Fifita to the ????

[ek999]

We have apparantly signed Lichaa from the Sharks too so that solves the h Ennis retires - I'm still happy with how he is playing) and we have a long-term 5/8. Fullback and halfback are issues no doubt, I wouldn't mind giving Mbye a crack at either position which could solve another problem. We also have Templeman and Phillips who can play fullback or in the halves

Just hope we have somehow managed to offload Tony Williams and keep Graham

 

[ek999]

Isn't Graham off contract this year?

Yes.Was reported a week or two ago that he was close to re-signing along with Ennis and Morris but nothing has been announced yet for any of them

 

[shaggs]

Lichaa knocked you guys back according to Hadley

 

[Bulldog Force]

FMD as if they don't need a fullback, 5/8th, halfback and hooker a hell of a lot more.

Dessie's lost the plot if true.

LMAO, Five-eighth? What an Origin utility isn't good enough? Hooker... yep, drop our captain, what an awesome idea.

Fifita will play centre & Morris to fullback.

 

[BranVan3000]

Really weird signing for mine. Not a bad one, just seems not a good fit. Fifita should give what they were hoping for from Tony Williams though. Maybe they have found a way to tear up his overpriced contract

Or Is Hasler just steadfastly holding in to this forwards as halves gimmick?

 

[Bulldog Force]

dont forget t-rex is probably getting a pretty penny to do SFA

He's improving slowly. He wouldn't have scored that try against Brisbane on Friday night if he was in last years form. He still has a lot of work to do though.

Isn't Graham off contract this year?

Yep - chances are he's going to Souths.

Lichaa knocked you guys back according to Hadley

He hasn't officially signed with us yet. Nothing's official and never was.

Im starting to wonder if Dessie isnt an over-rated coach
this is just such a poor move imo

 

[BranVan3000]

I think Graham is a bad fit at Souths if tabloids are to be believed and he doesn't get along with the Burgii

I'd take Tolman though

Might be a poor move but he's hardly overrated.

 

[Pierced Soul]

you'd think graham would be worth a bit on the open market. he's one of the worlds best props and has consistently shown it. Fififta has only really had one good season in first grade so far

 

[Wheeled Warrior]

I think Hasler wants to show the so called T-Rex the door as that was a poor move IMO

Fifita is the mantis and a gain for any club that secures his signature.

Hasler is not overrated.

How do you show T Rex the door? He is not going to take a pay cut, and no club is going to takeover that contract for him

 

[firechild]

I'm beginning to think maybe Hasler is a mole and he is bringing the Dogs down from the inside. His recruitment has been exceptional if that's the case, otherwise I'd say it has been pretty poor.

 

[perverse]

The Knights will be circling with some big offers for whoever drops out of the Dogs pack. Hope we have a good crack at Graham... I know we baulked at Fifitas asking price, Wayne don't pay dat much for props.

T-Rex is the most useless human playing NRL at the moment... and I can't believe Des still runs him out there week after week. Wouldn't be surprised if they tried to offload him... but who the f**k would take him?

 

[Different kind of Rabbit]

Surely Dessie isn't that stupid?

We all saw what happened last time he signed a forward to a massive contract after one solid year in the NRL.

I would want to see Fifita repeat the dose again for at least the start of this year before I signed on the dotted line at $800k.

 

[The Elephant In The room]

Fifita will play centre & Morris to fullback.

When did Ricky start coaching the Dogs? Has he walked out on his Canberra contract already?

 

[God-King Dean]

1. Perrett

6. Reynolds
7. Fifita

9. Ennis

Its almost like T-Rex just doesn't know how to time his run. Maybe Dessie needs to send a trainer out there in attack to stand next to Williams and slap him on the arse when he needs to run.

I don't think Des is overrated by any means. What have we learnt? Des is signing one of the game's best props, if not the best, and he will unload some dead wood at the same time? There is a domino effect to happen here if this move does go through and Bulldogs fans will know more soon. Des leaves no stone unturned.

I'd like to think Lichaa is still on his radar as that is a move that makes sense for the long term with Fifita.
