News KENNEL CLEAN-OUT ON THE CARDS

[off-tap-robbie]

The Bulldogs have the ability to conduct a $4 million roster purge as new coach Trent Barrett weighs up the futures of 15 Canterbury players.

The Bulldogs have half of their squad coming off-contract this year, giving Barrett the freedom to make wholesale changes at Belmore after the club finished 15th last season.

Barrett has already landed key signings for 2022 in Storm star Josh Addo-Carr and Penrith’s Matt Burton.

And Canterbury is expected to be a major player in the recruitment market over the coming months as a number of current players fight for their NRL futures.

Among the 15 players off-contract this year is former State of Origin stars Will Hopoate and Dylan Napa while the likes of Jayden Okunbor, Lachlan Lewis and Jeremy Marshall-King are also looking for new deals.

Realistically what kind of signatures are still available for 2022?

Man, I saw the title of this thread and thought the mods would be dishing out a few bans .

It’s a make or break year for plenty of players in the squad. The only ones I’d like to re-sign are Atoni, Ogden and Okonbur but that’s only if they perform this year because at the moment they still haven’t cemented their place in first grade. The rest are dead wood and would really need a huge year to get re-signed.

We need a hooker still.

 

[ddt192]

We can’t afford to fuck this up. Besides a hooker we need a classy big bopper.

Napa and hoppa won't be there in 22,and there's a few more to follow,but what I'm expecting is these players putting there best foot forward for this club and there future NRL careers

 

[Rodzilla]

It’s pretty obvious looking at the list of contracts that there is going to be a big clean out it’s hardly some in depth investigation to put shit on the club.

 

[Moedogg]

I thought Nasheed had bought off the site as his ultimate revenge and ready to purge..

 

[Bulldogs09]

Yep. B smith and a hard nose prop in to replace Napa plz.

Brandon Smith and Emre Guler. Also contracted players will pop up.

 

[no1bulldog]

Like our $8.5M turned in to $1.6M within about 6 weeks last year

The way contracts are being honored these days.....just about every single player in the NRL bar 1 or 2 superstars/team(perhaps??)!!!

 

[Psycho Doggie]

Brandon Smith and Emre Guler. Also contracted players will pop up.

Would be happy if we got both of those. Contracted players getting a release isn't something to rely on too heavily, sure it happens, but mostly for players that aren't going to be a big improvement on what we already have.
