Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Bulldogs in for Sullivan.

Sounds like they are changing their plans on the fly. Their salary cap must be a mess. Faitala-Mariner given permission to leave. Oloapu brought in as the next great half. Now he's going to be a lock. Sign Sexton. Now Sullivan. Are ANY of these guys actually improving their team?

As much as I expect the Bulldogs to get it right, I think they are way off at this point.
They did the same thing with the start of their rebuild, a real repeat of Tigers 2017. They are also giving Ryan Sutton permission to leave, who is one a large deal from Canberra, and not re-signing Luke Thompson (who they have not been able to offload).

Basically signing everyone with a heart-beat, mostly ignoring junior development and not able to get results from the handful of juniors they do have (e.g. Alamoti, Averillo).

Throw a pile of names out and hope some stick....

Gus has literally been quoted as saying 'you sign them all and fit them in later'

The guy has no idea how to run a salary cap. At penrith signed the likes of DWZ, Mansour, Cartwright, Latu, RCG, Moylan, Blake, Merrin etc on big long term deals. Penrith only became good once they pissed all of these guys off
 
disagree. only been good at juniors because hes bigger then everyone else. hes basically a poor mans moses suli
I think he definitely has talent, but his game isn’t as well rounded as it should be because he wasn’t developed properly.

he’s used to trampling over everyone and in first grade that doesn’t happen unless you’re a genetic freak. he has pedigree but he needs a Bellamy or a Bennett to get him to what is required.

definitely a project player, but not a project that should play out at WT.
 
If you care: Heard from some insider to Tony Sukkar that he won't be at the club for much longer. Not happy with how it is run and will be off to Parra, Dogs or redcliffe. He is definitely looking at his options to say the least.
Who is this in relation to? I read back a few pages but couldn't figure it out.
