Is that tongue in cheek, if not pls provide a few examples?If there's one thing in the NRL you can bet your house on its that Melbourne forwards will flourish after they leave the Storm. /s
Ryan TandyIs that tongue in cheek, if not pls provide a few examples?
I realise that most are suggesting Flanagan which is a maybe.I honestly believe they have a plan in place for a certain coach, but it is only a hunch on who.
There is a rumor that Pay's extension was offered and will only be triggered by some results markers if he achieves them. I've heard this a few times, on radio I think - I cant remember.
The board are still playing the "Blame everything on the previous board" card for as long as they can.
When they sack Pay or don't re sign him they will remind us that he was hired by the previous board & not by them, but they gave him ample opportunity to prove himself... It just wasn't working & the club is moving in a different direction.
I'm not sure Trent Barrett is the answer especially given some of his dummy spitting at Manly. I would prefer to wait it out and get some like Jason Demitrou in. Take a gamble on someone who seems to have a very good track record in coaching clubs in the lower grades and being assistant to good coaches when they were doing well.I realise that most are suggesting Flanagan which is a maybe.
Though just a thought that crossed my mind (for better or worse), Trent Barrett is currently under contract and cant go anywhere but this finishes in a few weeks.
I wonder if they are considering making a play for him?
I don't really think its what we need but you never know.
The /s was to indicate sarcasm, so yeah tongue in cheek.Is that tongue in cheek, if not pls provide a few examples?
Okunbor has never grabbed a ball with the game in the balance from dummy half and ran up the short side with about a metre of space, which ended up in him running straight out with it, with only a single player tackling him.Okunbor was pretty average in reggies too and improved in first grade. Given he still has some wtf moments but he has improved. I dont see why we cant give harper a shot we have got nothing to lose at present
No fucking way!!!I realise that most are suggesting Flanagan which is a maybe.

Typical loser play wasn't it. Brain transplants need out Belmore way.Bravo Bulldogs.... the money spent on Stimson could have been used to get a decent hooker over the line. I mean.. every single other team and coach recruits players to bolster positions they are short on, or struggling in.
Oh but not Dean Pay... "MORE FORWARDS.. WE NEED MORE FORWARDS".
Fuck off Dean... we don't need more forwards... we need more playmakers.
and a new coach.

Does he play hooker ?MOD EDIT - NOW CONFIRMED
https://www.bulldogs.com.au/news/2019/06/04/joe-stimson-to-join-the-bulldogs-on-a-three-year-deal/
The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs have added to their forward strength by signing talented second-rower Joe Stimson for the next three seasons, keeping him at Belmore until the end of the 2022 season.
23 year-old Stimson made his debut for the Melbourne Storm in 2017 and has currently made 40 NRL appearances, including last season's Grand Final loss to the Sydney Roosters.
His big game experience will be a valuable addition to a young Bulldogs pack.
Coach Dean Pay was delighted at getting someone of Stimson's ability to the Bulldogs:
"Although he is still only 23, Joe has already got some big-game experience under his belt with the Storm and we feel that he will be a great addition to our forwards. We have a very young side in terms of age and NRL games, so to add someone with Joe's talent and winning attitude will be a big boost for us moving forward and I know that everyone is excited about what he can bring."

Buzz Rothfield stating dogs have signed him for 2020.... another backrower? Really think we have a few other positions that would be priority??

Like I said, I don't think its what we need but I was wondering if that's something they are thinking about.No fucking way!!!
I look at it as an opportune buy, we have 3 props/2nd rowers off contract this year and he is better than all 3 of them. Which includes Martin, who obviously has discipline problem, a fringe 1st grader at 26 years old and I suspect it's no coincidence that his goal kicking has dropped off markedly. No one seems to have mentioned it, but he missed one last week that would have tied up the game in the end, that last year he would have kicked. Where is Nasheed when you need him, bet he would be claiming that Holland would have kicked it.Bravo Bulldogs.... the money spent on Stimson could have been used to get a decent hooker over the line.
