Didn’t mind Talakai the centre for Sharks

I liked Ferris also, great footwork on the right, especially considering he normally plays left.

Gareth Widdop wants back in the NRL. Would be perfect for us. He could ruN the team

 

[Turvey Chip and Chase]

1) B Smith (if not - Clarke or McInnes)
2) Burton
3) either J Bromwich Welch or Hetherington
4) Staines and Rona (if not Coates or Koriebete)
5) if we lose Elliot (don’t pay over 350k) then Asiata.

wouldn’t mind seeing Talakai at Sharks situation. Cover back row or centre.

wouldn’t mind losing Tolman Napa Smith Montoya Lewis Cogger Crichton Lafai Britt Elliot (if too expensive).

Go hard for him behind the scenes and make him our hooker,,sign quality and the light at the end of the tunnel is nearer

Who is him?

If we are going to raid Manly for a 5/8 I would much rather we go for Cade Cust than Dylan Walker. Skillful player.

I really don’t like Dylan Walker hey I honestly rather a broken Foran running around than Walker can’t stand his head loved watching Scott punch the fuk out of him last year haha

He's a good centre. Hasn't played there for years though so it's a hard pass for me

He's a great player the cheese, but I thought his performance yesterday was pretty underwhelming in regards to running metres which is suppose to be one of his better assets. Our line speed was shit and I expected abit more from him there. Wish we got Blayke Brailey or Reece Robson still or better yet Koriosau

 

[Kempsey Dog]

Cooper Johns anyone ? Apparently off contract.
6. Burton, 7. Johns
wouldnt be too bad.

He's more like his old man then his uncle!
No thanks!

Yeah I've heard good things about him though. Time will tell.

 

[CBDoggies]

Everyone is dismissing Elliot. Yes I know he has his days but why chase another front row player when we have Elliot. Other teams are really wanting him and I don’t see why we shouldn’t give him 500+ a season.

Why? So we can stink it up with Elliott, Napa and Thompson in the middle? Lol

Na F off Napa at the end of his contract and slap Thomson on the edge and move Jackson back up the guts. Then go after a big body like Pangai if barrette can get the best out of him and our front row are done

BULLDOGS

Nick Cotric is already on his way over to spark the Bulldogs’ backline but Trent Barrett will still have plenty of money to splash around.

The forward pack isn’t an issue at the moment but with Adam Elliott, Joe Stimson and Aidan Tolman all a chance of leaving there could be a serious gap to fill.

Super League front rower Matty Lees has garnered plenty of interest and is keen for a move to the NRL.

He could be a solid option for the Dogs to pursue if needed.

Most of the money though needs to spent on their spine.

Their plans will depend greatly on the decision made around Kieran Foran’s future.

If he doesn’t stay on the reduced deal the Bulldogs will definitely need to go after an experienced playmaker but outside of Blake Green the options are slim there.

If Foran does remain at Belmore, the Bulldogs do have options in Lachlan Lewis, Brandon Wakeham and Jack Cogger – although the latter’s future is still up in the air.

None have been able to stamp their authority in the team though.

If Barrett is looking for someone else to come in and partner Foran, the best options on the market are Tristan Sailor, Tyrone May and Jai Field.

May is understood to be close to a deal with Penrith though so he may be hard to take over.

The Bulldogs are already developing a really well-balanced back five but if they want more spark they could look towards poaching Manly gun Albert Hopoate as a long-term option.

Alex Johnston and Storm fill-in fullback Nicho Hynes could also be worth considering.

The hooker position has also posed a problem for the Bulldogs with Jeremy Marshall-King not owning the role as expected.

The options out there are slim but both Tom Starling and Connor Watson could be worth pursuing although Watson is more of a utility than out-and-out hooker.

Are West Tigers shopping Luke Brooks?
Hear they are.
He would be on good coin, anyone think let Foran go and get Brooks?
With Brooks we could play Averillo or Hopoate as a running 5/8?

I recall him running the ball on the right edge early in his career. Could be a handy halves pairing with Burton if we could sign them.
