I feel bad for him personally but for the club he has been a disaster. Wish him all the best at another club now.

Can we give them Perham instead?

NO CHANGES!!! Wtf!!

Yesterdays result and specifically the defence was poor. However our style of attack, willingness to create width and stretch the defence looked promising. I like the early lateral play and the width of passing. I feel like there is promise there. Any thoughts?

Let Luke Thompson go keep both. Promote okunbur to forward full time.

I just saw the footage of this guy. I don’t think he is a back. Thinking he will be a forward. In that hame Sele or Talakai (who does play centre for sharks) mould. Based on this footage it might be the plan to move him

Would like to keep Alamoti. Does this also mean we didn’t sign Sele from south’s. As they are cousins right. I thought that would have been part of the appeal.

If push comes to shove Averillo over Alamoti. When Crichton comes next year Perham could easily be shifted into centres. Alamoti is surplus.

Take out Hunt Add in Patolo (announced this week) Take out Kaotangi and add in Morrin Take out Thompson and add in Nu Brown. Then it s realistic Also Ryan Gray (back up Hooker) is in the mix

KO Is building his game around his defence which was exceptional today. A lot of work to do in attack but defence first. Very impressive so far.

Anyone seen the likely team. Could you post please

Wow. Edwards. I am impressed. Let’s cut Thompson loose and make sure we keep this kid.

When Mahoney went off for HIA who went to dummy half? Edwards or Morrin? I was at the game and couldn’t tell.

This

Commuted running and looking like he wants to break tackles. Reckon he could be a long term 13. Can he pass well??

Sele on half of Thompson s wage is a huge win for us. Hope it’s official. He has a quick play the ball and tends to land on hands and knees which is critical for modern props

That’s exactly what I heard. I posted that on the weekend. BBO will get his shot to partner Burton next. That’s if KO doesn’t really kick on. BBO was chosen over wakeham at end of last year (before he hurt his knee) to battle with flanno for number 7. Gus rates BBO.

He was removed from top 30 whilst recovering from acl. Never released. He will be back in 4-5 weeks from what I can gather. I have seen footage of him patolo and addo Carr in rehab group. BBO will be back in fg this year. With Davey and Clarke released there are two or three spots on top 30...

KO is not the problem. He deserves all the support and patience we have. He is a great tackler and moves so well. He needs time and coaching.

I was fairly sure he played the back half of last season in NSW cup as dominant half and we won a bunch of those games. Can anyone confirm that who watche those games?? Just hope more than anything but I know they chose BBO over wakeham for a reason.

Bailey’s return is not too far away based on injury updates from club. Got me wondering: is he a potential number 7? Can anyone remember him Playing 7 in NSW cup last year? Pretty sure he was doing well at 7 and got injured in their run to the finals. We desperately need a dominant 7. Could...

Agree. Tolman was a good player. . The coaching was the issue.

Huge upside on him though. Can’t be any worse than what Thompson has given us. Except he has way more potential

Great idea and I hope flanno does well at hooker. Just needs to tackle well and get good quality ball to halves. Just need to be an uncomplicated hooker and back up for Reed.

BBO or KO Long term 6 or 14. With Burton Crichton and Mahoney completing the spine.

Bennet would play KO as he is with Katoa and back him for 6-7 games to show his worth

Wonder if BBO is the half we are waiting for to partner Burton?? Maybe?

It’s important in its symbolism. Both half’s on notice. Flanagan must know it’s now or never.

I take your point about Flanagan not being poor in that he doesn’t make mistakes. But the half back has a bigger responsibility than that. They have to create things. Take initiative. Take chances. Challenge the line. Create points and opportunities for others. Flanagan does not do that...

That’s poor. Luke and Corey’s microphone s aren’t on. Wow. They have Four expensive mics. Think they might have sound checked them?

Honestly you have zero league iq. What position did you play growing up?

In other teams (Eg panthers) 7 plays both sides. 6 and 1 stick to a specific side. Therefore Burton at 7 like Hynes and Cleary will have his hands on ball much more often and both left and right side.

For now. It has to be a formal recognition at least that Flanagan is not doing what they expect. I hope Oloapu plays 6 this weekend.

Bench- Pangai, Waddelll, Okunbur, and either Topine/Reynolds

Casey has speed. A like for like replacement. Keep okunbur and topine on the bench.

Mahoney 100 times over B Smith. Credit to Barret for his recruitment

April Fools

Is anyone else having issues with kayo ? Glitchy, drops out and buffers all the time. This whole year it’s been much worse than last season. Anyone having similar issues?

Bro she-Rex played some solid games for us. It was how he was used and sometimes the ineffective players around him. At this point she-Rex is five times the player TPJ is.

*global warming

Yeah interested to see Kitione Kautoga play. Mate at tigers see he is a solid middle who was stuck behind Stef , twal, Joe and Klemmer and when they recruited Bateman and Papalli he wanted out. Also Davey playing as a middle. That’s what we need some quality middles coming through.

Be interesting to watch this one play out. We need middles.

Kayo not working for me either. And agree it’s been worse this season

Move him to the middle. Where he played last night. He could be a gun for us. Great ball skills and a big body. And he is obviously a leader- club captain.

I like Okonbur as a utlitly can cover wing and back row and middle if needed. He would be better in the forwards then on the wing.

Really??

Oloapau is the one.

