Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Mate you need to chill out before you blow a head gasket, buy some ashwagandha, things aren't as bad as they seem.

Speed: Bula's still here next year and has good pace, Taylan and Makasini aren't slow even Doueihi when he winds up isn't slow and Latu is sharp off the mark.

Aggression: Big off season for Royce and Bunty is no shrinking violet, Sam has been known to fire up and if the bird swap for Brown happens there's another one, the pack is going to be much bigger next year to fix the physical side.

IQ: another off season can provide wiser heads, if we don't have enough X factor they just have to work harder as a team to make up for it.

Plus there's still 2 spots left so something could be under the Christmas Tree.
Before you say anything about the cap no one knows what left especially if we front loaded some contracts this season.

Calm head required and keep the faith.
Hopefully something falls out of the Christmas tree and it's not Richo in a Santa suit. 🤣
 
Man there is an absolute abundance of fullbacks in the nrl , and just below . Straight off the top of my head , we could offer Paps 2 years , allowing Brooke’s and oitman time to mature . We could go to market and snatch Brimson from the titans , Purdue from the cowboys , Faalago from the storm. Thats without much thought , and consideration of what’s out there . If thr young fullback who’s playing halves at Newcastle can’t make the switch I’m sure he’ll be available as well .
Bula is a great fullback , and we should do whatever we can to keep him , but if he’s got one foot out the door , there is literally heaps of options Available , both internally and externally.
It is simply nothing like the Teddy situation where we lost him and the guy who should have replaced him in Papenhuyzen.
Richo has his ceiling price , if Bula is not happy with that ,so be it
 
It's off the field that's the issue. We have a close-knit team - we don't want them looking over their shoulders at their wives chatting to Adam.

Absolute dog act that shouldn't be taken lightly. Who ever does that, isn't a team player.
One would hope that type of behavior was when he was single .. now he is married with a kid .. here's hoping his behavior has improved. Also remember it takes two to tango ..so Mrs Lichha (to be then) was pretty much gutter trash. Plus i dont think the current Mrs Elliott would take that sort of behavior from her husband .. she would rip his left testicle out with her front teeth in a heartbeat .. !!

"Absolute dog act that shouldn't be taken lightly. Who ever does that, isn't a team player" .. another certain former Bulldog / Cowboy player had this behavior he's whole career .. and still does .. !!

name n shame , getting a headache , help
 
No chance the Bulldogs will pay him 800k or higher.
I know Gus is getting old, but does he really think Bula at fullback and Galvin in the halves is winning him a Premiership?
He is not that silly and he knows there will be an opportunity to sign Kalyn Ponga, Ryan Papenhuysen, AJ Brimson or Jaxon Purdue, so I cannot see him frantically signing Bula as of November 1 when the above listed players either will be available or likely to become available.
You’re exactly right. They won’t pay him 800 or higher out of the cap.

They are one of the top sides who need a fullback upgrade.

Gus Gould has already said Bula could be anything in a stronger team - if he wants him bad enough he will make sure he is remunerated and then it will be up to WTs to decide whether we believe the same and are prepared to back him.

Yeah, was a while ago. Mrs lichha wasn't in the team and to me, that's the issue. These guys are supposed to be brothers. Not sure how our squad would feel about it... If it were me, this would be an Api / romy call
