Sounds like we’ve missed out on CHN ? let’s look at Papali’i

Damn we thought we had him..

Some people on here were saying it was almost a certainty. I had my fingers crossed ?

that Brodie croft is not worth a dime he is a plodder. A plodder at storm and useless at broncos

He was terrified of Lucy - i'm sure he would have nightmares about him.

One of the additional benefits of last night is that it has surely put to bed the Isaako push on this thread....

I’m not sure Papali’i is any better than what we have.

He’s solid at the moment. Could be a solid depth/bench player if rowdy does retire. Probably would be better than MCK

Cotric good value at 600 IF...big IF...he transitions to an elite level center.

If not, it is too much.

Raiders seem convinced he is not a center.

Might be paying overs a bit, but the fact that a coach-less, basket case of a club like the Bulldogs can actually attract a current Australian Test winger while we still struggle to sign anyone of note really does my head in!

Speaks highly spud for our coach, Maguire will now chase the slug that cotric replaces at belmore...we and Maguire are a deadset joke

Names of players/contract value mean nothing unless the coach get's the best from them. You dont have to like Maguire but you can't argue about him getting the best from the squad he has.

New coach Georgeallis seems to be getting the best out of his players.

I genuinely think we’re one strike back rower, one winger and a marquee half away from being premiership threats

Jayden Su’a and Angus Crichton off contract end of 2021 can talk to clubs in November

JAC we all know is available next year

Then Kyle Flanagan (who should be available when he’s off contact end of next year due to Sam Walkers rise if not target Sam aggressively)

We are not far off at all. Marquee half is the big one not many around

Glad we didn’t get Saab. Just dreadful.

No more talk of Isaako please.

Isaako- wouldnt totally write him off. All the Bronco's are imploding at the moment, their heads are not in right space and performance obviously falling off the planet.

I'll back Maguire's decision on any player he sees as possible for the 30 squad. Bad games kill players and coaches- a new coach and team can give new life.

I hope we start locking down some of our boys soon. Madge might be hesitant to do it in case they get complacent after getting extensions but Nofa, Aloiai and a few others will be targeted by other clubs come November. Hopefully their love of the club keeps them here.

I don't think there's any threat of complacency. Maguire preaches hard work and the results of it. So surely their hard work should equal contract renewal.

Brent Read reporting on Triple M that we are essentially out of the race for De Belin. He says that JDB wants to take offers from other clubs within the next week or two and we aren’t willing to put an offer on the table for him.

Seems smart considering he could end up in jail for all we know

He doesn't fit the recruitment mould of Madge - not at $800k per annum. The guys we have are firing and finding a little more and they are on much less - atalking about guys like Aloiai and Lucy.

Most never get it ...a winger that has a physical build / speed and kicks over 80% like Isaako and do not want to sign him ?
I hope Madge made contact with him last night with a view of Sounding him out . A kicker is needed badly and a change of club and Madge would bring the best out of him !He is pretty handy to put on the wing to kick the Tigers deep into a final series..

Just means possibly getting Isaako cheaper ?

Can you imagine the state of the forum if we re-signed Jennings.

MaGuire bought Jennings to the Club and played him ahead of others so it might not be out of the realm of possibility..

If so I’ll be spending some time on the forum that day. Will be wild.

The impact Foran has on the dogs is so glaring, as soon as he comes off they were terrible he still has it I reckon....

Dogs apparently offering a 75% pay cut which would be about 300k - I’d defs offer anywhere from 400-500 k for him as I think playing under Madge along with changing clubs and not playing with such a big price tag over his head will bring out the very best in him

Would make for some great reading. 2 year extension.
