Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I find it interesting that Bula employs Moses given the managers relationship with the club. Particularly if he wants to remain with the Tigers...

Wasn’t Moses suggested by his old manager who had to give up his clients as he became the recruitment manager for the Bulldogs?

Yes, all his clients were defaulted to Moses....they could have gone elsewhere if they wanted.

Bula having a horrible game against PNG....his tryline defence has been ordinary. 24 - 0 to PNG after 30 mins.

Something must be weighing on his mind..

Zip. Another 6. Bula’s horrible positional defence is well on display.
Unfortunately Turuva isn’t showing much faith as a possible NRL centre either.

Honestly should move heaven and earth for Koloamatagi. Next Tapine imo.

You do realise Kolo is only a couple of years younger than Tapine right? He's not the next anything, he's at the end of his prime years now.

Only been a prop for 2 years though

I think his best years are still to come

Richo on the blower to Moses telling him the price has just dropped by a hundred a year …

Good summation as there is definately a decent player in him, but like many young players who were once at the top of the tree, losing confidence can be a massive road block and quite often there is ulterior motives behind the loss of confidence that prove too difficult to overcome.
Let’s hope this is not the case for Will and he rediscovers his best in 2025.
Will is fast enough, strongly built, carries the ball strongly and is a good try scoring finisher, but he’s under 6 foot tall and has had struggles under the high ball which has become problematic.

For some reason, almost the entire Matt's winning team was under 6 foot. They did well against boys but up against men they've all struggled. We have to recruit and retain players with the physical traits of a modern NRL player. For some reason we keep trying to find a needle in a haystack rather than play the odds.

He is the only one (bula) looking threatening in attack though...can't believe wakeham was our first choice half a few yrs ago.

How about the 17- Sylvester Namo?

Would be nice if he was off contract

Brimson has said if he's not going to be playing fullback or 5/8 he wants out immediately
