Part of Gus's plans to find our future Fullback? Along with David Bryenton...

2020?

I would have him play Centre and swap with Galvin on 5th tackle if outside say 30M from opposition try line. Galvin can take short kicks, but we need Burtos big boot if we get stuck in our end of the field. Sent from my SM-F741B using Tapatalk

Who plays 13? I have Hayward 13. Sent from my SM-F741B using Tapatalk

I think his best game was when he played in the halves... Sent from my SM-F741B using Tapatalk

I thought his first half was ok, and thought he was setting up for something in the second half. But when the second half arrived he went back in his shell, and dont remember him taking the line on once. Sent from my SM-F741B using Tapatalk

To me not coming away with the two points isn't that big a deal. Only if it means we don't finish in top 2 at end of year. Penrith are playing close to their best, they have been building and I would say they have hit their peak. Dogs have been playing ordinary, still winning but attack still...

Indeed deserved going off for HIA but should not have been Cat 1, it was clear his stumble was of losing balance because he is dodgy not because of concussion. I found myself wondering whoever called the Cat 1, probably had money on Panthers

Heard this too. Very private person and at the time he thought the challenges his children were having weren't the business of the public and he was ok with everyone thinking he was a Rick, as Family and his faith was everything to him. Sent from my SM-F741B using Tapatalk

What about Jack... for quite some time it had been the um shortened/nickname for John. I believe the tradition around Dick was the same for Bob where it rhymed with Rob. Dick Rhymes with Rick. What I understand anyway Sent from my SM-F741B using Tapatalk

I thought they were all saying Reed was leaving because club sees Hayward as its future Hooker? Sent from my SM-F741B using Tapatalk

Article at time of posting had it way down towards the end just a couple of sentences with no real detail. They moved it up to the top later. Sent from my SM-F741B using Tapatalk

I suspect Mahoney won't play 80, last time he played 80 was vs Roosters. Sent from my SM-F741B using Tapatalk

plays more like a fullback Sent from my SM-F741B using Tapatalk

Maybe Tracey for a few more years then David Bryenton... Sent from my SM-F741B using The Kennel mobile app

We have to be realistic with our Salary Cap. sure before we signed Galvin we could have afforded a top tier fullback. So let's say we downgrade the Hooker to Bailey. But we also have one of the most expensive centres in the game. I can't see us dropping 1 Mill on a Fullback. Sent from my...

Considering we are missing 4 players for origin, I really like the starting 13. Not sold on the bench though, but Ciraldo normally gets it right. Sent from my SM-F741B using Tapatalk

If his heart was in the body of a TPJ he'd be playing for Australia and would be one of our first on the teamsheets every week. Good luck to him in his future, just not when he is playing against the dogs

you do realise that I have said I am supporting him because I think he wants the hard training yeah?? Sent from my SM-F741B using Tapatalk

Hmmm, going to float a scenario. Let's say his interview with Weidler was all 100% as it appeared. What do we think went down to blow this out of proportion. Maybe Galvin's concerns related to training moreso than coaching and he thought the team needed to train more like the Dogs. If that was...

I'll admit, I was not keen on Galvin coming to the dogs. Had nothing to do with ability, more a concern that I thought he felt he deserved more, and that he was owed something purely because of his ability. Dogs team is not about that, that sounds like the Broncos, and Reece Walsh. Dogs are...

Do people think Gus just says things without planning. He considers what he will say and how he can be as truthful as he can without affecting the team, and players families. While also balancing what he needs to do to be effective in his job in the media as well as Bulldogs. and considering NRL...

But your not a Dogs fan. Sent from my SM-F741B using Tapatalk

Don't think he is on Gus's side; he is on Ciraldo's side.

Form drop off coincides with Sexy and Reed looking for a new home. Sexton been ordinary last few games and Reed getting 'rested'.. I just hope we find our Mojo back before its too late. Sent from my SM-F741B using Tapatalk

On this .. a Summary Reed told he currently is not in the Clubs future plans beyond his current contract. Reed wanted permission to talk to ther clubs... he has been given permission. Sent from my SM-F741B using Tapatalk

Yeah, language used by Reporters for clicks... So its Not Sexton to quit bulldogs its Sexton will not be offered new Contract. Sent from my SM-F741B using Tapatalk

After signing Zyon for this year and Latu and Thompson for next year I think we are covered, especially when you consider Hayes and Todd who have stood up this year. We were desperate last few years but not anymore.

Weidler reporting that Galvin has told Dogs its them but no offer finalised yet. I think we can trust what's comes from him. Funny how things have changed with weidler, he is definitely Gus's bitch. Other than Gus talking him up, I think this has all been Galvin wanting to play for dogs. I...

I think he played a couple at the end of last season

Chris Smith is reporting that apparently a Handshake Agreement between Dogs and Galvin has happened. Galvin will be 6 and Burton will shift to Fullback. https://x.com/chrissmithonair/status/1925496834434506822?s=19 I suspect this may be a ploy from his management as Eels upped their offer...

