Jarrod has had a few balls lost/stripped stepping back to the inside in a try scoring situation. I know he is trying to make himself “small”. But his ball carrying arm lifts and comes away from his body. He doesn’t have good control in that position, something he needs to work on.

I really want Papa to play. But if he can't I don't think it would be all that bad for him to rest up. He has done a huge amount of work over the last 6 weeks a rest might be good. It will be tough travel routine this weekend. With around 8 hours of flying on game day.

I have got to say I like that team. I have been critical of Scott, but if he can somehow become a solution rather than a problem with CNK back that will be a stacked side.

Your right. Lots of pies since 2015.

Panthers, Sea Eagles are 2 points behind, Panthers are 5 ahead.

If we win and the Panthers win it buys some breathing space

That is what I think. But the Sea Eagles win and then we beat them next week we are only 1 point away.

I know this week is what the team needs to be 100% focused on getting the 2 points. But I really hope we could find a way to be well in control of the match. I think Papa might need some reduced minutes soon or he might burn out. Who is everyone else cheering for in the Panther vs Sea Eagles game? I...

Gee I shudder every time I see Ashley Klein appointed to our games. Lot of talk about how hard it was to get momentum and the line speed of Souths. They were offside all night - both standing several metres offside and also jumping the play the ball very quickly and Klein just ignored it. Same agai...

Jesus, Ricky you lost my number again? Just PM me, no need to go to that hack Gould. He was clearly the best option for us once we got the cap exemption.

kona_dream

Really keen to see how the rookie backs perform. Hopefully 1 or both can look really comfortable so we can lock down the right hand side combination. If Bateman is fit he plays from the bench this week. In the next couple of weeks, with Bateman and CHN it should mean there is cover if a back goes do...

Are we changing the title thread ?
"dogs fans demand gate takings as CHN signs with a side thats not a complete dumpster fire" please

I think it is only fair we pay the Dogs some gate takings. I think 100% of the gate from our round 4 and 6 home games should be adequate.

kona_dream

Tough month for the Dogs. They thought they had Bateman, then overpaid for Crotic, then thought CHN would be back.

kona_dream

I am super stoked about this. He could be a real weapon in attack running off Williams. He seems to be a great line runner. Moving JB back to lock and I think our attack that has looked inept at times has a lot more strike to it. Just really need for everyone to stay healthy and plug our right centr...

I’m hearing John Bateman could be a late inclusion... probably on extended bench If that is the case, i'd say the CHN deal hasn't gone through as he would need to sit out until round 13? yeah? I wouldn’t think it has anything to do with CHN. I think we sometimes overlook that CHN hasn’t been releas...

Just so happens Roosters have Crichton / Radley injured.. There you go. Guaranteed to be at the roosters, wont be going anywhere else. Uncle Nick always gets his man. Uncle Nick will need to get a bigger sombrero then. Better get started on some car dealers providing some "Whole of game" sponsorship.

kona_dream

Speaking of Bateman, surely he mustn't be far away now.. a couple of weeks ago I think it was Ricky who said he was 3-4 weeks away. Knowing Johnny and the raiders it might even be a bit earlier than that (which it often is). about a fortnight ago buzz rothfield mentioned 4 to 5 weeks Sent from my S...

I still would have SBW on a 10 week contract. Why wouldn't he want a chance to win another GF and add to his "legacy".

kona_dream

Has SBW signed with us yet?

Given the meeting started at 11am. Does anyone know if they are having lunch during the meeting or going out for it?

kona_dream

Does anyone else feel a little bit sorry for the dogs? They made the quick decision to act and set an example. Much like we have in the past. Now, the nrl may grant him a contract at another club this very year. Is this not basically what happened to us so many times? I do a little bit. I know how ...

Maybe he does, maybe he doesn’t. But I would at the very least be looking for a loan agreement for this year. CHN can try and play for a premiership this year. Dog’s reduce their salary cap this year. Raiders get a good quality player free of charge for the year. Win, Win, Win. He wants out. Dogs m...

Dogs forum is hilarious at the moment, they seem to think they are getting half our squad! Yep leave the raiders to get the finals off every year :) They're telling us on Twitter that the Raiders must pay the Bulldogs a transfer fee... even though transfer fees are illegal in Australia, as a restra...

Straight in for Young.
Depends on his fitness levels. Wouldn't have been training with the Dogs. Be interesting to see where he's at after more than 5 months in limbo.

You would hope that being away from the Dogs for 5 months would improve your football.

kona_dream

Does any one know his reported Dogs contract value. I have tried searching but can find anything. If on around $400kish we should be able to pick up most of his contract this year for nothing on the cap.

kona_dream

I really think that the Morris decision was probably one of the worst cases of unconscious bias I have ever seen. This is likely what went through the refs head "I didn't see it clearly, but no way Morris could fall over, he is such a good player, he must have been taken out" - penalty Roosters.

All player contracts today come with a yearly renegotiate kick stones player option built in to them. Can’t say I am a massive fan of the 5 years but the $500k pa would seem reasonable. We have to hope 500k is close enough vs an extra 20k pa in your pocket after taxes, manager and moving/living cos...

Maybe the rumours that Cotric has signed with the Dogs relates to a potential trade with CHN?? Would people be happy to lose Cotric if it meant we got CHN as a replacement? Maybe we could have a dig at Oates with Cotrics money? There is no trade unless they are talking this year, which there is no ...

Something good is brewing about tonight. Makes a little tear form every time I see video of the crowd at the GF last year.

kona_dream

Is is so hard to figure out that the Raiders wouldn't have been considering CHN either if we still had Bateman (good backrower) to go with Young (up and coming option)? We are only looking at him because we are in a code red injury crisis, beyond even any other of the top teams. So it stands to rea...

Wow, just checked the betting market. Ladbrokes have Raiders at $5.00 and a +12.5 line. Been a long time since we've been those odds. I can't for the life of me imagine why?? Could it be because half of our team isnt playing? Nah surely not... I do think those odds are good value for the Raiders. E...
