[Bulldog Force]

Doesn't say anything there on the figure. Good signing nonetheless.

 

[Dutchy]

:lol:

Hokko. I like that.

I guess I'll call him that until we find out his proper nickname

Hokko is his proper nickname...

 

[Spartan - Dragon]

he's sh*t..

 

[Alan Shore]

Kimmorley will probably throw a tantrum now.

 

[Terry-Randal]

What a traitor after all Manly have done for this bitch and leaves the marone and white for money. Anyhow good luck for the dogs but it may be a blessing in disguise for manly cause hes untried and has been playing horribly lately could be a waste of money in the end.

 

[Timmah]

marone :lol:

 

[hellteam]

What about Hodko. Sounds appropriate.

Good signing, loved watching him play all the time in the QLD Cup last year.

 

[Stagger eel]

yep it's actually Hodko..

 

[Bulldog Force]

It's confirmed we've signed Trent Hodkinson for $800,000 over 3 years. What does this mean for our current halfback Brett Kimmorley?

Dogs to put squeeze on Noddy

THE playing career of veteran Brett Kimmorley is on its last legs after the Bulldogs yesterday confirmed the signing of boom Manly halfback Trent Hodkinson on a three-year deal worth about $800,000.

Kimmorley, 33, was tight-lipped about his future last night in the wake of the signing.
"It's very good that [Hodkinson] has signed. I've got nothing really to say," he said.
Coach Kevin Moore said he was confident Kimmorley would still be at Belmore in 2011, but could not say if it would be as a player or coach.

"There's a huge amount of mutual respect there so I'm sure we'll get an outcome that's great for both parties," Moore said.
Hodkinson, 21, has been in great form for Manly. His signing is another boost for the Bulldogs who have also secured Storm prop Aiden Tolman.

So we've lost a promising player of our own in return. I guess that's only fair.

 

[dogslife]

Good investment in the future, overpaid for him though. Hope Noddy stays on as a coach, needs to give the game away I don't know what he was doing in the offseason it couldn't have been much

 

[cupid]

So we've lost a promising player of our own in return. I guess that's only fair.

Well he was actually at Manly before.

 

[Bulldog Force]

Why oh f**ken why did we sign Kris Keating???

 

[Deleted member 10972]

And what is going to happen with Ben Roberts and Ben Barba? Are they on the outer with Keating's signature?

 

[Timmah]

Well Barba will ultimately replace Patten, he's not destined to be half/5-8 forever.

Roberts will likely be the 5/8 with Keating our rotational bench half... impact much like Barba atm.

i.e.

1. Barba
6. Roberts
7. Hokko
9. Ennis
14. Keating

Greg Eastwood keen for a return to Cantebury

BLOCKBUSTING Kiwi international Greg Eastwood still hasn't given up hope of returning to the Kennel. Our UK spies tell us Eastwood's Super League club Leeds has been in talks to swap the homesick 23-year-old for Bulldogs captain Andrew Ryan.
And Canterbury officials are still interested in Eastwood, whose aggression and strike power up front have been sorely missed this season. Bulldogs CEO Todd Greenberg will meet with the duo's manager Dave Riolo later this week to discuss their future.
While Sport Confidential has been repeatedly told veteran teammate Luke Patten is close to securing a UK deal with either Salford or Huddersfield, Ryan will stay at Belmore next year unless he can reach an arrangement with Leeds.
Also expect the Bulldogs to have a huge play at Greg Inglis - assumes there's spare cash from Patten and Ryan's premature departure - should Melbourne be forced to off-load their superstar.

 

[Bulldog Force]

If no one was interested in reading the Greg Eastwood article, it also mentioned that we might make a big play for another Greg - Inglis. If Melbourne are forced to offload him (and it's looking that way), then we'll make a huge play for him - one would assume if we can't get Eastwood. Keep in mind, this means that Ryan and Patten will have to go on top of Hannant!