I think it's a good chance, especially since seven is vacant in the team sheets. Before they re-sign Sexton I think they want to get a gauge on how Woods is progressing

I think its the smaller mobile forwards don't work as well in the wet and the scrambling defence just can't get to where it needs to be when the ground is water logged. Phins played better wet weather structures and lines, angles, we were still trying to beat players one on one much harder when...

we should get rid of Tracey too right, Sent from my SM-F741B using Tapatalk

well im glad it's not 615 tonight as i'm still trying to get home... worse news for you. It's not the weekend yet. Sent from my SM-F741B using Tapatalk

Next Year I would have King, Mahoney Thompson Kiks Preston Salmon Mann Hayward Hughes Sitili Next Man up Curran, then Hayes. I think based on current form Salmon is in the team at the start of the season, but can see someone like Todd or Latu replacing him later in the season. Considering...

It's an interesting thing to consider... with all our team back over the next few weeks, other than Salmon what will be our Forward Pack and bench. I'm going Hughes, Mahoney, King, Kiks, Preston, Mann. with Bench Hayward, Curran, Hayes & Sitili. Our end of season could take that step up many see...

I think Woods was named purely because he is in top 30 and you need permission to name someone not in top 30. we had to fill the reserves with someone. Sent from my SM-F741B using Tapatalk

Penrith Trainer Elford has been caught purposely wetting the ball before multiple kickoffs. What are your thoughts? Do you think it's fair? Is it against the spirit of the game? Should the Panthers be punished...

Does this mean we are losing Mr Potato head from politics?

Yeah I was blowing up something shocking at that one, I think I was calling for the player to go to the bin for the headbutt

That came around quick. the only thing I can see beating the dogs is their own complacency. With Walsh and Riki out and talk of moving Hunt to Hooker they are ripe for the picking. Sent from my SM-F741B using Tapatalk

Every team has question marks our happens to be our attack and how our spine will contribute to that attack. Lets go down the list. Dogs: Attack, need to further develop though I am confident that will happen with JT working with the spine behind the scenes. Storm: inconsistent, not an 80-minute...

Keep telling you all that the Dogs were not signing him. If it wasn't enough red flags already, I'm sure the legal documents around bullying is smelling like and reminding him of Topine. Sent from my SM-F741B using Tapatalk

Panthers 14 on field? Sent from my SM-F741B using Tapatalk

was there news confirming kiks is playing? Sent from my SM-F741B using Tapatalk

Awesome, that was a good revisit... At the time, plenty of non-football players, including many supporters on this forum were baying for blood. They couldn't understand how they could supposedly be doing this stuff for no apparent reason... We were coming last., saying that it was favoritism and...

Gus will not be going after Galvin.

I think if you listen to the 6 tackles with Gus Podcast, you'll probably get the impression that Gus is disappointed in what has happened. He pulled out the Club First, Team Second, and Individual Third with the Dogs and explained how the behaviour shown by Galvin does not fit with the Dogs'...

But isn't that the Tigers way? and wasn't Benji one of the worst at it?

Originally I was anti Galvin because of concerns a bad attitude could have on the club if he came to the Dogs. But I remember the comments reported to have been made by Karl O, when trying to leave the Broncos. We don't know the full story, I could think of a couple of scenarios where I would...

What concerns me about 100% footy is that yes Gus says no and says we have our own plan... a couple of seconds later he says but I never thought a Galvin would come available, you never know what the future holds and we have some time anyway (Galvin can't negotiate until November). I would hope...

1) he wanted out of a losing team, when he is the dominant half 2) He wants out of a team competing for wins, when the position of dominant half is given to a 4 time premiership winner. Sounds like someone that would not fit our culture... Club First, Team Second, Player Third.

Apparently Isaac Moses has been making noises about the next Contract for Galvin will not be about money but the Coach. I can see roosters going for him, especially if they miss DCE. But if Gus spoke to him, I Think Galvin would need to accept less than a mill from Gus. Could this have been why...

This is why I don't get too worked up over signings that I may not see the upsides... Gus can move a player on who doesn't measure up better than anyone else in the league.

I knew i should have placed my bets the other week... with the Panthers shitting the bed our odds continue to shorten.

So far Panthers are so fucking lucky they are playing the probable wooden spooners. Against Broncos, Storm or even Dogs game would be over already. Sent from my SM-F741B using Tapatalk

Pretty sure they'll bring him in via NSW Cup. so maybe 10 or 11. Sent from my SM-F741B using Tapatalk

I Think Ciro will revert to Curran at Prop, Salmon and Hayes will be in before Todd. He will get his opportunity though. Minutes for players in the middle King 60 Salmon 46 Mann 45 Hayes 43 DSF 35 Todd 20 You could say Salmon Mann and Hayes are all the same minutes, just...

I think Storm definitely has a stronger attack, but our defence is the best in the Comp, including Storm. As the year goes on, if we continue to develop our attack while maintaining our effort in defence, we will close that gap.

