IMB is playing Massey cup today 12pm, check your teamlist again.

Poasa & Turpin playing NSWCup means Hayward, Taffee Morrin, & King playing NRL

Dogs Matthews Cup team & Easts SGB team were both undefeated till today & both had not played for 3 weeks, crazy.

Trey is an old Aussie slang term for a Threepence & a Zac was Sixpence & a Dina was a Shilling etc

My maximum amount of $195k is what is left from the $650k Supplementary cap. 6 players x $80k min plus Morrin, Poasa & Hayward $3k/game bonus subtract approx $40k for Edwards release.

Huge prop IMB making his long awaited comeback in Massey Cup on Sunday after more than 12 months out with injury.

True, but can't buy much for $80k to $195k max Supplementary contract. Please check my arithmetic.

Edwards got Supplementary (old Development) deal when Gabrael went to Sharks.

At the 26th min the score was 16-16

Marcelo Montoya was born in Fiji

Add Jake Turpin to your list.

Poasa & Patolo should drop back from NRL extended bench

Hopefully he didn't give Potter those black eyes as per Titans game coaches box behind CC.

Ask Gus what has happened to Jeral Skelton after finishing his last game vs the Jets on 15 March.

Do you mean like Robert Shaw in Battle of the Bulge Movie

Lachlan Vale 2023 Bulldogs Jersey Flegg player of the year.

Yes Jirah Momoisea played 50mins in Dogs Massey Cup who lost on the bell 22-18, equal tries but only kicking one conversion.

Gus might have to release someone from top30 before Jirah Momma-mia is officially announced, although I noticed Topine's photo was removed from Bulldogs Team page during the week.

Very strange Bulldogs Teams Top30 photo selections, BBO is not in top30 & Poasa Faamausili has a Supplementary (development) contract & Daniel Suluka-Fifita is not listed, also player JT recently removed is still listed on NRL.com Signings Tracker

Who said we are getting salary cap dispensation for KO? Usually only applies if injury happened in a rep game. Maybe Gus will use his Top30 spot this year like he did with BBO last year & promoted Hoffman.

& 5 ex Dogs in Eels NRL squad.

4July 2023, The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs are pleased to announce the signing of Toby Sexton effective immediately and until the end of the 2025 season. NRL.com Signings Tracker have been wrong this year also not showing Blake Wilson's 2025 contract.

As yet O'Neill does not have a contract for next year whereas 4 halfbacks in Hutchison, Sexton, Hayward & Woods all have top30 deals for 2025.

Only 7 out of 17 players from Dogs winning JF 2023 grand final team are in the team to play the Eels, a couple injured, some left & others elevated to NSWCup.

I have a dream one day the Bulldogs will rise up, I have a dream... sounds familiar... MLK.

Zane Tetevano added to NRL.com official Dogs Top30 list but BBO removed, so 29 including Jackson Topine.

JAC missed the Dogs season launch last night or he is extremely camera shy.

No SGBall playing Eels

They said at the AGM they were going to announce the top30 tonight at the season launch, maybe no Topine?? The NRL requires a min 28 players signed to top30 contracts by March. Dogs currently have 29 listed on NRL.com including Topine.

Has Gus forgotten about KO's neck surgery, rehab & possible return date?

BBO came back long before the finals, he played the last 9 games & steered the NSWCup team to only one win.

O'Neill, Hayward, Papalii, Morrin, Faamausili & Edwards are Supplementary (old development) contracted & are NRL available from Rd1 NSW contracted & train & trial contracted have to wait till Rd11.

Zac Hetherington has signed with Wynnum Manly Seagulls

Buzz hitting back at Gus for saying his paper is a f------ rag. Buzz: Wrestle-Gate creates cap drama for Dogs The Bulldogs have a salary cap problem with a player who walked out on the club last year no longer being paid despite the NRL listing him in the top 30.

Looks like 2 Broncos on the same horse, One asks Y'up? other answers Y'up.

Don't forget this team didn't play Tracey, JAC, Crichton, Perham, Kiraz, Oloapu, BBO, Sutton, Turpin, Patolo, Kikau, Curran, Mann. Reserve Edwards

This young Prop comes to the Western Clydesdales after debuting in the Hostplus Cup in 2023 with the Central Queensland Capras. Leard-Lamont has been signed by our NRL affiliate, the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs and will spend the 2024 season with the Western Clydesdales. Young and dynamic with...

Are negotiations still ongoing or did he fail his medical?

These guys will drop back to JF & Massey cup when the comp starts

JAC, Curran & BBO out of Sharks trial but selected for Indg v Maori

NSWCup trial Dogs v Norths (Storm) 15 Feb 5.30pm Belmore

Every Dogs Grand Final year was great just a fantastic ride to share.

Still a little confusing, NRL.com lists 30 including Topine & Montgomery but missing RFM. Bulldogs.com Team photos lists 31 includes all 3, but Gus says spots available, so omitting all 3 leaves 28 equals 2 spots available, SIMPLES!!!

Gus tweeted Zac Montgomery left the club before Christmas & he is still shown on the photo/profile page.

Gus tweeted Harrison Edwards is on a Supplementary deal this year.

Cash could be the difference, Top30 min wage is $130k & the 6 Dogs players on Supplementary deals have the $650,000 cap divided between them with a min $80k each. One paper report states Woods is also on a Supplementary deal in 2024 making 7 which would mean an even smaller piece of the pie.

