Josh has not found the consistency I was hoping would come with experience. If he decides to leave I am confident we have his replacement in CC.

Losing Aloiai is the forward equivalent of JAC..

I believe he will stay

He goes good but not the JAC equivalent ..
Long stretch that one .

Aloiai seems a little soft to me.
Not aggressive or threatening in any way.

Occasionally runs hard.
This has been his best year... contract year, how surprising.

We should chase Kayne Kalache @ the dogs. Alex Twal 2.0 and is about to make grade and become a star.

8. Twal
9. Farah
10. Matulino
11. Matterson
12. Lawrence
13. Eiso

14. Liddle
15. Mikaele
16. Kalache
17. Che Kam/ other

Some Bulldogs fans seem to want him to first grade now, But I would put him at lock.
 
@weststigerman well they're the front rowers we have at the moment.. can't just name players we don't have or just say Clarke will start cos he's still unproven.

Twal is our best forward. I don't see your complaint.

Mikaele is about the only aggressive forward we have and Twal our most talented.

So we have 2 spots available now 😛ray:
Surely with the release of Gamble we have to have at least 1 signing coming this week ? Not going to promote 2 juniors are we ?

Why would we release Gamble if something is going on - Anyone got any inside info ?
 
@Sunnycoast_tiger yep... he's another opposition club junior about to break out...

Much like Twal (Parra) when we signed him. Our Lebanese players (Farah, Twal, Maarbani) could put a good word in and we could get him.... he's not in dogs top 30 at the moment.

We still need a few aggressive forwards, but he is better than we have running round in Canterbury Cup that's for sure.

Re Aloiai - would be a real loss.

Re Gamble - has anyone checked @The_Patriot is OK


Im all good, thanks for asking lol

Said it recently with Brooks locked in we coudnt take on Gamble. Both are run first players and would make a terrible combination.

Good luck to him wherever he bobs up.

Good on you mate - delivered and received in good spirit.
I never rated him as much as you did but I too wish him well

Gamble was never given a fair go, he had one NRL game when the whole team were horrible, and never given another chance. Brooks played countless poor games, many in a row and was never dropped, Gamble looked good when paired with Drinky, good luck to the bloke where ever he lands

Like a few guys we have signed from time to time it just didnt work out. Jury is out on his talents. All i know he is a big body 5/8 who can take on a line. If he finds a club with an organising half back i would say he has something to offer the NRL

Though finally dumping the most overhyped, overrated, never was nuffie in Gamble is a positive move... The guys washed up.. NRLs out o fhis league, tried hard but just couldn't step up... Hopefully his replacement makes more of an impact here
