Came here just to write this. His rotations annoy me. Hayward should have finished that game off (Turpin is terrible and cost us the game with that missed tackle and Hayward was playing real well)

They’ve held their own but would prefer if we get Sam Hughes minutes on each side of the half instead of bringing him on with 20-25 mins in the game. We will tire out Max King if we keep using him the same way.

This guy is very handy (a bit injury prone though). Can do a job at fullback and centres. He's definitely not a halve even if he came up the grades in that position.

Best big game player in the world

This guy will be a lot better than any halfback we’ve had since Foran. Will compliment Burton well. Good make shift signing until we find something full time

If Gus can’t fix us I don’t think anyone literally can

Anyone know how I can watch this?

Gus just said on Twitter King and Preston are in doubt. Going to be a hiding without them two

Fair enough I've not seen much of him in reserves but every time he's played in first grade he's looked decent. Would like him to keep his spot in our 17

Needs more minutes - runs hard, quick play the balls, runs in numbers with the other forwards and puts his body on the line on defence.

Clueless c***’s criticising this bloke. Absolute weapon player who will only get better with a forward pack and help from a 7 that’s not disabled

2000, was a pretty good gig for the first few years lol

Only 3 games in but I love how unselfish he’s played. He’s shown some great decision making for a bloke his age. Fox will be scoring a lot of tries this year thanks to him

Fullback and if he fails there he is still one the best centres in the game. Ideally you don’t want to pay players spine money if they fail but I’d rather overpay for a centre in hope that he could become a good fb than overpaying a winger hoping he can become a centre or fullback as there’s...

Great game tonight, very pleased with the effort but hoping that Ciraldo cleans up the forward rotations a bit better throughout the year. Thought he took way too long last week against Manly to bring on fresh forwards and the same today. Kept Wardell on and Sutton off for 10 mins more than he...

It's ok Nasheed, you might be too young to remember how explosive Utai was before the Matt Sing game

1. Barba 2. Hazem 3. Tonga/Vagana 4. J.Morris 5. Utai 6. Lamb 7. Mortimer 8. O'Melley 9. Ennis 10. Mason 11. Ryan 12. SBW 13. Price GL beating that team lol

He isn’t waiting, it’s a done deal..

Any word on TPJ

***** soft AF. All the natural talent in the world with no IQ or application. Hope he can get it together but don’t see it

Good move. Now start him instead of one of Vaughan and Thompson please

Says all the right things now we have to see it consistently on the field

I thought he was good against Manly. Made some tough runs and half breaks and wasn’t given the ball on a couple of opportunities when he was supposed to. He’s also by far the best defensive winger in the comp and helps the whole left side cause of his ability to rush in and recover with speed...

I was there, there fans were fine. Wish we got the win though

BBO is the most talented out of the lot and shows some good footy IQ in his stints. I'd like to see him get an extended run at 7 behind this pack.

This guy sucks. Cost us the game with constant bad decisions. BBO should be our 7 going forward with Cook at 14

Anyone that has watched him play in the past knows he's a good player that just had a bad luck with injuries. Hopefully he can stay fit as he's the only specialist center we have in our squad (I like Schoupp and Naden as players but don't see them as full time centres).

This guy is a monster. Will make Burton's life much easier next year.

Good player & good signing. Hopefully this means we can offload Thompson somewhere next year and use that money on a halfback.

Casey, Burns or Allan need to be on the wing. Please no more Okonbur

Didn't think you'd be talking about jerseys when I read that thread title lol

Money. It's a short career and they need to look after their families. Just look how many top players we've signed in the last couple of years because of our cap space despite being one of the worst run clubs (before Khoury and Gould came along).

We should be challenging for the Top 8. Anything else is a failure

Likewise bro. No one will question their cap though :sleepy::sleeping:

Will go to roosters. same source that gave me reed to us. Hope he’s wrong this time. fuck they’ll be tough to beat in 23. Scum

Yes I’m sure one of the greatest minds in rugby league history has forgotten that we need to extend our prized asset and future of the club

;)

Good player that's overpaid. If it means it gets a spine player over the line than so be it.

Not sure what year. All I got was that he’s coming over and money was too good to refuse. Don’t shoot the messenger if it doesn’t come through just passing on the info.

Likewise. Just putting it out there source didn’t come from board or anything. Happy to share with a moderator where the info came from

Got word this one is done and he’s signing for us..

