New Bulldogs coach Dean Pay wants club to focus on developing talent to rebuild its culture

[well done]

They bought tapine from knights brah for big bucks too

Yes (not as much as the media make up) but tapine was never that good at the knights

Add clay priest to the list ,

So going off on a little tangent here based on that. Nu Brown to 5/8 or does a Cleeland step up??

If Pay wants to move Moses to fullback then i think Cleeland will be the one that steps into the halves with Foran tbh. That will give us far more speed and footwork in key positions that we have previously lacked.

Tapine was one of the best young talents at the Knights lol.

I haven't watched too much on this Nu Brown kid but a few have mentioned some good things??

He had decent wraps on him when he was younger though he never kicked on and had a poor run with injuries. Flanno wanted to turn him into a utility and even cover lock though that never worked out as he got injured again. I think he would make a handy utility for us though and i think you need that cover with the amount of HIA's these days.

Holy shit. A coach that may put players into positions that suit their strengths ie Mbye in broken field play.

Where does that leave Hoppa?

HIA's have become stupid, they need to come up with a solution very fast. Assign a player to hit a key player in the head with 10 minutes left in the game and they won't return, game decided.

I honestly have movement after reading that. Mbye to FB I reckon! GO DOGGIES!!!!! Wish we could restart the season again lol

Lol... I think it moved Jerry!

I'd take Lee over Hoppa though, just needs tackling practice, who better than Hetherington.

Id say either foran/cleland and nu brown on bench or cleland to start in reserves and to force his way in and this is all assuming lichha stays

Pay also revealed how he wants to employ a style of footy “supporters are really proud of”.




Great because for the last 3 years, I’ve suffered brain damage watching our boring attack

 

[GrogDog]

How nice is it to be excited again lol

He will do well, he has learnt from the best in Canberra in relation to bringing through juniors

Look how good cotric, tapine etc have gone

This will be good for the salary cap, quickest way to bring it back under control is to breed your own

Tapine was bought from the Knights and straight into 1st grade....was never a Raiders junior.
But I'm so happy that Deano is going to concentrate bringing juniors through our system and I reckon some of those NSW U20's will come knowing this....good times ahead.

Yeah I had stopped watching them, just wasn't worth it. Thought I couldn't come back from it....was genuinely worried. Dean Pay signs as Coach and I may put a doggies jersey on and have a romantic night in.....

And worse defence... Cleeland truly struggles in D and next to Brenko? Oh my..

Dean Pay....

1. Hoppa
6. Mbye ( predominantly on the right hand side of the field )
7. Foran
9. Lichaa

Get it done coach.
