The dogs have grabbed a inform front rower amone , having watched the super league , he has been killing it , we are in need of a big frontrower yet other teams just make better decisions than us , maybe we are so pig headed that our juniors will come good that we are missing out

He did also say - “Unless they are off contract or the club wants to release them”.
So gave him a little wriggling room !

Tom Amone? Yeah I'm sure he'll solve our problems.

I think we should have a conversation with Ali Leiataua from the Wahs. Strong, tall and young centre who is stuck behind RTS and Rocco Berry and can start negotiating at the end of this season since 25 would be his last year. Could also try for early release for next season

Innes Senior might be one worth looking at out of the old dart. 23 this year and off contract, he's 194cm and over 100 kegs and has 10 tries in 11 games this year for lowly placed Castleford. busts plenty of tackles and looks to average around ten metres a hitup via SL stats. 13 linebreaks too, might I add.
@Todd Packer you watch plenty more SL than I, is he worth a look?

100% this is what’s happening , we are stuck in this rut waiting for these super kids , Galvin is one but we need super kids now to play Prop , centre , lock , wing , I’m not sure we have them , pathways is rubbish winning comps is what it’s about , but we live in hope in tiger town
I haven’t seen him play, but that’s the type of body shape and dynamic we should be targeting.
I like Jeral Skelton and Sam Stonestreet for the same reasons, but this bloke could be interesting.

scored four tries against Castleford a month ago, the first one is particularly impressive. take a look.
I like Tom Amone and think he will be a very good pick up for the Bulldogs.
In saying this he’s definitely not as good as Stef and it’s arguable if he’s got as much upside as Sione Fainu.
I think if we retain Stef & Sione and with the emergence of hopefully a much fitter Jordan Miller and one or two other emerging middle forward hopefuls, I don’t think lack of props are our problem.
I do believe we need players with much better leg speed than what we currently to have playing as our 13 and as our edge forwards.
So ur idea is to say the above dribble , that’s really going to help , he is a big body and yes he played with us a few years back but he has come on in leaps and bounds, maybe u need to watch him before putting him down .
He was a good player when he was with us, we didn’t give him the opportunity he deserved.
My question is are we really lacking with go forward in the middle ? I don’t think we are and think it’s the least of our problems.
Sione Fainu is a similar body shape to Tom Amone, potentially a better player, but he’s off contract and we need to retain he and big Stef, otherwise we will struggle up front.

He’s 18. It’s unfair to think of him in terms of a freak like Galvin, TDS hasn’t shown anything either. It’s going to take at least 2 years.

Yeah I like him.

He hasn't had a chance to play in position is what I don't understand. Let him play at lock or 5/8 before saying he is write off. He isn't a hooker, and has only played hooker when forced to internationally

I’ve seen him, he has played for us already. I’d rather develop guys like Jordan Miller than bring in another NSW Cup player.