1. Dufty 2. Cotric 3. Naden 4. Schoupp 5. Fox 6. Burton 7. Wakenham/Averillo 8. Thompson 9. JMK 10. Vaughan 11. Jackson 12. Hetherington 13. TPJ 14. BBO 15. RFM 16. Ava 17. Patolo

Fantastic tonight, some big offloads.

A lot better than what we have. Hope this is true

He's a good player who will grow another leg in a good side with support however 825k on a prop is too much. Especially when we're weak in all spine positions outside the 6. Would like to keep him if we can still upgrade hooker and half back position but if he needs to be sacrificed so be it.

Horsbrough was good last year at Lock before he suffered the Lisfranc injury. Wouldn't be a bad option on the cheap if we can snag him.

We need to give this kid the keys to the team for the rest of the season whether it be at 7 or 9. Nothing to lose in developing him he looks great and plays heads up footy.

Me too was one of his better games this season.

Doorey is running some good lines and playing well. Katoa is the worst player in Bulldogs history.

Him and Thompson would be a perfect duo. High work rate, quick runs and play the balls and put in defensive work. I’d like him here but wouldn’t pay more than 500k a year.

Wasn’t aware that this happened on Monday but according to Fox Sports “Cronulla lock Toby Rudolf has also met with the Bulldogs and toured Belmore on Monday with Canterbury-Bankstown believed to be preparing to table a three-year deal.”...

Flannagan was excellent and Cotric looked dangerous. We definitely need Thompson back and another front rower though. If we cut out some of those silly errors we could be winning these type of games. I’d be keep Elliot on the left edge with RFM on the right though.

Deitz will be starting on the bench. 100% close source.

Haven’t been a fan but I thought he was good last year . If he can improve on last year we have ourselves a handy player.

Lol, Baz called Klemmer a month back asking what it would take to come back and Klemmer told him no. I wish I could give out my source but I can’t. Fuck Klemmer ***** had nothing but bad things to say about us since he left too.

I spoke to a player from one of the two other interested clubs (Souths & Tigers) last Friday who's been in touch with JAC. Jac wants to go to Souths if they can find a way to fit him in the cap. Don't shoot the messenger just telling you what the player told me..

He's got the speed and footwork to be a really good fullback. His ball playing ability is more suited to fullback then halve too IMO. Really excited about his potential.

I cant watch this guy anymore

Would be a cool story but he dogged us before and we don't need anymore second rowers

Nope mine started with E, what a story this could have been :tearsofjoy:

Me too lmao. I feel like this is the same person

This is the same NRL that lets a bloke that nearly killed a family play in their league. The same NRL that lets blokes who assault their wives play, and blokes that get busted on coke play and their club gets no fine. The media and the NRL are an absolute disgrace

Don't want him at Centre at all, he's not laterally quick enough. Good signing for the club and he should be starting on our right edge with RFM/Martin on the left edge and Jackson at 13. He'll make Foran's life a lot easier next year cause he runs great lines at speed.

Playing extremely well today for his second game in first grade. Patience is important with these young guys

It's a culture thing bro. 1) I don't want a player that doesn't want to be at the club and isn't going to put the full amount of effort to play for us. 2) He's not playing at the value of 500k player. The amount of games he's cost us with his dumb penalties and lazy defense is beyond me. 3) If...

2018 FA List Players that would cost anywhere between 400-500k : Isaako, Sua, Seggy, Junior Tatola, Ah Mau. All players that would be half of what we were paying him who will contribute substantially more than that bum.

Don't care if we're paying 200-300k out of his contract every season. Good riddance to him. We will be able to find a player that's double his value for half the price we were paying him. This has to go down as the worst signing our club has ever made and I'm glad his gone from our club.

Why is Martin benched lol? He's been one of our best and a key component of my fantasy team haha. Dean Pay fucking up both my teams

Agree with all of these besides Hastings (don't want his character around the club). All the other guys are seriously talented. Especially Matt Parcell. Don't know why he hasn't been snapped up by an NRL club but he's lightning quick, darts out of dummy half has good service and can defend well...

RFM, Morris Brothers, Mbye, Klemmer, Martin and Kerron Holland have been good. Everyone else subpar. Hoppa and Foran have had a few good games though.

He's not good at all ATM. But that's expected for a 21 year old winger in first year of NRL. Does have a bit of talent, but he'll need to put size on asap. Either way better that were targeting these young players to produce, rather than has beens.

For sure. He's been superb for us for a number of years and extremely passionate and loyal about our club. Might have declined over the past 2-3 years but in his peak/prime he was absolutely devastating. Still a good first grade center though.

