Personally I am not a season ticket holder this year, have been in the past. I attend games in a corporate capacity (don't ask).

I’m pretty sure Gus would’ve promised him a debut this season, especially since the whole reason he wanted out at the Broncos is because they didn’t give him top 30 as promised.

Yes exactly that. I’m not sure if KO would be prepared to bide his time in lower grades as development @ Dogs, given the hissie fit he threw at the Broncos over supposed 1st grade / top 30 promises there. After all we paid $500k+++ for him. However given his very young age, I would like to see him play firstly in Knock on Effect Cup (and kill it there) before he is given (handed) FG debut. Still puzzled why he did not get a run in the 2nd half against Sharks in trial.

The $500K was a transfer fee. He didn't get that. He's on $125000 a season.

Apparent 500k!! -Media
Like its been said multiple times that he had to train at least 6 weeks before he could play as per nrl rules.

Off topic but just wondered what level of season ticket holding you have? I’m guessing platinum? Interested to see what level some of the regular posters in here have?

I’m a gold member off Accor better value I reckon than dogs membership

No worries mate I knew you were connected like Lego. Just interested in what kind of membership everyone has.

I’m already registered for this year but I’ll check that out and keep it in mind for the future considering we’ll probably utilise Accor for a while yet. Cheers.

Oh ok thx didn’t realise this 6 week limitation. That explains it. Only noted announcement on club website on 27/1/23.
So 6 weeks after that would be around 10-11/3 earliest before we get to see him round 3 or so probs in nsw cup. Is that right?

New sleeve sponsor shh

 

[CQDog]

Damn so we still don’t have a 7 lol…

 

[Mitch Connor]

When the Dogs digital team add 'Halfback' to his profile his photo should revert to the Backs section.

Teams don’t run their own websites.

 

[InGusWeTrust]

Has he kicked a ball yet? Been seen training? Anything?!

 

[Hound Dog]

Damn so we still don’t have a 7 lol…

Thurston had a 6 on his back

 

[Bulldogs09]

Or Maloney Jennings and SBW back in 2013. They literally went from bottom dwellers in 2012 to Premiers in one season.

O’Donnell too

 

[Kempsey Dog]

Or signing Maloney, Jennings and SBW in one off season. They went from bottom 4 in 2012 to Premiers in 2013

You forgot Luke O'Donnell and Sam Moa

 

[GoTheDoggies]

Think the days of us paying overs or throwing away money is gone. As you say we desperately need a HB and as an example it would appear the club didnt make Moses an offer he couldnt refuse. If you set aside Gus in the media, I beleive he is a very smart, shrewd, exeperienced operator when it comes to doing business.

I dont get the political part about Flano.

Gus is willing to play the long game, he won't go for desperation huge money signings like the previous clowns in charge.
