Bulldogs backrower Jamie Feeney is set to leave Canterbury at the end of the season after he was offered an early release from the final season of his contract.

Feeney bursted onto the scene in 1999 when he scored two tries in his first grade debut against Auckland including a try with his first touch of the ball. Feeney has struggled since he won Country Origin selection in 2002 and has lost his place on the Bulldogs interchange bench following the emergence of Reni Matua, Roy Asotasi and Sonny-Bill Williams.

There were reports last year that Feeney had a falling out with coach Steve Folkes but was given first chance in the top 17 this year but has been over-shadowed by a new group of Bulldogs talent along with State of Origin representatives Andrew Ryan, Willie Mason, Mark O'Meley and captain Steven Price commanding starting spots.

Wests Tigers have already been linked to snaring Feeney with Manly and Souths also likely to express interest in the hard working and mobile backrower.

I'd welcome Feeny to Wests. He's an honest footballer who works hard and even though he's a forward can find his way to the tryline. Great hole runner for a backrower as well...

Speaking of Buddha, how is he going over in the Ole Dart?

 

[Vicious]

If the Dogs don`t want him,sign him now,before June 30!

 

[steven_tiger]

sounds promising...

 

[daslacker]

I personally hope we don't sign him.
He is a good player and i am a fan of his.
But we need props not more mobile backrows.

Spot on!

Ooops 8)

Seems he has been given permission to leave immediately from the Bulldogs. Would be a good buy for WT. Ideal Sattler or Graham replacement.

yep,i think i'll feel sick if he is our first signing

 

[yappy]

Really how much difference to the side will he make? Who gets dropped to make way for him - Galea, O'Neill, Sattler, Heighno? Oh I know the club's best 2nd rower Boof to Prop again (what do you reckon about that blatant piece of weakening one spot to strengthen another B_Tiger?).

It also means less chances for Fulton or Harrison if he's being groomed for the forwards. It's certainly not a unarguably and obviously positive decision if it happens.

Now if the deal involved a direct swap for Graham ..... :lol:

here here, agree 100%, he is a good bloke and i garentee you if we sign him he'll play at 100% every week to repay the tigers for giving him a chance. i know we have good young players BUT THE HAVNT PLAYED 1 GAME OF 1ST GRADE AND YOU CLAIM THEM TO BE SUPERSTARS, ok they may look LIKE good players but so did lee murphy

 

[Palms]

FRONT ROWERS...enough said.

 

[axl rose]

ok they may look LIKE good players but so did lee murphy

[Vicious]

Apart from Laffranchi when he`s playing there.Can anyone tell me which second rowers we have that are even close to being as good a player as Jamie Feeney????

don't you ever f**king learn?

when you keep on buying rejects,you keep on missing out on the top 8.
for f**k sake,his stats are worse than buckets and you complain about him every week.

he averages 6 yards per hit up.
an offload every 11 hitups
misses 1 tackle in every 8 attempts

yeah he is just what we need :roll:

buckets will get 6 yards per hitup,miss 1 tackle in every 19 attempts and offloads every 5th hitup.

there is a reason why he the dogs are willing to offload him as quick as they can.


keep on buying rejects like feeney and we will never play finals footy.
you would think that after so many years of misery you would finally see that buying 26year old rejects will get you f**king no where.
seeing as we love tradition so much it wouldn't surprise me to see us keep up with tradition and waste more money on rejects.

 

[JOELCORE]

If anyone doesnt think he would offer afair bit more then the backrowers we had playing tonite then they are kidding themselves.
