Yeah I think it was this guy

Bring back Dan Ferris

Not sure about that mate. Train and trial deal for 2026 doesn’t have any impact on a big name forward we would want to sign. They couldn’t arrive til 2027 anyway. Shibusaki signed a train and trial deal last off season. That worked out ok. This kid might thrive in a new environment. Keep in...

I think with Thompson coming and hopefully Jack Todd staying fit that Curran isn’t in our top 17.

Of course he wouldnt accept it. Not even the roosters could have a player leave a $1million contract at the storm to sign with them for $700k.

I think it starts October 2026 mate. The storm would have had provisions in his release . They are pretty ruthless like that. Just can’t see him at another nrl club next year. Probs Japanese rugby then R360

Not gunna happen mate. He is on $1 million a year at one of the best clubs in Australia. The only possible reason for him to walk away would be to go for double that amount at R360. Also much easier on his body that is nearly cooked.

Mate he is cooked as an elite NRL fullback. You could see his body language in the grand final. Have a look at the Shibusaki try. Paps was right there and didn't even attempt to tackle him. Clearly trying to avoid injury and cash in on the big R360 dollars. Cant say I blame him. He would be...

Buzz the old desperate flog bought up the dogs letting go Alamotti on NRL360 after the panthers sodomised us in the semi. He failed to mention that : a) We replaced him with Crichton AND Xerri ; and b) He has played a fait bit of reserve grade at Penrith and only got a start because Taylan May...

I dont think so mate. He hasn't shown anything to suggest he will be an elite first grade fullback. With the junior system Gus has set up I thought the purpose was that we wouldn't have to go to market to buy "great' spine players ?? Of course we will have to go buy players occasionally but it...

I never really felt we could win a comp after that first half against the broncos in Round 8. Premiership sides dont leak 34 points in the first half of a game. To me the demotion of Mahoney was more significant in us not playing our best footy at the end of the year rather than the Galvin...

Mate did you watch Paps in the GF ? He was horrendous. Got stampeded by Walsh and let Shibusaki score without even attempting to tackle him. Saving his body for the rugby cash. Faalogo will be their fullback next year

The media is saying Young and Crichton to start and Cotter on the bench for Game 1. That means no Presto. Wouldnt surprise me because Kevvie is clueless. Crichton was average this year. Had one good "contract' year last year. Also him and Young both play left side. And to put Cotter in front...

I think he said to start the preseason mate. To me that means from Nov 1. No guarantee that they will start Rd 1. It will come down to who performs well at training during the off season

I had a listen. Never gives much away. Not sure about some comments on here about Burto. 1. He ain’t getting picked for Australia this year. Squad has been leaked in heaps of articles and he ain’t in it ; and 2. The talk about him being a better centre than five eighth is dribble. He has...

Bored at work on a Thursday arvo so thought I would do a comparison between our 2024 and 2025 years. The general consensus amongst the media is this year was an improvement on last year but as well all know they are generally clueless. Hopefully this generates some interest for some of you. If...

Cant see that happening. Those guys are fools. Wouldnt surprise me if Perth made a big offer for 2027. Mal likes him as a player. They could use that footage of the massive bomb he put up in the Perth origin game as a marketing tool

Definitely an argument both ways mate. We were going great early but I never seen us an elite team. The draw favoured us. The broncos sodomisation in round 8 proved that. But when it comes down to it our roster is nowhere near elite. Especially halfback. Put Nathan on our side and we...

It's tough to bag the boys out after such a great year but that was pretty disappointing yesterday. To get 56,000 fans there watching you and over 10,000 greeting you at the hotel deserved a better effort. Apart from Sitili the middles were non existent. We relied on outside backs taking...

Bro. Please Exhibit A - Xerri You seriously think they would put him on the wing in a semi final ?? That journo comment was delusional. Dont buy into that crap. He has probably played a few games at wing 5 years ago and 10kg lighter ago. Good luck putting him on the wing when the opposition...

Yep its rubbish. Lucky that the Raiders got beat or otherwise there would have been 2 prelims at grounds that only hold 25k.

