Exactly Harold thats my whole point abut signing Josh Moris. I dont think he is needed for what he will offer.
Will Bronson Xerri now be the next to leave now that he sees Josh Morris and Dugan in front of him.
There's clubs chasing Xerri now.

its illegal for clubs to chase xerri now

also, with the amount of time dugan and morris spend on the sidelines xerri will play 20 games next year

xerri is ****ing 17 years old, he isnt the bee's knees

he scored 3 tries against a **** wenty team but the 3 tries were catch and fall over the line

he will get games here and plenty of them, he just needs to be patient

****in gen y and always wanting **** now

Xerri has played one game against men, hasn't he? Doubt he'd be ready next year.

The signing of Morris gives Xerri time. At least that's what I would have thought.

I can see why they'd be upset but it's their club's **** ups.

We mostly buy people that are on the nose for one reason or another. We hardly ever get into genuine bidding wars.

Apparently according to them:

''They have an all star roster only rivalled by Rorters''

Also , I'm positive Flanno let's the likes of Xerri the reasoning on this purchase .
You'll be the first grade Center WHEN you are ready , so chill .

As a matter of interest , how much would an aging Morris be on ?
I'd hazaad a guess of 700K total for the 2 years .
As I'd doubt a Superleague club would pay more than 800K

Well, we kind of do.

But we didn't get into a fierce bidding war for someone like Woods who was clearly over-hyped.

We waited like 4 months for a fire sale and bought him when he was being under-hyped. And there were obviously no other interested buyers as the deal took so long to progress.

Same goes for pretty much everyone we have.

****, we ended up with Ennis because they came in and outbid us for our own hooker based on speculation and hope.

this signing is smarter and smarter the more i think of it

he is a left side centre, better on one leg than leutele on two

his defense is unreal, he is also a pretty solid attacker

the guy is also said to be one of the best locker guys and we are building a culture here that is unrivalled

he will be a brilliant mentor for xerri, and xerri will get his fair share of games in the next 24 months

my only concern now is left wing, we need someone incredible on that left wing to replace edrick

aaron gray maybe but not really, although that would be a ****in huge left edge

Really happy with the signing. He will offer enough on the field to be better thanRicky by a decent margin. What he offers off the field will be very valuable

Josh is the fastest at the dogs and has 8 tries this year.
Leutele is slower than a wet Wednesday and has scored 2.

Don’t compare Josh to Ramien, Josh is replacing leutele.

Yep an old Josh is still better than current Loots, Josh has shown over a career his ability to find the line, we need that especially with left side try machine Edrick leaving. Moylan/Wade/Josh im starting to look forward to how that could play out

Wikipedia has him at 120 tries in 250 games...that is nearly 1 try every 2 games....I bet that is a lot better than most centers we have had over the years.

If he could score 10-12 tries next year that is an upgrade on Luetele and prob Dugan.

Never thought we would be in a position to be able to complain about having Josh Morris and Josh Dugan as our Center pairing. Two former NSW and Australian Reps

Loots strike rate is woeful - 29 try's @ under 25%, roughly under one try every 4 games, for all his good points and young potential he has never delivered on the points and he is an outside back, doesn't set up many either. 50% is about where a good centre should be, then there's freaks like Ramien racking em up every week, Jesse will have Loots career try hall within a few seasons.

get his bro.

Half serious, half joking but between Duges, J Moz & potentially B Moz, the young guys would get a decent opportunity (go in FG) as you have already alluded to with the three guys i mentioned having there fair share of injuires.

Bulldogs should be kissing our hairy beanbags.

Because of us, they got to see Ennis and Barba win a Premiership

LOL I loved the ‘5 people on the sharksforever site aren’t too fussed about the signing’ love the salt in that dog **** joint. They’re club is ****ing cooked for the next half decade and they just can’t accept it. Deal with it Doggies.

It's such a good read isn't it.

Half of them hate us, half of them hate their own club.
