A little harsh but…. :laughing:
 
Wary of another Des Hasler blow-up, Queensland coach Kevin Walters will call the NRL mentor before deciding whether to name Bulldogs playmaker Moses Mbye as a shadow player for next week's State of Origin III in Sydney.

Walters said Mbye or Manly's Daly Cherry-Evans would be considered as a "Plan B" if veteran prop Nate Myles failed to overcome a knee complaint for July 13's game three in Sydney.

Myles was named in Walters' 17 on Monday along with debutant backrower Gavin Cooper.

Walters was confident of Myles proving his fitness but admitted they would need to name a shadow player in the coming days to ensure they did not put the likes of Hasler off side.

Hasler launched a stinging attack after he was forced to pick a player less than 24 hours after they completed a NSW Cup game when Josh Morris was a last minute Blues call-up for Origin I.

The Canterbury coach claimed the NRL played second fiddle to Origin after Reimis Smith answered a last-gasp SOS when Morris replaced Josh Dugan in the Blues camp in May.

To avoid a repeat, Walters said he would contact Hasler to ensure he was not stepping on toes in the lead-up to top four outfit the Bulldogs' NRL clash with Wests Tigers on Saturday night.

"We will give Des a ring," Walters said.

"He has his heart set on the Bulldogs and we respect that.

"We don't want to interfere with the clubs.

"But if Moses or whoever comes into the side they have a great opportunity to work with some of the best players in the world.

"We will cross that bridge when we get to it."

Walters admitted using a bench utility had been a "game changer" for Queensland in their successful past.

But Walters claimed his preference was to unleash an all forwards interchange at ANZ Stadium in a bid to seal a fifth series whitewash.
 
Since when does an Origin coach contact a player's club coach to get the OK to pick him so as not to "tread on anyone's toes"?
Dessie has them running scared obviously.

Christ, with all the blubbering and bleating that Unca Wayne has dished up around Origin time every single freakin year no Bronco player will ever play Origin again while the old fool is in charge.

I think you will find Moylan will come in and play 5/8th.
 
I just seen Moylan is coming off the bench, Jack Bird to 5/8
A fullback on the bench…...
So who does he replace?

Moylan would be replacing Jack Bird on the bench wouldn't he?
Cartwright would of been better utility value off the bench than Moylan IMO.
 
MOSES Mbye looks to be headed out the exit door at the Bulldogs, with the star utility reportedly agreeing to a deal to join the Wests Tigers.

Canterbury have been forced to shop around some of their highest profile players due to salary cap pressure and the Tigers look to have capitalised.

According to an Inside Sport report, Mbye’s signing with the Tigers is close to being announced.

It comes at a crucial time in the Tigers’ rebuild with Ivan Cleary’s side emerging from a tough period to be in contention for a finals spot this season.

With Tui Lolohea struggling to put his stamp on the fullback spot, the club has been in the market for a top end No.1 and Mbye fits the bill after an excellent first half of the season following his switch out of the halves.

According to the Inside Sport report the Bulldogs will cover $250,000 of Mbye’s yearly salary, which is set to go above the $800,000 mark next season.

It's pretty much confirmed at this point imo. Good signing if the reports that the Bulldogs are paying around 200k of the salary are true.
 
Seems like this is happening, unlike the rubbish about Rona, Barba, Holmes etc that won’t die. Almost time to start discussing where we should play him.

X2

Upgrade on Thompson at fb imo. I like the signing I think he will fit into the new culture we're building and if they're paying that much of his salary it's a no brainer.
 
I know Cleary will get the credit for this, but the man we really need to thank for this is Dessie. Thank you Dessie.

I think his best positions in order are

Fullback
Hooker
Running 5/8.

His strengths are his speed and running game. He also can throw a quality long pass as half of his older highlights are long balls to Thompson and Rona.

ur right 3 cheers to dessie, without him, all else fails. dessie ur a champ.
 
Some have suggested that we will front load his salary, paying part out of this yeas cap?

Will that then count towards this years squad numbers or do we still need to promote/recruit?
