Always a Bulldog

If you had the option to play for a club which came 2nd last and then the spoon I consecutive years - or play for a club which contested 2/3 previous grand finals for similiar pay - I think the decision is obvious.Yep fair point mate.
But as I said, we didn’t let him go. We made him an offer but he chose to go to the storm
True. But the question is when Paps is back, where does Meaney fit in? The decision is not that obvious when it’s a matter of playing regular NRL or QLD cupIf you had the option to play for a club which came 2nd last and then the spoon I consecutive years - or play for a club which contested 2/3 previous grand finals for similiar pay - I think the decision is obvious.
Cant have gun players everywhere. I’d rather spend the money on forwards and a half.Who?
We havent got a centre who has played a full season at centre do we let alone a proven one

SLOW-A-MOTIDon't you think there has to be some concerns over Alamoti's acceleration and top speed? He obviously has skills but i don't think i've seen a good centre that is so slow. Even someone like Penisini has a similar body shape but he would leave ala for dead across the turf.
Agreed.If you had the option to play for a club which came 2nd last and then the spoon I consecutive years - or play for a club which contested 2/3 previous grand finals for similiar pay - I think the decision is obvious.
I still reckon that photo Gus posted was Averillo signingAverillo verbally agreed to terms with us for a two year extension a couple of weeks ago.
This would be a backflip. The club will not be happy if he met with Wayne, that's for sure.
No reason we should be letting great young talents like Avo go when we are paying overs to sign luxury players like Kikau and Crichton who don’t even address our biggest areas of concern. Ciraldope is fucking cooked… and so is the club, tbh.Something tells me we’re going to regret this. Can’t keep ‘em all but unfortunately.
Understands, appears, likely, maybe, dog shit article as usual from these vile journos. He’s going nowhere, bulldog for lifeJAKE AVERILLO AND PAUL ALAMOTI EYE MOVES TO DOLPHINS, COWBOYS

Both starting centres for the Bulldogs are on the market, Michael Carayannis and Brent Read reveal their likely destinations for 2024.
The Dolphins are closing in on the signature of Bulldogs flyer Jake Averillo.
Sport Con understands that Averillo met key Dolphin figures including coach Wayne Bennett last week and the fledgling club has offered the speedster a three-year deal worth in excess of $1.2 million.
Averillo and Bulldogs centre partner Paul Alamoti are both off contract at the end of the season and up for grabs.
Canterbury are fighting hard to keep them both but they appear to be fighting a losing cause where Averillo is concerned while the Bulldogs have signed Bronson Xerri and Stephen Crichton for next season. .
Alamoti also has a decision to make. He has already spoken to North Queensland coach Todd Payten as he weighs up his future at Belmore.
Averillo appears the more likely to depart after talks with the Dolphins. The Dolphins have already signed Brisbane centre Herbie Farnsworth for next season but they badly need more speed in their outside backs and Averillo would give them a strike weapon on the other side of the field.
His departure would no doubt incite a mixed response from Bulldogs fans. Like Alamoti, he is a local junior who played for the Bankstown Sports/Moorebank Rams club.
He has played more than 65 games for the Bulldogs and scored 26 tries. This year, having found a home in the centres, he has crossed for seven tries in 14 appearances in a Bulldogs side that has struggled to cross the stripe.
At 22, he has his best years in front of him. They may be at the Dolphins.
Dolphins veteran centre Brenko Lee has been linked with a Super League move.
Point taken.Agreed.
But so many people say the decision will come back to haunt us. That’s wrong.
It was his decision. Not ours
