And then if they leave they become nothing to us but another disappointment ha ha
100% … except some on here like to hold on to ex players a teenager missing their ex girlfriend. For me once they’re gone-fck them and I hope their career goes nowhere

Yeah I agree I’m just scarred from all our dud forwards we’ve bought on overs that were supposed to harden our pack and just haven’t lived up to expectations

Luke Thompson
TPJ
Aaron woods
She Rex
Kikau*( I know only been one season but I mean not a great start)

I’m sure I’m missing a few

Is it too much to ask for an 04 type pack geez?
Woods wasn't a flop. He played for Australia before we destroyed him. Same and Tony Williams.

It’s good to have cashed up support around the club like the Laundys but don’t all NRL clubs have similar financial backers, offering TPAs ? . The titans have the Frizelles and the white knight. Roosters have uncle Nick. .. and so on…

Yeah I couldn't never understand T Rex being placed in centres to pass to the winger whenever he would get I'd be yelling run it run it but this must have been Des instructions

All clubs are different. I personally don't like TPA's in the game because it can be used as a way to "cheat" the salary cap. In theory everyone should be doing it and we might as well not have a salary cap too while we're at it.

Here's an e.g. from 2019, not sure if there's a more updated one.

You'd think with our board and Gus we'll be towards the top of the TPA's moving forward.

Don’t believe it. Buzz up to his old tricks trying to destabilise the club. Now the media and people will start questioning the salary cap and TPAs. I see no truth in this story.

Yes please to Tino, gun superstar, effort, true leader, Warrior, would be the best signing in a long time by far.

Media only have to compare our roster to most others to soon find out we aren't in sc danger.

Can a club sponsor even offer something like this? It can't be a tpa from a club sponsor

I spoke to a few members over the past two games and we’ve come to the same conclusion.

Laundy is a shrewd businessman and a leach. He will always prioritise his business interests before the club.

The further we can distance ourselves from alcohol and gaming businesses, the better off the Bulldogs will be in the long run.

I will never buy a jersey with his logo at the front.

Cmon mate, that’s a bit naive.
Bulldogs leagues club provides plenty of funding to the NRL club and there can be little doubt gambling profits make up huge part of their revenue and by extension, grants to the nrl club.
