The rortsters also have a wealthy benefactor and supporter who is expert at circumventing tax laws and salary caps

don’t you worry about us dogs fans, we are catching on and strive to be able to afford to live in the eastern suburbs.. hard working mob we are

I still don't think we need Crichton! I think I saw enough from Kiraz in the WC to say that he will do well at FB. I am also keen to see Ava there after a full preseason. I rate Ava. I think he has some X factor. I would back Rajab at HB and Skelton plus Alamoti in the centres. I think Crichton is money wasted to be honest.

He is signed to play for the bulldogs, so who cares now?! One thing chrichton has over the others you mentioned is experience. He has done it all at the age off 22. Cant manufacture that kind of experience over night, you sometimes have to just buy it.

 

[flamebouyant]

Entitled to your opinion and I hear you but the Crichton signing at the age of 22, a two time winning Premiership player, State Of Origin and International representative is what we need after 6+ years of a losing culture. Having players like Crichton and even Kikau around players that have endured really tough years, these are the type of players that will bring back a winning culture.

It's not just what we see on the field which is what they are signed for, it's the stuff they do off it that can change the culture and nurture our inexperienced players into knowing what it takes to win a premiership.

100%

Okay the thing I want to ask, just say we win the comp this year. As dogs supporters how would it feel knowing we have limited junior representation in this team? Compared to 2004, for me, much lower! We had 75% of our side either junior based or developed in that 2004 side.

You seem to be the only one who cares. If we win the comp, i could not care less who is playing for us!!! Are you serious?

Apparently Gus has just come out and said we offered Crichton a contract on Wednesday and they haven’t heard back from his management yet..
Is Gus telling porkies??

If Gus has commented then I'd expect it to be closer to the truth.

 

[Turvey Chip and Chase]

You don't think we are working to a plan in signing the RIGHT players when they become available?

A quality half and prop WILL be signed for 2024.

2024 was always the year marked for our return as a heavyweight on the field.

I really hope it plays out like that. Without being a hot shot I know someone with very close ties to that side of things and I know also that half and prop are (and have been) THE 2 main positions they are chasing. I guess though you can’t put all your eggs in the Moses basket and just wait for only him and chance missing other quality. Just hope there is still $$ aside after this.

Mate I'm sure we land a quality prop/ half .... the whole rebuild falls short without.

Gus knows what players the team needs .... no doubt whatsoever we have money set aside or coming off the books.

We are picking off our targets as they become available ... working to a plan, not panic buying.

People seem to not like me for some reason but do I not have a point?

Your girlfriend from school still loves you...

 

[The DoggFather]

Smart of Gus not to be involved with Isaac Moses , just chime in at the end.

Yep, when the smoke settles then you will see what's up.

What happened with that Penrith cocksucker who said he isn't leaving and most of you swallowed his bullshit ?

Any more tweets from the shit ****?

Peter Lang?

 

[Natboy]

When you gunna learn how to kick bombs on the field?

When his legs and core get stronger than a 9 year old girl

 

[The DoggFather]

Peter Lang?

Yeah that shit **** lol

Man everyone deepthroated him hard lol

**** doesn't know shit. Nasheed had better info.

I wouldn't give a fuck if we had Moses and Walker in our team if we won a GF. Can't stand the ***** but doesn't matter, just won't cheer for them like I never cheered for Ennis the Coward cuck.

 

[albatross]

I don't reckon Gus is after Moses. It's either all paper talk or Gus playing games behind the scenes while lining up his true target. It's just my opinion but he doesn't seem like the sort of half Gus would sign. Can be brilliant with all the skills, but often doesn't turn up and is always more of an individual than team player. I hope I'm right and Gus waits for someone better, but we'll see.

Hit play & you will see him here in the white & green.

 

[Psycho Doggie]

if thompson plays well this season than im sure we'll keep him considering there isn't many quality props around atm

If he plays well it will come down to whether or not he and the club can agree a contract that both parties are happy with.

So you'd rather we keep coming bottom 4 over the next 4-5 seasons? Hasler and co gutted our juniors, it takes time to rebuild, in the meantime getting first grade back into finals contention is going to help the development process.

**** doesn't know shit. Nasheed had better info.

He put out a statement saying “I was wrong but I was right, here, read this story from Michael Carayannis and it proves it” lol

 

[Psycho Doggie]

that's why I said let's see what he is capable of doing this season without being injured/suspended before giving him a new contract.

He has a good engine, gets a lot of defensive work done, is frequently putting his hand up to do hard carries. He has the bases covered for a starting middle forward, but has missed too many games and is on too much. He has speed and evasion that we have seen way too little of. If he plays 22+ games this season, keeps racking up the tackles, hitups, and the off the ball stuff, plus starts getting used more to give his speed a chance, I'd be keen to see him re-signed at the average amount for an NRL starting middle forward.
