No one at the Broncos could understand what he was trying to get though to them.

Must have something in mind eh...
Hopefully something better than Staines.

Will be interesting to see Welsby playing at 5/8 for the Poms.

 

[Tigers_Wests]

The Wests Tigers are facing a fight to keep Daine Laurie at the club after confidential was told that the Bulldogs were ready to weigh in with a lucrative offer for the fullback.

Laurie has been offered a one-year extension by the Tigers but his management is holding out for a longer-term deal. That has left the door open for Canterbury to make a move as they look to fill their void in the No.1 jersey.

The Bulldogs have also been linked with a big-money play for Penrith centre Stephen Crichton to play fullback as the Panthers juggle their finances in a bid to keep Crichton, Brian To’o and Liam Martin.

They may be forced to sacrifice Crichton to keep the other two, although they would do so reluctantly. It may hinge on what direction the Bulldogs take with the fullback position.

The club has been unable to nail down a player to fill the No.1 jersey. Matt Dufty, Corey Allen and Jake Averillo have all had a shot without making it their own.

Laurie looms as an option given the status of his talks with the Tigers, who are in the market for a handful of players as they look to ensure Tim Sheens, Benji Marshall and Robbie Farah have the artillery to climb the ladder next year. (Brent Read, DT)

I’d still prefer Schuster over Doueihi.
Schuster can pass the ball and he can also tackle.
P.S. Sorry Demps 😂

I prefer Doueihi.

Thank god

I will have to watch WT games more closely coz I really can’t remember Twal coming of the back fence.
Wholehearted, good tackler but just a steady hit up guy. No flair at all.
Maybe we shouldn’t confuse effort with output.

I think Twal lives in a townhouse in Berala with a minimal back yard so the back fence isn't all that big a deal.

Now men, if you have a ½ and a ⅝ playing together what do we have....1.125, correct, now go out and smash em. 🙂

Nothing wrong with Berala though

From latest news ive heard. Nu Brown has also signed with the bulldogs. Anyone that shows promise at tigers is snatched up by other teams. If we loose Laurie, I dont see staines as a good replacement. He played most of the year in reserve grade at penrith. Got lucky in the gf.

If we signed Brown, we'd have four hookers in 2023's Top 30. Not necessary.

Dogs only have two at present (Reed Mahoney and Brandon Clarke), and one is a 21-year-old kid who hasn't played first grade yet.

I liked Nu this year, but there was a better opportunity elsewhere. Good on him.

Great handle Ivan. Don’t know about Brown but Gus’s recent disclaimer certainly seems to have put the Laurie to Dogs issue to bed.
But it still doesn’t solve the problem of us only offering him a one year deal. That’s for another day.

Shows how average Madge went with Souths towards the end. Siebold is bang average and took Madges 12th place team to a prelim

Well wouldn’t that be a nice outcome for us next year ! Forget about the 8, let’s aim top 4.

Gus also said the Bulldogs were not interested in Ciraldo, they need an experienced coach, and the Tigers offering a 5 year deal was panicking, next minute, Ciraldo signs 5 year deal at the Dogs

Well, when I built my empire at penrith, Gus didnt help me by the way, I kept the best talent, tigers are doing the opposite and its making me cry inside. boohoo

 

[Scare]

With Des fired, and Lees article warning him against litigation, it will be interesting to see what happens now.
I can’t quite get my head around Seibold, seems to be well regarded but left the Broncs on a steep slippery side.
Any opinions on him ?

Somethings weird with seibold this is the second coaching gig he’s got before the head coach got sacked. Definitely destroyed the donkeys and that I thank him for, hopefully he does the same to manly 🙏🏻

Well, he would say that if you read between his Lies - cos they can't offer anything until after Nov 1 so by misleading he is actually probably telling the truth and the Dogs are after Daine for 2024 if not sooner.
