News Management could bite Bulldogs

Buy big on spine players and surround the rest with quality minimum wage players and juniors.

Most players are being paid what they are worth.
That means if they improve, or prove worth keeping, then they get a pay rise.
It appears that there wont be many that will be punted. The clean out is pretty much complete.
So that will place awesome pressure on the salary cap in the future.
I think the current spending spree should stop, and they should try and get the younger players to step up.

That's the best model IMO. We'll need to make sure our current crop of well paid wingers and backrowers don't block us when those quality spine players become available.

Please send that picture to his Twitter.

I have seen that pic on several NRL Twitter posts. Buzz is getting a real pasting from all fans, not just Dogs supporters. It's great lol

When you are down the bottom of the ladder with the rule of having to spend 95% of the cap its inevitable you end up with average players getting paid too much. We still have some of those that will be moved on, which is why we can afford better players that we can now attract.

I guess we are doing it in reverse atm bc those game changer players are available, and spine players aren't, and so we can rebuild our reputation and a winning culture until some elite spine players become available.

Look at the talent we signed as wooden spooners, imagine the players we will sign when we are performing next year....

Should be fkn scary to the other clubs.

Wow ... rent free.

Gus has perpetual lease on the joint

Gee I'd hate for our roster management to go wrong from here and we get the spoon or something

I wouldn't be surprised if our whole spine grew into their roles and became strike players themselves with the quality of players around them, we by rights should have food go forward with plenty of strike options.
