Dogs must still have serious cap issues ..

Moving on a good centre - meanwhile FJ won’t budge ..

He is statistically the worst defensive centre in the comp over the last 2 years. That doesn’t mean it is all his fault or that he won’t improve, but a fresh start and a new system is probably a good thing for him.

As for Flanno, he just turned 24. He’s not a lost cause just yet. 3 of the top 8 teams last year had been halfbacks who hadn’t played an NRL game in #7 when they were 24.

I never understood the love he gets. He has that ‘****’ attitude about it to oppositions which i found cool but as you said his defense is extremely overrated and he never passes the ball to the Australian winger outside of him

Dogs are desperately trying to offload Corey Allen. Manly and Parra are the two parties they have reached out too to see if they’re interested.

Klemmer would be better for us than Leniu. We already have a couple of impact props. We need a forward leader who enjoys doing the tough stuff and someone who will always rip in.
I reckon we still need a mad bastard, that's what we're lacking imo.

Klemmer used to be that but not these days.

What sort of mad bastard?

Marty Taupau stare-you-down style, Martin Lang run-through-a-brick-wall style, or a loose unit like Hetherington?
