this is great news for WT. if Canterbury chase Hunt then it reduces their ability to outbid us for May.

furthermore, with Hunt out of the equation for Brisbane it could mean Madge opts for his old mate Adam Doueihi, and we could swap him for Kobe.

Bulldogs will have money for both

May ain’t coming here, take that as the gospel

You came back on the forum 2 talk nonsense again Caz

 

[Kaito]

We're definitely a chance. They met earlier today...

Gus said his team was a couple of mil under the cap this year . 700k under legitimately and over a mil in subsidised contracts for leaving players .

[innsaneink]

Bulldogs poised to sign Ben Hunt means we’re a better chance for Terrell May

Meeting the chooks

Yep heard that on a podcast he was on

They told ice that he wasn’t wanted moving forward for the rate he was on , and look around . So you’re narrative there is not true . Stef . Yep fair enough .
Everything you’re saying is what I’m saying about Benji though . It’s all known , but the “he’s shit and cooked “ , style narrative has zero basis in reality or facts outside of the wins and loss column .
I think gunner nailed it when he said this club has a bad habit of looking always down the road . And I agree with that . Hopefully this coming season we can finally make tomorrow today .
But there’s way more reasons to be optimistic , if apprehensive than anytime in the last 5 years . So it’s too this I say why are people still wrist cutting z apprehension and trepidation … sure 💯, but the constant chatter is not that .

Don't want to turn it into another back and forth but not wanting your best forward doesn't convince me he is making sound coaching decisions.
Anyways, I think we more agree than disagree. Pushing back on the "he's shit and cooked" statements is fair enough but most the comments I've seen are rightfully critical of his time thus far and his initial appointment. Again you are right to say he's here now let's hope for the best but hoping for the best whilst fully expecting the worst isn't death riding Marshall. It's just difficult to be optimistic when all the evidence thus far suggest Marshall probably won't be a capable coach.

This is Gary's announcement from his last post https://www.totalrl.com/garry-schof...horrendous-effects-in-emotional-final-column/ Sorry if this is the wrong thread but I couldn't find one dedicated to him.

Who is ‘they’?

 

[Modman]

Bird has to play 13. We’re idiots if it’s anyone else

Lol He'll Disintegrate at 13. He barely played and got thru games at centre.

We will end up with no further signings , but maybe we should jump in now and sign Lodge , he is the best that I think we can do and will be cheap . Our club is pathetic, should have had forwards all signed up by now . We will be back on the 5 year building crap over the next 25 years

 

[Love_the_WestsTigers]

As much as Ice cops it on here I reckon we're gonna miss him next season. Should have just played him in the middle. Yes he was unsure that he really wanted to come to the tigers, but you can't say he dogged it.

I agree with you. And i believe it was a poor decision to let him go, we were never struggling with the cap.

He played his heart out for the Kiwis.
Won’t be surprised if we wins the dallyM next year.

From dumped by the Tigers to Dally M.

That should give the 360 boys about 25 years worth of ammunition.

Bird played 14 games last season as a centre & 5/8.

And people on here want him at #13.

I think he upgrades our centre options dramatically, while minimising the damage on his body. It's Bird, Doueihi or Staines. I know who I'd RATHER have play. Well, if not Latu that is...
