Bulldogs to announce Klemmer, Jackson, Mbye re-signings: what it means for Canterbury

[BELMORE]

Tony Williams will not be retained beyond this season.As for Rona,Well he is only on $80,000 so expected his contract to be upgraded and he will remain at the dogs for his next contract BUT don't be surprised if he moved to Union after that .

Is he deadset on 80k? geez.. what a bargain. I think he started in union before moving to league, right?

Bulldogs to announce Klemmer, Jackson, Mbye re-signings: what it means for Ca...

Yeah rona isn't on much but he will command no less than $250k next contract I presume.As for him playing Union again is probably his dream to represent the all blacks at some stage of his career.Hope it's after he has helped us win a few titles then cya later lol.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Do you not think that Tolman can play a Gallen type role at lock? Also gives Klemmer the extra minutes he has been craving.

Nope, wouldn't play him there. Adds nothing in attack other than his standard consistent hitups. Defensively he would be fine, but id rather play a lock with a lil more pace and attacking flair.

Lane is 21 mate. 22 in november

Is that you lane?

 

[Lov_Dog]

Still not announced on the website.
Can you offer any insight too69u ?

[Dingo]

But we will be better team with him at lock. His workrate, fitness, defence, accelertion and power make him perfectly suited for lock. Will also give our props an extra rotation.

I agree that Jackson will be a brilliant lock

Not the way locks play these days. They are like another front rower.

I like u too69u but Rona is not on base pay at the dogs. I believe he is on around 120-150k a year. There is no way he'd be on 80k. The Cowboys offered him 100 or so to stay but we outbid them and stole him from them.

 

[finchie]

I hope Eastwood stays for another year with us
he is an asset to our team

Playing the middle third doesn't make lock another frontrower

We are about to see another evolution in how coaches play forward packs, Locks will almost definitely shift to being 80 minute athletic forwards

Piss sherex and Lloyd perret off ASAP even this year if possible
lane and Rona will stay
im 50/50 regarding Eastwood as he does want to go home to nzld in the future

Eastwood loves the dogs and would want to stay. Alot of people think he would like to go home to NZ, but he actually doesn't. If he'd go anywhere it would be back to the Gold Coast. Both him and his missus have family and friends there. Heard it straight from the horses mouth. I honestly could not see him leaving us for the titans. And clearly the club holds him in high regard as he captained in the 9s.

Out of those 4 I honestly think we'll keep Rona and beast. T-Rex is as good as gone. As for Lane, I think a club will come in with a big money offer and he'll leave.

Back to the future then.

 

[cookieman909]

Rona and Lane need to be kept, trex and beast can move on if we have too.

Beast needs to be kept. Massively under rated. Consistently one of our best forwards week in week out!

Exactly

What makes you so sure?

Actually he is massively overrated on here. Not saying his crap, but he isn't as great as some people make him out to be.

Not the way locks play these days. They are like another front rower.

Some teams just use the lock as a 3rd prop like us, others don't. But it is pretty clear that wont work anymore and teams will need to carry a genuine lock.
