What! There is absolutely zero comparison between those scenarios.

Regardless of the cause Topine is unwell, medically declared, there is no farkin difference between mental and physical injuries. If he can’t play for whatever reason then we are well within our rights to ask for dispensation.

Always a Bulldog
I never said we weren’t within our rights. I was just saying we shouldn’t have to ask for dispensation.

It should automatically be granted

Not a terrible thing but our general forward stock is becoming more concerning. Not many forwards left…

Gould has shipped in as much dead wood as hes shipped out:
- stuckey
- tuifua
- davey
- pele
- perham
- Sutton
- tanner
- quai-ward
- oluapu
- knight
- turpin
- nu brown
- hutchison
- salmon
- faamasuli
- taafe
- Tracey
- clarke

While letting go of players like alamoti and Averillo will burn us big time
Alamoti and Averillo were replaced by better centres. Xerri has more talent as an outside back than both those players combined, he might need some time to get going though.

Hopefully the preseason hype is right about Hughes. I trust what they are doing and trust they have plans to bring in forwards. Seems it’s was for the best to move him on but we seem so light on with forwards

Let's escape from reality and allow ourselves to dream a bit. Two high profile, albeit ageing, middles have been demoted recently. One stripped of the captaincy, the other a club legend demoted to the bench. Yes, they will both tow the company line for a while and say the right things to the media but it's gotta hurt.
Welcome the bulldogs front row..... Jason Taumalolo and Josh Papali'i.
Top 8 and a finals run, here we come!
Get onto it Gus.

It was Goulds mess to clean up. He extended ray for 3yrs at end of 2022 which was a massive error. Id say we are paying 200k freight per yr for the dragons to take him
@04 Dreaming We are easily paying at least half. The biggest winner in all this is RFM. He's got his full contract, he's at a club that will appreciate him and he's away from toxic fans hating on him within his own club. RFM won this all along. They couldn't get him on any breach notices that could result in termination of contract or golden handshake. He got a full payout.

Gould re-signed him for 3yrs in 2022 he gets all the money.

No he doesn’t. You and your crew should get yourself checked. You’re either baiting or you’re just stuck on repeat. You have no inside knowledge of the release or $$

Honestly you should be banned. How is RFM away from toxic when he started all this toxic bullshit and running to the press.
RFM stays Gus has no legs to stand on,
RFM goes RFM won.
Nothing is positive about the club for you.
How the fuck are you a fan?

When RFM signed for the Dogs, he was highly regarded and played some very good football. He was selected by NZ to play tests.
Sadly his time was impacted by some other serious injuries which had a massive effect on his ability to perform at
the necessary level. Although I regarded him as being a good player when at his best, it is better for him to go.
Hopefully he can be resurrected like Foran was.

Dragons fans are saying we are only paying a small amount as Flanno Snr was really keen on him haha.
Nu Brown is the worlds biggest sook haha, going by this post he was clearly apart of the I don’t wanna hard train crew. Sharks tried warning us about the flop
Reading between the lines, Nu Brown's support for RFM suggests he may have started the problem in the first place.
We already knew it wasn't RFM.

Something was definitely going on with NuBrown. On form should have been in the top 17, he was actually playing really well at lock and off the bench in both NRL and cup. He also played really well for Newy a team with a lot stronger forward pack when given a chance. He was obviously dropped and then released for reasons other than football.

Precisely.
And maybe has had 7 clubs in 7 seasons for a reason as well?
