Any chance we can get Frank out of retirement? He'd still be better than Waddell.

He shits on Napa, and at probably 3/4 the price too. Good on him, he has at least had a go thus season, unlike some others in the squad.

That’s a top post from a genuine human being and professional footballer, much respect to Ava, he’s earned his contract and that attitude has shown his leadership credentials.

I'll be happy to hear he's extended for a couple more years. I wasn't sure what to expect from him when he was signed. But hearing that he'd sacrificed some money to come back to Aus and sign with us made me hopeful that he'd win a spot in our side. And I think he's been a worthy signing. Not a game breaker, but more than pulls his weight for us. His statement about the Manly loss was also very well said.

Says a lot about our roster when the player signed on the least money puts in the most.
The signing of Napa just stalled our progress. Bench player at best but I don't blame Napa for taking the money. It was the Board/Coach who made a rash decision to sign him.
We really need to be like Melbourne and sign players with these characteristics, make them earn their jumper

If we have say some middles in the starting lineup punching holes like tpj/thompson/rfm guys like a ava and hetherington coming off the bench will make us so much better

Curious that hey
One day this 9 year chapter, beginning with Des, of the disintegration of our club, should be documented for all to evaluate with a forensic, detailed investigation into every Boards culpability and transparency of their decisons that brought us to our knees.

Bulldogs reward ‘immense influence on team’
Ava Seumanufagai would have been wearing a different kind of blue had Canterbury not offered him a lifeline earlier this year. The 30-year-old prop was on the verge of quitting professional rugby league to join the police force.
Instead he gave it one last crack. Now Seumanufagai has been rewarded with a two-year contract extension and promoted to Canterbury’s leadership team.
Not bad for someone who was unsure if there was a place for him back in the NRL when he returned from the Super League with no contract at the end of last season.
“I always thought I had a few years left but I just needed an opportunity,” Seumanufagai said.
“If you told me at the start of February that I would already have a two-year deal I thought that would’ve been a long shot.
“At the start of my career and the first couple of years, I took being able to play NRL for granted. Having a stint away and having a stint being unemployed, I take nothing for granted. I might be tired or sore but I count my lucky stars when I wake up and I am so grateful. I have been on the other side and I know what it’s like.”
Seumanufagai’s club debut in round seven against Cronulla reduced coach Trent Barrett to tears. Bulldogs boss Aaron Warburton said Seumanufagai’s impact at the club was immense.
“He has impressed a lot of people,” Warburton said. “Everything he does is for the betterment of the team. It’s on and off the field.
“He has an ability to lift the room.”
