He is rapidly taking over from Darius Boyd as my pick for the most overrated player in the NRL.

Go Dogs
Theres still ben hunt and quite a few others imo.
The thing with players like mitchell and ponga they are only young and should get better.
Pay seems to love dallin and it looks like there focusing on young halves and developing them.
I cant see our spine being changed. If it doesnt pay off where screwd.
But ill wait and see before i go on too much.

And dwindling membership numbers, no major sponsor.
God forbid the nrl look at relocating teams we would be prime candidates right now.
So we couldn’t sign latrell Mitchell and still haven’t signed ado Carr. I have no hope that we will sign any franchise player. The club just seems to be passing on every decent player.

Same shit happening at junior level, we continually missing out on the best talent to other clubs...
Strong pub side we are building here at the bulldogs.

Might as well just fold the club then! Relocation is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard while the Leagues Club keeps printing money we would be one of the last clubs the NRL could force to move.

Haven’t you heard? We’re becoming the NRL version of the Western Bulldogs when we move to Perth...

Ha - as if. Exactly as you said, we’re amongst the richest in the competition - money that the Beagles, Sharktides, Tigpies etc could only dream of.

We could be the richest it would be between us, Panthers and probably the Chooks depending on how deep Nick would dip into his pockets.

Yes re: clubs. For us it’s the pokie revenue that’s significant. For Penrif it’s the Panthers complex. For the Ponies and Storm it’s News Ltd ownership in a one team town and of course Uncle Nick for the Chooks and Rusty for the pesky Wabbits.

I don't think he's the type of player we need at the moment. We need multiple decent players rather than one. He will take up a massive chunk of money.

He's the type of player who would be looking for his next deal all the time, needs to concentrate more on field and those things will work themselves out.

Not doing too well from what I have heard...after renos.

And besides why play games in Perth when we carnt even grow our memberships in our own backyard.

Someone tell me what is the point of going to Perth this year.?

How did Adelaide pan out and Wellington in years gone by?

You might want to read the finance figures rather then relying on what you hear. Didn’t you hear about a rival ticket challenging at the election too?

They are taking a low drawing game inter state to make money quite a few clubs do it.

Good luck getting the 500 signatures to force a EGM then winning a election after that. It won’t happen.
