IMO, we keep Kikau
IMO, keep Kikau !
AFB wants to come back to Sydney, we just have to make sure we sign him for 2025 and beyond,
Let 2024 take care of it self, someone will emerge as his replacement at the Warriors.
Don't shoot the messenger !
I have been told by not my usual source of info that the Warriors are asking for Kikau as a swap for AFB as early as 2024,
If true, opinions ?
I thought I was the only one that missed the answer...Tell us the answer SON...Tell us the answer :anguished:
Another reporter sourcing info from TK...The Clowns should be delighted :laughing:
Jokes aside, he does have some reasonable points BUT
It makes me wonder, in his final paragraph was he...
The reason JK has what you call a stranglehold on the club because he is like Bullfrog the club is his heart and soul, unlike some who think the club is their gold mine.
The Daily Tellacrap/Smellagraph intentions are to derail anything we do to bring back the club to it's former glory, they were...
Firstly I like to say News Crap and their puppets at the club had to back off knowing they had backley's winning the election.
Now, watch all the clowns change their identities...Priceless:laughing: :laughing::laughing:
It's simple, to sign an elite player we pay elite dollars !
I am aware what we have more of, rest assured in good time we will have the proper balanced roster.
Don't ever under estimate the damage Des-Troyer did.
I was hoping we do but it's highly unlikely now, given the number of halves we have now also the very talented junior halves coming through it makes totally illogical now.
Teams always did it including Canterbury, signing teenagers from all over Australia and NZ drafting them into their own junior leagues calling them their own, it's when teams like Manly and the Rorters poached other team's established players caused so much resentment...
A team like Melbourne...
But, they aren't desperate for AFB as we are, therefore I expect us to go to the extreme to sign him.
In reality this could mean the difference between success and failure for us !
I know times have changed but some things never do, " If he will only come for wrong reasons ( unreasonable and ridicules money ) we are better off without him " . no individual in greater than the club !!!
Is It ime to get extravagant ???
As it stands our roster is well covered in every position some better than others except for props,
Through no lack of effort we have missed out on Haas Tino and Fotuaika amongst other forwards but where opportunities close others open,
AFB is one of the best...
You are forgetting about the worst rule in the National Rorts League and that's forcing clubs to spend 95% of the cap for the lower teams on trash rosters, made harder by teams who find loopholes to cheat the cap also a lot harder the obvious lack of talent !!!
Incidentally it's going up to...
Get it right Stringer, Hunt will be 9, Flopagun will be 7.
Also we have prop of the decade to swap with, the Warriors have never been the same since he left them :laughing:
Strange as it might seems now, I believe in order to continue our long term progress in the same fashion we should be looking for a young understudy for Gould, someone that would learn from him the tricks of the trade to insure progression...The Gould's way !
Not witch hunting, 8 years at the club I ask what major achievements has he achieved ?
Unfortunate major injuries didn't help, and that why I say he should have had more gratitude !
I hope we keep him at the club, he is a classy player yet to reach his potential as a five-eight or centre, weeks ago I was being sarcastic when I predicted
A swap is on, Burton > Penrith, Luai > Bulldogs...Stranger things have happened !
3 Riddles
Why weren't the medicals done until now or were they ?
Did Mahoney really slip up ?
Are SST's children really enrolled in a Sydney school ?
Let me know if you have the answers :laughing:
Now, this could be the scenario
Let's hope it means RFM is out, then with his and SST money and the Cows paying a portion of his contract we get JT, that isn't a bad result if it wasn't for JT's age and his 4 years contract.
But then again there is the other better possibility, RFM > Anywhere ...
During the game against the Rorters in 2015 and down by a big score before halftime my blood started boiling, out of frustration I texted a very prominent managing director asking " what happened to the Bulldogs they are not The Entertainers they are not the Dog of war they aren't even playing...
Hezbollah :laughing: was at least big part of the problem...
He sent Ennis packing and ignored Cook's existences dumping the18 year old Lichaa in the deep end without relief off the bench forcing him to excessively tackle causing him major injuries, as for Perrett unfortunately he became lazy.
