Less than 6 months ago .. Pangai Jnr tore up his $750K contract with the Dogs to go boxing .. now the Broncos want to pick up Pangai for around $350K .. i would love to see the NRL grow some balls and say to the Broncos .. sorry he's worth $750K .. that's what you pay .. !!

Or grow some real balls and tell him his only option is the Bulldogs.

It wont be long before the ErrorGraph associates us with the May brothers .. !! Terrell would make a fantastic impact forward .. i'd have him as a starting prop .. he's strong, aggressive, tough and young enough to keep .. sign them up for 3 years immediately .. ;-)

I think we'll be ok eventually, but I do like May on a 3 year deal as it means we're not rushing guys like Miller, Fa'agutu, Kit etc. he'll be tough to lure over here tho I feel.

Be good if we could lure Suliasi Vunivalu back from rugby. Hasn't seemed to set the world on fire in that code so I just wonder if he could be tempted?!

off contract this year as well. definitely worth a chat.

I feel like he's the new Curtis Rona, but I do think we'll have a chat with Caleb Clarke. off contract at the end of the year and did some time with Souths in the preseason... Souths do have some players leaving at the end of the year that will free up space but I think they might struggle to find him a spot with AJ and Munro locking down each wing.

Pretty sure we got extra cap space exemption for merging or some such...
(The fact they all left as soon as the money dried up indicates as much)
Memory is a little hazy - Long time ago

Can't believe this isn't discussed more often, Top of the game when he left....
Might have lost a little desire playing with the collared shirts, But I loved him at Melbourne...
He was ferocious almost... Rare trait in a Winger.

I was lucky enough to meet the Wallabies players before they headed over to lose the World Cup. I asked Vunivalu what code he likes better, Union or League and his reply:

"Well, I win more games in NRL..."

Having brothers can be complicated in ways we can't see upfront. It hasn't worked out well for us in the past with the Leilua's. We've already got the fainu's.

I'd be giving the May's a miss. We don't want uncessary roster complications right now.

We have a few brothers at the club in 1st and junior systems.

Wonder how Dean Blore is going with his brother now gone.

I think he will want to give the new Rugby Union coaching regime a chance this year.
Maybe 2025 but can’t see him moving in 2024.

If he does come back to the NRL I hope the Broncos do try sign him for 350k and the NRL forces the Dogs into honouring the rest of this initial contract, 400k, which they illegally forced him into breaking due to a fake retirement against his will.

That is the only justice.

Everyone could see the sham unfolding, the NRL can't ignore blatant corruption and cheating.

Ummmm they can, and they will!!’

Either way, whether they paid him or not (there's not a chance in hell he got no payment) it was a deliberate, club orchestrated move to cheat the cap. If a player retires and a contract magically gets torn up they should need to go the length of the original contract as retired before any come back is allowed.
Still, if he comes back to the NRL part of his salary should be under the Dogs cap, even if they did illegally pay him out. They did the wrong thing and should be fined the difference between his dogs contract and his new one

I agree but won’t happen!
 
May bros have that bad-boy edge to them but I believe we get that in the Fainus already. We have a lot of good young mids coming through and already a few midget wingers on our books. All of the May brothers have some pretty neat skills, yes including Tyrone (he has a really good passing game). But I feel we are pretty well equipped in their respective positions. Let the bulldogs overpay this time!
