How Bulldogs’ Ciraldo coup could trigger Panthers raid as $6m bidding war looms

[underdogsontop2246]

Get Brian To'o and Spencer Lenui for sure.

Liam Martin and Stephen Crichton are overrated.

 

[ILiveForDib]

To’o and JAC on the wings, top 2 wingers in the comp in Doggies colours doesn’t sound to bad.

Taking Crichton and to’o plus Burton and chuck in Ciraldo ( if he’s good ) Penrith fans will be absolutely fuming. Sort of the key concerns such as an adequate Vaughen replacement and impact bench foward before we look to splash money on luxury players. Need a halfback for 23 if we’re looking to compete with top sides and there’s questions around Averillo but there’s a player there just doesn’t seem to have the confidence time will tell. Certainly wouldn’t complain if we took To’o just to see Penrith fans sook.

Forgot to mention Crichton ain’t worth the alledged price tag overrated in some areas for me and most would excell in that Penrith side. Would be a risk signing him at such a high price his an athlete just not a 700k one.

[Freakzilla]

We don't need any of their players at the prices that they want.

JAC & Kiraz have 2 of the 4 Wing/Centre spots sewn up. Schoupp, Alamonti, Skelton, Casey, Toia & Samrani should battle it out for the other 2 spots.

Save the money & go all in on Joseph Manu or Cameron Munster for the fullback spot. I'd give either a million a season.

I'd take Jackson Hastings at halfback.

A spine of:

1. Manu/Munster
6. Burton
7. Hastings
9. Mahoney

Can win you a comp.

Martin? MASSIVE FKN LOL!

Speculations from the News Lies UnLtd.
The days of desperate signings are over now Gus is in control, he will sign needed players only at the right price, we will have $6 millions/25 players off contract but they fail to report that most will be retained unless of course for some strange reason they all flop.
I am predicting we will end up with one or two game breakers, who will it be ?

2 out of Munster, Haas and S. Crichton. If we want to contend for a premiership we need to be signing players of that calibre. We have a really good base now that should contend for the 8.

 

[piggy]

Crighton is a winger. Thats it. Not a centre, not a full back. Cost us a SOO. And it cost us a fortune tryin to turn DWZ from a winger into a fullback. It dont work. Dont rate Crighton. Inflated value cause he's surrounded by good players.

You must be joking that he is a winger...he is a centre who can play fullback....he is only 21 and would be a huge upgrade for the dogs

Schoups can piss off...Skelton will play centres

 

[CQDog]

Personally would go all in for Dylan Brown, definitely can make the transition to play 7. Mahoney might influence him coming over. Brilliant defender, passing game, running game. Kicking game needs work but Burton’s also needs work. Throw money at Tapine/Haas whoever wants less money. If this cap space we have is really huge then i can see this next off season being like last years with some more signings.

 

[Bulldogs09]

Agree 100% with the way it stands id be going to haas/tapine with a blank cheque and whoever we can get is the prop leader.

I’d do the same with Munster and if we missed him manu/latrell/sualii I’d go extremely hard at.

Ideally haas and Munster for 24. Yep probz cost us 2.3mil+ but with the 7.5 whatever space I’d build around that rather than pay Thompson 800k and Crichton 800k with flano and Allen eating 1mil. Replace them with kids!

Pack lead by haas tpj kikau rfm is excellent. We would have cap space to add decent players around still.

With a spine of Munster, burton and Mahoney we have an elite spine with one position to fill. Though those 3 with that pack with guys like fox kiraz locked in for 2 and alomiti skel coming through schoup and burns being serviceable for now we are built for success.

Fuck me. If i had a dollar for every time you have posted a different future team list, id be a rich man!!!

 

[D.O.W.]

We need a 1 or a 7 for 2023 and by 2024 we should have both in place (unless one of Avo or Flanno significantly improves). Munster or Moses would be awesome.

To compliment- we need some bangers, a prop or two in 2023 adding another in 2024 for depth.

 

[John Matrix]

Never thought I'd be envious of the Tigers with their halves options.

To'o would be my only pick from the panthers list.

 

[Stinger]

Our backline is in pretty good shape. We don’t need Crighton. Avo fb fox kiraz on wings alamoti skelter in centres allan burns shoppie for depth. Spend the money on a top rated prop or two and a halfback.

 

[Stinger]

Munster or Hastings and a mongrel of a prop. That’s all we need.

 

[maroondog72]

lol, The whole comp is shitting it's self about our cap position in 24 with Gus and Ciraldo running the show, I LOVE IT, Sleep with one eye open Brandy, The dogs are having a party!! Feels so good that all of theses fkrs are starting to fear us again, Thanks Gussy

 

[Cheng]

No to all of them

To'o would be nice, though a luxury, and not needed considering we are full in the outside backs

Munsterrrrrrrr

 

[Dogmonster]

To'o wont leave Luai's tit.
If they go anywhere else their boombox will be smashed the minute they play their crap.
