I would not be surprised if we see Rona in Tigers colour next year.

1\. Could be good friends with J REY
2\. We would most probably be out in the market looking for a winger
3\. Apparently he wants out of the Union and coming back into league
4\. Dogs SURELY won't have enough space for him in the cap

Great finisher, ball runner and knows how to find the line :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

That's a pretty flimsy case, you could something similar about pretty much any player in the game. Example:

I wouldn't be surprised to see James Roberts in Tigers colours next year.

1\. He played under Ivan at the Panthers.
2\. We would most probably be out in the market for a center.
3\. Apparently he hasn't signed a contract with Brisbane yet.
4\. Broncs SURELY won't have enough cap space for him in the cap.

You really need to give up on this guy - we understand.

Having it shoved down our throats every second post is not going to sign him.

Send emails to Pascoe - that might be more productive.

Do we still have our scouts scouring the mid and north coasts of NSW to identify the young indigenous talent? Roberts is from around Kempsey and the outstanding young Titans' winger, Tyronne Roberts-Davis, is from the north coast of NSW via Keebra Park.

There's been some comedy gold in the last few pages, keep it up.

Any thoughts on the goalkicker for the Roosters being Taukieaho? While he signed a 3 year deal last year, the roosters need to shed players and we need a goalkicker and a backrower. Thoughts?

 

[ricksen]

Good player, but they won't be letting him go.

We do need some depth signings, should we make a play for the former Melbourne U/20's player (is now with the Rebels system) Shae Ah Fook?

 

[weststigerman]

Yep, I like that name.

Will Hopoate re-signs with Canterbury Bulldogs for the next three NRL seasons

one more to cross off the list

 

[WT2K]

Hayne takes up option with Titans

 

[Spacecub]

Options are getting thin

 

[Seantice]

Ferguson would be ok at centre. Im more interested in a front rower and a 2nd rower.

Lol Good ole Bulldogs! Salary cap? What salary cap?

Agree with this post regarding a front rower. Another quality prop to join Matalino and Packer would be my priority (if I was recruiting)

 

[Baze]

The quicker the big names re-sign with their clubs the better. Clubs will start to feel the strain of the salary cap once it is finalised and will start shopping some quality players around. Egan and Cleary are very aware of this and are waiting.

Definitely need that prop and 2nd rower. Would take Ferguson, quality options are drying up on the open market. Only other way is wait for clubs to shed players due to cap pressure.

Exactly
Regards Bulldogs, Hopoate resigning must be putting pressure on Graham staying. Will also mean the Bulldogs having to top up even more player salaries at other clubs.
