You obviously haven't done your homework. We've signed Ennis, Hannant and Morris. Those 3 alone are enough bring the dogs into about 12th place. Add onto that other signings such as Kimmorley, who, may I add, is finding his old Melbourne Storm form again, Goodwin from the Sharks and Gordon from Souths. Bring in the old timers playing career best footy - Andrew Ryan and the returning General, Luke Patten, exciting young talent coming through, Jamal Idris, Ben Barba and John Kite - I see top 8.
Yes i have, Ennis and Hannant are coming from a team with rep quality players, Ennis without those players in the side yes he played well but did not have the same impact when he was playing with the full strength broncos.
And i think the weaken bronco side is still stronger then the bulldogs team this year and next year , so ennis will not make the impact as the dogs are hoping , hannant is the same i cant see him doing much damage for the dogs.
Morris yes he has improved but i still not impressed with his tackling or handling still suspect, and will also not be a impact player as the dogs will hope
Kimmorely ending his career playing under an new unknown coach, and kimmorely will not have experience along side him in the 5/8 , plus his flat passing style will not give morris etc a chance to do anything
Bulldogs players like pattern, ryan , etc are also coming to the end of their careers and are injurys pronge and getting slower
Speed and experience is another factor with the bulldogs they still lack alot of speed / experience
maybe in 3 years the bulldogs may become a top 8 team but not in the next few years
