I thought Eli Clark has looked really impressive in both trials.

ddt192 said: Heard we signed Daniel Suluka Fifita from Souths a good get? haven't seen much of him

another half?

Would go some way to solve a glaring issue.

For real, whether or not he lands a contract, it is certainly on the go

Curtis Scott currently training with Bronson Xerri and the Bulldogs.

free to leave Tigers, might land at the Dogs? This is pure speculation given our dire need for middles. Hitting 27 has a big motor, might fill a void. Thoughts?

Bulldog walks out on club after training ‘punishment’ https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/nrl/canterbury-bulldogs-player-walks-out-on-club-after-training-punishment/news-story/9621246058769157bc66aecd09d1bcd4

Sullivan being shown the door from the Dragons is to appease Ben Hunt who is not a fan, additionally Sullivan is a poor trainer as well as having a personality that's not to the liking of many.

I'd be leaning towards ... 1 Averillo 2 Wilson 3 Skelton 4 Kiraz 5 Fox 6 Burton 7 Sexton 8 King 9 Mahoney 10 Sutton 11 Kikau 12 Preston 13 Waddell 14 TPJ 15 Knight 16 Morrin 17 Oloapu / Okunbor 18 RFM 19 Topine Think it's time to try Jeral in the centres with Braidon always injured and...

Sullivan is the only back up 7 at the Dragons and Hunt wants out, there is no way we are getting Sullivan and this recent signing of Sexton should be enough to suggest the whole rumour was a joke from the start

Would love to see him at the Dogs

watched a bunch of Titans games match highlight videos from 2022 and the bloke was barely sighted. just reaffirmed what i thought of this signing. if we were desperate to make some change this year we should of just signed matt lodge for the remainder of 2023 and addressed our key issue which...

Not happening. Dud thread.

What happened with the Blake Wilson experiment?

You’re kidding, JAckson was better than Finucane and particularly at that stage of their careers.

Maybe Chrichton and Xerri in the centres with young Joash Papalii to have a go at 1? Poor old Perham can’t be there

On the topic of play the balls, Harrison Edwards took forever against the eels. Hopefully he can channel more of the good stuff we have seen and get a little hurry on at the ruck. On another point. Hayze Perham is doing an inexperienced spine absolutely no favours. Would like to see Averillo at...

BBO looks to be back on the scene, Was our rookie of the year only 2 years back. Could easily be 7 or 14, with Karl at 13.

unpopular opinion but with the dogs bench rotation and lack of quality forwards i think he is doing a fair job, there is hardly a player he can have a run on the back of, teams see him coming and put good numbers on him, if we had of had kikau and thompson running around with him i think he'd be...

I Like it, but I also like the possibility of seeing BBO at 7 and KO at 13. In seeing that I think BBO 14 and Morrin at 13 in the future could be a real go. Plays good ball and tough Morrin

Kikau was described by Ciraldo, before Ciraldo signed with the Bulldogs, as the best defensive back rower in the game. Burton and Kikau had shockers on Saturday. The rest of the team had some positive touches. I am tipping dogs to bounce back with a win over Melbourne and both of those players...

he was our rookie of the year two years ago and also looked pretty electric in a horrid side. barrett really put the brakes on a few young blokes. think biondi will kick on elsewhere, be interesting to see who picks him up next.

thought he could of played 7 and karl at 13, or at very least made a very handy 14. don't get it

Thought Joash Papalii looked real class - where does he play? 14 (hooker and backline?). An exciting prospect. Look forward to seeing Karl Oloapu run around next week.

hard and willing but could not pass to his left. fox was getting cold, any quality ball was a burton cut out.

Bulldogs Training at 3pm at Michael Cronin Oval Gerringong on Friday for anybody in the neighborhood who might be interested.

anyone got access to this?

Did particularly well considering Lebanon has only one forward with a total of 1 first grade NRL appearances, as hard as they tried they didn't create much space for their halves and considering that I thought young Rajeb was great, constantly pointing them to places and you could see he was...

I thought Lebanon should move Kiraz to centre and Doueihi to fullback to accommodate Rajeb in the halves with Moses

Definitely not. Just an SG Ball signing. His old man works for a player management company, probably wouldn’t of got a start at the Steelers. Media beat up click bait

Daily Telegraph - Buzz Rothfield.

Turn me inside

Thought he was pretty good again in his second outing. Looking forward to seeing him again on a dry track because he has a nice pass on him as well.

Blokes going good but given JMK is on the move next season and BBO was our rookie of the year last season and everyone is playing better post Barrett maybe he should get another go at 14.

Gus was commenting on a try he (Savage) scored

Anybody got access to the Telegraph article

In last week's commentary (Channel 9 V Melbourne), there was some chat about BBO and Barrett having huge raps on him and talking him up as a real prospect. I feel we will see Averillo stay in the centres, Wakeham remains at 14, but in the next few weeks BBO transitions to 7 and Kyle Flanagan...

