OMG!!!! We have halves!! :crazy:

Does this mean we will have some structure, someone who can kick and not find the throat of the winger or fullback??

Even though Hindmarsh wears 11, he is our 13!
The tradition lock position within league has changed from a ball playing lock to a defensive position i.e. more of a high tackling front rower. The second rowers are know considered more attacking and need to have both ball playing ability and defence like once the locks had...
IMO next year it will be more like:
11. Maitua
12. Horo, Smith etc (or new signing)
13. Hindmarsh

Last year Anderson stated that Hindy was our lock, however he will not give up the number 11.

That is wrong according to the book of Poupou, he will explain soon.

Not sure if this is a great signing for you. Sure it's better than Morts and Sandow is better than Robson but both Sandow and Roberts are terribly inconsistent.

As a Bulldogs supporter I can tell you that Roberts at his best is as good as anyone. He has a tremendous left boot and a good running game. His defence can be patchy but not too bad but his big knock is consistency.

During his 6 years with us he always was the player we thought would come through as every now and then he would do something that was breathtaking. A couple of years ago against the Broncos he played an 11 out of 10 game and then went missing for the rest of the season. Recently he has been injured a lot.

I'm sure both Sandow and Roberts will win you games but im just not sure how consistent they will be. Sandow might struggle behind a much weaker pack whilst Roberts enigmatic performances might have you lot calling for his head this time next year.

Hindy doesn't wear 13 cos he thinks it's bad luck. Ando said this last year.
