I left out players from teams I went through and also 7 more teams I didn't note. So back to the original point D. Saifiti is nowhere near the top 20.
Okay then replace Finucane, Collins, Hopgood and Radley with those other 7 teams and i’ll wait

D. Saifiti isn't better than anyone I've listed. Also I'm changing it to D. Saifiti isn't even a top 30 middle.

TPJ as he isn't showing any promise which is a waste of talent.Thompson won't stay.

2024 Forwards as below
Wadell King Preston Kikau RFM Nu Brown Pele Hughes with the 3 x addtions look good

I think that Okunbor has potential. His natural home is in the forwards, and with a bit of coaching he could be a great impact player for us.
Agree, needs to look for the ball and take more Carrie’s, develop an offload, but def could be a good forward option.

Wiramu Greig. Was hopeful the Dogs would throw him a bone when he was off contract at Cowboy.

On the cusp of re-signing at Parra but he will just be another bench player once RCG comes back. We need some big dogs up front whoever we sign. Club has been obsessed with the word 'mobile' when it comes to forwards. Sign some fucking forwards that go forward before you worry about 'mobility'

Your having a laugh if you don’t think that list is better. That said Saifiti walks into our pack, not that it’s a high bar with all our injuries

Baseless guess:

Ryan Matterson to the dogs.

His brother dean was involved in the punch up with Schuster at Manly. Right around the time the Flanno swap rumour started.

We gave Davey to the eels, now they have also bought Joe. They have more second rowers than any other team and hopgood keeps staking his claim on the lock position.

Maybe Dean and Ryan are both coming to the dogs to reunite. We send Flanno to manly in exchange.

It’s just pure speculation but it actually makes sense with what has happened lately.

Wishful thinking. Matterson a great player and no way he’s let go I don’t think.

Lane just got ruled out for 8 weeks or something and yeh he’s in their best 3 backrower for sure.

Just had a peek at NSW Cup, these blokes are toiling away:
Zane Musgrove
Viliami Fafita
Siua Wong
Trey Mooney
Terrell May
Eddie Blacker

Extended NRL benches have guys like:
Francis Molo
Shawn Blore
Tariq Sims
Thomas Mikaele
CHN

would take anyone of these blokes.

They blew a lot of cash on Moses, Brown and Gutho already though. Add in Paulo and no doubt lane on decent coin. Might be needed to keep cap healthy at the end of a premiership window…

lolita jr only playing on potential ruins our chances up front,we signed him to do a job that he won’t do and it’s killing us across the park.I have a feeling he’s scared of getting suspended.

We need to find a pig tackler from the country who wants to rip in under the big smoke and make a name for himself.

Would be the perfect 13 for us. Has experience playing in the halves and can actually ball play.. the modern day lock

Wouldn't take Musgrove, May, Mooney, Sims or Mikaele. Also wouldn't take Okunbor, Reynolds, TPJ, Waddell or RFM.

Whatever the case , the moral of the story is that the club should of done, what needed to be done to keep Paul

At the end of the day, it does not matter now

Finucane and Radley being here is absolutely abysmal. You can argue with the rest on ranks but 1000% those two are not better than Saifiti.
