Also it is quite alarming that you are insinuating the way of this forum is to verbally abuse other members and if we don’t like it, to leave.
You are now implicated.
You have also a track record for abusing me to the point where it is effecting my mental health.
I will seek further clarification around next steps with admins of this forum and whether I will take this further.
As for now, I would appreciate it if you refrained from mentioning me in any...
I don't agree with the abuse. You have built a reputation for doing this on this forum, not just to me but other members of the forum.
I will be emailing the admin directly.
If Tigers get AFB surely Stefano would want out then?
Either way I see Dogs more desperate than Dragons and Tigers. Both have good packs tbh. Ours is shit
sorry @TwinTurbo if that was too negative for you
Gus was brought in to Dogs to fix the junior pathways and help set standards in the club. He's perfect for that. Everything else will take time. Gus will be phased out of Dogs eventually, but the NRL will never pass him by.
This is the harsh truth, I think all Dogs fans should accept this before next season. I honestly don't think Gus believes the team he has on paper for first grade will do anything this year or even next. I think this is something he put together in the hope they can at least be competitive.
Gus...
Anyway, @TheSexDogs is right. The hold up was Dogs. I think the fact 2 high profile front rowers are now there for the taking helped Gus make this decision also. While Sia failed his medical, it’s not like it’s career ending. He probably would have been available early next year.
Let’s see what...
Me either. I think Dragons are going to have a big crack at AFB but it really depends on if they land Deardon. If they do, it’ll go in Gus’ favour but I don’t think Gus will pay big money. If it becomes a bidding war then he will go Dragons or stay at Warriors.
Gus is extremely protective of...
No I don't think they are letting him go to sign AFB, I think May and his manager are seeking other opportunities where he will play first grade because of the potential of AFB signing.
Agreed. Did they sign Leniu first or extend JWH?
Collins
Leniu
JWH
May
(let's assume they sign AFB)
Log jam of forwards.
Anyway, if this means the opportunity to sign May presents itself then I am all for it.
The difference between this and the others is that this meeting with RFM and his manager there was a photographer from a newspaper with a camera ready to go lol the others have been by chance and taken off their iphones ie. chinese with Mahoney and Kikau
I heard RFM's manager informed DT of the meeting and a photographer so happened to be there.
RFM's manager also gave the specifics of the meeting to Hoops and Buzz - they are claiming that RFM wants to get back on board and return to training.
He's my fav from that Flegg team. I reckon he is bound to get a chance in grade hopefully later in the season but huge potential this bloke. Massive motor. Lump of a lad.
Morrin definitely has a future in grade at the dogs imo. People just need to remember he only made his debut in 2022, prior to that played next to no footy for 2 years and last season was in and out of grade but he’s still developing. He’s an extremely hard trainer. He will force his way into...
Seems like RFM and his manager have informed this ‘photographer’ that this meeting was taking place.
As I said a post elsewhere, start of next season there will be some dirty shit written by Buzz and co. Everyone better buckle up lol
This is awesome. One of the key reasons a lot of families pull their kids out of footy is the costs involved especially in the Canterbury-Bankstown area. This will help a lot of families and hopefully we see an increase in junior footy participation rates.
Luai yes
No idea where JT rumour came from. Honestly doubt it to be true, can’t see him leaving north qld. But would be great but as you said only if it’s at a discount. He’s not worth more than 600k a year these days.
It’s probably 80% true, but either way RFM really fucked CC and Gus around. This is including everything he said to Buzz after it all happened.
It’ll drag on for sure but Buzz is looking forward to when the mental health patient is back on track then he will unload
Also there will be a huge story on dogs next year once the mental health patient is back playing footy and his issues are resolved. Buzz is going to absolutely give it to the dogs.
Get ready lol
Wow didn’t think the club would do that lol but there ya go
He’s been toxic to the team and he’s the one leaking the stuff to the media
I’m just not sure what next here. He signed a 3 year extension last year. Who is going to take him? Gus has tried so no avail to find him a new club thus far...
Agreed. Can't see any big signings happening unless it is via a trade or negotiate with currently contracted player where some of his salary is paid. Moses could have easily been a Bulldog if Gus was willing to pay upwards of 1.3mil. On face value it would have been a huge signing but I think...
it was Tangles old role before Gus moved him to NSW Cup coach but he never replaced him.
I dont think Gus saw a point having a transition coach at the time when Baz was going to 'leave'. But now with the right coaching structure in place and Gus identifying this group of jersey flegg and harold...
He is an assistant on paper, yes. Reports straight to CC, however he won't be doing much game day stuff. He's a transition coach which is just the pathways of juniors/reggies into first grade to make sure they are ready for first grade.
Top 3 have now been announced
Extremely happy for Luke to be taking care of pathways. Perfect man for it and given he’s coached the flegg team to the title he will be responsible for transitioning this group into first grade over the coming years
This is how Gus operates. Makes a bunch of 1-2 year bottom/mid-tier signings year to year to keep the team as competitive as possible. Every now and again, he will uncover a diamond in the tough (Preston last year for example). He's way more focus on junior development and pathways into first...
Was only bought in to cover for lack of depth in backs in 2023. He got his debut, good on him. But he is well off the pace. He struggled to play week to week even in NSW Cup.
While I don’t think this AFB fiasco is over, there may be a couple more warriors players that ask for a release and return back to Aus…. My guess is Montoya, DWZ, Metcalf or Barnett.
