No Source Trent Merrin

[Noeasyday]

With Trent Merrin being released from his ESL contract, would you like to see him in a Bulldogs jersey.
Although we would need to release a player, and middle forward is not exactly the position we need to fill, I think a player of Merrin's calibre and experience would be ideal on a 2 to 3 year contract to help our young squad through the next few years.
Thoughts?

Cheap as and on the bench yes.... and i only say yes because i think he would be a very handy player when and if the interchange is reduced due to his frame and skill.

Merrin would be a decent purchase. Past the peak of his powers but would be great for our younger players.

Very Experienced and comes across as a decent guy. An investment in the development of our young team.

no chance
he is on compassionate leave due to a death in his partners family, bloke is not going to leave $800 000 a year contract to play for peanuts.

Super league clubs have a salary cap of around two million pounds with I think one or two marquee signings only per club. I'm going to doubt hes on that much.

I’m with ya.. a no from myself as well.

Kebabs would be more appealing

Will go back to St Merge. Need to find a decent number 9 and centre before any more forwards.

 

[CroydonDog]

Nothing against the bloke, but nobody goes to ESL if their career is on the up.

 

[CroydonDog]

He used to be with Sally Fitzgibbons (the surfer). I assume that bit the dust?

Trent Merrin is another version of Woods

Cream puffs OUT. This is not a Bulldogs signing, no aggression, jogs to the line. Would make our pack worse than it is.

We definitely do need another forward, though our number 1 priority should be a 9 and centre.

Considering there are no centres available, we might have to battle it out till 2021.

On another note Robson & Brailey are off contract and we should try and nab one of the two.

Some decent forwards off contract as well, such as, Flegler, Christian Welch and George Burgess. All 3 would add alot of punch off the bench, though you would think George Burgess would demand a decent amount.

As Hill said, we will target certain players/positions as they are coming off contract, just like what they did with CHN even though we were stacked with backrowers.

We have Fualalo & Tualau off contract and you wouldnt be re-signing these two. You would promote To'omaga and buy another prop.

Lichaa & Brown off contract and you would not be re-signing these two. Robson or Brailey with JMK as backup/utility

Please, Trent Merrin makes Aaron Woods look like Steve Price.

A Trent Merrin in his prime was fucking shit. He's so over the hill his name should be Hank.

What about Harper ? He is waiting in the wings.. and the young guys that have been given their debut have done great..!! Surely he gets his chance this year lol.

I really hope so, most others given a chance have stood up, hopefully he gets a chance too.

I know it’s a typo, but Lichaa and re-signing should never be in the same sentence again.
