He would, but I don’t think he would be too keen on it just yet, when he will certainly get paid up around a million per season at a few NRL clubs if he does not stay with the Bulldogs. Lachie Galvin has a long way to go before he’s in the same class as Burton as a 5/8 in my opinion. The rumours...

If players can’t see through the BS there is not much we can do about it. The Bulldogs love to pump up their own tyres like they a glamour club where all players get a fair go and all players improve immensely. It’s all BS I think there a real possibility we finish above them on the NRL ladder...

What’s the answer when these young players are generally asking and expecting us to pay above their market value to stay ? On the flip side a player such as Sione has just been loyal and agreed to stay loyal on what is reportedly a very fair price. Adam Doueihi also stayed with us for a very...

I doubt it, I reckon Perth have signed Tyran Wishart to pksy 6, he’s too good to keep playing as a 14.

The way I see it there are tradesman like players who build good stats with metres gained, tackles made etc and there are players with x-factor. On the balance a good team needs more tradesman like players, but it’s near impossible to be top class without at least a few players who offer genuine...

Onitoni Large has ball running qualities of an elite fullback with his natural ability to split or burn defenders with his sheer speed. With his insistence to play 6 we may never know. On the fullback topic, hopefully we have some elite talent within with the likes of Jack Attard, Logan Brookes...

Good point you make regarding the Panthers not really having anyone with electric speed during their premiership reign. However they certainly had a lot more strike power in way of genuine x-factor than what we currently have and therefore I think the speed element becomes much more important...

They do a very informative and knowledgeable podcast with a bit of light hearted banter thrown in, I really like the TigerTown podcast. Both the lads make a very valuable contribution, but I agree that Zac in particular is very on the pulse. I liked his Christian Taupau-Moors comparison with a...

There is no doubt we have rushed too many of our young emerging players over the past few seasons and it has been to the detriment of some of them unfortunately. Being a struggling club for so long, talented young players and their managers think they can place their demands and dictate to us...

Just watched this, Jared is a very impressive young man. Extremely switched on, he comes across as a natural leader.

On the Onitoni and Ashton Large topic, they are currently off contract at the end of 2027. It will be very interested tn see how Onitoni goes in the NRL trial this weekend and it will be interesting to see how he continues to develop, but I’m still adamant he should be transitioning to fullback...

I see plenty of upside in Luke Jack with his effort plays and toughness. He is too small to make it as an edge back rower, so hopefully we acknowledge that and play him as a 13 / 9 where the effort plays and toughness can be very valuable.

Absolutely and this is their chance to show everyone what they have got.

Although it’s always nice to win, we really just hope to see a couple of lesser profile or younger emerging players stand up and be counted and show signs tthey are capable of playing more regular NRL sooner than later. We want Jock Madden to take plenty of control and demonstrate a good kicking...

That was my first impression also. The Roosters young fullback is a flying machine in demand from the Waratahs and the Roosters. Their halves are very good, Toby Rodwell looks to be a massive talent. Their young hooker proved what an immense talent he is playing NRL towards the back end of 2025...

The issue with not retaining Onitoni Large is that it’s been known since he was 15 that he is not only a very talented player, but his speed is elite and over the past few seasons our NRL team have lacked players with exceptional speed except for Bula. Even now we only have Bula that has elite...

I’ve noticed that

Well he has. At age 76 I don’t think he would be as switched on as he was a few years back.

Willison will become their number one prop, but the jury is still out on whether Te Kura is athletic enough and fit enough to handle the speed of the game.

Kaiden Lahrs looks the goods, he is currently off contract at the end of this season and his father spent time playing at the Broncos, I reckon they will headhunt him as one replacement. I am concerned they will also look at the Fainu brothers, Terrell and Fonua, we need to get them all extended...
