Good player. One of the few that can tuck the ball under his arm and churn out 8-10m per run. Shits on Waddell, RFM, Edwards and the other middles who shy away from the hard work.

Hopefully gets a permanent role for the rest of the season and stays injury free.

Shows a lot of promise and hard to believe he has been behind Knockonbor when he's been available for selection for the team.

I think they might of been letting him get match fit first before picking him.
I think he missed a fair bit of footy with a back injury

He looks pretty quick for his size.
I want to see him start a game and be the first contact with the opposing front rower from the kick off. Fisher Harris picked out Okunbour as soft target on the wknd all day and it’s just not the Bulldog tradition.

He has what I call the Brodie Croft gene.

Someone who busts his gut, digs deep, never gives up and is always striving to do better no matter why the opposition throws at him.

Great signing. He will be even better when he has a full pre-season and natural development.

No player is signed to the top 30 for the sole purpose of playing reserve grade. Every spot in the 30 is reserved for players gunning for first grade spots

You’re just another one stuck with this absolute loser mentality

With suspensions and the concussions ruling out so many players week to week soon it will be a top 35 or 40.

How many have we used already this season - 33??

if players 25-30 can’t hold their own in the top grade than you will get 40 scored against you most weeks, let alone win games.

Gus know exactly what he is doing future proofing our club with our junior pathways. The current signings of more experienced and competitive fringe players will fill the gap until the missing piece of the puzzle can be achieved - a marquee front rower in 2025.

These players are now still unsigned for us after this season...



Paul Alamoti, Braidon Burns, Declan Casey, Kyle Flanagan, , Jayden Okunbor, Luke Thompson, Corey Waddell


There are very little if any players off contract that would be worth signing other than for backup value at least according to the following list.. We have already looked at a few of them and they have been strongly linked to us (Taafe and Watson)

Nu Brown & Brandon Clarke are also unsigned for 2024, even though Clarke was released he is still officially part of 2023 top30.

Only 17 players can play fg any given week. Where do you think the other 13 play dickhead? Obviously it doesn't mean he won't play fg.
