Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I would sign Taafe , he is a lively player and great back up , Gus is smart , he is going after any quality available and just load them up with bullshit to get them there , we need a car salesman to get some players over to us 😂

Surely the nrl needs to have Atleast a sticky beak into the bulldogs after the allegations of Tino being offered a stake in a pub and the amount of players they’re turning over/signing there’s no way with the current squad and players they’ve signed coming in that club has money for Blake taffe or the fainu brothers

If they're fair dinkum they would mate %100
Gus has walked with impunity for a while now.
Inadvertently stuck his foot in it by calling out
Buzz. He's taken this personally and has been
very critical of Gus from the panthers days lol.
Who's to say they haven't offered similar deals
to current players or signed players already mate?
Don't think we've heard the end of this, I dunno

Let's be fair- Croft wasn't a fringe 1st grader any more than Prince was when he came to us from Broncos reserves.

The Broncos gig didn't work out. He was too young in a too young team. They needed Reynolds. They got Croft.

I think he's a very redeemable player. And Sezar- it's about what the player adds to them team. Sezar is an organiser. A bit dull. Not exactly exciting. But he has a pinpoint kicking game & experience leading teams around a field. Croft is the more dangerous player. And potentially the future 7 when one of our 73 young 5/8's are ready to step into 1st grade.

Compare Sezar/Croft to Wakeham/Brooks. Or Wakeham/Laurie. Or Brooks/Doueihi. Or Hastings/Brooks.

It's probably comparable to Hastings/Brooks. But I'd say it's a superior kicking game, at the least. Croft is every bit the running threat Brooks is.

Agree wholeheartedly with your post The Chad.
2022 man of steel. 15 assists in 16 appearances,
nothing to raise your nose at hey. Coming into
his prime too. It would take some cash to get
a release, but cash is 1 thing we do have...

Agree, what’s the purpose of running a professional footy club? Winning games!
Hat sales, buildings centres of mediocrity and becoming the face of the fedora are wonderful achievements, but you’ll be remembered for overseeing an unrivalled period of decline in onfield results. Time to go!

I like Taaffe. If Brodie Croft rumours are true- they are quite similar.

I don't see how the Bulldogs even interest Taaffe. Is he playing #6 over Burton? #1 over Creighton?

Burton to 7, Taaffe to 6.

That said, Dogs could be just fishing. Gus writes a hard contract and wants to up the star power. ... Kinda unsure how they will lure someone like Taaffe.

Not sure but I think he has the early release clause if an NRL side comes knocking

Ill agree on Croft. I see someone that could be somewhere range between average halfback -> gun for us ... There is potential, there is risk. We need a half, I am worried that he did not perform at the NRL level, but he has performed at Super league level and maybe wants to come home.

Still would not break the bank getting him.

Sezer, REALLY? Aiden Sezer... 32 years of age okay he may have a year before the glue factory...

I honestly do not see how:
sezer/Croft is better then say Croft/Laurie, Wakeham/croft, Croft/Doueihi.
Were talking a player who in 2019 was unwanted in the NRL and barely up to first grade level then.
Sezer/Croft are not playing at the same club.

Reaching into the NRL hasbeen basket works at Melbourne. It 100% does not work here. Honestly I would rather we go Croft/Marshall.

Last week I mentioned Keppie as a player with the right effort & leadership qualities who would add value to our young squad.

“Sean Keppie - reportedly hard trainer, experienced, aggressive, brother or cousin of the Keppies in our CUBS, community award recipient, gettable.”

Is that a relation to the 7 wests SG ball player?

no news mate just going off the article that we are looking at Croft as he has the nrl clause where we need to pay a 100k plus transfer fee if we want him.
Honestly we are scraping the barrel with Croft let alone having to pay for the privilege of getting a release.
If we can't get Trindall then try again for mitchell pearce or Dodd
Croft couldn't play well in the storm system or the Broncos he will not be the answer here.
Would look at Sezer before Croft

I would rather go blind than look at either Sezer or Croft.

We will probably take Sezer. 100k+ is a lot of hat and scarf packages
