Official Bulldogs sign Bronson Xerri for 2024 season on two-year deal despite doping ban

[rainman]

I wonder is he’s any good without all them roids.

I had my roids removed and I have never felt better

 

[Burgler]

4 Years is a long time in rugby league. Especially being removed from a club/training. It'll take him 12 months to get back into it after the 12 months he's still got to serve.
I don't know the full circumstances of the ban in regards to if he pleaded guilty to knowingly taking performance enhancers but anyone think 4 years is excessive? I think 2 years is long enough, then life ban if they fail a test again

 

[S.B.W_Jnr]

Maybe someone ask gus on twitter if he's considering him for 2024

 

[The DoggFather]

Train and trial

Let him prove he deserves it

I agree.

No harm, no foul.

Well taking roids is just about the worst thing you can do so 2 years is definitely not enough. An ACL injury puts you out for a whole season

 

[Ewan McGrady]

Never ever. That’s a no

 

[Interestingg]

Don’t think we really need him with who we have battling for a centre position

 

[stingray]

I don’t see the dogs taking him tbh with that history.

 

[Roger the alien]

Could he be converted to a backrower with his size now.

 

[Como Dog]

If the ability is there then worth a go at the right price. It will be interesting to see if he can still cut it though as look what a 2 year Mormon break did to a then 20 year old Will Hopoate .... he was never the same player in terms of fulfilling the talent he initially showed at Parramatta.

My other concern is that he'd probably be best served going to a club in another state and making a fresh start, in order to get away from the bad influence who has potentially ruined his career - know this first hand. Any decent manager should try and send him to the Storm or Cowboys.

 

[NPC83]

No. I’ll get behind Skelton to have locked down 1 centre position. The other will hopefully be Kiraz or Brandy Alamoti. There is also other options coming through the juniors.

 

[maroondog72]

Nope, looks as soft as fuck now and totally out of shape for rugby league.

 

[B-Train]

It'll be 4 years since he's played by the time he's eligible, and he'd need at least another 6 months to resemble a footy player again by playing Reserves. Who knows what he'd look like when he plays again..

 

[Bulldog1966]

Long time off but train and trial, I'd say though there will be some club willing to take a punt on him.Deserves another chance, 4 years is more than fair enough punishment and he likely has learnt a costly lesson.

NRL would have to approve registration of his contract.

 

[bradyk]

NRL would have to approve registration of his contract.

which they will do once he's served his ban

I think a lot of clubs will be after Xerri, I wouldn't be surprised if he got a top 30 deal straight away.

They will only approve it if roosters sign him for 50 dollar a game match payments.

Wasn’t it his brother / brothers mates?

 

[DinkumDog]

I’d have to say no, purely for taking selfies .

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

We should use that little cock fuck Flanagan as a “hey Xerri, sign here as your friend plays at Canterbury” then sign Xerri then whack Flanagan once it’s fuckin done. I mean sack Flanagan, sack.
