Dogs recruiting better than us.
JAC is the only one I wanted here. The rest are ok or un proven.
Seems that they’re spending their entire xap in the first year and the digs will have these guys locked in for 3 years.
If they dont do well they might struggle again…
I would have taken Flanagan and Cotirc aswell. Theres nothing wrong with building for the immediate team/season.
We are taking a different recruitment strategy to them.
We tried to sign JAC and Burton and missed out lol. They quite simply beat us in that regard. We’ve still done well this off season but would’ve been nice to sign some top quality players
Plenty of good fish in the sea mate!
Slow and steady wins the race.When can we sign an origin level fish
been forever. We’ve got a better chance of developing talent with our young guys I reckonOutside of the Roosters, the best clubs don’t make “big fish” signings, they develop players rather than paying overs for players at their peak. Look at the 2 grand finalists last year.

They are just recruiting players with little upside and for high prices.
The three origin backs have little upside?
Basically three Origin wingers. If Dogs can sign up Tupou they’ll have the box set, shame about their halves, hooker, fullback, centres and forwards.

And they are paying top dollar for those wingers. It’s a high risk play imo. What do they do when/if they realise none of those wingers are fullbacks?

To not sign one big name player in a decade is awful. Plenty of clubs make big signings whether they’re origin level or not, we haven’t. Not saying our recruitment this season has been bad but we haven’t had a real marquee signing in forever

Allan is a fullback… Burton and Flanagan in the halves. Cotric and JAC on the edges. Thompson and Hetherington in the middle. They still have to improve their pack but they’re shaping their squad very nicely
Their biggest weakness is Trent Barrett… he’s no head coach.

Cotric will play centre, Allen will play fullback and Addo Carr is the best winger in the comp. Burton is a huge signing. As much as the Tigers goggles are preventing everyone from seeing it, the Dogs are actually building nicely. Add a good hooker and they’re looking pretty good.

I thought Cotric was going to play centre? Either way he’s a quality player.

Maybe in 2021 but they will be very competitive in 2022.
