Can’t keep a proud club like the Bulldogs down for too long… we’re on the up in a big way.

Even the Kikau signing, people look at it and say it’s a lot of money for an edge back-rower, but a few points:
- he’ll likely take JJs salary with JJ dropping in value in his twilight years
- unproven rookies are now getting paid 500k
- 800k in 2-3 years time will likely be the equivalent of 400k - I can see the cap increasing as well as player salaries.

I've just been inspired to watch Ogre v Gibbs again on repeat. Surely there's better quality vid our there?

Keeping the gun players and keeping within the cap is the biggest challenge...
I'm sure Gus and the board will have it already nutted out though.

Gotta say the Addo carr signing started all of this give the man some credit
Credit where it is due it is all John Khoury. Perfect in every appointment thus far and is shaping the club.
It's not one person tbh.

Players like Barrett, Gould is an icon, Khoury has proven he's elite, Warburton keeps kicking goals, JAC is JAC.
