Official Matt Dufty signs with the Bulldogs for season 2022

[Bulldogsteve]

Crystal ball time: Dufty will be a success here and our longterm fullback after his first year with us..

We all hope that

 

[Nasheed]

No problem, as i said you do realise i know him and his family nuffy

You don’t know him.
You have an association with his brother

Despite what Vaughan has done sign him on a 1 + 1 year contract in Clubs favour. Just outbid Tigers for TPJ and offer Elliott to Melbourne and whatever we can to get Smith. That will hold us in good stead for next year. Somehow offload Allan Stimpson and Flanagan . Add Bailey Biondi Odo to top 30 in place of Flanagan.

Imagine 2023 backline

1. Papenhuzyen
2. Cotric
3. Schoupp/Allan/Alamoti
4. Naden
5. Addo Carr

seriously how the fuck do you mention Allen in that conversation

 

[Bulldogsforlife23]

If it is one year deal I think it works well for us. In 2022 Ryan Papenhuzyen is off contract so we should go out hard for him.

2022 Dufty 2023 is all of the doggies supporters dreams papehuyzen

 

[Bulldogsforlife23]

Signing Dufty doesn't alter the fact we still need a hooker and 2 middle forwards, it shouldn't happen if it does !!!

It’s better then Meaney and floppa for f sake

Also any updates on papehuyzen and insider on Phil Gould as well

 

[Kempsey Dog]

Sucks that Cotric is out for the season... Could have traded Dufty for Hoppa early and went for
1. Dufty
2. Meaney
3. Cotric
4. Schoupp
5. Okunbur
For the rest of the season

Papenhuzyen and a few others seem to be waiting on Bellamy's decision.
Hopefully he hasn't re-signed by November so we can speak to him.

 

[Kempsey Dog]

signing Dufty means Baz has already given up on Corey Allen. Can’t afford to have allen at centre or wing he’s simply too slow. What a waste of 400k a year

Would say to Broncos we will pay full freight for TPJ if you take Allan off us full freight

Love it.

 

[Dogtime]

I don't want or rate Dufty so that's how I feel/judge him atm and the start of next year. I hope he proves me wrong (if we sign him) and luckily it's only 1 year (which says a lot about the player we're getting...) I doubt he has any other options so I also hope he's on close to minimum wage.

Luckily your not in charge then...because many here DO rate and want Dufty. Those that do seem to be aligned with those at the Club that are the decision makers. Don't know who your aligned to. If you can't relate to the type of players we are trying to secure maybe better you find yourself another Club to support.

Wow, I'm very excited, it really suits him he looks great

 

[GrogDog]

Really hoping it turns into a swap with Hoppa this season. Watching Hoppa ignore his winger every single time and doing fuk all was fukin painful.

 

[Kempsey Dog]

Best thing about this signing is it's a 1 year deal... Not many parties came to the table and Super league was nearly his only option. That means he knows he will have to work hard as fuck or just delay the inevitable.
Given our position on the ladder and current attack, I don't see how this can make us any worse...

I really think the club needs to bring in a specialist fullback into the club to help Dufty out, especially if their is any thought of potentially making him a longer term option... We wasted so many years with Hoppa and DWZ which has led to Meaney not being properly developed... Club needs to do better

 

[B-Train]

More genius analysis from Blocker: "Does that show you that the Bulldogs aren’t really that sure if they only sign him for one year?”

He should open up his own Private Eye business with observational skills like that..

In an interview he said he did some work with Slater this year which has helped his game especially his positional play.
We should get Slater on the books to keep helping him out and Cronk for the halves.
