Official John Asiata joins the Bulldogs

[chisdog]

So now we have our halfback!

2022 we have another year of plenty off contract:

Asiata, Doorey, Dufty, RFM, Hetherington, Katoa, Makatoa, Schoupp, Stimson, Topine, Vaughan & Wakeham.

I know Gould is looking to re-sign Schoupp soon.

 

[KiwiDog7]

How did he play for BOTH Tonga and Samoa? Like, isn't that illegal?

Lmao!!

True that

It’s common now (Samoan and Tongans marriages) but in yesteryear it was war !

 

[Haddaway]

I have zero problems with these minimum contract one year deals.

 

[JORDZILLA]

good utility and probably cheap. Has had injuries but can hopefully stay healthy

 

[NPC83]

Ahhhh...

It is what it is, hopefully he provides some value.

Good commentary bro.. I was expecting to see you blowing up in a long post but that was quite pleasant to read

 

[berries1935]

great signing. Will give some point of difference off the bench!!!! I really hope Flanagan can have a massive offseason and improve !!!! Top 8 here we come

 

[Fully Sik Drop kick]

Nek minute...... re-injures neck

 

[berries1935]

Also going to very weird to see round 1 next year and a team majority of actually first graders

 

[NPC83]

Given the huge imbalance in our roster it can take a few years to turnover players and get it right. Asiata is a cost effective POD most likely coming off the bench. He’s not a game breaker but It’s not a bad complimentary signing and seems we would have left a few bucks in the kitty for a potential mid season signing if we need too.

this isnt a bad thing. We can now see who performs and who gets another contract.

Who’s Makatoa ? Not top 30

 

[Bulldog1966]

Remember him playing well against one or two of the top teams off the bench maybe the Roosters and another i don't recall, generally didn't seem to get many minutes from a quick search most of the time then got injured.
I'm openminded that he will fulfil a role here and although it doesn't help us win games it sounds like he is a quality bloke and we can do with men like that in our squad.

Better ball play then any of our halves in 2021 right there.

Unironically better than Flannagan ever will be

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

I use to get a stiffy from his ball playing. Hopefully he can fuckin bring it back

 

[Spoonman84]

Better than anything we have had for 5 years!

 

[hayes]

What were those offers? And what makes you think you know?

They 850 and 700 and panthers have been chipping in 200 k 200k for each

 

[The DoggFather]

Why are people upset about this signing?

It's only for 1 year and already is a better half than the shit we have now.
