Who? I mean sure, I have heard of Egan and Couchman... But meh. It's the Eels that I suspect will build stronger. Though who knows...

Say you have the next GI or Israel Folau. You see them score 1-2 tries indivdually per game on the wing. Do you: push them to Fullback or Center where they score less? or keep them where they are? Nofo was horrible for us. Because he let through more tries then he scored. But if you had a...

We are improving We have needed, no NEEDED another first class forward and KPP will add something to our squad. Ofcourse new recruit, so don't know if he will go well or average?? We aren't loosing many people. TDS is the only loss. Stability + 1 forward. That may move us to a solid 10...

There is a fair bit that doesn't make sense to the whole AD situation. So it comes up to contract and he plays like Gangbusters. Like seriously could have used someone playing like that for the last 5 years, I mean wow. Ok, then he signs with Issac Moses. Who surely a tone deaf gerbel knows...

Dinnit Turuva say he wanted to play center? Not as worried re hooker coverage. I mean surely we can pick someone up for that spot. We have Api K and enough people around to mould a hooker + Mason can start learning.

All credit to Turuva. No idea why people are debating paying 450k for a winger. He is worth it and brings the value. That said: How good are these two. Love Taniela Tukali, he was AMAZING to watch and just insane. But he was like a bunch of wingers, Merritt, Brett Morris, etc. Gets ball...

Dumb question, why are we just grabbing these 3 players together? I could point to Api on 700k? Luai/Bula (IMHO 100% worth it). But that's 3m in our spine. Or Bird/Hunt who have been fizzers. IMHO, Turuva, Luai and Bula take the field. They would take the field in almost every team in the...

I like the breakdown approach, but I think we need to put blame where it needs to be: Spine stability (1/6/7/9) - I can't blame Benji for Galvin walking. I can however blame Benji for not deciding on Luai+Fainu or AD + Luai. I can blame him for playing Api for 80 minutes! TDS should have...

I just want to say to all the bulldogs fans: We put so much effort into Galvin. We rearranged our team, adjusted our org, he was going to be the key person our team was built around... Then You guys just swoop down and take him off our hands.... I just want to say: THANK YOU :)!!!

Look second half of the year he played great. First half, there were some shockers. But lets see. AD has the attitude of a halfback, more so then Luai. If he can up his kicking game, meh we get a 350k halfback.

I want Marky Mark and I want him for 600k. 100% not paying that 1m mark for Marky Mark.

Look it's fine. As a team we had 1 player in the top 100 paid players. ... But... I think there are 1m backs and I think it's actually a good idea. Players like Jamie Lyon really changed things for Manly. Players like SBW or Israel Filau (in their day) justify that 1m tag. GI for instance and...

Yes, but there are a few qualities of Luai that I like: 1. He is a sniper. By that I mean he can go quiet during games and pick his moment. GI did this during Origin, where he would just blend into the qld line then intercept or go through at the right point when the players were watching...

I see your talking spine, but I don't think it's straight "good" or "bad" systems. Every player we have signed from Parra, has been decent. Twal, Stef, etc. Likewise Easts, every player we have signed has improved here. Flip it, no Dragons player has gone well here. Dogs, very mixed bag...

Are we building culture or a team? I think we are right to ask if Luai is a 7. He really does seem a 6. Sure he wants to be Batman, well Cam Munster is Batman at 6 for the Storm. If your saying "lets punt Luai for a better halves pair in Pezet/Fainu" or whatever flash bang Halves come along...

Yea, but your friends misses should be off limits. It's not smart... But hey it's footballers. Yes some are really smart, but some are Ben Hannant. I think that's a lot of what Wayne Bennett does, just a old man stare "was that a really wise thing to say". Heck we need that on social media.

Ok Jack bird... fair point. St George then us experimented with him in the "front row". It's a failed experiment. Of all the Fringe graders we have, and I will say he is a fringe grader as we are looking to punt him... Jack Bird offers the most Utility value of any player. The titans Stuffed...

I miss the old: quickly offended/quickly forgiven. I.e. I once said "I want my pound of flesh", which offended someone who said "the origins of that offends me". So "I am so sorry, I had no idea the origins of that phrase offended people. I fully retract that statement". To which the other...

Yea... I really think Winger should be the last position we get 'right' with Turuva moving to Centers. Yet I see real potential in Mark N, sorry not potential ... Performance and try scoring ability. You know what we actually want instead of "this guy will be the next big thing in 5 years, so...

I think Silvia H is slightly better. ... But how much do you back your own vs upgrades?
