We really need two edge forwards, I don't think i'll last another season with Jackson out on the right edge lol.
Would be nice to steal Tupouniua from the Roosters. Him and Topine could be a great second row pairing going forward.

Haven't seen too many frontrowers in Oz who are as mobile and agile ;)
Scored 11 tries in a season which is probably more than Crapa and Tols have scored combined in the careers..

I was thinking yesterday if anyone is going to benefit from sbw it would be tuponiua.. still plenty of backrowers around that would jump at the bit to play on an edge for the dogs in the coming years.

Agree, at the dogs recently we've had success with left edge with Islander backrowers most notably Frank Pritchard. We need to get a player of his stature again, god I miss tank in his prime. I think Tupouniua could be that guy.

I thought Andrew Hill was a mute since the start of the season
Good to see him talking again
He doesn't waste his time talking to nobodies like me or you, he only talks to those that matter, those that are his bosses, that can play for us, that can coach for us or that can sponsor us.
He most certainly doesn't talk to the scumbag journalists, they are even less than a nobody.

Go Dogs

We definitely need someone like that.. it's about time we see some young boys thrown in because we might already have an answer at the club and I really don't want next year to be another we will see who fits where best kind of year.

Worst thing we can do is go on a buying spree. We would repeat the sins of the past. Buying strategically (strengthen the spine)should see us climb the ladder steadily whilst giving our juniors (or the ones we steal from Penrith) a chance to mature without paying over the top. We may unearth some gems in the process

Just saw on NRL 360, pannel talking about hooker issues at St George and Lara Pitt said we have approached Mccinnes. That would be a great signing

My favourite rumour so far. Be hard to pry a club captain away but fuck it would be good for us. He’s all heart and a great 9.

Hit the nail on the head mate.
Someone mentioned ‘rockstar’ before. I would love some rock star signings. Everyone else has numerous; we don’t have one.

With the three years endured and our current roster it should be zero surprise if we retained who we wanted and added -Walmsly, Clarke, I like Maloney for a half and to be honest a gun second rower. (Shame about Bateman) Maybe keep Lafai on the cheap too.
Thompson is an elite front rower, we technically have one rockstar. But take your point, we need a rockstar in one of the Spine positions

He definitely doesn’t want to be hitting it up on tackle 1 for the next 5 years of his life, he’s a hooker, I think it’s a good marriage at the Bulldogs
