Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

3-4 key players was what he said.

He's got to be in the know, very heavily involved over there & will be part of whatever development Utoikamanu gets.

So, ok. Let's assume it's 3 'key' players. That would be guys that play & have a decent role in the club, I'd assume.

Obvious answer off the bat is Addo-Carr. Skelton is close to taking that spot anyway, saving the money on Addo-Carr at this stage is smart &, just as importantly, Addo-Carr is a Tartak client.

Young prop Chris Patolo is off contract & would be likely to lose his spot once Utoikamanu comes in anyway. He's played around 30 1st grade games in his career & could hold some value.

Liam Knight is also off contract.

Hayze Perham played a lot of fullback last season for the Dogs but can play centre & 5/8 as well- only 25 years old. Has a wicked step on him if he gets to unleash it.

Last name I'd put up is Ryan Sutton. Could this be our English player? He hasn't fit into the Bulldogs style & was told he could leave last year but hurt his knee & neck at one point.

If we come away with Addo-Carr, Sutton & Liam Knight, maybe Hayze Perham, this bolsters depth at worst & I'd imagine we would get at least 2 1st grade squad players there.

Chad I love the names you throw up even though I don't agree on some of them. However, please just drop one off your list, Liam Knight. I don't know what's happened to him, but he is running the ball so soft it's alarming.

The only bit I don't understand is how the Storm who are top of the comp can release back up centre Remis Smith and have enough room to register Stefano Utoikamanu. How the top team in the Comp can take the highest paid player from the bottom team

Because they dont pay top dollar for anyone.

Throw in Jeral Skelton too as the metre-eating winger we crave

Was about to write something along those lines haha. Skelton has to be getting keen for more NRL game time and not being the 4th choice winger. He certainly looks up to it.
All realistic targets mentioned before.
Would be even better if Richo gives a surprise with someone of quality we do not expect at all.

Needs in the off season
Kicking Coach, Strength coaches, Tackling Coaches

Leave Faagatu alone with a bit of hard work over the off season he will develop into a very good first grade player.

100%. It will be interesting to see come Nov 1st as he will be free to negotiate so hopefully we can keep him. I for one have been an advocate for this kid watching him come up in Brisbane and man if we can get this kid developed for First Grade he will be a future star for us imo.

I think we need to get our heads around the fact that come the end of this year players with a year left on their contracts will be asking for early releases.

I shared the same concern as you BP but I think given the money we have, players will be willing to jump ship early.
