We should be happy about this. Bullet dodged guys. We were going to spend way too much on someone that's not all that good.

JMK baby. That is all. Hooker is sorted. If you don't agree you clearly haven't been watching bulldogs this season.

We need a gun centre/winger pairing. And we are good. Otherwise all other positions are covered by upcomers or seniors.

Wow so exited jmk

This is going to take a bloody long time to get out of this rebuild with no quality signings


Maybe we can use the money we were offering api to give Ramienwhat he wanted

JMK lol. The level of mediocrity accepted by our fans is fucking astounding.
Go ahead then, who should we sign? Don't be quoting the generic list of upcoming hyped hookers.

If you're so knowledgeable. Give us an actual proper answer. And back up your claims. Because JMK sure has backed his selection.

meh.. screw him and Panthers.... he's not that great, we're just desperate after so many years of Lichaa... :laughing: We got DWZ and CHN so it's only fair that they get SOMETHING given that Maloney will be gone next year and the son needs to be carried

JMK is a solid squad option, nothing more. Lacks vision, ball playing ability and just general knowledge regarding the position. You're making it sound like he's this top hooking prospect.

Bloke was awful last night and a key reason to why we couldn't score more than single try, his pass selection was terrible while there were plenty of opportunities to run that he completely passed up on. Yh he kicked a cracker of a 40/20 and got through loads of work but so many of the basics were just stuffed up by him.

Idk who we sign now, we have a couple a good up and coming hookers through the grades but they won't be ready for a while. Maybe we try and sign Rein or Kenny and run with dual hookers for another season. I'd rather stick with JMK than sign someone like Levi but that's hardly because I think JMK is a great prospect.

So Rein or Kenny is who he recons.

Yes he is not a specialist hooker. But the bloke is learning and improving. Give him another specialist preseason training and he might surprise us.

He might not be a great prospect, but as you said I'd also rather stick with him rather than sign failed specialist hookers (Levi, Api, etc) on lots of money.

We need another hooking option, we can't just rely on JMK next season so who else is there to sign? JMK was is now unfortunately our first string hooker when he should've been our second.

Api is miles ahead of JMK, it's not even close.

Foran miles ahead of Lewis and cogger but who stays on the field longer?
Difference is that Api wouldn't be on millions and we'd still have JMK. Foran is on probably double the coin and has flat out prevented us from signing a direct replacement. The risk factor with Api is far lower than with Foran.

Most people left on here are the delusional fans who think all we need is a better roster, yet we have cogger sitting on the bench 3 or so games straight with 0 seconds played, and lewis is out there making a dogs breakfast of our attack.

500k is still a risk but I get what you’re saying.

They wouldn’t have trotted him out in a bulldogs Jersey at a press conference if the cooling off period hadn’t lapsed so it must’ve literally been an 11th hour backflip
Maybe Api was Blowarsing the club..

I wouldn’t mind a gun second rower after a centre. Jacko to lock please.
