We have to stop looking at desperation signings. Every signing has to be with an eye on the future. Players who are been shown the door by their current clubs have a big red warning sign plastered over their melons in 99% of cases.
As a club we have to make massive improvements in identifying...
Nothing will change while the HBG are running the show. Every year it is getting harder to compete because we are so badly under resourced and under funded. Most clubs have numerous paid scouts all over the East coast of Australia, we rely on agents sending videos of their clients who can’t get...
This weeks team probably could have kept Penrith to 50. The Gold Coast chargers will win but we should get within 25. Let’s pray for a miracle at the eight wonder of the world
No but they have had a reasonable stable roster. Okay they have had Turbo out but that’s nothing new. Okay there is no excuse for total capitulation like yesterday but if you took the four best players and a couple of regular top graders out of any side your in for hard night at the office. Iam...
Under the salary cap it’s really hard to build up great depth. Teams like us have to pay overs to assemble a competitive top 17 leaving very little to attract the depth required to cover injuries and suspensions.
What gives me hope is we seem to have some real talent coming through the Flegg...
We got a massive belting today but not unexpected considering our best middle, best edge, best 7 and best centre were missing on top of a few others. This of course has a domino effect thru the grades and we were not thrashed in reserves and Flegg were within a converted try. This was all...
The Dogs success last year was based on a game plan that had them well inside the ten in every defensive set that for the most part was ignored by the refs. They are a team of battlers that lack speed and skill. They will have a dig, but to blame rule changes ,referring decisions and injuries...
I think someone posted yesterday that the contract values the press talk about are seldom close to the real amount. I agree with this 100%, it’s often done for a purpose. It get clicks, it blows the manager’s tyres up and it inflates players expectations of their value. Like with most things in...
No blow outs and no injuries is all I want. A win would have the NRL calling for an inquiry and checking for any suspicious bets!! At full strength it could have been a real contest, but with our injury toll we will struggle to get within 20
You would think all the negative stuff Galvin is copping, from far and wide and from inside his club and outside his club would be playing havoc with his mental state. Funny enough it’s seems like water off a ducks back to him. It either shows he is incredibly focused and can shut all the...
Reading the report I see The name Kade Dykes playing for the Dogs. Seem to remember we had a real shot at trying to get him when he left the Sharks. He must have been over the moon when Gus signed Galvin knowing Woods will be the no7 and Galvin the six moving forward.
Seen a lot of young kids come through reserve grade and go onto to be elite players, Andrew’s is going to be one of these players without any doubt. I even think he could get the job done now at NRL level, but I think the slow steady approach is the way to go. My only worry is are we developing...
We desperately need some speed that can take advantage of the work done by our 9 6 and 7, Averillo gives you that. Throw in he covers all backline positions bar maybe 7 and can kick goals. Sure there are better centres around, but they are not off contract and if they were would most likely not...
