Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Player recruitment and retention would be a lot more complicated than what many of us think.
I would imagine Richo & Benji are well aware we still need a few more quality recruits to give us a playing roster strong enough to be a realistic chance of playing finals in 2025, but getting the players we want and offloading the ones we no longer want would be a massive jigsaw puzzle in itself.
I anticipate at least one more high profile recruit that none of really see coming. as well as one or two that we have been strongly linked to.

We won't be playing finals in 2025.

You can quote me.

At best, absolute best we make our traditional 9th!

Tbh 9th would be a great season for us. People need to understand a team like the bulldogs going from the bottom 4 to 6th is basically an anomaly, well maybe not considering a team has done it every season for a while 😂 we just need to be the dragons of next season and that’s a good way forward

Just about every year there are teams from the bottom four going on excellent runs into the 8 the following year. Not saying it is achievable for the Tigers next year but:

2024 - Dogs (6th)
2023 - Warriors (4th) Knights (7th)
2022 - Cowboys (3rd)
2021 - Manly (6th)
2019 - Eels (6th)

And so on...

It happens,

But to pick us up from 17th to finals, won't happen.

An optimistic aim would be above 12th. Particularly after loosing the pack we have.

Mate, have you watched him for the last 5 years and playing SOO?! He is worth 10x any winger we have trotted out since the club began.

To'o is worth 10 Tanielas?
Put down the bong bud (It's only early)
I wouldn't swap a Fit Tuiaki for 2 Brian To'os'
But you do you....

I have watched him, and he's limited....
As many times as i've said
- None of you clowns have come back to me telling me how good in the air he is, or how fast he is...

I'll settle it with,
I like Wingers who can do more than 1 thing - You don't
Simples.
You pray as you wish
- I pray, He doesn't end up here so we have to pay massive money to witness first hand
how limited he really is outside an Elite team.
 
I can see this excitement over To’o turning to anger after the grand final.

I still say it’s fantasy and there is nothing to it.

Ask yourself if this is was all true and he wanted to leave, why would he only be talking to WT? And please dont say he’s blinded by his undying love for Luai and can’t bare to be without him.

Hodgson has been coaching in league and union for more then 10 years. He isn't exactly inexperienced in coaching ranks - in fact that would make him our most experienced coach

Don't really pay any attention to Rugby Union, so what was the team's defence like with Hodgo as defensive coach. I'm guessing not all that great.

Luai is the drawcard and WT have the cash. He would expect a decent bump in pay to move from the Panthers.

This quite period is worrying me , thought we would have got a couple more forwards by now , can’t see us getting any one from the teams in the finals , so why is it taking so long , are we stuck waiting to move players on , or targets have got cold feet . If it’s spots why not just do what the dogs do sign , sign , sign then work it out , they seem to have that down pat

We've signed Luai, Turuva, Skelton and Hunt (just last week).

Why so concerned?
