I am referring to Cleary, Luai and Yeo backing up claims Edwards organises the defensive line at Penrith. WTF are you talking about?
Every fullback organises the defensive line ffs. Do you think that’s the be all and end all of defence? The Panthers could have a deaf mute at fullback and their defensive line would be just fine, for the reasons I gave. Likewise I doubt the Bulldogs defence would suddenly improve with Edwards at fullback. They would still concede plenty from bombs.

I will reserve judgement till our recruitment is complete for 2023.
As far as developing players go however like Pou suggests, we'll if they are all in the pipeline you'd question why we are signing guys like Makatoa,Ogden,Rein,Hodgson. Along with rumours of Frizzel and KE. Both I do not believe.
It would suggest that there isn't to many in the mix for 2023 in the lower levels.

I still reckon Matterson will stay for some reason. I feel him making origin will work in our favour.
Plenty of time to work on our squad for 2023. And of the guys we lost Papali'i is the only guy I realy wish we kept. Kafusi,Stone are only average players. Mahoney is not worth the big coin. Marata I do like but injuries and suspensions seem common for him.

According to Ryan Matterson Brad Arthur hasn’t even talked to him. (Or is it Mark O’Neill that never talks to good players? I forget).

I don’t think Parramatta have tabled an offer yet but I don’t want to get amongst that stuff.

“My manager is looking for the best club for me. It's a headache for him. It’s his job to get all the contracts in line and then I’ll make a decision
.



interesting, in that, there was a source a few weeks back that Matto had a successful talk with the club

Just heard on the radio that we are chasing Frizell and Zac Woolford.

How old is our pack going to be next year ffs!

Fizell is still a decent player on his day, but he is getting to that stage where he can be quite inconsistent due to age and injury.

Add to that that league is a young mans game and that if we add him to our already on the older side pack plus old man Hodgson and the Edwards rumor, then I don't think our forwards will be able to cut it with the better mix of younger and older packs in the NRL.

I just really hope some of our lower grade young ones can step up and be quality NRL players real soon.

The bulldogs are in a real world of hurt and I’m enjoying it. Ciraldo was their number 1 choice and he has reportedly rejected them and is waiting for the perfect job. (I reckon it’s us).

The stuff I’ve heard about what’s happening at the Dogs defies belief. Make your own assumptions.

What a shit club they’ve turned into.

There’s an even juicier rumour doing the rounds that if true (I don’t put much stock in people I’ve heard it from) will blow some of the naysayers on here away.
