[1967]

Signing them younger and younger these days, according to Wiki, he’s only 6mths old haha.

Damn, Gus & CC really are playing the slow game …

 

[Total Fool]

It means nothing, but if anyone is curious about his debut in Rd 24:
- Was on field for 4 minutes
- Received the ball twice
- 1x run for 7m (2m post contact)
- 1x handling error
- Made 1 tackle (100% tackle efficiency)

Probably not worth digging up the replay lol

So he’ll fit in well within the bulldogs system with them stats!

I got a good feeling about the 2043 season, building to something for sure

Grunt with no torque

Agree not so much torque.

So happy we bought another edge forward man

Master plan to play him out of position though, soo...

Imagine how his mum feels!!!

The Wests Tigers are privately fuming over losing one of their brightest young stars to the Bulldogs.

Kitione Kautoga, who made his one and only NRL appearance for the Tigers against the Dragons in round 24 last year, is on his way to Belmore.

The Fijian forward, who scored three tries in NSW Cup in the opening round, was brought to the Tigers by former general manager Adam Hartigan. Hartigan is now at the Bulldogs working with Phil Gould.

The pair organised for Kautoga to meet with coach Cameron Ciraldo and his idol Viliame Kikau. It was enough to get him over the line.

The Tigers requested a $160,000 transfer fee from the Bulldogs to release him this year, but that doesn’t look like happening

He's a second rower or front row??

Good to see more depth for us.

 

[Grunthos]

The seeds are being planted guys...

Can play both

Absolutely. Ya love to see it.

It was great to see Kiraz and Alamoti have top performances on the weekend - both local juniors. Preston as well who was a cheap buy that we have and are developing into a great player. I love what I am seeing. No more of this top end buying players who don't perform - still have a couple that need to go ie. Thompson and TPJ OR re-sign on much less.

Seeds have definitely been planted!!

Excellent. Wikipedia reckons he's only 6 months old lol

 

[Benno Bulldog]

Now we see some of the extra value in signing guys like Kiks Mahoney and JAC… Belmore is the place u aught to be, so they packed up the truck and moved to…

 

[D0GMATIC]

Excellent. Wikipedia reckons he's only 6 months old lol

Investing in the future ! No wonder we didn'tpay 160k to get him over this year

 

[Scoooby]

Did very well, played a very attacking and defensive game, was good too see the extra effort he put it. Will get better each week as they form team bonds , and start enjoying their footy together . Was definitely a few more smiles on our players faces too.

The Bulldogs play Wests this weekend in cup and its streaming through Facebook.
So we'll be able to see how he goes against us.
