Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Anyone got any updates on how Solomone Saukuru has been developing? We could do with a bit of Center depth and it seems like he has been around for a number of years now , but can’t seem to get a sniff at the big time … looks like he doesn’t even have his own thread in the contracts section 😎

I have some updates.

No updates to report.

Thanks

Mate , what if Bula chooses the saints , I can see them going to 1.1m for him , what if Purdue is another Benji disciple . This idea that the bulldogs have first dibs is not true as of recent history . There’s only 1 player we have been in direct competition with the dogs about that has chosen them over us . And I’m glad that happened .
I can see th dogs and bula linking up because , as long as they roll the red carpet out for Galvin , Bula will be there . It means they have half thier spine for the next 5-7 years .
I’m not a Drinkwater fan per se , but if we need someone for a year or 2 to apply pressure and transition between the young fullbacks we have coming through , and offer a sure thing , I’m ok with that . I think Attard will be an nrl fullback . I think Brookes -Deninger will make nrl ,just not sure if it’s wing or fullback . They both need to hit the gym though .

Brookes Denninger is just a footy player all over.. definitely going to be an NRL player IMO.. I just hope he likes it here and the club brains trust can see that in him ..

I actually don't believe the forum concerns that Dogs are chasing Bula. The only real competition I think is Dragons and to a lesser extent Perth.
As Ive been saying every club has a flavour of the month fall out of favour shortly after. It's nothing unique to Dogs. I dont see anything there that would put Bula off.
Finally from those I know who have had a little to do with him and from how he is spoken about by teammates I don't believe there is any arrogance about Crichton.

Same.. chrichton seems to be admired by all, confident and committed and competitive on the field ,, just how you’d hope an elite player would be

Sure you're not thinking of Metcalf from the Warriors?
Tracey would have been lucky to have missed 3 games last year.

Nup..had an injury and came back too early..wasn't the same player as what we saw last nite
Quite frankly,I'm weary of being d%%#@d over by Moses every time we develop a talent..and Tracey wld do a good job without the baggage.

Find the constant criticism of the character of Crichton very strange. More than a bit of tall poppy about it

If Makasini and May play to potential maybe we could afford to have a does his job type fullback like Tracey, but as things stand Bula offers a pretty unique threat in attack that Tracey in our current system is no where near

Tracey was leading Dally Ms before he cld injured last year..and last nite we saw exactly why
He's totally involved in every play..is there when it counts..including defence
Is smart..and he talks
Sure he has probably hit his ceiling which is pretty good btw and about half the price of bulas ceiling which with his entitled attitude propped up by moses he may never get close to
And take that poisoning manager with him to the Dogs..after all,he's done such a great job with the Eagles..and others
Bula will be half a mill more than Tracey which we cld spend elsewhere

They scored 14 points

He was our best second rower in flegg last year. Scored almost a try a game and scored on debut for Fiji. Has literally played every position but halfback over the past 3 years.

We've got plenty of guys who work hard but struggle to make an impact. He's all impact, so a Bench Forward most likely for now, but he still can't get a look in. We need some players who run hard, aggressive lines with power

He's not an 80 minute forward, but that's ok. I'd extend him for a few more years now. Have no doubt it's he was at the storm he'd score 10-15 tries a season in the NRL in a year or two

Tracey will go back to the Sharks on a cut price deal…a big no for me to the WT to replace Bula….i liked Drinkwater, his game suits our style, if only he could defend
