Best News really. Stef wasn't talking shit. The real deal. Love the guy. Hope he wins a comp or 2. If true.

 

[Tcat]

Kind of glad he's going there. No one gives a shit about Melbourne so Stefs development will seem less significant to me.

Just on Aiden Sezer...if his option has been taken up, we need a 180 from him next year.
His discipline this year has been awful.

Need far more committment and self control next year from him.

I was looking through our charge sheets for the year early today and noticed that

Good, glad smug Gus missed his man

They shouldn't have doubted you, how about you find us a good signing now

 

[kade7]

sezer will play nsw cup next year , will only be in first grade if we have significant injuries

im told stef signed for around 675 next year contract peaking at 800

big nas will be on the move imo (no mail)

Geez zero tackle saying NAS and Kamickaca are both on the outer. I’d take both of them.

 

[hsvjones]

Stoked Dogs didn't get him .....

And no one gives a shit about Wests Tigers. What's your point?

Sezer will play plenty of firsts next year. Unless we are killing it. Sezer will play plenty of firsts next year.

You’ve never had anything to do with elite sport have you? You speak like a fan who has no real understanding of any of this

lol listen to you trying to sound smart and an expert, he’s not in the side for a reason, because he played rubbish. They gave him a go because he was getting all these big wraps against a C grade side and he couldn’t handle it. He played rubbish!! Overrated as well, all this hype and he ain’t done nothing

Respect to @kade7 who broke the Melbourne deal even though all the noise was that he's off to the Dogs.

Good call WETR.

I would think the dogs forum would be in meltdown over Stefano going to melbourne but to be honest Bellamy will make him a better player if he is prepared to listen

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

He could be better than Haas. Could.

We need a total overhaul of our wingers and centres.
I would sincerely hope we can medically retire Olam, we will likely offload Naden and we might as well try and offload To’a also as we are getting no value out of him.
Although Staines has some obvious defensive faults that need to be corrected, I think his effort has generally been very good. If we add some better outside backs and he’s not guaranteed an NRL spot if he continues to be an issue defensively, that could potentially bring out the best of him.
As they both have top 30 positions we need to ask the question will Josh Feledy and Solomone Saukuru be ready to be genuine NRL contenders from the start of 2025 ? We know they are both young and both have plenty of upside, but we are desperate for quality of depth to ensure nobody playing NRL can be guaranteed their NRL position if they are not playing well, therefore our fringe players need to be NRL ready.
Here are some players looking for better NRL opportunities who would significantly improve our depth if not forcing their way into our NRL side;
Jeral Skelton- Big, strong and powerful specialist right winger.
Mikaele Ravalawa - Big strong and powerful winger who mainly plays on the left.
Ronald Philitoga - Big, strong and fast emerging prospect from Q-Cup.
Allan Fitzgibbon - Fornerly with us and sacked for off field issues. He looks to have natured and is a much improved and much more complete player since he was with us. Up there with the fastest players in the game, his hit ups and physicality is now very strong and is a try scoring machine.
Jordi Mazzone - I have only seen highlights of him, so unsure of his all round game, but he’s tall, strongly built and lightning fast. Not much possibility of him playing NRL at the Bulldogs, there would be better opportunities for him with Wests Tigers.
Taylan May - It is well documented he cannot be registered to play NRL unless he is found not guilty with his pending court case. IF he gets cleared his playing style is exactly what we need in our centres being strong, fast and aggressive.
Eli Clark - Another one currently at the Bulldogs, they are not regularly running up big scores in NSW Cup for no reason, they have plenty of talent under their NRL squad and he is another one who is strongly built, has good speed and height which makes him equally at home playing centre or wing. He looks to be a very solid and reliable defender and is a very good goal kicker to go with it.
Jordan Samrani - Yet another current Bulldog. Very tall, strongly built, weighs over 100kgs and has good speed to go with it. Very much like a Jacob Kiraz clone, the Bulldogs cannot fit them all in their NRL side or keep them all.
Sam Stonestreet - Very tall and lighting fast, he’s a definite regular NRL winger in waiting. Playing NRL for the Sharks this weekend with Ronaldo being injured and as he is contracted to them for 2025 they will not release him early, but I would be matching him very closely with an eye to pouncing on his signature as of November in regards to 2026 onwards.

So from that I take it your satisfied with Bula at Fullback?

Lets not get delusional now Lol