I hope you are on the money, Cook's looked alright but my preference is BBO at 14. I think Wakeham could really impress a lot of doubters alongside Burton.

I feel Wakeham is far more in sync with his halves than JMK when at 9. Can't believe Biondi Odo isn't in the 17.

Can anyone post full article ... NRL reinvention: Surprise switch for Bulldogs enforcer Jack Hetherington lives his rugby league life on the edge and now he could literally be playing there as Canterbury coach Trent Barrett weighs up a move for the hardman.

Always a Bulldog Cheers mate, well hopefully he comes good on some of those areas as there is a lot to like about some of his showings so far.

That'll be off the cards for a while yet mate, so could you just fill me in as to why you think he isn't getting a go at 1? cheers

still can't believe they didn't run Averillo at 1 this season. Given Dufty only signed for 1 year I think he should be made to earn his spot. ROUND 1 1 Averillo 2 Addo-Carr 3 Schoupp 4 Naden 5 Cotric 6 Burton 7 Wakeham 8 TPJ 9 JMK 10 Vaughan 11 Hetherington 12 Jackson 13 Thompson 14 BBO 15...

I am a Wakeham fan, I think he has a lot to offer, because I feel with limited opportunity he has received this year he has been good. Some folks talk about him being inconsistent. First on several occasions he was paired up with Flanagan, a tough job for anyone because poor old Kyle never...

please be true

Got to agree, still think this bloke is our best bet next to Burton. Tough and skillful, just needs a 9 that will throw him the ball and should really shine when surrounded by less plodders. Some good early signs.

Thought he was steady with limited opportunity, should be better for the run. Defensively strong for a rookie.

Fair go, though I thought Wakeham prior to his pub outing was showing some good touch with forcing repeat sets.

I think we need to keep some coin up our sleeve and try and get some outcomes from the younger blokes we have been blooding. So I'd like to see Bailey Biondi Odo and JMK share the 9. And in 22 either Burton 7 and Averillo at 6 or Wakeham at 7 and Burton at 6 with Averillo at 1. But I have to...

No chance he wears the 7. Too early for Gould to be putting the line through any players so he is just biding his time by being non-committal as to who will get the chop.

This bloke looks the goods, great service, fast and good defense

Time to shed Stimson and Flanagan. and possibly Corey Allen

I'm a Wakeham fan and thought he was starting to play well, think some of the comments here are a bit rough, certainly a better prospect than Flanagan, thinking there must be a little more to this story.

The bloke has been deadset ordinary at best

you'd have to think he is being purchased as a 9

I don't mind Naden as a player, but I think we'd be best to give a new deal to Meaney and Okunbor and run a backline in 2022 something like 1. Averillo 2. Addo Carr 3. Cotric 4. Corey Allen 5. Okunbor 6. Burton 7. Flanagan with a focus on spending on a quality 9, prop and a rangy backrower.

1. Allen (despite the fact that he has been very underwhelming and lacked attacking involvement) 2. Meaney 3. Hopoate (due a good game) 4. Cotric 5. Katoa 6. Averillo 7. Flanagan 8. Napa 9. Wakeham 10. Hetherington 11. Elliott 12. Waddell 13. Atoni 14. Dietz 15. Ogden 16. Doorey 17. Britt

If this were to eventuate where does Averillo play? I think to save $ we could do without JAC and have Averillo at the back or alternately no Flanagan and Burton and Averillo in the halves? with JAC at the back. Think Burton is a must.

I got good word that Furner at the Dogs is a definite.

FROM FOXSPORTS ... LACHIE LEWIS IS NOT THE ANSWER As soon as Steve Georgallis took over the coaching reins at the Bulldogs he made a number of changes to the squad including dropping young half Brandon Wakeham and recalling Lachlan Lewis, whom former coach Dean Pay had axed earlier in the year...

In the NRL Daily Telegraph payment list Hetherington is reported to currently be on $400,000.

Probably would of won, because at least he had the brains to play Wakeham who would of had enough smarts to close out the game 20 minutes before the death.

I like Burton but I'd rather see him paired with Wakeham, Blake Green is the 7 for the second worst team in the comp and is at the end of his career, he offers very little going forward, I think any club in a rebuild phase that goes after him is very short sighted, and I also think he is highly...

Hi. Anybody got a link, a code, some means where I can purchase some tickets for this Saturday's game v the Dragons. Cheers

We have Averillo who has looked likely in the worst team in the competition, maybe Dean should give him a go at the back and see what he has got. An issue with Pay is he talks of young blokes getting a run and getting better each week and the need for some signings to bolster them, but the sad...

was solid, tough and played at pace, one positive that we can take from the game.

