61-0I think Cogger's debut was that game the Knights got pumped 62-0 by the Sharks. Hopefully Cogger has a better Bulldogs debut than the one he had with the Knights.

Would be curious to know what sort of coin was spent on him. Have a look at how Hasler's approach of not dropping players turned out for us. This is suppose to be professional sport where you earn your spot and then play harder to keep it. Maybe Pay is intentionally doing this stuff to show and prove to these guys that if they want to be a part of this than you MUST earn it. I'm all for competition as it truly brings the best out of those who have what it takes, those that falter can get fuked for all I care. Players need to give the coach no choice but to pick them!!!This signing raises more questions than it answers. It shakes and unsettles things more than it improves. Let's say Cogger is given an early release and partners Foran in 2018 what happens to Frawley? The bloke has been training with the team in the halves and has just started to work on combinations with Foran. What would he be thinking? What happens to Cleeland? His name has been mentioned a few times this off-season. There is no doubt that the bloke is looking forward to 2018 and getting an opportunity. Cogger's signing is extremely demoralising to him you would think. What about Nu Brown? This signing suggests that he will only ever be a utility.
Maybe you are right and Cogger is only a depth signing? But then what happens to Lewis and Benji's bro King (because Cogger and Cleeland would be the halves for the isp side).
This is a conundrum. Someone needs to help me and the club solve this.
I wouldnt be too worried about any of these signings. They were haslers signings, and Pay has every right to build a team that he wants.This signing raises more questions than it answers.

Yeah, you are right.
I wonder what happens with Mbye if he doesn't succeed at fullback?
Clearly Pay doesn't rate him as a halfback either
Yeah, but that's only when you are there! LOL.My mates all say good thing about me too lol
His dad was a very good player as well. Trevor Cogger.

Even if he is by far the worst half in the comp their is no need to rubbish him like that.Please not Frawley, Please not Frawley, Please not Frawley, Please not Frawley, Please not Frawley, Please not Frawley, Please not Frawley, Please not Frawley, Please not Frawley, Please not Frawley, Please not Frawley, Please not Frawley, Please not Frawley, Please not Frawley, Please not Frawley, Please not Frawley, Please not Frawley, Please not Frawley,
brown wont be shown the door, hes being treated as a major signing along with woods and foranExpecting Brown, Lewis and Cleeland to all be out the door.
Brown especially. The other 2 are reserves graders, nothing more.
Me thinks you will be disapointedPlease not Frawley, Please not Frawley, Please not Frawley, Please not Frawley, Please not Frawley, Please not Frawley, Please not Frawley, Please not Frawley, Please not Frawley, Please not Frawley, Please not Frawley, Please not Frawley, Please not Frawley, Please not Frawley, Please not Frawley, Please not Frawley, Please not Frawley, Please not Frawley,
Well said we rubbish too many of our players and the season hasn't even started yetEven if he is by far the worst half in the comp their is no need to rubbish him like that.
He simply isn't good enough, ask anyone that watched our ISP side play. I have said it so many times, but our ISP side was a better team without him in it.Even if he is by far the worst half in the comp their is no need to rubbish him like that.
How does this signing raise questions? If anything Cogger’s signing possibly gives us the answer to our halfback dilema ( I say POSSIBLY loosely) Not one of our current halves have exactly stood up and grabbed the position by the neck and made it their own have they? Nor have they made the club and coach say this is the guy that’s going to be our halfback for the next decade! Frawley, Cleeland, Brown and co have no right to whinge about the Bulldogs signing a great young half with potential, they are all early to mid twentys and have had many a chance at many clubs to prove they are deserved of the starting halfback postion yet they have not done so. To be honest I don’t have a good feeling about any of our current halves, none of them inspire me, merely make me believe they are only gap fillers til we find our next long term solution.This signing raises more questions than it answers.

Im not saying hes great but he did some decent things in FG...He simply isn't good enough, ask anyone that watched our ISP side play. I have said it so many times, but our ISP side was a better team without him in it.
Lets hope his dad teaches him a few things.. looks like hes got the right DNAGRRR, I remember round 12 1982 as we were leading Wests until just after half time. Trevor was on the hill eating a meat pie & got the call up for the bench. He came on & scored 2 tries to win the game for them.
anybody who watched this kid play a handful of first grade games will see this kid is rubbish what a waste of a signing people will say hes only 20 but the kid has nothing even brown said he wasn't up to itThink this is the first real recruitment from the new structures. Pay knows him and what he can bring. Guess we need to accept that Deano knows what he is after and he got his man...
Sack Dean Pay! He clearly knows nothing & must’ve had his eyes closed when coaching juniors in origin!anybody who watched this kid play a handful of first grade games will see this kid is rubbish what a waste of a signing people will say hes only 20 but the kid has nothing even brown said he wasn't up to it
