And in this world if ‘no consequence for actions’ He’ll be at manly or Gold Coast by Tuesday

One of the dumbest footballers I’ve ever seen

He is a team culture vulture.

Is anyone actually suggesting we sign this guy? Would be the dumbest decision the club could make and anyone thinking it needs a long nap.

We did sign him. He was on scholarships at Keebra Park SHS and an Australian Schoolboy rep. He lost his scholarship due to some breach and Manly signed him.

You must have forgotten about LITTLEJOHN. Kenny would be like Beetson next to that signing.
 
So at the moment the outside backs we have available are:
Lolo
Thompson
Mahe
Nofa
MWZ
Marsters
Kev (supposedly on his way out)
MCK

That is seriously scraping the bottom of a very deep barrel. We need to sign someone before 30 June.

Also apparently Brian Kelly was a very good goal kicker in U20s and kicked for U20s 2016 NSW team which there is a video of him kicking 6/6.

He is a cousin of James Roberts.

So is James Kelly part Aboriginal then?

Born in Lismore, New South Wales, **Kelly is of Indigenous Australian descent**[2] and played his junior rugby league for the Ballina Seagulls and Lennox Head Dolphins. He was then signed by the Gold Coast Titans.

Kelly is a cousin of Hull F.C. player Albert Kelly and Brisbane Broncos player James Roberts.[3]

"Ballina, that's in Qld.

Queenslands everywhere!"

Wests Tigers circle Moses Mbye, Jake Granville for 2018 season

THE Wests Tigers have wasted little time in circling Canterbury’s Moses Mbye despite the Bulldogs boldly declaring they do not need to shed players to be salary cap compliant.

The Tigers have also joined the race to sign North Queensland hooker Jake Granville, with the Eels also expressing an interest in the 29-year-old off-contract premiership winning player.

The Bulldogs precarious salary cap situation was laid bare last week with the club adamant it does not — and will not have to — shop any of its star players.

But Canterbury is still in desperate need of salary cap relief as a roster in balance has surfaced because of heavily back-ended deals.

Moses is one of up to 10 Canterbury players whose wage significantly jumps next season with his current deal expiring in 2020.

As the Bulldogs continue to deal with a salary cap disaster which they inherited, the Tigers have loomed as a possible destination for the 24-year-old.

The Bulldogs would love to keep Mbye — and he is not on the top of their “move on” pile. But he looms as the most attractive proposition to opposition teams given his age and the starring role he has played since his high profile switch from the halves to fullback this year.

Corey Thompson has been an unsung hero of the Tigers backline since making a first of the fullback role this but the 28-year-old is largely regarded as a winger.

The club had high hopes for Tuli Lolohea, but he has been unable to nail down a permanent fullback spot.

Centre Kevin Naiqama will join English Super League club St Helens leaving Benji Marshall, Tim Grant, Sauaso Sue, Malakai Watene-Zelezniak and Pita Godinet among their off-contract list.

Mbye will again line up in the No. 1 jersey on Sunday when the Bulldogs play Cronulla.

Mbye would not be anywhere near top of my list of signings, unless the dogs prop up a huge chunk of his $900k deal next year.
Even then we can do a heap better at fullback, we need a gun centre and secondrower as well.
And there must be doubts on Liddle to pursue Granville, naybe form maybe injury prone.

Completely agree we can do better, but he’s better than what we have. He’s been pretty good this year. If the dogs pay a lot of the freight we could do worse.
