Opinion Must Haves 2021

[Bulldogsteve]

You'd be silly to shed Jack Cogger, he won't cost much, and I'm not expecting him to be a starter, but he does provide depth and competence on the field, which is what you want when injuries occur.

cogger is in talks with the tigers at the moment.

 

[Jai81]

TPJ plays one good game in every 10 and Bird is injury ridden. Papalii would be nice!
Brandon Smith would be a dream signing so im doubtful he will join us

I hope he doesn't go there he'd be stupid as they'd fuck him around just as much as us. If I was him I'd try go to the Dragons. At the Dragons he would do really well, Jacks a team player and plays into the line. Would force Dufty to play straighter and, would also help in getting Lomax so clean ball.

he is looking at what his best options are at the moment. It is a shame we have already re-signed lewis, he would be the first to go imo

Neither should be one of our starting halves anyways. Overall between the two the difference in ability is negligible imo.

Didn’t cogger Just knock The knights back to stay with us?

Swap for Brooks?

 

[Kelpie03]

We already have 2 running halves - Avo and BBO (not sure if BBO is also an organizing half but he definitely has a running game)

Lewis is not a half FULL STOP, out of the three Wakeham BBO and Cogger, I would play Cogger for the rest of the year and start him in 2021, Both Wakeham and BBO may become super stars but they both need time, that is the reason why I would resign Cogger for at least another year.
Hopefully one of the three together with Averillo will give our club the equal of any half's combination in the comp.

I know he’s still off contract but he knocked back a knights offer because he wants to stay with us. Trying to earn a new contract

 

[Berries]

Did not read a word after you claimed they would get rid of one of the top 3 forwards in the game Papali because the injury prone Ryan James signed wtf

 

[Nasheed]

This is correct.
I think that Knights offer will be withdrawn if they resign Green.
He hasn't earnt a new contract yet so maybe he's panicking a bit.

he is only talking to the tigers at present unless the dogs offer him a deal.

can only think Benji and Reynolds will be gone from there next year

 

[Bob dog]

So much for the war chest new look side, we are going to need more than Barret to transform things.

Read! Never did I say they we’re getting rid of him.The Bulldogs offered Papalii in excess of $900k he knocked it back. The Broncos have offered $1mil. Played all his junior footy in Brisbane;if the Broncos can move more dead money, they’ll make an another play for him.

 

[SweetFA]

Most of these suggestions are pretty atrocious with the exception of McInnes. Would just about let him write his own contract to get him here.

Papalii would be a luxury but there’s no chance he’d leave the Raiders anytime soon.

A premium 7 and/or 9 has to be the main target.

Atrocious has been our recruitment & retention for 2021:-
Thompson $900k “The best prop in the world!!!!” Not even the best prop at Bulldogs right now....
Cotric $600k winger wanting to play centre
Elliott even at $450k (current year’s salary), combined with Jackson on minimum $650k, DWZ $600k at this stage is atrocious value fur money, with the likes of Doorey & Topine in the ranks & waiting for a chance......

Our $3m “war chest” is fast becoming a shoestring budget.. with no 1,6,7 or 9 of note.

Elliott's the best value for money out of everyone you've named.

Why would Reynolds be gone next year? Who's picking up that contract if even we don't want him.

 

[Nasheed]

Dawg, Elliott at 450 is really good value. He's a 600 player on the open market.

We just need a couple of cut price buys/retentions like that and we can splash at a marquee hooker
