Both great young players and as you say they play with that tough, aggressive style that separates the men from the boys. As a combination I think they are a bit too similar, both predominantly ball runners, therefore I think you need to have Cleary or Moses at 7 with either one of these two at...

You make some good points, his long kicking game has always been very average, but he did have some good success at times with his short kicking game when he was with us. I agree he’s not even close to having the mindset of hitting hard enough to play 13 just yet, if ever as aggression is a part...

Both are good whole hearted young players, but both have issues under the high ball, lack of height also a concern. I was hoping Mason with his experience playing in the halves during his younger days would become valuable as a genuine playmaking, ball playing fullback option, but for whatever...

The Bulldogs fans hate him and I can’t see him turning it around anytime soon. I don’t like seeing young kids fail, but Galvin has brought this on himself and must surely now be starting to realise how good he had it at Wests Tigers. Karma at its finest.

He would add NRL experienced depth and although he never hit any great heights at the Broncis, he’s a tall and mobile middle who should be in the prime of his career. Without offloading one or two players we don’t really have room for depth players, but some better quality depth is always handy...

No disrespect to Tristan Hope, but Luke Sommerton looks to be a much better player.

He’d be an even better fullback. If Bula demands a million dollars per season to stay with us, I know who I’d prefer to spend the money on.

As much as the results have not been good enough and I can’t say I have agreed with a few of his team selections, I don’t think it would make things any better by changing too much at the moment, so I hope we keep Aaron Payne with us in some capacity,

Gordon Tallis’ 6 year old son can kick better than him … LOL. Maybe Gordon can send his 6 year old son down to Concord Oval to give our halves a few tips also.

Do you honestly think Bula or Terrell May will extend with us unless we immediately upgrade them for 2026 ?

Not forgetting we desperately need to upgrade Sione Fainu.

I share your concern, however if we sign a good quality middle as our starting prop or 17 and replace Jack Bird with someone of quality such as Talakai or Stone, I think we become a lot stronger. As I keep saying I would ideally also like one more quality outside back, but that’s probably...

Ok fair enough. My estimated calculations must be a lot higher, but certainly hope you are right.

Based on our current playing roster, the team lists below could be somewhat close to what we will have for round 1 next season. This shows we will likely add one more middle forward, whether that player will be a starter or a bench player remains to be seen. The rumour is we are trying to...

I believe so.

What does our current playing roster as it stands have that will prevent teams such as the Eels and the Rabbitohs from being well ahead of us in 2026 ? I hope you are right, but I think you are delusional if you honestly believe our current playing roster is good enough to make the top 8 in 2026.

We cannot have plenty of space. Add up our cost with the estimated pkayer values and we have viery little left to spend and I was calculating it off a 12 million dollar salary cap.

I don’t think there is much cap space left, so we are limited in way of money to spend as well as limited in decent players being or potentially being available, No idea how clubs such as the Bulldogs do it, their accountant must be much more creative than ours.

Reading between the lines it appears to again becoming a situation where all our players are wanting upgrades before they agree to re-sign or extend with us, then wonder why we have no cap space left to build a better playing roster. We need at least 2, I believe 3 good quality additions to our...

Another one who I think is a bit under rated and has good potential to be a very good 13/9 is Lorima Cosgrave. Nuggety, but has good speed off the mark and very aggressive.
