Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Kelce68]

According to some of the leaks from one of the Bulldogs top 30 members, the announcement of Stefano joining the Bulldogs is on Friday (tomorrow)

I'm not convinced that the long-term rebuild of the Bulldogs has been achieved.

They're having a great year, but I'm not sure it can be repeated next year, much less go to the next level required to be competing for a premiership.

They are objectively doing far, far better than us right now. However...

I would love nothing more than to meet them in a Top 8 dogfight over the next 2 years and see Stefano be on the losing end.

A life lesson perhaps.

I’d be smashing him with the Judas comments this week. The guy is a like a pretty strong catholic. Judas comments and pillows. That’s how we get to him.

i have a feeling taylan may will be the outside back that richo has made reference too

No one can sign him for another 8 months, we can't rely on him not being found guilty. We need to sign someone but can leave a spot free in case he's available

This isn’t mail - but I have a feeling we’ve at least reached out to Val Holmes management to gauge how much he’s after.

Makes too much sense to ask the question at the very least…

What happens if Tylan, To’o and Talagi all sign with us?

I will jump the fence at Leichhardt in my birthday suit and do a lap of honour!

 

[Nonotmeagain]

I am always amazed about how we lose it if one our "juniors" (ie Galvin) wants to leave but have no problems targeting the juniors of other teams (ie Talagi).

 

[balmain boy]

Also has a lot of C U Next Tuesday in him.

Not a nice guy.

Sounds like exactly what we need.
Madge, Sheens and Pascoe went about signing nice guys, sometimes you need the mongrel and it's a reason why we're so pathetic, no one has aggression

I loved the 4 year superannuation plans that Sheens rolled out. Pure sheenius!

I can’t wait for those headlines; Eunuch with a Tigers scarf invades Leichhardt oval, Tigers member and pecker plastic surgeon offers free extension. 😁

Love Richo's comments about getting players who are 'in for the fight'. Some players who are available/get-able that I would target are:

Corey Horsburgh (Stef replacement)
Suia Wong/Egan Butcher (Papalii replacement)
Dylan Walker (Bateman replacement)
Josh Addo-Carr

 

[Tucker]

No big loss , same as Papi and Bateman , there are players under contract and off contract that will come up
Richo says nearing a completed deal with a player currently so thats 1
he can replace these no problem as they have all been poor this year and did not assit the team at all, he can announce it now , who cares

This is a very poor take.
You should be wary of making such calls when we have no replacements for them.

Yea, we should set an example and not target any juniors at other clubs in the hope other teams won't target ours in return. I'm sure that will work out well for us.

Thanks for the news.
Personally I don't care where he goes anymore. Means nothing to us. Ciao Stef! Enjoy the 3rd world facilities at Canterbury haha

I'm with you on this.
I reckon next year they don't make the 8

What's hard to understand??? If course we don't want to lose our best, and the other way around, we want the best we can get from outside the club...

This is nonsense. There are plenty of players who are 100% committed on the pitch without being scumbags off it, and vice versa. Look at Luai: absolute pest on the field, seems to be a really top guy on his own time. Jared Waerea-Hargreaves is another: one of the game's leading enforcers for more than a decade, complete cleanskin personally. There's nothing to suggest wife beaters offer more "mongrel" than anyone else, just that they like picking on people who can't stand up to them.

I rate walker as a middle forward. Great for momentum, good leg speed and play the ball

I'd rather tevaga

Disappointingly, I've heard that an early offer has been rejected.

Pole and his manager have us over a barrel now. And don’t they know it. I reckon Pole will get $800k or close to it on his new deal. We can’t afford to lose a decent young middle. They will screw us for everything (which they are entitled to do).

Should have got the deal done before mighty boy answered.

Yea well let’s hope it’s about the money for the reason Kelce’s source has said he rejected. Id prefer that then to hear he wants out to a better team like Stef, but then again $800k is too much for him