NRL.com

Wakeham and Foran with Averillo at the back and coax Brandon Smith from the Storm. DWZ and Reimis on the wings, fingers crossed Cotric and Hoppa in the centres. Try and lure back CHN to solve the edge backrower issue and a young Broncos prop for depth and we can probably fill in the rest of...

wakeham is a good young half. a bit more class around him and he has a hand in a few tries tonight. we lose our fullback and then we shuffle the spine to take out or first choice hooker as well. that alone makes the job hard for the halves. i thought cogger had a dig, but his play was very ad...

terrible idea

NO, NOT AT ALL, looks like Mary doing all he can to end the year with a win.

Mary has said he will likely leave Robson put and play Hunt at 9 with Norman due back

i've had a non dogs supporter mate text me as he has a mate at ladbrokes suggesting DWZ is out tonight? certainly hope not, though Morgan Harper is still in the mix as a reserve on extended bench. anybody hearing anything?

i agree he needs to add something to his arsenal in an attacking sense, his kicking game can also continue to improve, though certainly a keen defender.

Joey Manu dropped from Roosters 17 for today's game. Coincidence?

NO yanking the chain here folks but i have good mail that Sharks are actively shopping Dugan due to Shane Shenanigans signing him to a backended deal that sees Josh Dugan eat up 1 million of the sharks cap next year. I have no idea if the Dogs have expressed any interest, however am aware that...

Tualau was not showing enough signs to gain first grade selection and martin had been patchy, bringing up two young players with potential makes more sense for the future.

Money may have been a motivating factor, particularly for Martin who is a late bloomer.

fair go, blokes got a busted wrist, which would keep most folks off work let alone suiting up for NRL level football. clearly impacting and impeding him

Why would Grant be enticed to come if we snag Turpin?, seems he'd be less inclined

Clarkey pedals and rehashes rubbish he has read elsewhere, has never had an exclusive, full of himself. Dean Pay is no visionary, however he also has the worst roster in the NRL. His selections are at times mind boggling, however difficult to know if he is trying to establish a standard that...

you're kidding, JMK is actually starting to look like a first grade hooker.

can't believe Des cut Brian Kelly - he has really started to kick on at the Titans.

we should make a play for Jake Turpin - off contract at the Donkeys Not sure that we cant manufacture a front rower in house - Renouf has to be worth taking a chance on before deciding we need somebody else.

the thinking is that we need something at 9, whilst he is not a specialist 9 he has been used there in the past and proved quite tough and effective. If Tigers are willing to pay a large portion of his contract he might fill a spot short term or at least interchange with JMK with the added...

Is that happening? Jayden Sullivan on his way?

couple astute buys is all we need, a classy hooker and a strike centre or even reimis smith to the centres and a couple big fast wingers. some folks have written off RFM but he still has plenty to offer. still not sure where lewis fits in the whole equation, i'd play him at centre and see how...

Absolutely mate, forgot all about Chris Smith., big fan though, he has been great. edited my team now. cheers

1. Meaney 2. Okunbor 3. Hopoate 4. R Smith 5. Holland 6. Foran 7. Lewis 8. Tolman 9. JMK 10. Napa 11. Martin 12. CHN 13. Jackson 14. Ogden 15. Elliott 16. RFM 17. Smith/To'maga To accommodate Cogger would consider a backline of 1. Meaney, 2. Reimis Smith, 3. Lachlan Lewis, 4. Hopoate, 5...

from the Mole ... The Bulldogs are set to chase the man rated as the best forward in England: Luke Thompson. Desperate for more muscle up front, the Bulldogs have targeted Thompson, who at just 23 has already racked up more than 130 games for St Helens and four Tests for England. The young...

no chance he is on compassionate leave due to a death in his partners family, bloke is not going to leave $800 000 a year contract to play for peanuts.

thought the game plan of forwards running a bit wider suited tolman. he was great, particularly given Napa's absence

Danny F was very strong in the reserve grade fixture and RFM had a strong second half with some good carries.

Reynolds showed a lot of passion and love when playing at the dogs, however Foran is far more skillful and also looks like he is on the improve.

I thought Foran was one of our best

with JMK starting at 9, do you think that maybe Pay is considering Martin to join the top 17 and testing his versatility to sub in at 9 if JMK gets gassed? another option i see is reimis to the centres and kerrod holland to the wing and maybe if JMK runs out of puff in the last twenty, CHN could...

dragons forum abuzz with dogs having landed signatures of both robson and field.

1. Nick Meaney 2. Christian Chricton 3. Will Hopoate 4. Morgan Harper / Kerrod Holland 5. Reimis Smith 6. Keiran Foran 7. Lachlan Lewis 8. Dylan Napa 9. JMK 10. Suaso Sue 11. Corey Harawira Naera 12. Adam Elliott 13. Josh Jackson 14...

nice write up, but thought CHN had good energy and enthusiasm in his first dogs outing.
