Bulldogs close in on ambitious triple swoop as fresh Suaalii link emerges: Jimmy Brings

[2144superman]

The Bulldogs are closing in on an ambitious triple swoop that would hand incoming coach Trent Barrett some significant attacking firepower.


Bulldogs are closing in on landing the key signatures of Melbourne’s grand final winger Josh Addo-Carr, Sydney Roosters halfback Kyle Flanagan and Penrith’s Matt Burton.

And grand finalists the Melbourne Storm are looking at Bulldogs winger Reimis Smith as a possible replacement for State of Origin winger Addo-Carr.

While the Wests Tigers initially looked in the box seat to secure Addo-Carr for next season, the Bulldogs have now emerged as the most likely home for the NSW and Australian winger.

The Bulldogs will ramp up their pursuit of Burton as of November 1 when they can officially get the Panthers young gun to sign a contract for 2022.

Then it will be up to the Panthers whether they decide to release the Dubbo product one year early.

The Flanagan deal is expected to get rubber-stamped in the next 24 hours. Add Addo-Carr and Burton and all of a sudden the roster goes from below average to a decent side.

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.

 

[Mitch Connor]

James Hooper. Don’t get too excited.

 

[Jarrad El Hickey]

Wow this would be massive praying it happens

 

[TABOO]

Huge

 

[ddt192]

If we land these 3 ON TOP OF Cotric and Thompson that would be some exceptional fucking recruitment.

 

[2144superman]

LOLLLL membership numbers on the verge of skyrocketing

James Hooper. Don’t get too excited.

Id hope jac wing and averillo fb

 

[gibbo2]

I still think we should make a play for
Benji for next year as Burton won’t be released early . But these signings are exciting .

 

[jordansaba]

don’t forget we’ve also signed hethrington, we’re looking the goods if these deals get done

 

[2144superman]

Penrith won't release Burton out of spite .. They'll rather have him playing reggies then playing first grade tearing up at the Bulldogs considering he's probably on jack all $$ at Penrith atm

 

[vegny]

Dont like the reimis part but if we get those 3, the team is looking so much sexier. With or without a hooker

 

[GrogDog]

Refuse to believe it until it's DONE!

 

[oldpuppy]

Averillo to me is a keeper by any means. I'd like to see him roam in the backline as a benchie. If we sign these rumored players we then might have the luxury of carrying Averillo in a similar way bellamy used papenhausen until he was absolutely ready for a run on gig.

I want to believe it, but receiving a member's email about these 3 would be assuring.

 

[Turvey Chip and Chase]

We get JAC and I don’t care what Remis does. He can be lazy.
I’d look to F off DWZ also. Okunbor has much more upside.

AVERILLO
JAC
HOPPA
COTRIC
OKUNBOR
BURTON
FLANAGAN

We REALLY need to be targeting a 9. though...

Yeah, way too much rumors and "inside info" to believe it until there either wearing our jersey or the club has announced it.
