Another Centre we miss out on!

Tonga rewards Buldogs' support
June 21, 2006

FORMER Test centre Willie Tonga has re-signed with the Bulldogs for two years.

Tonga had been expected to test his value on the open market after the NRL's June 30 anti-tampering deadline. But the 22-year-old, who had been linked with a switch to rugby union, said today the club's support of him during a long injury lay-off last year helped him make his decision.

Tonga, who has played six Tests for Australia, missed most of 2005 with a knee injury and is currently sidelined with a hamstring problem.

Will the sharks be able to find a centre for next year?

The sharks dont play to their centres anyway.

Our centres just need to be able to tackle..

Dont worry I hear word is that next year we are going to field a team of 11 second rowers plus simmons and noddy, no need for centres!

Isn't best still on the market, he would make a great centre.

 

[Frenzy.]

Best has indicated he would prefer to stay at St George. Was in either one of the league books or a snippet in a paper last week.

Titans are claiming on their site that they will get Webster.

So kiss him goodbye too.

Apparently the dragons are not overly interested in keeping him.

 

[Alan Shore]

Bring Best home - I always liked him.

 

[Macca]

Still a chance of getting him apparently.

If we sign Lyon and team him up with Albert on the left....that would be beautiful.
