No chance. The changes would not of impacted us losing Luai. If anything he may of been holding off until this was resolved before making his final decision.Thinking low probability now.
Probably the only casualty from the changes.

The dogs finished above us in NSW cup, flegg ball and matts last season. They don't have huge numbers but they have got some quality at the moment.Wheres his junior nursery this time? He had that luxury last time.
Hopefully.No chance. The changes would not of impacted us losing Luai. If anything he may of been holding off until this was resolved before making his final decision.
I don’t think so either. But let me rephrase. If he was keen to sign with WT originally. The changes wouldn’t have put him off, only strengthen his confidence in the club putting in place the necessary pillars for successHopefully.
But don't think so.
So they need to free up ~1.5 million at least to even get close to making an offer, and that's not considering how much of RFMs 700k they have to pay to offload him, same with Jac.Hi All,
the mail has stayed the same with Jerome
dogs are looking to offload RFM and JAC to sign him and a middle
the relationships with ciraldo / critta / burton / kikau / salmon are all too strong especially when a longer deal is at play
still more to play out / no offer has been formally made by the dogs
So the offer has been withdrawn…how do you feel about that?Gotta disagree with many. When I reflect on the amount of go forward and dominance of our front rowers this season just gone, I can’t say that they impressed me all that much. Compared to the best props in the game they were far less effective and certainly were rarely enforcers on the field. Klem struggled with yardage at times and Uto was inconsistent. Twal tried hard but isn’t necessarily busting tackles. Pole is great but still needs to increase his output, involvement and minutes.
Realistically AFB is miles ahead of our guys based on current performance so to say we don’t need him or that he wouldn’t make much difference, I believe is BS.
Over $1m is a lot to pay for a prop, I will concede that. However, he might just inspire & lead our pack, and could just drag our current front rowers up to his level.
Maybe read the comment - what has Fulton said ? Not articles about, not people talking about, not hearsay and not speculation here but what comments has he ACTUALLY made ??Can't figure out if you're trying to act smart
or have been living under a rock lmao.
There's been friction since the appointment
was made behind Benji's back, it came to
a head when Fulton wanted to sign Schuster.
Articles & people talking about this exact
issue for months must have alluded you.
I'm backing the coach, not the recruitment guy.

They might have wanted to win, but it’s amazing how few clean sweeps have been achieved.QLD wanted that win. A clean sweep is a kick in the nuts. They wanted to deliver that.
Common sense prevailed paying a prop way overs when we can pick up an above average or develop one of our own for a third less. I am hearing that Luai is done so at least we are trending in the right direction. If we can add a back or two at least we will be more competitive than previous years.I don't think we were ever getting AFB or Luai. We're not an appealing club for the best players. I'm guessing Richardson withdrew offer because he wants to stop us looking so scattershot, desperate and hopeless in our approach. We've literally targeted and not got all of the major free agents over the last few years. Being a bit more judicious about who we target can't hurt.
Great post.

Until the season was effectively over two thirds through, our forwards were doing a fine job. Our yardage and field position was fine.Gotta disagree with many.

Part way through the year we had more play the balls in the opposition 20m than anyone in the comp, so the forwards put us in position. But, we had the lowest tries scored because we just had the worst halves to ever play NRL.
Managed to lure the NSW origin hooker here with money, be a change agent, be a leader, be the main man...so it can workI don't think we were ever getting AFB or Luai.

I hope your source is on the money @ROZELLE.O.G & the Bulldogs board member's son that @Tiger_Yoshi knows was pulling a swifty!.Common sense prevailed paying a prop way overs when we can pick up an above average or develop one of our own for a third less.
