Napa Consolidated Discussion Thread

Where do i line up to kill myself?

Exactly how i felt when we signed Woods.....

I only survived casue we let him go after a few months.... who knows same could happen to Nappa.... have hope...

Napa is the leader that our young guys need. Klemmer makes plenty of meters and always has his hand up to make a carry... but Dylan is probably the number 1 player in the comp to change the momentum of a game with his aggression and you can see the ripple effect it has had on the Roosters and Maroons squads when he does so.

Lol @ leader. Bloke was deadset their 4th string prop this season. Dead average and not required.

I'm sick of releasing players. Just fucking sign ***** we actually need and coach what we have.

Klemmer did his ACL in 2013 and missed most of the season so that’s why there’s that big of a difference.

Yea not saying he was suspended more, just available less. Would rather a guy with no previous injury concerns and no strapping when he plays.

talking about leading with actions when required... not many can change the momentum of a game like him.

And I took off the 2013 games. 2014-2018 there was 18 games difference.

Yeah I agree, I think all the suspension stuff is getting blown out of proportion.

Garbage. Roosters win the comp with or without him, his influence is no where near that big. He has failed to live up to expectations in recent years and has massively under performed.

Great signing along with Sauso Sue, CHN, good mobile hard running pack add to that, RFM, JJ its not looking to bad

Even without Klem and now with the addition of Napa we have one of the better packs imho. It’s the spine and backs that’s a worry

In your opinion, but Qld SOO coaches in Meninga and Walters both don't agree with you. For some reason, not sure why, I tend to value their opinion more than yours.

Of course they will, they have a sombrero and will likely sign Cam Smith. Fact is, we have great forwards coming through as far as meterage is concerned, but I wouldn't consider them super aggressive.. Dylan will easily be our most aggressive player, and when he does something, it has max impact, and it inspires the players around him.. That's what a Dogs of War mentality is and that's why the club targeted him

 

[Heckler]

He's a Bulldog now. Wishing you every success with our club. Welcome aboard!

Napa: The first challenge is to earn the respect from the playing group.

Not a bad opener.

I think he’s signed to add some steel to a pack that’s been playing like bitches since Black Friday ‘ 2015.

He may not put up Klemmer numbers or offload (mind you Woods is an offloading prop and we offloaded him away pretty quickly).

As long as Dylan contributes collectively especially his defence and ability to strike fear in opposition packs then I’m sure we have enough depth with Tolman, Su, Renouf et al to give us a formidable looking pack

Nah we need tolman gone

 

[GrogDog]

Welcome Dylan and go fuk yourself Klemm!

 

[Reesy]

I think a guy like Pay will get the best out of Napa - master of controlled aggression. I’d rather have Napa then a bloke who who doesn’t want to be here

 

[hayes]

Well as long as Napa headbutts and ko's Klemmer round 9.

Geez, you we’re on a long phone call mate - hopefully giving Hill some advice!

 

[Rod67]

that's it for me.......I've followed and loved this club for over 40 years but they have totally lost their way......I was heartened and welcomed the new ticket take over from last year and while I'm not upset that Klemmer has gone but for the life of me I am absolutely shocked at the signing of Dylan Napa to the Bulldogs.......while he has been part of a premiership winning side and played for his state the guy has had TWO major indiscretions from this season with Roosters and is only one more away from a long stint on the sidelines......he's either got a tackling technique problems or the guy is a thug as he should consider himself extremely lucky he didn't spend longer on the sidelines than what he actually did not once but twice........then again when you're at the Roosters, Uncle Nick tends to have plenty of pull.......very much doubt that will be the case at the Bulldogs if he is to have another brain explosion.
