Rumours and Stuff

Is that just your Balkan approach to things mate?
Why would you want us to lessen our 2022 chances?

Penrith,Spuths and Storm look weaker in 2022. We look as strong and imo stronger due to young players being more experienced. Why ruin our chances? We where the 4th best side in 2021. Keep everyone

 

[Gazzamatta]

PMSL. Yeah that'll work.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Kieran is getting close to having played for just as many clubs as Phil Blake

We have a strong side for 2022. Is our top 29 players sorted yet?

We have no idea how our side will look for 2023. We also have Kafusi,Stone,Dunster,Matterson off contract who will all play NRL this season. Along with Jnr and Manhoney.

Doorey and RFM at dogs might be worth looking at. CHN,Nikora also maybe 2nd row options.

But who knows what juniors may pop up this season. Or how Hollis and Greig go. If those two stepped up we have middles sorted.

Hopefully Rheed shows sharper decision making in games. You’re killing me Rheed, you’re really killing me!

If Papa rumours showed our ceiling for backrowers, than Dogs ones are in that but I reckon CHN would be nudging and Nikora possibly would want over

I absolutely agree we shouldn't pay overs. Always another somewhere if your systems are good enough. I like new players coming through. Im very glad its not Brthurs responsibility and thank fu*k for that.

Why should it be? It's not the coach's responsibility at any other f**king club. They've got enough on their plate.

It's not that the Dogs have more to spend than us (we have the most off contract players so we would have plenty to spend) but that they are willing to pay more than we are. Because they are desperate, like the Tigers. You should be more worried if we lost him to a 'well run' club like the Roosters or Storm.

I understand how it works…. How is it though that the Dogs who have already signed approx 10 big name recruits over the last 2 seasons and who a lot of assumably are on ‘overs’ to go there then can still be in prime position to offer Mahoney big money, at least considerably more than what we are able to.

It doesn’t matter how desperate they are, they still have the same cap to work with.

Two reasons:
1) the journo's make up the numbers to suit their article
2) accessibility to and size of TPA's available when your club is less reluctant to stick to the letter of the TPA rules

There’s tweets in there about Hynes first day at Sharks. The spitting image of Jeff Spicoli

You need to find Bulldog Pou and check his squad succession thread for 2023. They probably don't have $9M spent just yet. In fact they probably have spent much less.

And who is Spicoli’s teacher?

I think I can see the Matrix now

I just had a look on NRL.com's copycat succession article and they only have six big names (plus plenty of reserve graders) signed for 2023:

Addo-Carr
Burton
Cotric
Jackson
Kikau
Thompson

They could concentrate on buying more solid first graders at the $200k-$300k mark or they could feasibly want to sign another marquee on $700k-$800k and surround him with more reserve graders.

Our club has decided on the best way to spend our cap, let the Bulldogs make their own decisions.

We already have:

Blake
Drown
Nrown
RCG
Gutherson
Moses
Sivo

Plus we're trying to fit in Paulo and Mahoney on top of those. Drown and Sivo are player options as well ffs. We can't spend that money until the deadline passes (whenever that is) for them to activate it.

How were we the 4th best side? We finished 6th in the regular season and punted in week 2 of the finals (also top 6).

*6th

No. On the ladder perhaps. But we where the 4th best side as far as taking out the title. We just had a bad 6 week period.

Lol. You can’t take away our bad 6 weeks and not take out other teams bad runs.
