And he has been quoted as not coming back in the foreseeable future. Why would he? Also I don't think we could afford him. Jmoz is now a real star.

The Dragons didn't have to buy a squad like Canterbury and go to the market previous years. Why buy a back when you have Cooper, Gaz, Moz and Nighty. They had Hornby at F/B but moved him at half and got Boyd. Great business. In the forwards they had Young, Creagh, Scott, Hunt, Prior and filled the rest of the spots with Smith, Costigan, Fein etc. As for Soward they got a half on the cheap and turned him into a gun. Why would they have needed to go to the market with a great bunch of juniors.

As for next season they have allready snapped up Beale. People seem to forget that. He is an absolute gun player and a great buy. They have Cummins coming through and Kyle on Stand by to fill in the boots for Hornby. If Soward goes they will then buy a half. Saints have a great strategy in terms of building a squad and with the quality of players they have PRODUCED not bought like the DOGS and co they have also had to pay to RETAIN these guys. Retaining a player and extending their contract is more or less buying a player. Insytead of getting someone from another team you are paying a guy to stay longer at the club.

Saints have a great Roster and should be in the top 8 with that squad, but with a clueless twit in charge they are 11th. Next season is over too if he is still around.
From a team which was brimming in confidence that they literally just played the motions each week and won without even having to play a full 80 mins to a team that has not even got the confidence to score a try is a huge turnaround in 12 months.
Hasler has turned the Dogs into a premiership threat with little change to their roster ,him and Price are examples of how a coach can be an influence on a team.From different ends of the scale of course.

lol totally the wrong example. The Dogs have had little change to the roster. We have had MASSIVE change to the roster.

Forget J Moz, we will not get him until he's 30 at the very best. Greenberg is not a shit CEO like ours who lets his best leave the club in their prime. I'd be more concerned whether we could keep B Moz when his next contract comes around.

Greenberg is obviously a world leader in public relations. He has a lot of people fooled. Who let Sonny Bill leave? Potentially one of the best forwards ever to play the game? Idris, Hannant, Mason, O'Meley.

Sonny Bill left as Greenberg started his tenure at the dogs, good luck seeing any CEO have that much pulling power when they've just stepped into the job. Mason and O'Meley both left before he started. Idris was right in being let go, he was offered a ludicrous amount to go to the Titans. Hannant well that's a different kettle of fish, but only one player.

Not saying Greenberg is a good CEO, but you've made some pretty poor choices for examples to back up your point.

SonnyBill did the bolt,Mason and O'Meley were past it and were let go at the right time,ask any Rooster supporter.Hannant's missus wanted to go back to Brisbane and Idris went for the money.
Greenberg bought a successfull coach in Hasler who has bought massive improvement to the team.He has also turned around the club so despised by the public because of crowd behaviour and Coffs Harbour to a well run club without controversy.
Your comments are absolute crap.
By the way i also despise the Dogs,always have.

You have just repeated what i said.Also the point i was making is the difference a coach makes to a team.

What Greenberg has done, or is currently doing, is repair the brand of the Dogs to the point where players now want to go and play there.

It's what is Doust's major shortcoming. Our brand should be the greatest in the game. He hasn't sold it properly.

We should be the Man U of Rugby League. But we don't have someone with the smarts to sell it to the public.

x 3 on J-Moz. Every season he spends away from us, is another season develops and even closer bond with the Bulldogs club and playing group.

In all honesty why would you leave. Hasler as coach, that forward pack, and Barba in your team. All things going their way the Dogs will have a Premiership in three years.

Looks like my dreams over re Morris...I hate it when someone talks logic.

Mate, they could do it this year. They played badly for half the match tonight and still dumped on the Tigpies.

You're right 64, they're in with a chance. I have a grudging respect for them and Des, and Barba's cool to watch. It's good Josh is playing well, we sort of had four Dragons to cheers for in Origin the other night.

1) Doust bought Bennett to the club. Premiership
2) Greenburg has been desperately buying all or anything he could get his hands on for some years now. Donut so far. Hasler this year might, note might, turn it around.
Has not happened yet. He is not a proven messiah yet, and Greenburg hasn't got deity status just yet either. On current results Doust > Greenburg.
3) For the gazillionth time, there is absolutely no relationship between Gaz staying, going, vascillating or the timing of any or all such events and JMoz. FACT. JMoz was entirely Bennett's decision, a sound one for sound reasons at the time, but shown to be wrong in hindsight.

My hope is that by some miracle if things somehow things click in attack, we'll make the finals. We've got the defence.

I can''t see it happening tbh. Confidence is definitely an issue, & the amount of drop ball doesn't help.
