Agree on that last paragraph there

What makes you think we have three or four seasons because we have one the next one. If you think we can progress with low key signings then you are much mistaken. I didn’t know you knew so much about the abilities of our new coach and any signings of old warriors by definition will be on reputation and not ability and youngsters on possibility but unknown ability.
We have plenty of spare cash so failure to sign quality is a club decision, what they should consider is producing a squad that make the long suffering supporters proud and not the bank manager.
With regards your view on those supporters who turn their noses up, why not if we sign Gale then I don’t need six months, he was good three seasons ago but now reputation only. Let us not forget your views on Fifita who you considered would be better sent to Catalan because he no longer added anything to our squad, how wrong you were and not for the first time. I wonder how many of our current crop of prop forwards would be able to score a try like Fifita did away at Castleford.

I’m hoping we’ve got our eyes on players like the Fiji half back Wakeham who is out of contract…… https://www.bulldogs.com.au/teams/telst ... n-wakeham/

Applegarth knows what he’s good at and what he’s comfortable coaching.
It’ll be get to a point (40s & 60s) and play wedge wedge, rinse & repeat as nauseam!
Every player will know his job (good) but will be limited to that job description (not good), going outside that will get you dropped because the teams chances of success lays in every player sticking to a limited game plan.

Structured, scripted, repetitive, boring but it might be good for a club like us who just don’t want to get relegated!

Can’t possibly be as boring or repetitive as you

There are a lot of Aussie HB’s worth a punt. However it’s getting a work permit these days. Not sure he’s played enough games but tbh I’m not sure how it works.

He’s played 20+ first grade and three international games… jai Field had only played 17 first grade games when Wigan signed him.

As I say I’m not sure how it works but if that’s the case sounds promising.

Gale signed a few weeks ago , so let’s start looking to get our forwards power in order and give our new half back pairing to work off . Not chip oil talk or hear say but facts .

When did that happen? All signings were put on hold until a decision was made regarding Pochings future.


Personally no issue with Gale but if he’s signed you know something nobody else seems to.

I can tell you one thing I did get told, that Lino has been told he must step up and lead the team this season. With that in mind I’d suggest Gale would be unlikely.

Still we will see soon enough and who knows.

Abit off topic but I’ve flicked on Fox Sport Aus and Ben Jeffries is the coach of PNG women national side who are currently playing Aus Prime ministers 13. Good on him.

I know Craig Harrison met with MC and JM a few weeks ago as he said he was going to on his podcast.
