News Trent Barrett's impressive recruitment drive at the Bulldogs continues.

[KLil]

Really dont think Smith is the answer for us, surely we need an 80 minute hooker, not sure if the cheese is that

Enter Topine..

 

[KLil]

We have given them a few things for nothing. Time to return the favour me thinks.

They already have FInucane...

Who is the answer?

 

[KLil]

1st option - Smith and TPJ...
2nd option - Clarke and Liu..
3rd option - Rein and Rudolph

For fux sake throw the bank at option 1 please.. cant do this shit anymore!

 

[Kenya]

At this stage as long as no one flips we have a lethal back line. Burton, Naden, JAC whoa.
Add Avo, Cotric, DWZ and Meaney we’ll be right.

We need a revamped pack. At least 3 probably 4 maybe 5 serious forwards - 9 being essential.
Then we are a threat.

Barrett could have sbw, mason, omeley, Thurston (2004 side) in his team and still will get smacked. I’m still baffled as to how the bulldogs higher up thought, dean pay needs to go let’s get someone just as bad. I would’ve taken jim dymmick over pay and Barrett.

 

[Mr Beast]

Hope it is Bellamy

Haha best comment

 

[bradyk]

Enter Topine..

Topine's a good option to spell Smith for 20 minutes (can also play a bit of second row/lock) until he can play the full 80, which when Smith's 10kg's lighter you'd think it'd be a bit easier for him.

 

[bradtalo]

I think to shape our team we should be looking at the following now

Smith
TPJ or Haas
Hynes
Rudolf
Maybe have a decent recruit check out Fiji leagues

out with
DWZ (clumsy self rating ct not worth that coin)
Stimson
Napa
Hoppa
Ogden
S Katao
Probably keep T Katao for minimum wage back up

We should shed any player who has a NRL win ratio less than 60%. We need to get rid of losers who are comfortable with and accept losing.

Elliott 33.33%
Jackson 46.34%
DWZ 45.65%
Hopa 43.71%
Napa 51.52%

True. We gave them Finucane, Kasiano and Remis Smith all whilst under contract. They gave us Ryan Tandy.

Just because we give other clubs players for free doesn't mean other clubs are going to do the same and they'd be stupid to do so.

 

[chisdog]

Storm won’t release him unless get a replacement. Because they have him playing as a middle (when Grant is fit) will they take Jackson, Elliot or Thompson in return?

They can have Katoa AND I'll throw in JMK just to sweeten the deal!

I'd rather play Nasheed than T.Katoa

 

[El Padrino]

I was gonna start a thread -

Should we buy Brett Morris? I mean he is a little broken but i think we should offer him 5 year 6 million dollar deal...

 

[youoboys]

They can have Napa, Elliott and Katoa....hell, we will even throw in Nasheed with his shit oil (gunk), together with his curries and papadams...

Bulldogs fan here: can we keep nasheed a mum? ..................For her cooking .....

Its amazing how rocks and diamonds DWZ is!! I thought he would give us a real boost last night, but when he caught the ball he just seemed to stop still, and then slowly start to run. Where was his intent and energy that he showed at fb? Its as if he is just trying to prove he is not a winger.

It's Buzz stating that Barrett was busted meeting with Smith in Melbourne.

Told u guys this last week
We just need a player swap with storm that they’ll approve

If not Elliott, then RFM. Maybe one of the young guys - don’t want to give up Topine or Doorey but if it means you get B Smith in return you do it.

That's where we will come undone... We can't afford to lose anyone promising to them like Averillo, Schoupp, Topine or Doorey.
RFM I'd prefer over Elliot at this point but given his injury history he seems the logical option to offer, id give them DWZ also but depends how much we'd have to pay
