[D- voice]

Probably

 

[Bulldogsforlife23]

Its not, I might be able to confirm the signing tomorrow

Let’s hope ur not another juicydog that’s all I’m saying

 

[Bulldogsforlife23]

I would rather make sure tomorrow

And give us a hint who it is

Hel be playing left edge
Asiata ain’t taking his spot bud

He's a better middle, don't need him out on the edge.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

[finchie]

He's a better middle, don't need him out on the edge.

[NPC83]

When tommaorw are u gonna announce ur and where are u gonan announce ur what these

That’s so hard to understand bro

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Sorry to tell u he will be playing left edge

Yh because Penrith cookie cutter approach, like for like with Kikau, etc. Baz too obsessed with trying to finesse his way through the opposition rather than playing the power game that's required.

You blokes saying this is bad have no idea. Name an existing ball playing forward that we have? Asiata would be a perfect 13 in the modern mould...like Watson, Ridley, Yeo, J Trojeyovic. Ball player combining with hooker, halves to link to 2nd rowers and centres and FB. Exactly the type of player we need given we don't have that creativity at halfback and hooker and there just isn't the talent available on the market. Asiata would be an invaluable piece in our squad.

 

[Pity Fool]

I did not sit through years of shit to see fucking Asiata starting lock. Fuck me.

As always I am moved and physically shaken by your unwavering positivity, support and enthusiasm for our club... FFS do you ever throw any support behind anything our club does to try and improve the roster??? With fans like you who the fuck needs enemies! I cant recall a single post of yours where you actually write something positive or supportive, always just the same bitching and moaning FFS! I’d hate to be your missus poor woman...

Jackson ain't moving from lock. Asiata's also a Cowboys, now Broncos reject and he struggled to get into the team at both clubs (towards end at Cowboys). Over the last 2 years he's done absolutely nothing to get excited about. If it's minimum wage and he's in reserve grade or possibly on the bench it's not the worst, but I'd much rather someone else or even a young kid we have, e.g. Topine, even Patolo or Tuifua we've signed. I'd actually rate Asiata as a signing worse then Stimson at the time we signed him...

According to some whispers, we have signed a hooker.

Small signing or big?

 

[Tassie Devil]

Lick my left testicle

Address pls

 

[Chris Harding]

I like this signing. He comes cheap and can play halfback lol... Very skillful player.

Yep, he might be what we need in the halves.

 

[Chris Harding]

As long as he's fit, this would be a good signing, and add needed depth to the forward roster.

Him not being able to crack the Cowboys team was a failure of P.Green not seeing where the meta was going - He should have been ahead of the curb, moved Taumalolo up front and Asiata into the 13.

Gould has spoken ad nauseam about having "700-800 games" worth of experience in the game day 17, Asiata has played 140 to this point including a GF and internationals which helps balance out the inexperience of Topine, Patolo and Tuifua - compared to Stimson who has played 60.

On a minimum contract it's a good signing for someone who's most likely going to play CCup and be a handy back up

 

[King Gus]

Don’t know why some are upset about this but it’s a good signing.
Quick play the balls and some offloads is a good way to put us on the front foot.
