The Rumours Thread

Dogs still playing Suluka-Fifita in firsts....doubt it would be him. Maybe Sam Hughes, Ryan Sutton, or another reserve grader they have no use for

Sutton has gone to the Titans

I think Suluka-Fifita is a player the dragons would want the most if the Bulldogs want Latu early. And if they do, I don't think they'd have an issue letting Suluka leave to go the other way if they get a player they payed alot of money to get next year, 1 year earlier

1. DCE is going chooks - Buzz pretty much confirmed it
2. Why would the dragons release a winger to the sharks when we are already thin on wingers in the first place? Plus, what happens to LKT/Ilias if we get Atkinson in early coz we know Flanno aint getting dropped
3. The most common-sense move to make - as stated in my last reply

DCE to the dogs.

As was i! Kenny Wilson got us.

Was it Johnny Chapman that missed the penalty that would have given us a 2-1 lead?

1. Not denying it, just a rumour

2. We aren't releasing a winger

3. Probably the most likely of the 3.

hes not saying we will release a winger. Hes saying Bulldogs will release a winger. Cronulla would probably do it for Blake Wilson, hes way too good to be playing NSW Cup imo.

 

[sammymills]

A few rumours around:

1. DCE to the Dogs

2. Latu immediate to the Dogs, Dogs to release a winger to the Sharks, Atkinson release to the Dragons

3. Latu immediate to the Dogs, we are seeking an immediate release of a Dogs player (hopefully a forward)

Take your pick.

If this does happen, i hope we get Atkinson early. Hes wasted as an impact player off the bench and its only hurting us (his development) with him not getting regular game time in the halves. With Sele fit, and Fifita fit, Guler will be back in a few weeks, Jett Liu and a few others we dont really need another reserve prop. Cetaintly not one that would be worth ruining the great run our NSW cup side is on by letting Latu go early.

The problem is the Dragons have nothing of value to give the Sharks in return for Atkinson

What he was saying was a 3 way swap. We dont give the sharks anything. We give bulldogs Finau Latu. Bulldogs give sharks an outside back. Sharks give us Atkinson. Win-win-win for all 3.

 

[Gardenia]

David Faffita Dragons was mentioned for 2026 a swap for lawrie

I’ll have cake Thankyou. He’s got a dad bod etc but at least his attitude doesn't suck

its not a win, Tell me where Kyle, LKT, Liddle, Elies fit, cook looks like a favorite although he is getting his arse kicked by Liddle's performance's ' and LKT doing a great Job, then you bring Atkinson in, Would Shane drop his son.
and in my opinion we only have one winger at the club and he is out injured.
I would love to see Wilson at our club unless the Bulldogs are willing to release a decent prop to us, doubt that will happen.

Your number 2 rumour is doing the rounds with doggies fans, they seem pretty convinced they will get Latu early, and they are releasing a player to the sharks (although my doggies mates couldn't confirm who) followed by a release of Atkinson. Seems to make sense to all parties so we can move on with our rebuilds.

I don't really see how it matters because it was what was going to happen for next year anyway. We will get an earlier glimpse of what next year will look like, whether that is good or bad, we will see.

Do you think Liddle would have the same impact he is having if he was starting and making 40 tackles per game as opposed to the mid teens? I bet if the roles were reversed and Cook was the one coming on against tiring defenses he would be the one tearing them up. You have to realise they are there for different things. Cook is there for the early defense and his service (which is better than Liddles), Liddle comes on to use his running game against tiring middles (which he didn't even do against Warriors).

While Wilson is a good player, wing is most definitely not the position we need to be bolstering right now. It is halves and prop.

In this swap proposal we aren't after Wilson.

Apparently:

It's Latu to Dogs
Wilson to Sharks
Atkinson to Dragons
