Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Check out Hastings and Gildart in last night's game against Castleford if you can.

Hastings scored and so did Gildart....

Both these players should do well for us....

Hastings MOM
Interestingly there was a similar tackle to Latrell's... but done right.

competitor. in everything, smart football brain, doesn't shut up on the field. takes the line on often, throws great passes on both sides, excellent short kicking game.

Just read Benny Elias' comments about recruiting a former halves legend as a mentor.
The last time this was discussed was when Matty Johns turned up to a training session.
It's a good idea and probs overdue.
If we couldn't get Cronk, Thursty, Freddy or either Johns brother, who would we take?...
I'd suggest James the Roaster Maloney.
Newly retired, a job offer upon returning to Aus, good with people/larrikins, gifted play-maker and game-manager, but most importantly, driven to succeed and a tremendous competitive streak.
The man has a winning mentality and that's something we need to instill in the majority of the squad, so the halves wont be the sole benefactors of his tutalege and his aura.
Plus, if we bamboozle him with how great we think he is and what a great opportunity it is to impart his own personal DNA on the current/next crop of players, we might get him extra cheap...

Saw a live interview with Maloney last weekend on Fox and he has no intention of heading home to Aus anytime soon. He said he and his family love France and plan to stay on a couple more years there. He advised he plans to play local footy and work with the Dragons there in some capacity.

Even if everything else stayed the same, switching uninterested bludger Mbye for fierce competitor Hastings instantly makes us a better side. Both are versatile but only one has a heart.

Interesting to see Dotoi picked for Australian Schoolboys. Jaxson Rahme also picked from Holy Cross but I believe he's gone to Souths.

I still have questions about his ability to control a game with his long kicking game. he may well be better suited to playing 6.

And that is why he should be playing halfback, not the floated idea of lock

Latrell over lent but didn’t get low enough, it was just wrong on so many levels.
This guy ^ comes charging in but squares his body up and uses his chest followed by his arm and shoulder, the correct way to tackle.

Which is why I'd probably be happy with a Hastings/Pearce combo right now...

What happened to this supposed mass clean out from the bulldogs ? There was no need to make Lewis a scapegoat when he was already off contract.

Yeah that’s an easy win isn’t it, go for the guy who’s got one foot out the door

Think Elliott has a few more days to respond to his breach notice. As for any others, can't see anything happening until season is over and they do the "review" like all clubs

I think they will be sacking Elliott as they are in serious cap problems already.. They can not even sign Astaisi from Broncos even though they agreed to terms with him as they are full and this would be a great incentive for them. How bad is there recruitment team going out and buying everyone on overs and now in trouble again.. Makes me laugh but a little pissed as we should of got TPJ if they were responsible

TPJ wanted too much, so even though i would have liked having him he would not have been cost effective.Let the bulldogs stew in their own incompetence

Can we sign Payne Haas
PH & stefano together will be like an unstoppable freight train
