Bulldogs to miss out on key signing target Herman Ese'ese, two priorities remain

[AlzzBulldog]

Not surprised, in fact The surprise will happen if we get any players we are after..!!

He probably found out that pay is coaching next season so he bailed lol

 

[TABOO]

Im less concerned about missing Herman (Although I wouldnt mind having him back at the right price) than I am of Ramien and Api raising their prices.
We must not be taken for a ride and absolutely must not be paying big overs or extended contracts...

 

[Bull Terrier]

Another rumour. They will get one right eventually.

Oh, how original

 

[Como Dog]

Am I the only one that doesn't rate Ese'ese?

And WTH!!?? We're prioritising a Hooker and Centre signing above a Prop forward!!!??? Something mustn't be right!

I agree that a hooker is one of the biggest priorities. We need a quality spine.

Sorry was late on the humour.

Haha all good lol

 

[David holland]

Hes ok but i wouldnt be breaking the bank to get him in.

Herman isn't worth 500k

 

[sgodllubsti]

Ramien and Koroisau have both increased their asking price, that alone is reason enough to pull out of negotiations, ramien was booted from his current club, koroisau is about to become clubless both think they are valued more because they are needed, incorrect neither are worth overs

That's how market prices work, supply and demand.

 

[Gabe]

We don't need him, Ogden, Renuf, Faualo and RFM as a middle are all better.

Hermin would be dud signing like Napa

 

[The DoggFather]

Didn't @finchie say 2 of the 3 are done deals already?

Looking like he is on the money...

I’d be happy with Ramien and api

 

[bradyk]

Ese'ese would be my 3rd signing out of them 3. Koroisau (was Turpin, rip) and Ramien best options available atm for their positions. Ese'ese is a bench Prop so I'm pretty confident we could get someone around the same ability anyways.

 

[flamebouyant]

Meh. Sure we need some good forwards but for some reason he doesn't seem like a player I'd pay overs for.

What we really need is one really fucking good forward. We shouldn't bother to even look at buying another forward until we sign a guy like David fafita!!!

 

[Wahesh]

What we really need is one really fucing good forward. We shouldn't bother to even look at buying another forward until we sign a guy like David fafita!!!

Would mind Josh Papalii TBH.

 

[flamebouyant]

Would mind Josh Papalii TBH.

I think he recently resigned. In any case fafita is going to be one of the best forwards in the game for many years to come!!

I really doubt the media knows what's going on with the negotiation process. We seem to be back in a position where the club is a closed book until they get a signature these days. Under the Dib regime negotiations were more likely to leak to the media.

Would have really liked Herman as he provides that balance of interchange in the middle third. For example;
14. JMK
15. Elliot (backrow)
16. Ese'Ese (middle third cover)
17. * any other fit big bopper

14. JMK
15. Ese'ese (now another Prop)
16. Napa
17. Elliott

is what I think it'll be for 2021, for 2020 Napa probably still starting and Smith/Sue/Toomaga on the bench
