New recruits for 2023

[Mjab]

Maybe Murchie is not happening after all. Wikipedia was showing St George Illawarra earlier in the day , but is now showing Melbourne Storm in brackets in that spot. Who knows?

I know who id prefer to play for !!!

 

[Mjab]

Would be a massive signing for us and hope its true

However does he realise that he is behind woods in the pecking order ?? ( I am joking ) How good would it be to have quality forwards so woods could just roll around in reserve grade all year ..

Now all we need is a coach that can develop a game plan for the new recruits

I think he will sign so he could improve his game and learn off Woods

 

[Dragon David]

Signed to Doggies

Where, only the best will do. Ciraldo will have a good squad to work his magic with. More's the pity because I despise the Bulldogs.

In all honesty, we are just making up numbers in the 17 team competition next year. Recruitment nowhere near as good as other clubs and not one of our players would put fear into the minds of the players of the other 16 teams.

We have only gone into each new year with a half hearted approach. We finished in the top 4 of the bottom 8 this year. It is hard to see us in the top 4 of the top 8 for a long time.

The good coaches don't want a bar of us and same goes for the better players. If our salary cap is RS and we don't have a lot to spend because of the bad management of the cap by those who fiddle with it, then it will take a good length of time to sort this all out and in the meantime, we continue to get the mediocre players.

Rumor or fact? He'd have been the ideal impact forward off the bench against a tired defense.
Our R/R team are so slow off the mark.

Bulldogs set for double forward boost

The club are set to sign two more players.

Yep as always, wasnt even a mention that Dragons were interested in him , which they should have been. Then again it must have interfered with the busy board schedule and the new decor !!!

I would have thought that flanno would have signed him up mid season .. you really wonder what is department have done apart from organising hoi next fox gig

 

[Dorothy the Winowhore]

Is that pommy prop at Bulldogs still unsigned?

 

[Gareth67]

It would be a boost to our forwards if they - recruitment do manage to obtain Spencer Leniu signature . He is built very similar to Francis Molo , huge legs , which equal plenty of of go forward in him .

 

[BIG RIG]

I can’t find any articles online linking us to Leniu anywhere, would you be able to send an article link? Cheers.

Great signing if true, I’m just concerned knowing we’ll overpay more than even we need to and that the club will hang their hats on one good signing and ease their pursuit of Robson. Plus, they should be going for Tapine too.

Sorry I got not official article - it was a rumour on Insta and Twitter hence why I chucked it in as a rumour

I just pray it’s true

Liddle is a player ive been excited to see kick on . Injuries have definitely plagued his career but hopefully he can get a few stable years under his belt and reach his potential. He cops some flack for ill directed passes at times but i think thats due to those around him not being where they should rather then a poor pass.
To get the best out of him the forwards need to create momentum and that never happened at Weststigers , and he needs to have players share the defence load as he tackles his arse off until he is spent and that affects his stamina.
Good signing all round with potential to be one on the games best hookers if things align.

If things aligned for Gitano he would have been one of the best in the game too!

I just dont see this kid cutting it unfortunately, i hope i am wrong. Cool highlight package from the 20s though.

100% agree mate, we could take it one step further and ask if he wasn't in the know about a sharks junior then where is he looking ???

It is hard to figure. We lose:
Sims
Maguire
McCullough
Moga
Gosiewski
Faamausil
Kerr
Fuimaono

Then we buy Liddle at an economical price and apparently don't have cap space to buy David Fifita or a top-of-the-line edge forward to replace Sims.

Chill out. End of season sale hasn’t started yet.

Hearing Jacob Liddle didn't pass his fitness test.

Glad our club is doing its due diligence.

may explain why the Tigers were willing to let him go.

Mate. Who wouldn’t want to learn from the best? A shitty has been player like Woods, who contributes f**k all to the club, continues to play first grade and get paid, when he should have been kicked out years ago. Every player and supporter would love to know how he does it.
