He's 35 supposedly. Anyway, let him do his thing, I could care less. I'm just dubious, that's allHe’s just a lad trying to fit in that’s all. He means well

CookedNah hes not he’s the same on Facebook. He’s not the full quid so he’s not trying to be annoying or anything that’s just how he is.
Sorry mate i could choose my words more carefully . . . Fuck your screen name is close to a palindrome . . . KindaBy then Moses would be signed up
If Moses stays
The above is true
All good fam, I respect your concerns but I am very curious what you mean by this? Mortimer thing?A very brave request.... you'd get eaten alive over there if you carried on with the shit you post in here.
I see this as evidence of this stupid myth that everyone someone doesn’t like is Nasheed wallah I know this all to well.Nah hes not he’s the same on Facebook. He’s not the full quid so he’s not trying to be annoying or anything that’s just how he is.
There's rumours Mr Invisible is behind it actuallyHe might not be Nasheed but he's not a legit poster. He writes 5 posts replying to himself and then says everyone is a bully 10 seconds later before anyone has said anything. It's bizarre.
Each to their own, but with all of our recruits for this year, do you really only think that we can improve by 2 or 3 places on last years efforts??Dogs supporter through and through for over 40 years. I hate the Eels. They are our arch enemy.
Much as I hate to admit it, I can't see us finishing in the 8 this year. We should finish 9th or 10th. Next year, 2nd year with Ciraldos systems and another at least 2 good contracted additions in Crighton and Xerri we should make the top 8.
The best team in the comp beat the Eels last year, after losing twice to the Eels during the season.
Yes we are better in 2023, but not better than 8 teams.
I win footy tipping competitions just for fun. How do you go in them?
In 23 we don't have an elite 1, 6 or 7.
Our 6 could become elite in the future. ATM he's a rep centre. The teams with the best spines make the finals and ATM those teams are...in no particular order....Penrith, Souths, Roosters, Storm, Eels, Sharks, Cowboys and Manly.
Next is Tigers, Dogs, Broncos, Raiders
Then Warriors, St George, Titans, Newcastle and Dolphins
There's a lot of ordinary teams with ordinary spines there in that bottom 9.
100% agree mate.I've followed the Berries / Bulldogs since 1976. We had a competitive side in the '70's but there were NO salary caps back then and the Rorters and the Silver Tails dominated the '70's, Saints picked up premierships in 77 and 79 but we beat the Rorters in '80.
In 1978 many of our then top players, left the club for other clubs, a number of them joining Newtown, including Bill Noonan. Everyone at the time thought we'd be easy beats in '79 but with Ted Glossop in only his 2nd season as coach of the Bulldogs, a schoolteacher by profession, all players and most coaches had other jobs back then, would bring about the birth of the Entertainers with a young, fast squad that was allowed to play their natural game. Steve Mortimer was a star and the 'Dogs made it the '79 Grand Final only to be beaten by Saints who had a 17-0 lead at half time and coach Glossop told them to go out and enjoy themselves as this will be the final 40 minutes of Rugby League, you'll play this year. They did and nearly pulled off a miraculous comeback, losing 17-13. Next year in 1980 we won our first competition in 38 years over the Rorters.
Moral of the story is we had a team back then that gelled well together, and it brought about instant success. We now have a far better side than I've seen in nearly 20 years and will only get better with more top players signing up for 2024. We, now like in '79 have a new coach and have improved our roster better than any other club. Some are losing top players due to salary cap restraints.
Just have a look at how many rep players we now have in our squad? If we don't finish top 8 this season we NEVER will.
A champion team will beat a team of champions. No ego, just pride in the jersey and a never say die attitude. Thats us.Just because you have super stars in your team that doesn't mean you're winning the comp and rely on individual talent.
There is no I in team!
Its about building a team on effort and willing to work for one another making that extra tackle running those extra meters and building combinations and defense.
This takes time working on different structures.
We're on the right track!
That's all true when the players that make up the champion team have ability also.A champion team will beat a team of champions. No ego, just pride in the jersey and a never say die attitude. Thats us.
This is true, but i believe we already do. If players like TPJ, Burton, JAC, Mahoney and Kiks can perform to their abilities, and players like King, Thompson, RFM, Kiraz, Perham and Averilo can step things up a notch, im very confident our champion team will make the 8!!!That's all true when the players that make up the champion team have ability also.
Can't fault the effort of the players of recent years.
They just didn't have the ability
Time to get some champions in our team, so we can build a champion team.
Funny you say that when he signed JMK as his first choice hooker ♂Can't see Bennet going for a player like Moses.
Prefers winners...
Sauce?Here’s the problem with Moses.
I know we are working on him but we are only one of the three factors
- his 1st preference in regards to where he wants to be in 2024 is us.
- he doesn’t want to rock the boat at Parra and wants to give them at least a chance to counter fairly. Staying there is his 2nd preference, but a legitimate option.
- Tigers Money (although it’s his last preference for actual club) is much more than Dogs and Parra.
If not for Tigers ridiculous offer, it’s a 2 horse race.
Wasn't Grant Bennet's 1st choice? Then BSmith 2nd choice? Which makes JMK Bennet's 3rd choice.Funny you say that when he signed JMK as his first choice hooker ♂
Similar mailIt’s just what I’ve heard from someone close to it.
he couldn’t say whether we’re gonna get him or not. Well, maybe he could say but it’s pretty sensitive so I don’t blame him for holding that particular detail.
my gut feeling is he won’t come.
Nope, he knows.Similar mail
Literally a coin flip at this stage (Eels or us) the fact it’s taking him so long to decide bodes well for us
So just enough to say, I know something but not enough to put your neck out? Why bother at all?I had coffee with Mitch Moses this morning. He came with his cousin who’s my friend from West Ryde. Bit unexpected.
All I will say is he knows what his next move is.
He doesn’t want me to tell and because of the disrespect with previous news I’m not even goi go to hint.
