Bulldogs Player Movements | Re-Signings | Rumour Mill | 2014 Edition

To force the Broncos hand like they forced ours with barba

 

[Izzy Forreal]

In 2 years time almost every club will want him, I hope he truly loves the Bulldogs - would hurt if he decided to head back home and Brisbane snap him up >_<

Playing in a top four side and winning the premiership would create plenty of love and harmony :beerchug:

Some people are going to be very upset with Mbye if he is not a star from his first day in the NRL.

He could score 5 tries, set up 5 and it still wouldn't be good enough for some of our fans mate haha

I still think he needs at least half a season before we can judge him.

 

[immortalbulldog]

I do agree 100% with what you say - but one has to wonder why our club is playing this whole Hoffman thing out in the open???

It makes it harder for the broncos to constantly deny there is a problem

 

[Papa Joe]

A "Champion Team" should always beat a "Team Of Champions" (and a happy team with no Barba can achieve a lot). This means you may not always have the best current players in each position, but if you've got the highest best average, then we should still go alright (just like the money ball system). Granted, I would love us to have either the best 1,6,7 or 9 in the game because when we did, we came within a whisker of the title in 2012. That said, you cant buy something/someone that isn't available and paying overs for someone that isn't in that league could leave you with long term issues. We are only missing one key player from our 2012 GF team. The others are Klemmer in for Payne, T-Rex in for Stagg & Lafai in for Wright & I think here we are actually better off if T-Rex can do what we were excited about from his Manly form. I still think Des has got a steady as it goes plan for Templeman to harden him up for the first half of the season in reserve grade and then bring him in later. By playing him at 6 in the reserves, it should sharpen his skills which are now required by all good first grade fullbacks.

I agree, we should sign players for their on base percentage and runs batted in

 

[Mr Invisible]

That Brad Clarke bloke we picked up is a rather sizable guy indeed!

[finchie]

Where did we sign him from mr i?

 

[Mr Invisible]

Umm I'm not sure. I think someone on here mentioned Dragons junior.

 

[richie]

Tom Murphy - Redcliffe Dolphins -2015

needs to be changed to 2014, he only signed on for the 1 year

 

[Ayrifik]

Why don't dogs go after hiku or Mansour for fullback. They're both young, good strong players with great futures

Mansour is tied up long term I'm pretty sure, but wouldn't mind George or Robert Jennings or even their nsw cup fullback who would probably be their fullback if not for mat moylan

 

[Ayrifik]

Hiku wants to play flb at manly but Stewart is there so let's try and steal him. His a good player

Good call. It can't be that hard to find a tall athletic nrl player.
Someone mentioned fisiahi earlier too.

I was hoping Tyrone Phillips would be that type of player but he is relegated to nsw cup and brown and Perret are automatic selections. I don't get it.

 

[Ayrifik]

I would've thought Philips would be number 1 choice for flb

 

[Ayrifik]

I don't rate Perrit as a flb, I don't rate Mitch brown either at all. I still can't believe we let Goodwin go for brown.

 

[Ayrifik]

Every team has an x-factor bar dogs .

 

[Ayrifik]

I'd put lafai at fullback before anyone else that we currently have