Anyone comparing either Burton or Woods to Ethan Strange should check out his hairline. He has obviously developed early and has already filled out. Woods and Galvin still have so much maturing to do in relation to their physique. Not bagging Strange out at all. Absolute gun. But he is...

It staggers me how people have : a) time to troll an opposition NRL supporter page ; & b) can’t find something better to do with aforementioned time that they don’t deserve. The world is so much worse with germs like you out there.

There are a few tipping us from the shows this morning : - Matt Johns - Andrew Voss - Laurie Daley

They are mate. Just not this week. But still only Paps, Hughes and Nelson

Fun Fact (via SEN) Bulldogs players to win a comp : - Critta - Kikau - Burton - Weak Gutted Dog Storm players to win a comp : - Munster

Yep and he got their Members player of the year

Stupid journos say we are creating a narrative about Reed not being a good communicator. Was the same when Sexton got dropped and apparently there was leaks from our club about his performances. Why the fark do we need to justify a decision ????? Or is it as simple as Reed or his manager...

Spoke to Isaac earlier and he confirmed : Galvin to lock Mann left centre Critta 5/8th Hayward to right edge backrow Preston halfback If Kiraz plays it will be at hooker. Gameplan is no passing if Kiraz plays at 9. He just scoops it up and runs, then offloads, then goes back to dummy half...

These bitches today. Must have a fetish for cauliflower ears. Never ceases to amaze…

Yeah but that was like being the smartest kid at a school for retaards

Hayward can play 80. Sexton gives better coverage in the halves. Bailey looked pretty ordinary at 6 last week. Also we don’t know what’s going on during the week. Reed might be kicking stones

The problem with that mate is the last time we went with that lineup we got beat by an understrength Broncos lineup at home. Combinations were horrible that night.

Take the team list with a grain of salt. I still dont reckon we can win a semi with Salmon, Mann, Hayward and Reed in the 17. Will be interesting to see who Hayes comes in for. For me it needs to either Salmon or Hayward but doubt that will happen. They all played last time v the storm and we...

It's so dumb that they would play prelim finals at grounds that hold 20k. Just beyond comprehension really. Shows how the NRL panders to the clubs too much. Raiders should be playing prelim final at Allianz if they win next week. Absolute no brainer. Even their own fans will miss out on...

Agreed mate but am afraid it may not happen. It looks like Ciro has a few favourites and Bailey and Salmon look at the top of that list. We are not at training though and also not on the field. Apparently those 2 are good at conveying the coaches orders. I just cant see a way we can win the...

Yep it is. But Dylan Brown is on $1.3m mate.

I think Burto to Perth is a very strong chance. Mal likes him and I reckon they will offer him $1.2 or $1.3 million. He’d be mad not to take it. They will use it as a marketing tool by just playing that bomb he put up in Perth for NSW

Might rest him next week. They tend to do that. Rest certain players one week and then others the next. They will definitely give themselves a chance. They pumped the warriors over there with more players out than this week

Sorry mate just seen this. You can’t compare Marky Mark to Daniel Tupou. About 180 tries the difference. Also Marky Mark has fallen off a cliff the past 6 weeks. Barely done anything. Kiraz should have been on the right wing. There was no logic why he wasn’t. Can you provide any ? Cronk...

Use your member number bro. That’s the code

Kiraz is an elite right winger but he is an ordinary left winger. It just makes no sense

He made Trent Barrett look like Craig Bellamy last night. 90% of roosters tries since Walker has been back have come from kicks. So let’s : a) Switch our best leaper from his preferred side where he would have been marking Tupou ; and b) Have our second best leaper standing there doing sweet...

I reckon he will be playing 80 minutes soon. I'd rather Hughes in the 17 than carry Reed on the bench. Hughes has dropped out recently when Sitili has come back. Hopefully he becomes a very good long term hooker for us. Certainly looks better than reincarnation of Michael Liicha that Parra...

If Luai goes after him Critta needs to stand up for Lachie. Put his friendship aside . Wondering who will be the first to go at Luai if it happens. Last year it would have been Reed. This year I think about 10 will swarm him
