Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Go back and watch his double v the Sharks, his match winner on Easter Monday or his slick tries in the trial and rd 1. Throw in his exceptional cover defense, high work rate and safety under the high ball. Critics are on the woopy weed.

He’s our only real attacking threat.

I rarely see any threat and we are the worst attacking team in the NRL, but optimistic I will witness much better attack from all our players on Saturday.

I just gave you multiple examples but whatevs.

Hopefully Charlie has studied what the chalk looks like this week.

What part do you disagree with?
Have a closer look at him when he chimes into the backline. The attack generally breaks down IMO.

Sounds like you expect him to make a line break every time. In reality that’s not how the NRL works because defenses are skilled. He pulled apart the Sharks, scored a match winner against the Eels, scored a nice try against the Raiders and the Dragons in a trial too I recall . On facts, he’s doing well.

Im on the fence about Sivo, he looks busted will be over 30 if he comes. But he fits our MO of not blocking a youngsters path, in saying that i don't think we have any massive wingers coming through. Maybe the Willet kid fits that mold but i thought he was more a 1 or 6.

As long as he stays on the other side of the fence from WT I will be happy. Has been very good and was even great for a while, but those days have passed and better future opportunities lay elsewhere.

Literally no one has said that about anyone else in the history of the forum.

Does Brooks count? A lot of people on here had opinions on him as well. Myself included, but I never bagged him early in his career like some on here have with Bula.

Some on this forum say we're blooding our juniors too early. I disagree. The cream rises to the top and we should blood as many as possible.

If done correctly, such as giving them a proper off-season to prepare, then yeah, all well and good.

Certainly not like the rushed from Harold Matts, then upwards through to an NRL cameo of Matamua at the end of another disastrous season, which doesn't do anyone any good for mine.

Seriously. He’s young and not the finished product but you’re off your head.

I love Bula but for me sometimes I get the feeling he wishes he was playing in the NBA and is settling to play league because he is good enough to. I just don’t know if the passion is there.

I can see what you mean a little in his demeanour but his cover defense is all heart. His actions and his involvement stats tell a different story to the look that’s sometimes on his face.

Yet another player various people on here were desperate to sign because they don't understand the concept of ageing.

Has an unheralded Sharks pack sitting in a nice spot. I always thought he was a standards setter and think he could have improved our culture significantly.

He’s not Walsh or Ponga(injured again ) ….. so he’s “overrated” . I remember a time when Edwards and Papenhuyzen were shopped because Laurie , Staines , Drinkwater and Hughes were higher in thier teams pecking order and they were just placeholders till they arrived in first grade ……

A perfect place to silence any critics this Saturday afternoon at Campbelltown that’s for sure,
On a more relevant topic, I just noticed Jeral Skelton getting massive wraps on a Bulldogs fan forum, plenty of them want him in their NRL 17

Hopefully the Cambo curse will end … but no easy task against the Broncos.
Agree re Skelton… only hear good things.

If you're in the 30 you would have had that pre-season training to prepare. My thoughts are, that the sooner you experience first grade footy the better you are for that experience. Win, lose or draw.

We're not going to win a premiership this year and it would be a miracle if we even make the eight.

So IMO we should use this year to blood our future side.
 
We’re top heavy with halves in 25. If we were to lose one it’s probably Galvin. He’s by far the lowest paid and at this time the only one worth poaching.

He’s contracted so plenty of time to lock him up and bump his salary if he keeps on performing.
Sezer is only contracted for this year and the way things are going you would think Bud would be looking for an out… or accept he’ll mainly be in Reggie’s.
