News 'I'm the Godfather!': Rajab hopes to make the Bulldogs an offer they can't refuse after breakout World Cup campaign

[Freakzilla]

I'm not death riding him. I haven't seen him play. But Wakeham also earned glowing reviews in a world cup campaign. It's a far different standard/level of difficulty to the weekly rigours of the NRL.

I wish him well, but I also hope the fans on here temper their expectations. I've seen a few decent players cop a tonne of criticism from fans here because they thought they'd become superstars.

I mean even Burton still has a lot of critics for a guy who's won a premiership (playing out of position) & played origin within a year of his debut. Rajab may not meet the lofty expectations.

Burton is a better centre than a 6.

Burton is a better centre than a 6...

...at the moment (maybe).

I've always wanted a pair of his Jordan 5's but they've all got "We the best" slapped on the back of them and I can't bring myself to wear that

I rate this kid.He is part of our future and has been very very good over the last few seasons.Orefer not to sign mosses ,too much coin and not a big game winner .def not a million dollar player-good player though.

Many think that Moses is the missing link between our last few seasons failures to winning the next Grand final.
He ain't a bad a player on his day but spending way over a million? Welll that's got to be reserved for a halfback that's a shoe in in rep teams that are stacked with competition or one that's been instrumental in guiding a premiership team. ie Cooper Cronk in his day.

You would have to assume that if we aren't signing Moses for 2024, that Rajab is a great chance for the job. The world cup gave him exposure, now it's up to him to train hard, learn and play well in reggies and when the opportunity presents itself in the top grade, to seize it . . . Best of luck young fella

Where going to invest in a side and have a inexperienced player cheer our ship

Very best of luck to him. Sounds like he was very impressed with Cheika.

Of course he firstly needs to have the talent, but we need to start trying to build our team around some of our juniors coming through, who are “Bulldog tragics” and dream and bleed Blue and White. While there is no guarantee, it looks like Rajab is coming on nicely and will likely debut later in the season.
While Mitchell Moses might be a potential “instant HB fix” (but at what $ price?), I think guys like Rajab will offer better longer term value. Good luck to him.

Where, what ? Oh we're. Don't blame me, I'm not the player market.

He speaks well and seems to be pretty mature for a young kid. I'm sure he'll get an opportunity at some stage.. What I like about his game is that he runs deep into the line and engages defenders before passing and he looks composed whenever he plays..

Agree with that .Similar Foran in that way.

English translation:
We're going to invest in a side and have an inexperienced player steer our ship
I actually have NFI what Dave is trying to say even with the English version

Love the way he plays at the line. You gotta have balls to play like that against grown men. I’ll be happy with just some consistent performances next year in cup. Don’t rush him just let him play some footy.

Did you know he is Lebanese ?

 

[The DoggFather]

Is he a DJ or is there a DJ with that name ?

There's some fat fuck who is the flavour of the month who does nothing but scream "DJ Khalid" on other people's songs

 

[The DoggFather]

Burton is a better centre than a 6.

Currently, yes.

 

[Freakzilla]

Currently, yes.

I can't predict the future so yes I was talking about currently

I'm agreeing with you that he performs better there but I have no doubt he will be an elite 5/8th in a year or 2.

No doubt? I have some doubt. Hopefully he becomes the best 6 in the game though.

Ahh, I thought it might be some bloke who plays bad music, the s out he is a bad singer. Cheers bro

 

[InGusWeTrust]

I like the cut of the kid’s jib. Seems to have a good head on his shoulders and puts in the work. How good to grow up being a doggies fan and getting the chance to play for th‘‘em down the track.

 

[T-Rocket]

Rajab looks promising. Love the way he takes it to the line and draws defenders in. Hoping he can continue to develop and become the halfback we’ve been after
