Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[GCfan]

Ah the Lee and board bootlicker himself. Don't you have a car to wash or a suit to get pressed?

Or take another pot shot at AD because you're an insecure fanboy?

Seriously are there any mods in this joint anymore or is thread after thread of this bullshit what we have to look forward to when trying to catch up on some Wests Tigers discussion and updates? I’m pretty over reading dipshits dish out personal insults to people who are just giving an opinion, whether they’re right or wrong. Seriously, someone with any authority take control of this place or watch it burn.

BULLDOGS RECRUITMENT DRIVE CONTINUES

The impressive recruitment at the Canterbury Bulldogs continues with the addition of giant Cronulla Sharks and Newtown Jets front-rower Frank ‘The Tank’ Pele.

The 21-year-old has played only one NRL game for Cronulla but has a cult following.

He weighs more than 120kg and is an absolute powerhouse.

The one thing he lacks is fitness and an engine to play minutes which is something the Bulldogs will be working on.

Gus Gould has also signed impressive Manly Sea Eagles forward Andrew Davey for the next two years.

Not if he continues with the failed Brooks experiment mate

You don't recognise that Sheens, Marshall and Farah know what they are doing?

As long as Papi and Api come, a healthy Douhei, Laurie, Hastings. Stephano U, Pole, Musgrove we will have a decent team in 2023. Kepoa is making a good go at centre, hopefully we can add one more quality signing 🙌🏼

We need another edge backrower desperately. I think we need another back up prop as well. We might need two back-up props but not with Hastings playing at 13.

If we get those additional signings I think with some luck with injuries we can threaten for the 8.

It'll be interesting how Sheens goes in relation to getting the team to gel.

This is bullshit . I posted 3 posts directly 1 after the other clearly stating my position with clarification.
You chose to hone in on 1 of them . There’s i nothing hypocritical about what I have said .
Including calling the linch mob morons . I avoid this discussion most of the time . Because it’s just dribble , and bullying .
And you people are totally incapable of having a real discussion about this .
I’m sick of the homosexual fanboy references because someone slightly disagrees . And the funny thing is , I don’t disagree on the outcome . Just on the hate he gets . If that’s not you then jog on .
But don’t pretend that your post lives in its own vacuum . Because it really doesn’t . And it’s intellectually dishonest , to pretend it does .

I dont give a shit about the 3 posts you've made one after the other. I chose 1 of your ridiculous posts and made reference to it. Get over yourself. Conversation over..

It all depends on the results. Sheens played Johnny Cronk at 7 for a long time and it didn't work one little bit. He bought Blair as a game breaking edge backrower when he was a mobile prop.

They may get it right but the only way we know is how well we perform.

If you find too much dribble from certain posters use the ignore function. Problem solved.

No .. Farah maybe ..
Sheens is an old coot and Benji just likes playing mr popular .
Brooks is shit .. time to move him on even if it means paying full freight

What the hell are you talking about. You replied to a comment out of context and now your doubling down ?
Read the forum . Don’t just jump at shadows .

It includes Marshall and Farah. Marshall one of the great 5/8s and Farah one of the great hooker forwards as well as Sheens.

Agreed.Sheens has a very patchy record at making the right choice despite what some people keep on spreading

Good post .I'd like to see another couple of our young forwards get a go on the bench by the end of the year

Thanks for the tip

Some on here thought Madge was worth sticking with. I think we can all see the change already.

I got the Johnny Cronk thing though . He was just looking for someone to simply pass the ball to Benji , and offer a foil . And Morris did seem like he had a good iq and could do a job .
Benji just wasn’t on the field enough at that point either . He had a lot of injuries during the Johnny Cronk years .
Plus Melbourne brought the wrestle in and the rules shifted so it took a few years for us to find a style that worked , as the nrl killed our 05 style by allowing the Melbourne storm game to become the new norm.
And if memory struck me during that time there was a real dearth in quality halves . Guys like Tim smith and Mortimer, Hodgkinson were raved about . The golden era of halves were all retiring bar Thurston .

Yeah if they finish any lower than top 4 it will be a poor season I reckon.

Still don't have a halfback.

They might make the 8 but won't go any further. All the players are bought. Never works.out.

I think their current fullback goes well even though he’s usually a half. Agree with your thoughts on bought players though. I hope our development model gains traction and we move past them in the next 2 or 3 years

Pele would be a loss in theory BUT I go to a lot Newtown Jets games.

Pele has a huge cardio issue - has an impact with runs first 10mins on the field then becomes a liability, especially in defence. Needs a lot of work.

Off the subject - highly recommend an afternoon at Henson Park with mates.

Love a arvo at Henson, brings back memories of country football grounds. Good beer and good pies

My favourite was steak sandwiches at my local club. Yum! Your right. Beer and pies work too😀

Got the feeling we are going to end up with the odd bulldog reject. Probably the big Pom. Not sure how Gus signs all these players while his cap is in the red for 2023
