Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Hahaha you aren’t upset yet can’t stop responding?…saltier than I thought. I’ll leave it here, you are boring.

Bit slow on the edit

Ok the Dogs have gone out and got themselves a handful of basic level NRL players with experience and people are dismissing them. What they are doing is building really solid depth something that has killed us over the past few years. We have a top 17 player go down and we have nothing to replace them with, the cupboard are bare at present.

Maybe if the pathways delivers in a year or two things might change, but I would be more than happy if a couple of the Dogs signings had come our way

Given everyone ends up with the same number the timing of when they sign means absolutely nothing

Plus we have 23 players signed for next year and they have 22 - so actually no they are not

Seriously? you really want to compare the Dogs signings to ours?

Looks like Lomax staying at the Dragons also which is a shame

$800k … they can have him

 

[Curaeus]

they will make it so he doesn't make origin thst is not real difficult with payne haas and Jake T able to play front row RCG and PauloP

Probably right but Fittler seems to like him. If he still has anything to do with selection, there's some chance of Stef getting another run

 

[Betterdays22]

Totally depends on the size and length of these contracts, and how much they will have to pitch in for the players they have asked to move on.

Bit quiet here tonight..

We haven’t signed anyone?

How far is Galvin away from NRL?He has only good wraps & he is in our top 30 next year. Has anybody seen him play first hand?

 

[Ermo]

Why call the Warriors the wahs?
It is so braindead it’s not funny.

No idea

Yeh, seen him play a couple of times this season in SG.

Think he is in year 12 school. Hard to tell mate he is a class above at school boys, like a lot of the school age boys that are in WT pathways.

Would not be radical to say he is the best school boy coming through. Depends how his body develops over the next 6 months.

WT haven't rushed him in to flegg like some of the other guys. The other guys might be a year older than him just out of school this year. WT allowing him to playout all the school boy stuff, plus made the Australian team.

He will see first grade 2024 or 2025 if injury free for sure.

He looks like a wizard at 6 playing school boys but didn't stand out as much this season in SG ball this season at 6, which he must of played a year younger than most to the team.

I've nothing against any of the dogs recruits and think at the right price they all add value to a roster. I just don't think any of them warrant the "how can they afford..." or "how do they attract..." posts that have been flooding this thread.
They can afford and attract them because they are fringe guys with genuine claims at a permanent first grade spot at the Dogs. I don't think any of them (besides Sexton) would be likely starters here.

The Roosters are going for Sami and Best. They said they can fit them into the cap because of Suaalii leaving.
Everyone keeps defending the roosters saying that players take pay cuts to play for a potential GF winning side but they can't use that excuse if they can't even make the 8.
Gees, I hate that cheat of a club!

Already signed Dom Young and Spencer Leniu too.

Willie Mason mentioned it on his podcast..

He was slamming it too, saying its ridiculous.

Never heard it said prior to 2023.
Very cringe imo

Said to my daughter this arvo that the bulldogs have signed Jaeman Salmon, she replied "so he's a weak gutted bulldog now", had to laugh
