Before we go signing another half, let's get latu a fair crack until November.

i agree, but for abundant caution, we need another half.

That nice lady who does our stats. The super geek.

Im sure she can pick up a bargain somewhere.

Id love her to do her thing with her calculator, crunch every player and come to the conclusion that pound for pound, someone like Faatape is going to be an immortal.

And from round 14, he should better than Luai.

It may be she nails the next Taylan May for $250k.

If she can turn us around, NASA will pick her up.

I mean he is clearly better than Naden…not the worst option but ain’t going to do diddly squat to move us up the ladder long term.

Funny that. A few people were cracking it when Talau first went to Manly and Junior Tupou went to the Dolphins that we were losing squad strength. Both currently playing reserve grade at their new clubs. On another cheery ex Tiger note, Ice might be about to pick up yet another wooden spoon!
 
The Bulldogs have some halves academy.

They've been putting a lot of work into developing players for the future.

The ones they've really earmarked are;
- Mitchell Woods
- Joseph O'Neil
- Alex Conti
- Cassius Tia

I daresay with this recent Galvin news, the spotlight is on these guys.
Ripe for the picking.

Just to add to this… this was a statement from Gus a few days ago before the Galvin news broke:

"He's still only young, but he's showing really positive signs. We're not rushing him at all, there's no need to rush him - as I always say, the career of a professional playmaker is between the ages of 25 and 35 and he's still SG Ball, he's still 19.

Do you reckon Mitchell Woods is going to be pleased reading this knowing they’re going to give his jersey to another 19 year old and build the team around him.

While other clubs like us can give him the opportunity to showcase himself like we gave to Galvin last year.

I’d be making it really clear if they want Lachie e early we scrap the transfer fee and get Woods to compensate for us losing a high quality half early in this contract.

6. Luai
7. Woods
9. TDS
13. Latu

Looks like a solid spine to build around for the future.

Woods was named but did not play Flegg for Bulldogs today. Could this be a late twist? Hoping!

Conti’s the one we should be pushing for, left foot kicker, Anasta managers him and he is a tigers junior.
 
Anyone else concerned Parra now have no 5/8 signed for next year and a million dollars available to sign one.
Possibly one that has an option in his contact at the end of the year and has a good working relationship with their halfback?
