[Wildcat777]

We should start a seperate thread for Bulldogs Rumours and Contracts? Lot of Bulldogs talk here. And I am sure a lot of Bulldog support would then join this Forum and contribute?

There best players are very good but the quality drops of quickly to the depths of the Marianas Trench

 

[Demps]

You'd only really take ;

Reid, Burton, Kiraz, JAC

Maybe Kikau

Maybe Topine, Casey

 

[Tito Santana]

Hope Junior does well but I don’t see him playing much unless we got no choice. Unless Nofa does something stupid or injuries and suspension come in, I can’t see him making our 17. Staines may even get first crack at wing over him given his speed, unless Staines is playing Fullback.

Yeah not as good as I was expecting.

Still hate em though .

I known how the dogs are able to buy all these players , at McDonald’s if u buy the big Mack meal u get 2 free signing with every one brought, I guess that’s how the others cheats the rooooters do it 🥴

 

[jadtiger]

The dogs are the modern version of the roosters from 30-40 years ago when they were known as the transit lounge.They buy big names every year but have to release the big names they bought from last year or the year before to do it.It does not work very well and only makes the club look bad by being forced to subsidise players contracts to play elsewhere.

 

[Westsboi2019]

It's insane there.

So on the coast you have people training almost daily, but no idea what they are doing. As a friend said "I have no idea what muscle they are trying to stretch in that exercise" (i.e. they were copying stuff off TV wrong.). People divorce and KILL over State of Origin.

The highlands though, OMG. If you get the recruitment right there you will find some guys who make Martin Taupau look weak.

As a Papua New Guinean, you have just scratched the surface. A guy placed his own Daughter as a bet for Origin.

The lack of a school boys system really hurt the game here. We need that up and running so that many kids have footy as a valuable career path. That's why more kids from Fiji are coming to Australia compared to PNG

 

[the_third]

The PNG players have never been exposed to the training or coaching standards in the NRL systems. This means they may take longer to adjust but when they do, you have a very good player eg Marcus Bai. Many play in PNG barefoot and with malaria. The tougher it gets, the more they like it just like Olam.

PNG is in Queensland isn't it?

 

[GCfan]

No that’s Lismore

In this day and age it’s very hard to buy premierships I’m looking forward to seeing how the to different approaches go

Our approach develop young jrns then recruit the odd high end player here and there

There approach by the best talent on the market

I was talking to my doctor a few weeks ago (Marty Roebuck former Rugby fullback) and he took Braidon Burns under his wing for a year while he was a boarding student at Stanies College in Bathurst and was a friend of Marty’s son.

Former Wallaby who helped raise NRL star praise the player

South Sydney Rabbitohs winger Braidon Burns, 22, said he watched his mum struggle with drug addiction as a child while his father bounced in and out of prison.

Agreed, me too. Have a feeling that
Gus is going to screw their cap up
like Raelene Castle, Dib & Dez did b4.

The cap audits are finished now aren’t they? At least until July?
I don’t understand why the NRL isn’t constantly aware of any breaches, since they register all contracts?