2023 jersey, different minor sponsors this year eg Future Form replaces Sydney Tools etc

Maybe we are also Shark-Dogs as Xerri, Salmon, Samrani, Hughes & Tracey all played Shark's juniors & even JAC played 2 years for the Sharks NYC team.

$750k is for a 12 months contract, if he does not sign till May its only for 6 months so about $300k is ok.

You spotted Montgomery missing form training & now Gus had to bring the top31 down to 30 but I am hearing is now 29 to sign another NRL prop for 2024 so maybe Topine or KO are now a train & trial like BBO last year???

Ask Gus how huge prop Isaac Matalavea-Booth is also recovering from March 2023 surgery.

If he has that would make our top31 an NRL compliant top30, plus 7 or 8 supplementary contracts.

Papali'i Supplementary 2024 & 2025, Todd Train & Trial 2024 as of last Nov1 & as Gus says players & contracts change as circumstances change.

Probably have to wait till second trial v Sharks due to Indig v Maori to see Curran & JAC

So far the jury is still out.

By his own admission Knight was sacked by the Sea Eagles, Roosters & Raiders for alcohol abuse & only managed 24 games in his last 3 seasons at Souths due to injury he believes he has had a somewhat wasted career. I believe he will have a big year because at almost 29 the Bulldogs are his last...

5 of Liam Knights 10 NRL games were played with Souths.

Twin Turbo told us this fact months ago

Not a swap deal just swapping clubs.

Rumour in the Shire Hamlin-Uele will be the swap for 2025.

Hardly whispers, Joash Papalii to be tried in multiple positions was stated by GM of Pathways Adam Hartigan on Bulldogs site on 11 Oct 2023.

How can you say our middles are worse than last year? Because of injury Hughes & Knight only played 5 games each, Thompson 4 & Patolo 2. As Gus said our middles will surprise this year.

Sexton signed till end 2025, as per Bullldogs.com.au 4 Jul 2023

Kent could not be found guilty of choking his girlfriend as he didn't use his hands.

Wonderful to see the new Roosters Rugby recruit has agreed to the Roosters miserly code of accepting $300k less than the Rugby Union offer.

Sharks confirm 3y Top30 contract for Connor Tracey swap player Michael Gabrael.

Maybe Dick Tracey came from the Broncos but Connor Tracey is a Sharks junior & played in the halves before joining Souths.

Is that the Fuzz with bleached hair???

By signing Connor Tracey the Bulldogs now have top31 as per NRL.com Signings Tracker

Gus tweeted IM-B is currently on a train & trial contract while still rehabilitating his badly injured lower leg sustained in JF rd2.

Everyone knows RFM is a top boke that is why the Dogs gave him a new 3 year contract & made him cub captain, but he didn't realise he should have put the club & team first & not the young whingers.

Still a bit younger than SST who turns 32 in January.

Tanner played lower grades at the Panthers before joining the Dogs so has gone back home to the riff. It would be a brave or stupid man who would suggest he is going to be Leniu's replacement.

Edwards is not top30 or Supplementary (Old development) at this stage, but maybe train & trial or NSWCup contract so no NRL till Rd11

TPJ photo removed from Bulldogs.com.au TEAMS NRL but Burns, EQW & Okunbor etc still on NSWCup page

Faamausili has replaced Pele & Knight has replaced Thompson & TPJ will be replaced soon so in the mean time try not to panic.

Probably just overlooked TPJ, same as NSWCup page with Burns, EQW, Okunbor etc still have their photos listed.

Maybe uncle Nick gave the 'manager' an offer he couldn't refuse?

Add Isaac Matalavea-Booth (per Gus X) & Melino Fineanganofo (Clydesdales centre)

Ask Gus if Isaac Matalavea-Booth is still with the club after his season ending multiple leg injuries?

& Toby Sexton 2025 deal as per Bulldogs.com.au 4July 2023

Maybe IM-B & SST are waiting in the wings as well???

Wilson not named on NRL.com official updated top30 lists today. Development contracts are available from rd1.

KO, Topine & RFM all named in top30 today, but Hoffman gone.

Wilson & Morrin not top30 & no room in top30 for SST till RFM etc get released.

Today Salford signed Cade Cust taking their last overseas quota position, hopefully another SL club signs RFM.

Possibly a like for like replacement for Franklin Pele.

Salford only have one overseas quota spots left, hoping its still for RFM.

2 dev players were injured for most of the year & one transferred to Wests & the other being O'Neill played mostly JF with a couple of NSWCup games.

Great front row, they are frightening & halfback maybe elusive in night games.

Finally great news, since he stopped backing the coaching staff he has been as popular as a pork chop in a synagogue.

About this time last year Gus was working feverishly behind the scenes releasing Joshua Cook, Aaron Schoupp, Ava Seumanufagai & Corey Allan from their 2023 top30 contracts, who will it be this year?

I think KK has pulled out with an injury.

Everyone liked him that is why the Dogs made him club captain & rewarded him with a new 3 year contract, but if he played footy in the USA his new nickname would be Benedict Arnold.

Also Sam Hughes, BBO, Kitione Kautoga & Poasa Faamausili are supposed top30 for 2024 makes 32.

Problem being he is taking up a top30 spot which has been allocated to one of the new signings who can't be announced till RFM has been released to a another club.

Club insider told me Burton was coming early after Rd2 Dogs v Panthers 2021 but the deal fell through when DWZ ko'd Cleary.

Maybe youngsters Kaleb Eaton, Cody Parry & Alex Conti are some of the 8 or 9 new signings Gus will announce.

Missed the bus with Doggie mate Ryan Sutton.
