So we can't basically line up sponsors to just pay players outside of the cap as a third party agreement

Technically we could sign anyone though. We give them our cap money and any other money they want that we don't have in the cap we can use a 3rd party agreement to top it up, as long as we can find a sponsor willing to pay. Isn't that how the 3rd party system works in theory or have I...

Was one of my fav players before he Joined Canberra. Was an all heart player. Wish we could have him back at lock.

Best thing I heard on the btr podcast was Richo saying we are now starting to promote coaches from the lower grades up. Hopefully that will bring continuity with the coaches and players right through the club. Two decades ago the top clubs would recruit their first grade coaches from their lower...

Anyone in particular Hsv

He's a Monster.

Maybe Hunt as well possibly leaving BWG. There was talk about him being able to look around earlier, you think he might be a chance of moving on aswell?

Remember years ago when he first brought Salford. Sheens was trying to pitch for him to invest in us.

If he digs his heels in there isn't much the Roosters can do. They can't just terminate his contract.

Radley at lock for 2 years as a stop gap, to just buy us time to find someone more long term, I'd do it in a heartbeat. We just need 35 - 40 games out of him in 2 seasons, he should be able to do that easily. If he goes well give him another 2 years. If not we have 2 years to work something out...

In theory we could get away with just a lock if they're a specialist lock who can punch out 80 mins a week. We should have the depth to cover the forward rotation. We lose a bit having to constantly cover lock. Ideally a specialist lock and 50 min prop to help May carry the load would be awesome.

Don't know how long after they come back from the internationals before they're back. They have 2 months off is it before returning to preseason?

No not at all, just wondering in an alternate reality if he did go could Tiny make a good go of it, pure speculation on my end mate.

Anyone know if tiny has ever had a run at fullback, if he did how was he? He has explosive speed and can break a tackle. His defensive reads at centre seem good, everyone says centre is the hardest position to defend at. Just curious if Bula does go, could Tiny slot in?

Disagree I know he's young but I think Mason might be a knock down rebuild unfortunately.

The real question is if it's big enough to fit Ennis head in. He reminds me of a real life bobble head.

Not to sure GNR, heaps of players take unders to stay togeather as a squad. Problems start when one refuses to. As with what happened at Manly when Watmough and others left when Cherry Evans refused to sign for unders when the bulk of the rest of the squad did to stay togeather. Other thing is...

Funny now how many Bulldogs players have become experts in owning pubs.

Don't know why, maybe because when he was a junior for us I saw Stone as a tackling machine, I would throw the chequebook to get that guy back as a lock. He is all heart and unless I'm thinking of someone else he is a great defender and knows how to hit in a tackle. To me no idea why but I just...

I don't blame Mason or Benji, just a symptom of how bad our depth is. In fairness we have lost 2 halfbacks which is pretty rare but we need much better than what Mason can provide atm to step in to fill the breach. No doubt Richo and Benji understand thats why we grabbed Andrews and Madden. Just...