Aside from Edwards the whole panthers team are struggling without Api. But it’s a long season.

If he is out of top 30 due to an injury he can still be signed to a contract. Out of top 30 doesn’t mean released- I believe.

This

I think Avo did enough to deserve a crack at FB this year. He showed potential in number 1 jersey last year. He needs some coaching and a better support around him but he also has some spark and can find the line. I don’t get how Perham can come in -having not played FB in first grade for any...

And this one

He is just a place holder for Crichton. I don’t know why during last year JAC wasn’t given a crack. JAC would be now worse. But he has real speed and a threat on kick return. Perham was terrible but then again in the Panthers game so was Crichton. Maybe FB takes time to adjust- much more...

My worst nightmare is if an outside back goes down and they shuffle Burton to centre and Reynolds to 5/8. I also really think this is Ciraldos top side.

As others have suggested it means the deal Is done or it’s rejected with Leinu. It just means the negotiations are over. Also we do need to support our 2023 team or else we are looking At tomorrow and tomorrow never comes.

Call it “The Dogcast”

Cleary is not a small 7. KO is a half. Who will on the side Burton doesn’t play. As soon as Flanno fails.

People need to just float out. Never battle it. Take something that floats and throw it out. Eventually you will be pushed back to shore. Panic is the killer not the ocean.

Guys he is a half. He can wear 7. There is no confusion as to his position. The melb storm model shows us in the modern game you can have non traditional halves. One is left and one is right.

Yes. That seems obvious to me. Just as Mitch Moses played 6 early in his career outside Luke Brooks. It’s a relatively easy adjustment

Karl will be a right side half. Burton left side. He will aim to wear the 7. Will be next in-line after Flanagan. Mahoney will be main organiser

Sione Kite 2.0

Yes.

Based on the lack of denial from Gus. I would say it’s a yes. Big game player. Potential is through the roof. Reminds me of latrell when latrell was playing centres for roosters

Can someone please post a link to these bulldogs training photos with Nathan brown in the background

Really hope on merit alone Ciraldo picks Reynolds in the 30. But not as a 7. A utility. Warming the seat and nurturing BBO and Rajab. Come on Reynolds find some form. Will be an epic story

The clubs were expecting it up over 11 million but not sure by how much. I think the increase will be more of an effect at bottom end than top end of salaries

It’s a bit of both. But that’s the point. Story is here if interested- https://amp.smh.com.au/opinion/peter-fitzsimons-why-i-wear-the-red-bandanna-20131231-304co.html

I liked the bandana story. I know he talks a lot of trash but he is nobody’s bitch. I kind of admire him.

It’s Nathan Brown from Eels

Bro this is essentially an anonymous forum. There is no such thing as secrecy. If you knew the alleged second signing name it. Or just another bs post.

Bro so sorry to read that. Wow. You are a warrior.

Stephen Crichton. He is a gun. A big game weapon. Anyone doubting him watch that World Cup semi last night against England. He is number 1 target for me

Hopefully Stephen Crichton. He or Averillo or Alamotti or Skelton to centrec. Even Lorax to centre and Casey on wing.

Surprised we did not keep Brandon Wakeham

Interesting if true. Would rather keep and develop BBO or even wakeham at 14 then Docker-Clay.

Hastings is the organising typenhalf we have been lacking tho. Unless Mahoney has the capability to guide the team around the field. Hastings is not athletic but quick between the ears and dragged tigers into a few wins last season. Particularly remember a field goal win he constructed. We...

If you know in your heart it’s over then have the courage. The serenity you speak of will be with you forever after. You have to be true to yourself and honest with your kids and your wife. And at all time s respectful to her regardless of what she throws at you. It’s one life. Life it...

Fox- C Mahoney-C Burton-C Leadership group

Great news. Declan Casey has shown more. Free up some cash too

It will only take one epic court case. One judge to award damages and it will unravel.

If you could get your hand on it-then micro dose it -testosterone (in small micro-doses) would have you feeling amazing

In regards to BBO maybe he is a 14.

I don’t see how signing another average young half with potential helps. We have flanno BBO and even wakeham. Adding Sullivan to that list does little to help. He is not miles ahead of those three. Rather wait. See what Ciraldo can do with them and sign a legit upgrade for 2024

Totally agree. The bigger the moment the better he plays.

Api Korosau and Kikau are huge loses. They are only one important injury away from missing out It’s far from over for next year

Wakeham deserves a chance with Ciraldo.

On this page there is a “watch live” tab

I just found a link that works. Through the NSWRL official site. Watching flegg presentation now.

Is the stream on now. I have nothing working

Is the stream working for anyone else yet?

I have only been once and found parking on surrounding streets quite easy to find and it was free Did not seem like it was an issue really.

Terrible signing of true. A mid range plodder. Blocking pathways for BBO, Gray and Clark. Even Wakeham possibly deserves a chance under some decent coaching

Bro I am white Anglo. But I believe there was a distinct racist undertone.

Mate it was the number 9 Ryan Gray who had a great game. You couldn’t work out who it was??? Or do you just like being a hero and abusing the kid for a 50/50 call. He played the whole game at number 9 and deserves praise. He is not the dumb fuck

I also thought there was a racist bullying type undertone to him being the butt of all jokes. Always dislike the need to belittle him. In saying that. I am sure he was happy to cash the weekly wage from channel 9. Beats working for a living.

Ha ha. We have had a lot of those.
