That’s the broncos throwing the GF

What like Josh Reynolds. That worked a treat.

Four vital points with Josh. Josh Reynolds was vital vs Saints & Cowboys

 

[Berries]

Josh was to be the spiritual leader in some capacity with his energy feeding the wider squad regardless of his standing… our biggest issue last year was injuries. But what would an actual Bulldog supporter know right??

Josh Reynolds started the rot. Worst thing the club has done ever

 

[billy beane]

Everyone thinks it’s going to auto Penrith spec in 4 years time. They got lucky with a great crop

Being able to build a team around Nathan Cleary has been a Godsend.

 

[LordSidious66]

Get that "mistake riddled, unlucky, nothing comes off right for this guy" vibe from Turpin. Hope it doesn't pan out like that 2024 tho.

Lucky for us, it's a short-term contract. So if he fails, we can get rid of him without fuss.

 

[RookieDog]

Who is IBS dog lol? I don't get the reference

I think it goes like this:

IBS = Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Salmon = weak gutted dog

Therefore Salmon = IBS dog

Ipso facto and all that … I think

We've had since November last year to recruit for 2024. A lot of these signings are desperation since there's nothing left now. There would of been other (better) options over the last year. We either weren't interested in them or missed out on them.

And 2025 looks the same (at this stage)

WOW.

No wonder they signed him. lol

 

[KLil]

They're shit players that nobody else wanted.

Who cares! At least they are NRL quality.

Its a step forward rather than backwards and that's all that matters.

Only thing that matters atm is creating a tough culture and win games whilst being competitive and the cracker signings will come.

 

[chemdog]

at the end of the day these signings are only for 2 years, hopefully by than our juniors from flegg and nsw cup will be ready to play first grade come 2025/2026

Just like Pele, Sutton, EQW, etc lmao

 

[King Gus]

They're dumb questions. We've had ample of time to sign the right players and failed to do so, turning around now and asking who I'd sign instead after all this is stupid. Replacing shit with different shit still leaves you with shit.

So many of you still don't get Gus' recruitment policy and it's like taking to a wall on here about it because you all are so desperate to try and portray every signing as some positive. Every year it's the same fucking nonsense with you lot.

Who was available that we didn’t go after?
Tino , Huss? You sit behind a screen and talk shit as usual.

 

[King Gus]

You forget one key part and that is, is the player wanting to come to us, we can offer every single player a contract and a substantial one at that and it doesn’t mean that they will sign up.

We are stuck with players who are willing to come and that’s it.

Don’t talk sense, Gus had the chance to buy every player in the NRL but didn’t want to.

 

[King Gus]

No we didn’t “miss out”. Realistically he was never available

We missed out cause he never left the warriors work that out lol.

Some of them might not even make it to the 2nd year of the deal. A 2 year deal for cheap veterans like these is really only a 1 year deal as the 2nd year we can move them on to another club or release them with minimal cap implications.

They're all short term, stop gap signings to try and give us depth and versatility until we sign some legit long term players.

I understand people wanting more and being underwhelmed but the reality is there wasn't much out there.

 

[dogzofwar]

Such a shit list. It's like putting anything into your cart to reach the minimum so you can get cash back.

The free shipping lol

 

[King Gus]

Relax we know you hate Reynolds but he was a club legend.
You might not admit it but just go see how belmore went off when he came on in the second half.

as it was seen this season our juniors coming through arent ready for first grade so this will give them another year to develop in nsw cup before being ready for first grade

I understand what you're saying BT but gee what a wing and a prayer mentality if that is our reality. Anywaaay.....

Be careful, mate. Don't spread facts on here. The whingers won't like it.
