We definitely need 2-3 top line props
Nothing available and what Anasta said, the Dogs must go out and steal a player
Haas, Tino, NAS all just resigned, so who do target?
AFB?
JFH?
Collins?
We need forwards and we need a big name in the halves
From what I've seen from Burton he doesnt cut the mustard in the halves. He did well in the centres at Penrith and for NSW
It might be an unpopular opinion but the big name we should chase is Luai to play at #6 and move Burton to the...
Didnt Dibs cronies come out before the previous elections, throwing out rumours and blame games trying to destabilise the club?
Seems like they are at it again
We need atleast 2 first class props
Definitely NAS
Burto is definitely a centre just like Crichton
Is Burto the answer @ #6? I cant see CC moving Burto into the centres
Franklin Pele has a motor with all the fuel efficiency of a V8 being driven around in first gear
Burton will eventually end up at centre or lock
At this stage, Flanagan is definitely the answer until Hayward is ready for first grade
Munster ain't moving to FB, regardless of where he ends up

Smart move by Gus
Cotric is excess to our needs, especially onthat big fat salary he is on.
I do not care which or who previous management signed him on overs, the problem is that he is on massive overs and we need to balance our cap and invest in our spine
I can see the club moving Averillo...
All this garbage about Woods and Klemmer!
We need another forward, a forward which will not cost an arm and a leg, a big forward, a forward who provides impact off the bench - That forward is Sam Kasiano
Cotric is crap and a disaster of a signing at those sort of dollars.
Positive signings are: Burton, JAC, Naden
Shit sigings are; Cotric, Waddell, Hethrington
Re-signings which MUST NOT happen are; Napa, Hoppa, Katoa
Couple of times this year, he had the line open with the opposition FB coming across, he just needed to put his head down and use his power to steamroll over, instead he stopped and stepped back in, only to get monstered.
Definitely plays like Jane
You need a lot more than "one off-season" to manufacture a 9
We are not manufacturing anything
It's all up to the board to show us wgat they are made of.....
With whats available at the moment i would go

2. Cotric

A.Crichton
R. Matterson
C. Murray
Finucane
Haas
Frizell
Walker
Barretts 2021 roster is weaker than Pays 2020 roster.
Looking at the other 15 nrl teams, no other team seems weaker than the Dogs - regardless of who the coach is
Coorey kicking up a stink because he got booted out.
Its quite clear the lebanese clans have been nothing but trouble for the dogs over the years.
They all need to be booted out, with only one exception which is Hazem El Masri
Club needs to look at it like this;
Foran @ 1.2m gives you a Brandon Smith @ approx. 800k a year with 400k left over.
Tolman would be on approx. 500k this year?
Holland and Montoya would be on approx 250k each?
Thats about 1.4m from players currently off contract.
Along with Brandon Smith...
Seems like Raymond Dib along with his cronies, have been sharing some cold winter nights by the camp fire and bottles of Jack Daniels with Buzz Rothfield.
Buzz Rothfield will go down as the greatest alcoholic degenerate in Rugby League journalism, while Raymond Dib will go down as the man who...
1. Hopoate
2. R. Smith
3. N. Cotric (3 year contract)
4. Ardie Savea (3 year contract)
5. DWZ
6. Foran (1 year contract)
7. Wakeham
8. Thompson
9. Jake Friend (2 year contract)
10. Napa
11. D. Fifita (5 year contract)
12. Jackson
13. Elliott
14. Averillo
15. To'omaga
16. RFM
17. Scott Sorensen...
Absolute garbage!
Lewis was soley responsible for guiding the team around the attacking zone and putting in those feral kicks.
The only time Wakeham got an opportunity in the attacking zone, he put in a grubber for a repeat set
First of all, hats off to all the boys. Gritty, tough and resilient tonight. We lost the game on the scoreboard due to a fumble in goal.
We were the better side and didn't deserve to lose.
It's the first game of the year and "you shouldn't look" too much into it, there is some truth to it...
I havent had a chance to watch any of the trial games, though its been mentioned that Smith has been moved/trialled at right centre?
I presume Hoppa has moved to left centre?
How has Hoppa been at left centre in the trials? I remember Hoppa playing left centre at the eels and he was terrible...
Wouldn't it be great to hear some positive statements about the fire fighting efforts instead of having to read all the knockers raving on about things that they know nothing about.!!!
Ok, theres alot of debate around about who we should, should not poach to come to our club.
2021 is still a long way to go, but just for "arguments" sake, lets skip to it for a moment and lock in what we know.
No doubt there are some dreamers around who will fill in the blanks, though it's...
Since Mario Tartak has been "advising" Latrell, the NRL has ordered all 16 NRL clubs not to have any dealings with Tartak.
Add to that, no club or business would want the headaches and hassle of Mundine, I agree there is alot more to all this
