We will probably rely on Tanner, Makatoa and Stuckey, they look like they could maybe make the step up next season. Or Dave is right about Klemmer :tearsofjoy:
If Stucky continues to develop then he will be good.

I haven’t seen those 3 pups play so I cant comment....

It's been a very few lean years in the development and produce of our forwards, considering we are a club who have always produced great forwards

Davey boy did mention Davey and his ex Woodsey

Why are people saying we are light in props?

Tpj
King
Thompson
Sutton
Patolo

With Jackson playing middle to fill in gaps.

I think the club is looking for King to make another step up and become a premier prop in his own right…looks good to me…
Have you watched that lot play? That’s why we’re light on props. You need NRL experience, talent doesn’t mean everything. broncos had TPJ and Haas up front and they got the spoon..

Have had heaps of time for him, so generous.
I've heard of the commentators curse, I didn't know there was a bloggers curse. I should have watched the match right through before talking him up - he got sent off for a high tackle just before the end! In his defence though, the English referees are worse pussies than ours. I don't think even Jack Hetherington would have been marched for the tackle Krisnan made.

Such a pity this guy is leaving... He would slip into any successful Dogs team.

Going to the SL 2 years early in my opinion.

Last night on Kayo, I watched the England warm-up match against a "combined all stars" team - basically the best super league players who didn't get picked for England! Former Bulldog, Rhyse Martin was going around for the all-stars, and he exuded quality from every pore. He is not your typical ageing former star, topping up his pension in SL. He is approaching his prime, and is NRL standard any day of the week. How on earth did we let him leave?

I don't think we let him go on ability, there must of been something going on behind the scenes.

I heard a whisper (which may or may not be correct) that he was told to lose weight during the off-season, and he didn't so they dropped him to reserves. On Sunday night, he looked as though he still had his winter coat on, but it didn't affect the way he played.

Like I said don't dismiss Klemmer, deal similar to Vaughan can do a job, plus has the Doggie DNA
Depends a lot on if Mrs Klemmer wanted to come back. Daves got no say in it.
