Why are the Bulldogs recruiting more forwards?

It was clear from the onset (BTW I actually saw that post on West Tigers Forum a few days ago so have been on the lookout), that he is here to cause problems.

There's another bloke in that thread "Milky" who said he has an account on here and that "we are pretty decent blokes and ladies".

That would be me

Looks like a bit of a quirk there though, as he should have been banned not sin binned... will have to get Nash to check out, as maybe that function is mucking up.

Fixed

@TigerGoneLoose is Tacky normally a troll over on your forum... or should he be given a second chance ?

 

[flamebouyant]

Greg Eastwood being tigers 14th

Or the ref. Take your pick. Lol

 

[Mr Invisible]

Okay I've unbanned him but reminded him that joining up to troll is normally a permaban.

I also tried to convince him to give us Tedesco in exchange for unbanning, but I don't think that tactic has quite worked.

Fucking idiot.

Thanks mate. Sorry about that.

You could try to get Tedesco but, he's an amazing gymnast, he loves doing backflips. It makes him hard to pin down. He was also a Roosters supporter growing up so you have to question how decent a person he is to begin with.

Teddy is too comfortable at the Tigers, but I'm not surprised he is considering a move to the Roosters.

He was never coming to the Dogs and it was never in his calculations.

hahah great minds think alike Gareth

So was Joshie Reynolds.

So you released a Roosters Supporter in Tedesco, and gained one in Reynolds.

 

[Tacky]

Yeah but, Josh is reformed. He's now a good decent bloke who hates the Roosters. Just like everyone else.

On a side note, the Dogs need more playmakers. If your getting Kieron Foran I'd be looking at Ash Taylor, Kane Elgey and Tyrone Roberts. You need good kicking game to compliment Foran.

I think most of us will be happy to see Foran/Frawley with Mbye at 9. At least for next year anyway.

If we sign another playmaker we will just lose Frawley, and the guy has a lot of potential. Plus we will get him for less money than any of those guys you listed.

Fucking eshay brahhh

I haven't seen much of Frawley but, someone experienced like Foran should be able to get the best out of a less experienced guy. Also, you can't go wrong with ballplaying fullback. According to a rumour on the Tigers forum Moylan wants out. Apparently he wants to link back up with Ivan but, the Dogs might be able to convince him they're his best fit.

 

[Dogs Rule]

Hmmm.... Coming from a fan of a team who just signed Josh Reynolds over Cooper Cronk?

You may ask why are we recruiting more forwards but i honestly think Woods is an inspired signing. It solves 3 problems.
1. Despite the fact the media keeps rambling on about our "giant pack", the fact is we are probably undersized right now. Jacko, Elliott, Tolman and Graham are all undersized players.
2. For mine Graham and Tolman are too much the same. Losing one and replacing them with a guy with a bit more oomph is a good thing.
3. Graham turns 32 this year. It's called succession planning.

Don't get me wrong I don't think Woods is a bad signing. I think he's a good player but, the way he has handled this whole situation by playing it out in the media has made me lose a lot of respect for him. If you look at the Tigers forum nobody likes him at the moment. Woods doesn't have oomph though. He lumbers up to the line and doesn't bend it often. He will always make at least ten meters though and his offloads and passes at the line cause a lot of trouble for defenders. We'll gladly take Graham or Tolman off your hands.

What I was curious about was, why they would get more forwards before they sorted out their halves? I think that's their most pressing issue.

 

[Alan79]

But you guys played with 14 players on the field all game....

The pocket ref was also in their pocket, make it 15.

Because des playes the forwards as halves.

Same thing happened with Justin Poore. When he was at the Dragons, everyone loved him, yet when he signed with the Eels, they all resented him. Life of an NRL player.

Justin Poore was the shittest of shit though. I can't believe he actually played for NSW.
