Sio Siua Taukeiaho Signed

[Bulldogsteve]

I've heard a heap of hype around him but actually have not seen him play.
Do you think he may make first grade next year or he still needs time ?

Only young needs time

Lots of troll posting, nobody knows anything...

Still comes off our top 30 cap so another bad contract investment

very bad recruitment from Gus again...Davey-like

So now that we are stuck with HFM, I bet we miss out on SST.

Why is this thread still active when we haven't officially signed him?

RFM isn't the obstacle to SST joining us, it's the transfer fee the Catalans are demanding.
While importantly if RFM stays he will cost us the signing of another middle forward.
I believe time will reveal that it could be a blessing in disguise.

What are the odds that we will bring taukeiaho in if we can get rid of RFM?

We need to free up a top 30 spot, no need to pay a transfer fee if we don't have a spot available

I wouldn't read too much into it. If we want to move RFM on we need to keep him fit. If he just sits around doing nothing and blows out will be even harder to move him on. I really can't see RFM staying unfortunately the trust would just have to be broken. Also how much has this media circus cost the club in terms of reputation, sponsors. memberships and recruitment. Fresh start would be best for both parties. My money is on the roosters or PARA with us chipping in a fair chunk.

Don't trust the media's speculations, it's all under control.

It's not media speculation though, we have 30 players in our top 30

Parra have a bunch of good back rowers, as do the roosters,can't see it happening.

All announcements for signings have not been made official.
No-one knows whats happening with RFM. He was always contracted for the next 2 years, open to look elsewhere for what 6 months and there has been no reported interest from any other Club.
No-one knows the details of negotiations in regards to the transfer of SST. 'Apparently' he is signed.
When it comes to recruitment, I dont believe anything until it is officially announced by the Club.

It's Top 38 (max) for next season.


Always a Bulldog

I agree on keeping him fit but also want him faraway from the team, the trust is broken...
Reputation is only a problem of we take notice of News's Daily Tellacrap,
Despite performing badly on field our off field team led by Warburton have gotten us amongst the best sponsored if not better than the elite performing clubs, players sponsors are on waiting list,
Considering our on field results the memberships numbers are the 6th in the comp for 2023, it could only get better,
As for recruitment, I believe we have done very well considering the availabilities on the market, We definitely still need 2 middles and maybe a halfback, patience is a virtue !!!

Who knows...Roosters have top 30 spots available. In terms of Eels they have Lane and Maddo. However both are injury prone and Maddo may be needed in the middle. The next rung down they have Cartwright and Doorey (if still there). Cartwright had a pretty good season, however is getting on and has always been a bit up and down, Doorey still doesn't quite look NRL ready. So there is a path to first grade there and they may be desperate enough to plug a whole (they did take Davey). If Parra don't make the 8 this year things will start getting interesting for BA.
