News Bulldogs poach a weak gutted dog amid club’s signing spree

[bradyk]

The Bulldogs signing spree continues with the Belmore-based club adding Jaeman Salmon and Blake Taaffe to the Canterbury-Bankstown rebuild for next season.

Off the back of the immediate transfer of ex-South Sydney forward Liam Knight, Canterbury-Bankstown have now added premiership-winning Panthers utility Salmon and South Sydney talent Taaffe to the club’s top 30 roster for next season.

Ex-Sydney Roosters prop Siua Taukeiaho is also on the verge of a return to the NRL from the UK Super League club Catalans as the Bulldogs set about shaking-up an under-performing roster.

The signature of Salmon will mean the Bulldogs will field four ex-Panthers players in the club’s top 17 next season with Salmon and NSW Origin centre Stephen Crichton set to link with Matt Burton and this year’s star recruit Viliame Kikau.

Salmon, 24, has played 40 games for the Panthers over the course of the past two seasons covering a variety of positions including backrow and in the halves.

Taaffe, 24, is a South Sydney and Central Coast junior who played fullback for the Rabbitohs in the 2021 grand final and can also cover a number of positions including fullback and the halves.

[Rebuilding Phase]

We got the infamous weak gutted dog in our team!!

 

[Heckler]

Is this the Weak Gutted Dog Salmon??

 

[Rebuilding Phase]

Definitely living up to his name of being a dog

 

[Kempsey Dog]

He was pretty good playing 6 during origin period I thought, no frills nice and direct style of play. Will offer solid utility value for us.

The weak gutted Dog hahaha fuck oath.

Told yas a month ago
ALL HAIL SALMON, good kid
Fuck that Ricky cunt

 

[Total Fool]

I’d rather have Salmon on the bench covering a number of positions than that f’ucking giraffe that can’t cover even one

 

[MoNkEy]

Our signings of late feel like being on the wrong end of an endless game of Soggy Sao.

Well, our current team is shit. So we need to try something.

[Malla]

Excellent signing

 

[Baby Blues]

I think he is a straight replacement for Okunbor so I don’t hate it

 

[Expedite]

Well that might just about do me. Salmon is a grade A ****, lots more out there about him that Ricky didnt and couldnt say.

 

[Dogs79]

Not superstar signings, but you could argue they are upgrades on a few players they are potentially replacing. Still feel like we have some cash for another big signing for 2024.
