So far tonight Leniu looks like an expensive version of Atoni
You can see he will come good though... His energy, strength and mobility is outrageous and I think he will be near the best in 2-3 years.

I'm not going to make a huge wishlist since I barely watch more than Bulldogs games anymore. But as far as RFM goes, he can be good in patches. But at times it just annoys me that he tries to do more than is in his job description. Fancy footwork and offloads are great, but to start with you need to be throwing some weight at the line before you try the hero plays. I don't begrudge players trying things like this at times. But one of our biggest issues is that we still shoot ourselves in the foot with stupid errors that stem from a lack of composure.

I would target Fletcher Baker from the Roosters. We need some size on an edge and he can play middle too. Would be hard to prize from the Roosters though as they don’t often lose good young players. Surprised he is still unsigned.

Matt Lodge
Paul Vaughan
Matt Parcell
Billy Magoulias
Jackson Ferris
Matt Dufty
Parcell plays the heads up footy needed at dummy half and Magoulias plays a ball player/first receiver role with Dufty playing in the line as a second five eighth.Duftys' attcking skills in the oppo 15-20 outweigh the liabilities,we can't score points at the moment.

Not sure I agree. We said the same thing about Atoni 2 years ago and he hasn’t kicked on.

Leniu is Just a lump of shit playing on a great team making him look a lot better.
