I saw Pascoe today at Big W Macquarie Centre.
Asked him straight out if Hodgson is coming and he basically said we are waiting for Canberra to come to the party salary wise.
I said “but they don’t want him hey and he doesn’t wanna be there. So we have the upper hand”. He replied “yeah”.
BTW I didn’t realise he is quite tall

If this is true it actually shows what a poor position we are in as a club when the CEO is talking to supporters at the shopping centre about the details of contract negotiations.

You’re kidding ….. right?

Looks like we can rule out Angus Campbell-Gillard as a signing option.

He deserves a punch in the face for that moustache

Good to learn that he was respectful of you even though he would have been under pressure with a huge shopping list. lol

His flowing locks make some forum members jealous. It's very ugly.. No use shopping for a Pantene conditioner if you have a desert head.

Personally, and clearly I’m in the minority, I don’t feel the CEO or anyone for that matter should be taking details of contracts with supporters/strangers in shopping centres. Yes it’s great he had a chat to a fan but a simple yes he’s a player we are looking at would have been enough. Outlining that we want more money from the raiders and agreeing with an explicit comment about our ‘upper head’ in the negotiations I feel are inappropriate. People complain about leaks and poor negotiations with players and these actions are part of that in my opinion.

I hear you..


I reckon it was probably an extremely blaise conversation. He's not going to reject a fans interaction, probably already knows he's unliked .

Who knows, may have said some real basic stuff and this patron has taken things how they wanted to take it. Read as if things were implied but not obviously stated as fact.

These guys are involved in a multi million dollar business. They're not discussing the important stuff with people like us, lol

Why do the Bulldogs have no forwards?

They put a number on us in our last encounter. Not bad for a team with no forwards

You don't really have to be much of a team to put a number on the 2021 Tigers. ***You just need to show up with attitude, on the same day that the Tigers don't.***

Which could be pretty much any day of the week.

Top 3 worst Signings for West’s Tigers history….
1)Braith Anasta
2)Adam Blair
3)Matt Ballin

When taking into account money, Reynolds and Packer are our worst imo.

Id like to nominate Tamou

Surely Blair is Top 5

Prefer hodgspn over Api

Me too and he is 4 years younger - can do all that Hodgson can do and is not a crock.

Did you read the post you quoted? lol

Oh! Oh! Cochise - you knew what I meant tho'

Do you like Api of Hodgo?

Why hasn’t anyone mentioned the following 2 Words…… Matt Ballin


More than a few have mentioned Ballin and the obvious paralels (Over 30 ACLs Hooker nobody else wants).Some just dont see any problem

Not only don’t see they see the problem, they are cheering it on. It’s bizarre.

Just goes to show how desperate we are for some on field leadership.

Could say there hasn't been once since Farah retired.

Tamou, what a fail that has turned out to be.

I honestly hope AD becomes the leader we need but yeah, you're right... we're excited about Hodgson because its quite clear it's something we've lacked for some time.

Harsh eh.
