[Vlasnik]

trent cutler - may retire
brett lane - but i think he has 1 year left
chad isles
ray moujalli - maybe going back to jets
jake finn - maybe going back to knights not sure about jake
josh gill - local junior staying put
ratu tagive
daniel abou-sleimann
junior roq
steve azzi
kose leli - needs to trial for spot
dean mccglinchey - back to manly
josh portlock

 

[Cat & Mouse]

Haven't seen much of Brown in firsts with us (if any). I've always assumed the coaching staff have plans for him in first grade but weird that haven't seen him. I'm guessing injuries?

Did his knee in first or second game with us in NSW cup

 

[SoulCrusher]

I hope mitch brown enjoys never playing first-grade.

 

[Cat & Mouse]

I hope mitch brown enjoys never playing first-grade.

I hope SoulCrusher enjoys never having sex.

Sorry, I meant to say 'I disagree'.

haha might have seen it and just not taking any notice because it doesnt really change anything haha

was going ok until got injured

 

[TrickmA]

yea about a week old mate, i think he announced it on twitter

More like a month old?

 

[captain dropbut]

brown is good for diversity in the back line reckon he would be behind lafai but in front of low so far

 

[MAD DOG]

foxsports saying goodwin to souths. is this old news?

i presume he will be a back up player there, i find it hard for Bryson to cement a first grade spot there unless there is injuries

 

[jake6]

Don't know if its posted anywhere else , but Steve turner could be off to the warriors

 

[jake6]

Also josh Reynolds apparently on the verge of re-signing a 3 year deal , he did just buy a house in belmore

 

[El_Magic]

I don't think Turner is going anywhere. Reynolds also just bought a brand new jeep.

 

[Mr Invisible]

That was a rumour started by zerotackle.com.au.

He's our #1 choice for winger next year alongside Perrett.

Infact he's starting preseason training with the Bulldogs this coming week!

 

[Bry]

I heard something about Turner signing with the Warriors a few days ago too. He was adamant it was legit.

Telegraph actually

 

[cookieman909]

Nah then it came out Turner is not going anywhere. Starts pre season tomorrow with the boys. Going to be an interesting year in regards to signings this year. Off the top of my head Reynolds, Eastwood, Pritchard, Hodkinson, Tolman all off contract. All require re-signing IMO. Although hearing titans are keen on Hodkinson. Turner and Halatau only signed 1 year deals. Hala IMO will retire. Dogs will offer turner a media position. Think we will sign a decent winger and gun halfback. Thurston I think will come home. Now that prince signed with Brisbane if rules them out. Get Thurston here, win a comp, get young Mbye to live in his back pocket and take over as halfback when Thurston retires.

http://www.zerotackle.com/nrl/warriors-keen-steve-turner-8090/ which has quoted the article from who else but Rothfield.
http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sp...d-whats-the-buzz/story-e6freye0-1226509774745

Ergo, take it with a grain of salt.

That Zerotackle link has a comment someone has quoted from Turner saying he's happy with the club ...

Ahh here it is:
http://www.bulldogs.com.au/news-display/Steve-Turner-Signs-One-Year-Extension/58966

He's signed with us for 2013 season on a one year contract.

=================

Lafai, Low or Sila will no doubt replace Turner if/when he retires.

Re Thurston, it's a dream that will never happen. We made the finals this year without him, and it shows that we don't need to blow our salaray cap to pieces (because he wouldn't come cheap) to get to the grand final.