Yeah bro I was along the same line of thinking Re his defense. Thanks for the advice about his kicking. Croft is doing my head in as well the little midget, cant tackle to save his life. Probably going to downgrade Leilua as he injured his ankle to JMK and use the money to upgrade Croft to...

Anyone watched JMK before, outside his two stints off the bench at Hooker? How's his kicking game? Thinking of bringing him into my fantasy team lol

This is embarrassing. We suck

Sorry fellas didn't see the other thread with positive and negative. Feel free to move this into that one or delete.

First game of the season with a new side against a team that's been together for several years. Our attack looked good, we were just missing the final ball on a few set plays which will come with experience. Defensively we got let down by individual mistakes which will eventually clean up with...

Feels good that our half back is running straight. He's created some 4 on 3's we haven't taken advantage of yet but it'll come with time.

Needs to improve his hands. Runs good lines, tackles hard but drops the ball on a lot of occasions. Was a problem Finucane had with us as well and he seems to be fine at Melbourne now so we'll see.

Excited to see what he can bring to the team this year. Those last three games were excellent from him and made us much more enjoyable to watch.

Hooker is a perfect position for him. He's comfortable with passing to both sides off the ground, he can use his speed out of Dummy Half to get quick meters or break the line. He should start kicking out of Dummy Half to release pressure for us like Smith does for Melbourne. His kicking game is...

A real blow for my fantasy team. Not so much ours. Would love to see Klemmer/Tolman as our starting props with Jackson at the 13 and RFM and Elliot on the edges.

I just don't understand how you could be a professional Rugby player and the main job for you is too pass the ball of the ground both ways and you haven't acquired that skill in your whole life of playing, or worked on it in your 3 years at the club.

Exactly, we can offer him more than the 200k that he's on. Whether we need him or not, we can agree to disagree.

He is a proper Fullback. Watch him play there for the Souths and then come back. Blokes got it all (speed, tackle busts, ball playing, short kicking, support play).

If the Bulldogs were a smart club we'd chase this guy hard. Wants a release from Rabbitoh's and is apparently only on 200k. He's a gun at FB and at 5/8, and has a few years left him in at his prime. Can solve a lot of problems for us.

We're always a few days or weeks behind when it comes to announcing these weeks. Stress less sir, this one looks in the bag.

Confirmed leaving to Sydney (didn't say which club) on Official warriors website. Great signing if he ends up with us. If we can manage to get a good FB for next year we will be hard to beat.

Exactly. He might have his brain fart moments but he is one of our only players that Bust Tackles, Offloads & creates something out of nothing.

Who knows, he's always been injury prone dating back to St George. Thought he did his knee in our last game as well but it looked like it was just a knock. We're a whole different team with someone as dynamic as him at FB.

Only players that contribute to winning games or may so in the future are: Montoya, Bmoz, Brenko, Mbye, Jackson, Klemmer, RFM. Honestly feel like the rest of the squad is dead wood and needs to be phased out.

Thanks mate

Question Re Abbey: Did he kick goals in the reserve grade? Need to bring in a cashie WFB for my Fantasy team and itd be good to get some free points off conversions. Thanks

They're both past it but not a problem in our team. They were so good in their prime that now they have declined are still serviceable players. A lot of other problems to fix before them.

Einstein said the definition of insanity is doing something over and over again and expecting a different result. Looks like our mad scientist has really turned KooKoo. I have never been so underwhelmed watching a Bulldogs side. We lack any ideas, don't run any set plays, play such a flat one...

I wish we could balance this better. Graham for ball playing, defence and hit/ups and Klemmer for impact and meters as our starting Forwards with Eastwood at Lock, and RFM and Jackson on the edges. Then Kasiano coming on for impact against tired legs/ball playing and Tolman keeping the...

You just know the whole NRL community and all them fair-weather fans will be after us if we lose which makes it twice more nerve wracking.

How's everybody doing? Long time lurker but I don't post much. All I've had in my had all week is this game and I cant wait to get out of work and get myself prepared for the game. Just under three hours to go. Usually I don't get too nervous before big games but this year with the team we've...

Lafai was our best player besides for James Graham last year, and was one of the best centers in the game. Hope he gets better and rediscovers his last years form.

Usually I don't condone shit like this but when a referee rips you off like that it's hard not to retaliate. People pay good money for tickets, transport, parking & food to get to games to watch their teams play and getting ripped off like that is a spit in the face of all the supporters.
