There wouldn't be any club loyalty at the Bulldogs. Players won't know if they are coming or going and just go around in circles. Ciraldo seems lost and Gould as usual having too much to say. Getting players to come that are "better" than what they have and will do anything to turf them out will hurt them in the end. Even Tevita Pangai Jnr I think was told to pack his bags with a bit of pocket money given to him on his way out to take up boxing - oh yeah that will last him a year or so and then what? Go to another NRL club and hopefully kill it.
Surely that a rhetorical question DD?
Yes, I guess I'm just raising a point rather than seek an answer to what I said H of D. Gus is untouchable and while stuff doesn't stick to Teflon, the club will stick to him.
100% It is. Its being burned by saying oh ok that person would probably go alright...lets me optimistic about that signing - only for a mediocre let down of a season to follow from said player x about 15!! Also when you see what other sides are doing, including those towards the bottom, its hard to stomach not even One marquee signing. So ill stay quiet in future and just wait and see.
Duncan, 21, is a back rower or lock. I took this from his rather old bio. That is where the confusion arose. So in the intervening years he must have bulked up if he is now playing prop which is not even shown on his profile nor is his weight.
Pretty please Justa. Finau looks a gun. How has Feagai not been shown the door like his brother???
Is it club or coach though? Because I reckon Wayne Bennett gets the credit for turning Weyman into an Australian Rep. I don't think the club was a factor other than being Bennett's employer at the time. Same with Duges - Mary gets the credit for turning him into an Australian rep centre. The club definitely gets credit for Packers rehabilitation and his return to the NZ side. Hook gets credit for making Mary look good.
totally agree, that is why i have said for a long time lets focus on our juniors and build our own marquee players, after all we have produced many of the greats. This hunting for that illusive player that actually wants to come to the dragons, and we have to offer a lot of money to get them there really sucks, and we get possibly nothing for it. Our future is and always was our juniors
I remember big Mick getting interviewed after we won the GF. He credited his form to Wayne Bennett. He said Wayne made the game simple for him. Apparently when he first signed, Wayne told him, just pick the ball up and give me 10 meters each set, that's all I expect from you. The rest is history.
Looks like Addo-Carr and Gould have made up and will be a Dog for years is what they have reported after their meeting today.
This is what I figured was actually happening.. just one of goulds chats about professionalism.. similar one to Pangai Jr got, granted that didnt end particularly well.
Just my view Dragon David, but I have heard all of this stuff with previous players where Gould has been involved in the past, only to see it all go pear shaped down the track.
I'm pretty sure he wants to play fullback.
