That’s because we lost Hughes, Sherwin, O’meley, Mason and SBW all in a matter of 9 months from November 2007 to August 2008. We had a ridiculous amount of cap money to spend on players. So we ended up buying in bulk.

Do you want to go tell Hoppa, Tolman, Jackson, Foran and Holland to give up their 2020 huge back ended deal just so we can go on a spending spree this year for the 2020 season?

Big difference between 2008 & 2019 situation.

Regardless the cap is almost 10 mill we can be smart about it if we had any brains
Plus the rest wouldn’t be on anything cause we have pretty much a reserve team

You poor bastards lol waiting for a hooker. Zac Hetherington is who they are grooming for FG. This is no quick fix. It’s a complete rebuild from bottom up

Can't we have both? How much would a up and coming hooker that's ready for FG cost? 250-400k max? Even if our cap situation is as bad as some say, that is easily affordable.

We can't play JMK for the next two seasons while we hope that our own youngsters pan out.

100%, spot on.

If the board is going to wait around for lower grade players that might or might not make it they're starting to lose me.

Makes it worse seeing as I believe 06, 09 and 12 should have been ours... sad face

 

[BlackDawg]

Have to wait if you got no salary cap. It's all about how talented our talent scouts are and whether pay overs for has beens or plods

We will not be the poor bastards. If that is genuinly what the dumb ***** are doing. They will be fucking gone in no time. Useless pricks. What the fuck are they building ? Put 13 decent players on the paddock, get a decent fucking coach. And go get that fucking premiership. Building is for builders, not football teams.

 

[Novocastrian]

Has reece robson definitely signed with cowboys? Nothing announced. He hasnt done much in this game but still be a good get

 

[Papa Joe]

It’s a rumour. We’re being linked to every player right now.

I was listening to Talkin Sport yesterday arvo & Hughsey was answering a Bulldog callers question regarding Stimpson to the Dogs. Hughes responded by saying something like - no its not a rumor, they got him. Yep, they've signed him. His brother is the recruitment officer. Didn't say. if it was for this year though.

Makes no friggin sense to me though with all the back rowers we have. Hopefully they move Jacko to the middle fulltime though as I have never seen him defend so bad on an edge as this year.

We do have abundant back rowers. However, most of them are no good or not performing.
Stimson is a goer and will be a good addition to the side.

 

[Mitch Connor]

Looked like a big unit on the weekend.

Sweet another bog average plodder to add to the list of bog average plodders.

NSW Cup awaits!

Yep. He did well in his limited minutes though. He's probably best suited to playing in the middle next year whether at prop or lock.

 

[Spoonman84]

Stimson isn’t that bad of a signing as long as all the other needs are also met. If he’s the best signing we make then we are in deep trouble.

We need backs and a hooker and maybe another prop

 

[Scoooby]

Still a meh signing at this stage, so think we need to focus more on key positions, those should be first priority nailed down..!!

hope tom starling plays well off the bench in Hodgsons absence... could be an easy recruitment target for us.

 

[Real1]

Stinson is better then Elliot, Martin mariner and Chris Smith... Mariner and martin will be leaving the club so Stimson will come in on the edge with CHN on the other and Jackson at lock.

If stimson can play in the middle, may be we dont need another prop

There's no such thing as an easy recruitment target for this club! Haha. There are at least ten good young hookers that would be gettable and who can't get a run in the starting team with established players in front of them and still we don't have one signed.

Any of Grant, Smith, Brailey, Robson, Starling, Brittain, Roache and maybe Liddle would be better than what we have.
