Unless Ronnie prices himself out I do think we could end up going Ronnie and Sam - attitude on both edges!

Get an extra season to look at Sam before deciding what to do with Sione. If we can save any money there we might have to.


There's always a young up and comer for at least a few positions, can't spend your whole top 30 planning worrying about what happens if they get good.

For everyone the club has lost who ended up going great at another club we've lost more who went okay or worse.
remember the Lichaa to bulldogs meltdowns that went on…

If that didnt happen, we dont win the premiership its really that simple.

Players will come and go and you cant keep everyone.

Some players leave and go well. Others dont.
Some stay and become stars, some stay and grow into plodders.

Flanno said as much during an interview with James Graham the other day. Real sliding door moment.

He couldn't believe Bulldogs didn't want Ennis.

Yeah clubs ( and some supporters) seem to always want the shiny new toy, instead of nurturing their own backyard. We sure got lucky with that one but.(y)

Really need to lock this guy in ASAP. Re-sign him and Ronnie and figure it out next year.
Think we'll see how Ronnie returns from injury first, hes in a ROM brace at the moment

Not at this stage no.

…that you’ve read about.

Something could be going on behind the scenes that no one, including just regular Joe Shmo fans like me and you know about. Lets face it, none of us ever truly knows whats going on behind closed doors at the club these days, so there’s no point pretending to do so. The club doesn’t leak anymore.

I agree with HB though, people can say that he loves the club all they want, but if his pathway to first grade remains blocked and another club offers him a better and more clear one, then most likely he’ll be out the door, smiling ear to ear holding up a different jersey in front of the cameras.

I know we really rate Stonestreet but it’s a pretty damning comment on a teams roster if they don’t have two wingers on it they are reasonably confident will be good NRL players in twelve months time.

And im just not sure anyone who can’t promise a spot should pay enough for a fairly unproven winger to poach him before we lock him out.
Once (if) we extend Sione it’s a different story.
