News Jackson Topine - Bulldogs set to reward forward with new deal

[Grunthos]

Great stuff, a doggy through and through.

 

[ddt192]

Good on him, could never doubt his commitment and heart.
Anyone reckon we will keep Doorey?

Hope not tbh

 

[Rebuilding Phase]

So doorey is kept too?

 

[D- voice]

He can play hooker in an emergency situation but hopefully he's not required to. I think he should be on the bench but it will be interesting to see what Ciraldo does for a utility as if we have Topine and three other forwards, we don't have much cover for the backline or halves in case of injury..

Halfback will again be our major concern, for that reason I think Reynolds if fit or BBO might get selected ahead of him.

I don't think Reynolds will be anywhere near FG unless it's as a trainer. At least I hope not anyway..

If we've signed Nu Brown or Salmon as reported, then one of them might be a utility.

In all honesty we all are speculating, the situation will be clearer in November.

Or maybe not even until February. I hope Ciraldo runs the whole squad into the ground with fitness and strength training the whole preseason and creates a competition for spots throughout the whole squad where players get rewarded on performance and form, not reputation or salary.

The more i see how Doorey isn’t being mentioned of not having a contract, the more i feel he has been resigned which is, well. FUCK.

Unfortunately, he is a walking HIA every game and has been injury prone since making FG. I rate him when fit..

 

[CQDog]

Unfortunately, he is a walking HIA every game and has been injury prone since making FG. I rate him, and we should sign him for depth.

I guess he has been injury prone but when he does play, he has very minimal impact on a game. He shouldn’t be taking up a top 30 spot anymore and it’s why we should not give him another one.

The Bulldogs were the benchmark for fitness, once we lost that every thing else followed.
We must regain that attitude, otherwise not even signing the Australian team will make a difference.

I think what you meant to say was is Doorey can mow the grass.

Nah i know what i meant!

He was a rep player all through the grades from memory but has never really kicked on with all his injuries and concussions. I can see why the club might want o retain him for another year.

The squad shouldn’t see or touch the footy until February at the earliest

Run these unfit mofos into the ground

Hit the weights room

Sick of being the most unfit weakest team in the comp

 

[senshidog]

Topine I'd say is perfect for hooker, second row, or lock. At a pinch maybe even centres during game to cover an injury.

Possibly in a Reubenn Cotter style role.

Deceptively quick and with decent footwork at the line.

Most of his tries in NSW Cup this year have had some flair about them.

Would love to see him punch up the middle on tired forwards towards end of first half of a game.

Good list of young depth.. Did we end up getting the news on Makatoa after the GF injury?

I don't recall hearing or seeing anything about it.

But but but Utility position is taken = Joshy Reynolds









Jokes aside unsure if I see him as a starting edge player next year maybe '24 as @Bazildog suggested.

 

[Bulldog1966]

Topine should not be considered a hooker back up..
EVER.

Who plays hooker if Mahoney goes down mid game?

He isn't a proper hooker but can cover there,
He is probably more suited to lock / hooker a Victor Radley style
