMO needs to prove his constitancy otherwise he can go. Graham is a keeper unless he wants to go. Tolman is a must. Hes our scrambler and a big minute player.

Eastwood needs to go no doubt about it.

I can honestly see Des trying to fit someone like Fualalo into the backrow next season until Graham retires then promote To'omaga with Fualalo moving back into prop

Graham and Tolman rarely bend the line, I'd try and keep for their defensive work rate alone. Keep Klemmer and Woods fresh who can bend the line and change the game.

8. Graham
10. Woods
11. Elliott
12. Jackson
13. Faitala-Mariner

14. Klemmer
15. Kasiano
16. Tolman
17. Fualalo/Frawley

Having big motors on the bench means we can carry a utility such as Frawley comfortably.

benching Klemmer is pretty ridiculous tbh.

[Spoonman84]

8. Klemmer
9. Mbye
10. Woods
11. Jackson
12. Elliott
13. Tolman (limit his hit ups and up his tackles to help Mbye in the ruck)

14.Graham (impact player with shorter minutes)
15. Fualalo
16. RFM
17. To'aomoga

Gone
- Eastwood
- Kasiano
- Lichaa

 

[Bad Billy]

I'd like to see Eastwood go as he offers little, anymore.
However, the problem with "moving players on" is that other teams have to want them, or you'll get nothing for them.
So with that in mind, tolman ?

Graham and Tolman rarely bend the line, I'd try and keep for their defensive work rate alone. Keep Klemmer and Woods fresh who can bend the line and change the game.

They have been bending the line for the last 4-5 weeks.
