Bott's Back In Business

Speedster Leon Bott signed a two-year deal with the Bulldogs last monday and will make his long-awaited return to football in coming weeks. Out since last season with a major shoulder injury, the former Broncos and Sharks winger has been showing sizzling pace at training and is expected to soon push for a top-grade spot at Belmore.

Is there anyone here that is thinking the same thing as me? Not another 4 ft nothing winger!!!

 

[jimmy_the_greek]

i think he will make a great buy, does this mean we wont re-sign utai though?

 

[Özil]

hes great but his defence is very questionable...

yeah but he is a speedstar....when he was in brisbane i think he was close 2 the fastest player in the NRL.

It doesn't matter how tall he is. He has proven that he can play in the top grade. Scored a lot of tries and showed a lot of pace. But his defence I can't comment on because I've never really seen him be tested.

I am sure that now he is at the Dogs he will be amongst the slowest

 

[Fanoftheyears]

Great news hopefully he gets to his best and hopefully even better

Are you kidding me. Anyone with a kicking game will have him in trouble. Hazem can jump which makes up for a little bit. Bott hasn't got much of a leap from what IU can remember.

Lets not forget that he failed to crack 1st grade with the sharks LOL

 

[Haztrick]

He got injured in his first game at the Sharks! He was gone for the season. As soon as they signed him he was in FG that week (they signed him mid-season) then he did his ankle.
