Took them to a prelim final. Wouldn’t say nothing.Bennett did nothing at Newy except find a new partner, don't need Bennett

My thoughts too on the centre position with those 3 emerging, however if To'a & Naden struggle this season, I wouldn't be adverse to go for Dane Gagai (if we released one of those 2 & Knights didn't wish to re-sign) for a season which wouldn't hold up our youngsters.agree on all those. you could make a case for right centre but I do think Large and Makasini will be pressing their claims for first grade pretty soon, plus Luke Laulili'i looks to be developing pretty well as a centre from week to week in SG. I'm really curious as to what our recruitment looks like for next year given that there are a few players in the pathways that should break through in the next year or two, but we probably need first grade ready talent now.
Ivan was out the moment he had the meeting to go back to Penrith, even if he stayed as coach in 2019 he wouldn’t have cared how the team performed. He wouldn’t have cared if we won or lost the game, he may act like he did but we all knew his heart wasn’t gonna be in it. No point keeping someone that didn’t want to be there. Therefore signing Bennett for 2020 wouldn’t have helped as we would’ve had to deal with 2019 first. While Madge didn’t work out, if we didn’t have him as coach that year that probably would’ve been our first wooden spoon. Still think getting Bennett under the old admin wouldn’t have worked anyway.We could have signed him for 2020 though and announced it, so any prospective recruits knew Wayne was coming. We could have made Ivan stay for 2019 which he said he would.
Pascoe was rattled by Ivans actions and just wanted him out of the joint, so we landed with Madge...and it's been 5 Seasons of struggle since.
You mean the dogs signing a guy who’s still recovering from a torn ACL? ghee I can’t believe we didn’t go after himThese signings that clubs are making , the dogs one , brown to the eagles , we could have done with them and I doubt they would have cost a lot , our club just seems to sit back while others blunder
is he a Utility ?Another player signs with the Bulldogs immediately .. Daniel Suluka-Fifita from the Rabbitohs .. crikey they have signed a whole new club to their team for this season .. !!
Def the least intimidating.We could have done with a big body forward that's for sure, I believe we would have the smallest forward pack going around.
Also Seyfarth & Twal.Aka woods

I think you might mean that other clubs plunder, Wests Tigers traditionally seem to be the ones that blunder.These signings that clubs are making , the dogs one , brown to the eagles , we could have done with them and I doubt they would have cost a lot , our club just seems to sit back while others blunder
Didn’t we just sign some dude from Penrith?These signings that clubs are making , the dogs one , brown to the eagles , we could have done with them and I doubt they would have cost a lot , our club just seems to sit back while others blunder
Tito jealous?So would you call them small Big Men?
My old dog I use to refer to as a large small dog.
Just want to establish those extremities.
He didn’t start out that way. His first few years were good. Then he worked out how to budge his way through a career.Aka woods
Yea, that would be Manly management.Didn't he sign with Manly on a train and trial contract, and that is very low money
He’s not even anything close to that at the team he’s at (full of rep players) where his won the dally m.I know it won't happen but Taumalolo as lock is the missing piece to our forward pack. I trust that our juniors coming through are going to be great for us but still feel we are one or two signings from being truly competitive. Hope this year dispels me of that.
In the case of Daniel Suluka-Fifita, it seems the Bulldogs have identified "bad rugby league players" as an area of weakness. Which is odd as I think they already have plenty of those.I cannot understand why we never realise what areas need strengthening and sign players from other clubs early in the season to help strengthen us.
2019,2020,2021 and 2022 were failures under Madge. One poor Season, if Ivan stayed for 2019 and we have Bennett 2020. It was a missed opportunityIvan was out the moment he had the meeting to go back to Penrith, even if he stayed as coach in 2019 he wouldn’t have cared how the team performed. He wouldn’t have cared if we won or lost the game, he may act like he did but we all knew his heart wasn’t gonna be in it. No point keeping someone that didn’t want to be there.

The story is, he almost had to amputate his foot because he had an injury and instead of it being looked at jumped straight on a plane to England to pitch South Sydney to Wayne Bennett.Riccho was there when Bennett joined. Whether he played a part of getting him there I don’t know.
The top 30 roster was full at the time.These signings that clubs are making , the dogs one , brown to the eagles , we could have done with them and I doubt they would have cost a lot , our club just seems to sit back while others blunder
