Well where are we as a club then?
"others are now wanting out, claiming the tough training schedule. One player stated that he was forced to wrestle several players non stop at training after turning up late to training ."
Our players must love our training schedule. We are Absolutely BUTTERSOFT on the field.
Marshall and Morris have to up the ante and we know Madge up'd the training but did not get the results.
Oh blame Cameron Ciraldo for training the Bulldogs too hard, yes he has to understand mental illness.... Yet he is training them hard to get them out of 15th.
What are we doing?

FOX TROTS OFF?
There has been some conjecture surrounding Josh Addo-Carrās future at Canterbury in recent days.So much so that he was the talk at the chief executiveās conference on Wednesday with suggestions a third party had been offering the representative winger to rival clubs including his former team the Tigers.
We contacted his agent Mario Tartak who assured us that Addo-Carr was going nowhere and that he had received assurances from the Bulldogs that they had no plans to move him on.

SEA EAGLES GUN FLIES COOP
Manlyās rising star Kaeo Weekes could be on the move within weeks after it emerged that he had been given permission to explore his options on the open market.Sport Confidential understands that the Sea Eagles reluctantly granted Weekes permission to talk to other clubs when it became clear he would struggle to crack a spot in first grade next year.

Let's take them both....

Obviously not enough.
When you look at the top 4-6 teams what stands out to me are size, speed, fitness and resilience.
We really donāt compete on all 4 despite the new COE, and a new strength/conditioning team. Plus, of course, our ever changing coaching roster.
Seems like a total disconnect.

I think youāll find madge didnāt train them as hard as he wanted to for the reasons ciraldo is dealing with now

We look way fitter than them . They look tired. Who gets inspired by ārun you pieces of shit , we are gonna run until we start winning ā . That sux and is actually counter intuitive. Plus itās individual really .
The best way for this is team building stuff . Youāre absolutely burning these guys out maybe even more , but youāre doing it in a positive environment . Everybody is in it together . One is the Madge way , 2 is the Bellamy way . They both think theyāre achieving the same thing , but one leads to division the other galvanises , and leads to buy in .
I think Benji has already found a way to galvanise the team , just simply by the messaging from guys like ice and El Capitan Api. Itās about turning the ship and doing it together .
Even with all the bullshit this year with Benji , sheens , Fulton ,the board etc. the playing group never seemed to have stories of division. Even the coaching change stuff . We definitely do need some more x/o coaches, I have a feeling it was portrayed negatively in the media , but it was probably more about buy in and brainstorming than anything else .
The ts a very stark contrast to whatās happening a 10 suburbs over

Iām just pointing out that I think Madge backed off.
Iād be pretty sure bellamy is no softy either. He has the system set up and runs on the board that no one would question what they are told to do

Fox and Weeks would do us nice
Fox straight on the wing , Nofo to Parra

would love Fox back. few people think heās lost his toe but he is still a brilliant winger who is great for culture around the joint. thereās also something sentimental about seeing him come home.
Lobb is an interesting signing but its an indication of what the club is after in regards to wingers. big and tall, athletic, great leap and can bend the line. he has a bit of work to do but I guess thatās anticipated given he was formerly a backrower. question is what type of contract heāll be given.
Weekes Iām not fussed about. a decent backup fullback and 5/8 but at this point I donāt see a first grader unless heās playing the 14 role. Parramatta might resurrect their X-Factor fullback plan and go after him, which wouldnāt surprise me too much. if we get him, great. if not, not an issue.
all of this is in vain if we donāt free up roster spaces tho. we need to aggressively shop players we think we will be snapped up by other clubs. Simpkin, Kepaoa and Nofoaluma all make sense. each have upside and something to offer. this is where Fulton will make his dough.

Ado Carr is on top end money for a winger and has been poor this year. His yardage carries are terrible and he has lost significant speed (still pretty quick). He has always had poor moments defensively, but having incredible speed has helped him adjust in situations previously. Now with less speed and in a poorer team then Melbourne, he is crap defensively. I would much rather a younger Staines on 200k less a year. We can't have Staines and Ado Carr, we will be forever stuck in our own half with them 2 at the back. Staines is on the up. He will never reach the peak Ado Carr did of course, but that peak is long gone for Josh.

Olam clearly a target,and almost certainly available given what Stom have got coming thru..
Big fan of Olam and wild take him in a heartbeat on last yrs form,but worst centre on field against baby Broncos..moved like a back rower and lacked condition
Past his best by date
Same may apply to JAC who has also lost speed
No more top $ for busted old players looking for a pension

I would believe Weekes would be our target with his Manly connection to Fulton. He is a good young player who adds versatility to the squad.

No helping other clubs manage their salary caps by disposing of ageing players on big contracts to us. Let the Dogs take the hit and I don't believe there is any coincidence these so called issues have arisen at the Dogs who are carrying Thompson, JAC and other large contracts while attempting to rebuild after a pool season.
