    Bronson ask for a release?

    Xerri isn’t really a strike centre but he does a lot of the hard stuff and tough carries. Helps to get our sets rolling and I think we would miss him unless we can get a real top tier Centre to replace him.

    I wanted him to stay too, but fair enough he wanted the long term security and we needed to prioritise a few other positions. No hard feelings from me toward Reed, he gave his all for the jersey and his mates.

    I’m sure Reed knows, Gus even went public with it. Unless Reed didn’t see the interview. Gus quoted saying that Reed was paid very well to come and help change the culture and paid as an 80min player. Reed was told that he could stay but would play reduced minutes and that comes with reduced...

    Mitch Barnett leaving Warriors

    Initially when I heard this news I thought we should try and sign him. But he Turns 33 next year a month into the comp and is coming of the ACL injury. I’d imagine he wants 2-3yrs and $600-$700k per season. I’m not as keen now, unless of course he kills it this season when he returns from the...

    Official Injury updates

    Technically happened during rep camp so don’t we get compensation or allowed to grab a player of equal value? Or is that only injuries during a game?

    Reynolds has had a heap of calf and hammy injuries but to be fair and surprisingly he averages 22 games per season over his career. I think he had a few long stretches early and then mid career where he didn’t miss many games.

    I think we made a play for Haas awhile back, I don’t think we wanted to go back down that path again. Plus it’s common knowledge it’s costing at least $1.2M to sign him, Gus isn’t coughing up that for a Prop, even if he is the best prop in the game (IMO)

    Game day one Pre season Bulldogs vs Cowboys Jubilee Stadium 5:30pm

    I was using the Tolman/Haas example to exaggerate that SuperCoach stats can make a hard working player look more like a future NRL immortal. I don’t actually know what Tolman’s SC numbers looked like.

    Game day one Pre season Bulldogs vs Cowboys Jubilee Stadium 5:30pm

    Prices for SuperCoach are mainly based on stats, Critta might have a huge impact on the field as far as leadership or coming up with a big play when we need it, but those aren’t scored in SuperCoach. But the higher SC scorers are the players taking +20 hit ups, off loads, scoring tries and...

    What are your thoughts on Mitchell Woods?

    I’m concerned that he has had a lot of those hammy, calf type injuries. Maybe it’s his running style or he has issues through his hips and lower back. Jokingly they do say hammy injuries are for old men so I’m worried about the number of these injuries he has had at such a young age.

    Does anyone know what supplements nrl players take?

    I’ve never used BCAA myself, I’ve always just stuck to creatine and occasional protein shake. I’ve never been a fan of pre workout either, I prefer just a coffee.
  19. Dogs79

    Does anyone know what supplements nrl players take?

    At the very least Creatine and Protein supplements. But each player would have individual programs based on positions, goals ie bulk up, trim down, endurance etc. I’d say BCAA probably consumed. The big difference is that you’ve been training consistently for 3yrs, that’s great. But most of...

    Opinion Something in the Drinkwater

    I’d say No to Drinky based more on value for money. Tracy would be getting maybe $400k? Drinky would want $700-$800k? I don’t think the extra try assists are worth $300-$400k considering his defensive issues and weaknesses under the high ball. I think once we see the growth of the Woods/Galvin...

    Salary cap is full: Phil Gould

    Is the Vet allowance per team? So you could have a few players qualify but spread the $300k? Or Is it up to $300k per qualifying player? I know a few Vet Allowance rules changed a season or two back, so we have anyone qualify under the current rules?

Obviously things didn’t work out for him at Bronx, but he’ll be on $1200 per wk, off the cap and should be hungry to impress. Can’t really see any issues with this one...

    He can earn some decent money for awhile playing Rugby in France or Japan, do some travelling and then collect the R360 pay cheque. When you’ve had the injuries Paps has had, I’m sure you start to think about how short your career is and you need to make money while you can.

    I agree mate, he is a decent 14 who can cover 6,7,9,13 but not a starting 9. I hate that he is effectively serving a No.9 apprenticeship in FG. That needs to happen at jnrs or at least NSW Cup. Feel like we setting him up and the team to fail.

    Only my opinion, but the Mahoney decision is the one we should be worried about. And the lack of size and punch in our pack.
