Bulldogs sign Corey Harawira-neara

Martin is better than RFM

Goalkicking aside how is he better? Martin is good but rfm is much harder to handle and has a great offload

 

[Dognacious]

Imagine a backrow of RFM , CHN and jackson. Wow. And then you would have elliot and martin coming off the bench.
Also interesting its a 4 year deal. Martin is only here for another year........

Martin insisted he only wanted a year to keep himself hungry to perform

 

[_G-Dog_]

I get him and james Fisher-Harris mixed up often, both Kiwi , both Pathers , both hyphenated

 

[Gubanaculum]

Martin has a footballers brain was once a 5/8 good all round game .....

@dogwhisperer on the ball on this one

 

[Dingo]

Some real competition for the back row.

 

[shannon2009]

This worries me that we are going to have too much cap tied up in the forwards again and won’t be able to keep Martin at the end of next year. He’s proven how valuable a 90% kicker is in the nrl.

Their stats are almost identical and Martin's GK makes him way more valuable than RFM.

 

[Dogna88]

Anything official yet???

RFM played during the shit half of the season, Martin played in the better half. That means something. Either way they're both completely different players and i want both in our side.

RFM is a far more dangerous ball runner and defensively he's superior also, as the stats will show you. People have short memories, RFM produced a tonne of critical 1 on 1's.

If Dutchy can kick at around the 80% mark consistently (which I think he's capable of), then I'm happy with Martin on the bench. RFM, JJ, CHN, Elliot are all superior back rowers.

Martin runs the lines a backrower should whereas rfm ran it once in rnd 1 and crabbed across field after that until his injury

 

[aymz maz]

If we sign seggy I rate our squad to be in the top 8 next season.

 

[Novocastrian]

Be good to land a quality centre now

 

[Kempsey Dog]

One of these players will have to miss out a spot in the 17 next season if CHN is here to play in ththe forwards.

I'd prefer CHN to be #14.
Can cover centre and in the case of an injury to our hooker... Jackson moves to 9 and we still aren't short in the back row. All we need for this to work is a decent 80min hooker... all I know is this won't work with Lichaa

 

[Dogzzz of War]

Yep, we’ve looked stronger after RFM got injured.

 

[Kempsey Dog]

Manu pls

That closed thread may be on the money lol

Yeah it means RFM was holding us back and Martin made us win :P

Elliott is better than Martin? What drugs are you on?

Stats can be misleading, rfm was having far more of an impact in general play. He was running harder and his footwork and offload was causing problems for teams.
