His twin brother had a few off field issues earlier in his career (reason why his development was a couple of seasons behind Daniel) but has settled down in the last two years. Daniel has never been in any strife that I recall hearing. I live in Newy and you hear pretty much everything through the grapevine

It’s not the signing , it’s that the dogs get things done while we sit on our hands and wonder why the hell are we getting wooden spoons , Richo and benji speak the speak but so far nothing is happening, papa gone maybe Bateman , stepho looks like going and what the hell have we got to should for it , a bunch of kids who will take 2-3 years to get up to speed . Get of ur arses Richo and benji and get some help before we lose more players
Yeah sure

I hear Richo is off to UK again via South Africa to check on a few Rugba prospects….
If he is big make big outside backs a priority,forget union forwards they are terrible

I'd say you've just highlighted the development path.
Lualili'i will, in time, take the place of Staines, who has another year on his contract.
Staines is out through injury atm, so Lualili'i is playing in his place.

They reckon he's got a lot of baggage... Just what we need another I'll disciplined player

I'd say he can be a little wild.
Thing is- watching a physically tough side like the Roosters manhandle us yesterday- I think (losing Utoikamanu) that the club needs to rethink the strategy.
JWH. Collins. Radley. These guys all sail close, or over, the line. I think we need to meet fire with fire. Horsburgh doesn't take a backward step. Lined up with Klemmer, Seyfarth & Bateman, I think we replace the athletic skills of Utoikamanu with the pure willingness to physically dominate.
For all the critisism of our ill discipline- it's not Klemmer, Bateman going to the bin. Seyfarth...yes.
I think we could do with more front-on aggression.

Just as an aside...while I have proposed someone like Horsburgh...
What if the answer to "who should replace Utoikamanu" is actually an in house option that we constantly overlook?
Against the Titans & Raiders, we had Alex Seyfarth run 143 & 132m respectively, off the bench. His minutes per game are way up now. His tackle breaks are over double where they were 2 years ago. His defence is in the low-to-mid 90% range for his career & he is double his metres in a season on his last 2 seasons.
Has Seyfarth quietly developed into a starting prop?

Has Utoikamanu signed with Storm?
I was happy he went last time , but what come of it stuff all , all we get is lip service that things are changing, but all that’s happened is putting out spot fires on players wanting to leave . Then we release papa with no replacement, word is Bateman going too ,
Totally agree here, i feel since we are going down the path of being a development club we will always be a bottom 8 team and in this day and age that is not good enough!!People can bag GUS all they want but he has turned the Bulldogs around in 3 years and they still on the up, It just don't make sense why we think this will change. Our so called young stars maybe are not as good as we think they are.Sure we jag a good signing every now and then, but that's it we need to keep doing this every year until we get out of this mess we are in.

If we could get Safiti for around 650k I'd take that over paying Stef 900k. Leaves some extra play to go for a jack Williams.
A starting middle of
Safiti, Pole and Williams would do me.
Twal, Klemmer, Seyfarth, Fainu, Miller and Herman fight out for the bench spots.

I am with u he has been a great team player but not a starting player , we need players with bulk , we can’t compete with sides with monster packs , but he is a great player to come of the bench

You've got to be realistic. You need to make room before you know what you have to spend in the market.
IP and Bateman leaving frees up big money for a couple of top line players.
Players come off contract all the time and we always find a decent junior or pick up from another club.

Is Bateman leaving?
