do we take a shot at naden, and see if schoupp is ready next year, and keep cotric on wing, makes cheap centres leaving money for front row and 9, or money to take shot at paps/Grant, thoughts?

Yup he’s worth a shot. Linking up with TBAZ again who will get the best out of him if this happened.

I don’t think we need to go big on the fowards, I reckon we just need Afoa?

I really don’t understand how a players pay comes into it. You pick your best 17 each week, regardless of salary. Andrew Fifita for example is rumored to be on $800k and he is in reserves. Same with the $1M Milford
You're joking right?
It doesn't matter how much you're paying a player!!
What bollocks.....if you are paying big bucks any club needs to get value from that player.
Jackson is the club captain and will be in the starting 13 whenever fully fit in 2021, 2022 & 2023 any suggestion to the contrary is naive.

Not joking at all. Going by your logic just because we are paying Napa $600k per season he is entitled to be starting ahead of all other forwards? You pick your best 17.. not based on pay cheque

Why is Napa constantly selected then.....Napa is absolute shit, a useless pustule. Yet who are our starting props this weekend again?

Also Jackson is not Napa.

And the two examples you are quoting is being done to force those guys out early if possible.

It does happen like Greg Eastwood with us. He finished this career in reserve grade but it's very unusual.

The forwards aren’t good enough. We need a big build.

Best backine in the world plays off the go forward created by the forwards. The D starts in the middle.

Take a look at Rodzllla’s you tube ‘How the Bulldogs used to conduct Business’.

All about forwards - intimidation and dishing out pain in D and urgent ferocity in go forward.
When our backs get the ball we want the opposition in pain and on the back foot blowing air trying to get back quick enough.

Ok let’s say we put haas in for hethrington, move him to the bench and put atoni into the reserves

It's all well and good having good centres and outside backs, but I have absolutely no trust at all in Flannagan's ability to get it to them when they need it, he's shown no signs of having any idea. Burton I do have trust in, he actually looks like a modern footballer, hopefully Burton plays both sides next year....

unfortunately papenhausen doesn't play for us, I doubt he will leave the storm, they will want to keep him and he will want to stay
