Slipped straight in like a sideline conversation from Martin

And that’s something we’d all like to see more of

 

[Bull Terrier]

Nailed it.........so to speak

Mate so good this about lewis, happy to see this club build a team of young, keen players who hopefully will love our jersey. Get some pride back in our club again. No doubt jj and klemmer will lead the way.

 

[Barba's Barber]

Yes!!!! So happy with this news!!!

Just hope all the rumours flying around about klem are just that if we lose him it will be a massive kick in the guts

 

[TOTTO]

Finally good news.

I would hope he and jj are on top of the clubs list to keep players. Happy with what the management has done so far have made some big decisions .

There’s another thread going about the dogs being approached by Newcastle about klem all these rumours about his TPA’s not being paid are making me nervous

I am not going to believe this one as i feel we have lost the players we wanted to lose. Surely we must have some money now.

Yeah you would hope so but Newcastle are pretty cashed up

I don't think the size part is an issue, he has a big frame and looks like he could add some more size to it without much trouble. I honestly see him as a ball playing lock moving forward.

Absolutely ...5/8 or ball playing back rower as he naturally bulks with age.... Not fleet footed or pacey enough for centre. He strongest attribute is courage. I hope he can develop the skills to go with it.

I doubt he will go. I heard on nrl 360 about the rumour. They need him there to build a new team of young players around him and jj.

Just responded in the other post....NRL360.
He ain't going anywhere.

 

[doggieaaron]

And good on the kid for showing some loyalty i hope he turns into a gun so i can stick it up moey [emoji23]

 

[iDoggiesFan]

It Could be...
Option 1.........Option 2
1 Meaney.......Hopoate
2 Crichton......Crichton
3 Lewis..........Lewis
4 Hopoate......JMK
5 Smith..........Smith
6 Foran..........Foran
7 Coggar........Coggar

Not a chance Lewis plays centre. I honestly can’t see Foran playing in a dogs jersey again and I think our spine will look like so:

1. Meaney
6. Lewis
7. Cogger
9. Lichaa / JMK

Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs have re-signed promising playmaker Lachlan Lewis, with the youngster locked in at Belmore for a further two years.


The nephew of Maroons great Wally Lewis, 21-year-old Lachlan has recently shifted into the first grade side.

Lewis made his top flight debut in round 16, and has played the last three games for Dean Pay's NRL side, all at five-eighth alongside halfback Jeremy Marshall-King.

Star signing , opening the door for Lewis to taste NRL level football.

However, should Foran be fit to play in 2019, it will be a logjam for the other starting halves position, with Lewis, Marshall-King and Jack Cogger all eyeing off the second halves spot alongside the former New Zealand international.



Regardless, Bulldogs chief executive Andrew Hill was buoyed by the news Lewis will remain at the club for two more years.

"Despite being only 21 years of age, Lachie has shown that he has the desire and ability to be a big part of our club going forward," Hill said in a club statement.

"He has transitioned well into our NRL squad in recent weeks and his signing is a positive sign for what lies ahead for the club, as well as another important stage of our recruitment process for next season."

The 4-13 Bulldogs will take on last-placed Parramatta at ANZ Stadium on Thursday night.

Lewis and Marshall-King have retained their starting spots in the halves.

Omg you are the one keeping the rumour alive

 

[Vlasnik]

This is about Lachland Lewis making his debut against Newcastle but it also give you a good insight into the Lewis Family and how much Lachy's success means to them He is ours boys, the Duke / Prince is ours

Yep I agree

My understanding is your top 25 players now have a minimum salary of $100k. Because he is a spine player maybe $150 is pretty close to the mark.

2018 Min. Top 30 fee of $100,000 for players 1-26 in 2018 increasing at $5,000 p.a until 2022
2018 $70,000 for players 27-30 in 2018 increasing at $2,500 p.a until 2022
