So Brian Kelly is on the bus, Moses is about to pick up his ticket…we still need a backrower, prop and maybe a utility...just hope the smart signings continue.

So the Kennel now is saying they are close to signing Nick Meaney to replace Mbye - According to some on here it was a done deal here with Meaney. Aah the vagaries of NRL signings - its what keeps forums guessing.

Or Tui becomes your utility on the bench. Kelly Egan mentioned the Tigers were after a utility. If you're looking to recruit one, you'd have to think the idea is you play one.
Given the chatter around reduced interchange, you'd think future benches would include a back/utility.
Yeh - not sure Moses should be earning the reported figures he is on cause dont think he has excelled in any of the positions he has played in - although he has been expected to.
He is fast which is something we lack but so does the Bulldogs and behind a big pack he has been hardly setting the world on fire.
Handy player to have in your squad no doubt, but not sure he is a player that can turn things around for you.
Trust that Cleary has a plan, and hopefully Mbye will respond.

Mbye was supposed to be the greatest thing since sliced bread when he came onto the NRL scene, this is why the Bulldogs put so much stock (and money) into him, forsaking so many others and getting into a financial mess.
He certainly hasn't lived up to the hype so far, but that could be more to do with team dynamics and the coaches he has played under, rather than a real lack of talent. I think his game at fullback has already improved under Pay this season, even though he is still playing in a struggling team.
It's now up to Ivan, and of course Mbye himself, to unearth the 'diamond' that the Bulldogs saw in him a few years ago when he first began. Getting players to realise their potential hasn't been our strongest suit over the years, but things are a bit different now with Ivan and the new coaching team onboard, so here's hoping.

I think he's a solid buy and if all reports are true the Dogs paying $250K of his salary is even better. In the games I have seen so far he has been one of the Dogs better players and his character seems to fit into Ivan's long term culture regeneration. All in all, a great choice and I wish he was joining us this season.

I'd be looking at one of the Sharks' youngsters (perhaps Katoa) if Barba comes home. Also the Eels' prop Alvarro, continues to improve and would be worth a look with reduced interchanges.

Haha see your stirring the pot over there with your Nathan Milone suggestion as a replacement.

Unbelievable signing if true. Only 24 years of age, has speed to burn, can play fullback or 5/8, can kick goals. For $550k an absolute bargain. Well done Ivan , doing things our previous coach could never dream off.

You cant say that for sure
We still have positions available
We still have money to spend
How much is the ?
And we have players coming off contract which will give us more money to spend
Does Ivan invest in no name players or is he after a proven player that can step straight into the team
What other clubs still have the big $ and are lacking 2nd row forwards
No one knows that for sure AT THIS STAGE
