The Bulldogs have landed their 10th off-season signing by securing Cronulla’s Connor Tracey, but only after reluctantly giving up a future NRL star.


Connor Tracey’s deal with Canterbury is set to be rubber stamped after the Sharks and Bulldogs agreed to swap a rising star.

As previously posted;

With Crichton at fullback and possibly Xerri as one centre, my guess is Tracey will be fighting for the other centre spot.

I don't mind an attacking line up of;

1 Crichton
2 JAC
3 Xerri
11 Kikau
12 Preston
4 Tracey
5 Kiraz


Always a Bulldog

Before Tracey can be registered with the NRL someone in the Top 30 needs to be released or traded off.

Gabreal is development in 2024 and Top 30 in 2025.

Lets just wait for the Jobels confirmation.

Anyone still sad about Averillo leaving . . . He wouldn't have got a run in this backline anyway.
If we kept Averillo you wouldn't go after someone like Tracey, similar levels. I think depending on the details/salaries determines if it was a good "trade" or not.
