Bulldogs sign Kikau 19/11/2021 LINK

Bulldogs sign Mahoney 28/11/2021 LINK

Both never announced on Bulldogs website.


Both do not appear on NRL signings for 2023, whereas plenty do with 2023 shifts in the lists of Broncos, Sharks, Tits, Manly, Storm, Cows, Eels, Roosters, Warriors, Tigers and Dolphins.


Fun fact; Roosters apparently has re-signed Gus Crichton but can't register the 2023+ contract because they are not cap compliant. ^^^ The signings tracker shows Gus as being a free agent for 2023.

Barrett can frame that photo with Kikau as a momento for his time at Belmore. Not much else can be celebrated.

I know you were making a funny but I don’t see that as a functional relationship. Gus wants a really good coach but also someone who is still functionally a Gus yes man…. So @TheRam and @hindy111 perhaps?
BA is Brian Smith. He's doing as good as he can do. Some clubs might not mind him to provide stability and improve the roster until they punt him for a Premiership coach.

If Brian Smith had this roster we’d be going a hell of a lot better.
I thought that Brian Smith deserved better, don't you ?

Hey, are you getting a déjà vu vibe right now ?

Smith had been here for 10 years, did a lot of good at the club but was stale and needed to be moved. Talk about deja vu huh??

At least he made us a contender and was unlucky not to win a comp or two. As for Bea lolololololololol!! 2 whole finals wins in nearly that same time.

I’m getting that sinking feeling, one again that wr are unfortunately hitting that rebuilding phase, with the cowboys, donkeys and possibly the sharks, along with the doggies, and to a lesser degree the tigers (with the inclusion of api and ice) will surpass us in the very near future, it’s just a repeated vicious circle with this club, I think elite players don’t see our coaching staff as up to scratch with no redeeming qualities, hence CRICKETS in regards to new signings, unfortunately we are light years away from the top clubs. So hard copping shit from my wanker rooster mates, themis team is jus a colossal let down I’m glad I experienced 4 premiership, because sure as shit none on the horizon, pessimistic? maybe? has this club given me reason to think otherwise….NO 🥲