It can't be denied, Perrett and Lichaa were very talented at the early stages of their careers acknowledged by massive interests from all the nrl clubs, what happened later wasn't expected and sad thanks to Des-stroyer :upset:
Every little victory COUNTS...
In Gus and the managing directors we trust !!!
It would be interesting to hear what the DOUBTERS the TROLLS and Brent can't-Read and his mate Buzzing Drunkfield are going to say now :tearsofjoy: :tearsofjoy: :tearsofjoy:
Problem, how do we get rid of the obstacle that is Raymond Faitala-Mariner ?
Will we sign Taumololo or AFB, I prefer the later.
Gus has a great challenge on his hands, he certainly can't miss out on every quality prop he has attempted signing !!!
Burn Read Burn :tearsofjoy:
Disappointed the photographer wasn't yours to photograph the snitch.
You speak of respect and you don't know what true respect is,
Faitala-Mariner has been at the Bulldogs since 2016, plagued by massive injuries forced to spend more time recovering than playing...
No, it means that's what the rules are !!!
Players who are signed on potentials surely must know they have to perform to survive, they also would have chosen their best option.
I agree on keeping him fit but also want him faraway from the team, the trust is broken...
Reputation is only a problem of we take notice of News's Daily Tellacrap,
Despite performing badly on field our off field team led by Warburton have gotten us amongst the best sponsored if not better than...
RFM isn't the obstacle to SST joining us, it's the transfer fee the Catalans are demanding.
While importantly if RFM stays he will cost us the signing of another middle forward.
I believe time will reveal that it could be a blessing in disguise.
He would be a good acquisition but wont happen if they want to keep him...
As far as I know, there is a mutual agreement to not poach each others players between us and the Rorters.
Let's hope he is an old tuff Bull that can't be devoured by the Drunken Buzz
I reckon this time it's going to be heavy, he will need help turning the Lazy Susans around :laughing:
I bet there are plenty crazy ones on TK who are prepared to take a hit in order to rid the TEAM of RFM and his like :laughing:
You know what, if they throw the first punch they could getaway with it, RFM's crab like running style will work to their advantage :tearsofjoy:
I've mentioned this before, ever since Gus has taken over the majority of the leaks has stopped and I am in the same boat as everyone else, I am sure you agree it is for the better.
I sometimes get the urge to leak info as a puzzle purely to indicate that something is happening without...
I've always wanted to comment on the HEADING of the thread
" We need to get to the bottom of it "
Seriously, I thought your client is already there, destroying the club's trust in him after they unnecessarily extended his contract then appointed him as a club captain
The only reason SST might not end up coming is the Catalans think they can scam a release fee from us, Gus is sticking to his guns !
The only reason a professional photographer was there is because someone had told Drunkenfield about when the meeting was taking place and he sent him, I call this...
It's the price we pay for being Bulldogs, enemies of News Crap un-Ltd and supporters of Reclaim the Game,
Did we really expect fairness from National Rorts League ?
If you thought this is the end of our problems think again,
Watch and see what the crooked refs are going to do to us :coldsweat...
10 out of 10
Great post mate, you've absolutely nailed it,
While some of the Kennelers have their agendas and hate others are taking shots in the dark...
In the mean time Reed and fellow dribblers at The Daily Tellacrap continues their destabilising efforts trying to discredit two of the three...
You are boringly talking sense Alen...
Be careful you might get banned for that :fearful:
Anyhow, I'll spice it up and say it is $350K a season for 2 seasons :tearsofjoy:
Let's see how the Looney Tunes react :laughing:
I was very happy for him when he was appointed club captain even though I was surprised we extend his contract, I thought why not this would bring harmony amongst the squad,
His cardinal sin was to divulge to Drunkenfield out of all people.
He's created his own path...
You are correct, the truth needs to be known before passing on judgment, but don't you think the club wouldn't have been extremely cautious before making such an important decision,
RFM was placed in a very trustworthy position by appointing him the club's captain at the start of the season, we...
