Corey Payne

I think his solid. Not a star and not a nuffie. Tackles hard and could improve his hit-ups. In saying that I've seen a few barn-storming runs on some occassions so its there.

Thank you. An honest appraisal. Unlike others that think they have no aroma.
 
Defensively he's good, in attack he's a pillow. Dominated in almost every hit up.

Not worth the coin he is on and once again another poor signing.

and that honest appraisal is exactly why we have not made the top 8 for the past 4 seasons … we have too many players not quite good enough....

but youve been a supporter since 68 ... so ill go with all your opinions .....

He is no superstar but to blame him for us not making the finals is a joke. He is a toiler whos probably on too much cash. Not his problem. His useful off the bench and I think he would be good off the bench next season.

Sarcasm doesn't suit you. I'd just go with venom if I were you :unamused:
 
Everytime he hits the ball up or plays the ball I cant look. Just expect him to knock on. Will be glad to see him walk off the field for his last game next week

I beg to differ.

It's all a matter of opinion. I for one love his sarcasm.

The Bulldogs have signed up former Wests Tigers lock Corey Payne to a one-year deal.

The 25-year-old is the seventh post-season Bulldogs signing following the captures of Dene Halatau (Wests Tigers), Mickey Paea (Dragons), Steve Turner (Storm), Junior Tia Kilifi (Panthers), Blake Green (Sharks) and Tim Browne (Sea Eagles).

Bulldogs coach Kevin Moore believes Payne will add depth to the squad after Greg Eastwood left to play with the Leeds Rhinos in the European Super League next season.

"Corey's an aggressive, tough backrower with good ball skills and as a local junior he was really keen to come back to the Bulldogs," Moore said.

"His ability to cover a number of roles within our forward pack makes him a valuable acquisition to our club."

Payne has played 88 senior games since debuting for St George Illawarra in 2005.

He played 47 matches with the Dragons and 41 with the Tigers.
 
thankyou bulldogs!
We've had some bad second rowers at the club and Corey Payne can take pride in being one of them
 
Yeh very average player the best thing about him was his community work which was A++++++! All the best to him any way..
 
Was never more than an average first grade player and wasnt really going anywhere. Think he'll be up against BRET and Wests next year though…
 
Good luck to him but yeah, one the Tigers more inept signings over the last few years.
 
Best of luck to the guy.

He was surplus to our needs at WT but glad to hear he was able to secure a contract somewhere else
