Matty Johns just raved about Iongi and plucked out 1 set where he hammered turbo in the kick chase.

Then backed it up with another tackle.

Then got back returned the kick and won his kick return with his physicality.

You can see the media narrative has shifted in the past month from bagging the shit out of the club for moving Gutho on.

To now Iongi is going to be a gun and Ryles has pulled the rein.
Correct. Far too many footy fans have their opinions made for them by the media. I said it in here a couple of weeks ago that Iongi was the least of our problems when things weren’t going right.

Gould absolutely cracked when Chammas called him out on 100% Footy for spinning bullshit—so what does he do? Drowns him out like a defensive, arrogant coward who can’t handle being challenged.

Embarrassing.


Then he has the audacity to whinge about being the only GM constantly under the microscope. Maybe that’s because he never shuts up and constantly pushes his own agenda. You can’t dominate the media cycle, throw your weight around, then cry victim when someone fires back.


If he hates the scrutiny so much, he should step away from the media circus he helped create. But of course, his ego’s way too fragile and bloated to ever allow that.


I genuinely can’t stand the bloke—and I hope his team goes down in flames.
I feel sorry for you blokes having to cheer him on years back at Origin. We get to hate him 365 days a year :D

And they're right - Isaiah Iongi is a special talent.

So they mentioned that Sexton hadnt been in the Dogs long term plans and sound surprised that the Dogs approached Galvin? Of course they were talking to him from Day 1, cmon, who would believe Gus after those comments in April.

It doesnt bother me one bit that we missed out.

be interresting to know what the deal was, if it was up around $800K or more, I'm glad we didn't get involved in a bidding warfor an 18 year old

I haven't seen a lot of him, but from what I have seen he was nothing special but there were abviosly people at the Eels who rated him which is why we went after him

I wonder if his "culture" issue or his behavious was why Ryles put a limit on his value

Bulldog's demanded Ben Hunt to break his Dragons contract last year remember. Manipulated the whole situation. By tried very hard to keep it quiet
Bulldog's were desperate for a experienced half

Sexton, the halfback of the team running first, is still unsigned in May ffs. Of course they were negotiating with someone else to replace him.