Would not surprise me if it was all AI generated

Feels like they just expected to win, doesn't look like much structure in attack. Hopefully JT can pull something out at HT. Sent from my SM-F741B using Tapatalk

yeah no one seriously thinks Max isn't fast. the problem is his arrogance and how he believes each championship is owed to him... he was driving so unsportsmanlike at times last year or two and his excuse is he has to drive like that because the car isn't fast enough. it's like I get to do...

I see what you are saying, but Drunkfield still keeps on going on, saying that the Panthers only started doing well after Gus left. I think Gus would like to stick around at least till we make a GF. I wonder if Gus's plan with Penrith was to bring Bennett in for a few years and mentor CC, and...

Sextons kicking game is certainly improving. In the Sharks game, Burton would have been proud of a couple of his kicks. A real option in tactical kicking is important. I was worried about this with Sexton and wondered whether DCE would not be a bad option. But if he can continue to build his...

Not April fools. But betting on Dogs for spoon still at 251, so don't think it's a bad (SC) thing. Maybe, as Reece said, someone put on a huge bet, so they suspended them until they can work out what's going on. Ladbrokes still have dogs @ 11 to win GF. So I think its just sportsbet. Was...

What's going on? I noticed the Dogs GF betting has been suspended, only club.

Yep, and why I will not be able to make it. Sent from my SM-F741B using Tapatalk

Not sure they were saying his grandfather was a st George junior i think he played all his football for Newtown.. they were saying Bailey's junior Club was St George Dragons. I.e. the St George Dragons in the canterbury juniors. In any case Bailey played SG Ball for Roosters. so he left and came...

You could argue that it was the pain we needed to go through. we were In a big mess after Hasler and Dibb. Yes we only really turned the corner when Gus came on board, and Gus would never come on board with Anderson's in control. However the mistakes that the Anderson's made allowed for the new...

Wasn't a push in the face. It was Forceful, direct, and intentional contact with the head.

Wasn't Mbye he wanted to play HB it was his love child Foran.

I feel sorry for Pay. His heart, I think, was in the right place; he just didn't know how to achieve those goals. CC not only knows what he wanted the dogs to look like, he was willing to sacrifice a year and several club players to get there. He truly knows Club First Team Second Indiviual...

yes it was a great effort by Milky. his was a little off on some of his passes but Preston was able to make it work on both occasions. But let's not get carried away, this is the next man up system. just like Panthers had. remember all the half-backs that would come into the panthers when...

tried to pick Todd anytime tryscrorer... Sportsbet not an option Sent from my SM-F741B using Tapatalk

I think its one of those things that Gus does... he will bring in multiple players trying to find the one diamond in the rough. He generally backs himself to be able to deal with the commercials if the player doesn't work out. In most instances commercials are resolved. I.E. to not impact our...

Yup... Gus weighed up the risk vs reward and pulled the pin. I was willing to support if he made a different decision but happy with the result.

Don't think the talk about brake problems was an attempt to save face with Norris. as far as maintaining the gap. it's a tricky situation to keep ahead but not use too much outbid his tyres i think Piastri did well. This year is different to last year. for whatever reason, Piastri has closed...

anything negative or positive can be read into it. DCE reactions to Gus i think is more about Gus then the fact he is talking with the Dogs. Very few people don't situp and take notice when Gus is talking about footy. So it would give him a little boost. That's not to say that Gus couldn't use...

So I was leaning towards no when this first broke, however I acknowledge I do not know everything that is going on and I accept that if Gus looks at all the angles and believes the risk is worth the reward then I will support the decision. Not signing DCE does not mean that we don't want to win...

Perth, Adelaide or in fact anywhere. but keep them away from the coast. Sent from my SM-F741B using Tapatalk

those saying we should ditch Laundy because they support another team. You obviously don't understand what it means to be successful at that level. He wants the dogs to be successful because it helps his business. Business is number 1 , a childhood team following has no real impact... We sign...

while yes I thought this was a possibility. But as I understand it, he wants 2 years with second an option in his favour. we don't do options. Also was the back spasm an isolated incident or an indicator of what is to come. we would lose some young players without SC to upgrade them. Think...

I've seen lots of talk about this, but has anyone looked to see if the player in question was offside? Don't know either way just interested...

Be interesting to see who makes way. at the moment with all halves fit we have Burton and Sexy in first grade. and Tia, O'Neil Hutch and Woods in Reserve Grade. I would hope that Hutch misses out but someone else needs to be bench or Left Right Out. Option could be moving Tia to lock but that is...

How are we burning the change, Salmon would be coming off anyway it would just be for Hayward. Just means Hayward isn't as fresh playing in the halves for the first 25. If you can't acknowledge that the speed of the game and the strength of the defence is highest in the first 20-25 then maybe...

I don't see much difference with say Hayward starting at 6 for the first say 25 minutes then Salmon goes off Hayward moves to Lock and Joey comes onto 6 for the rest of the game. It will save him from the first period where the speed of the game may get to him. Sent from my SM-F741B using Tapatalk

No matter what is going on form wise and team the Dogs vs Eels is regularly a battle. even when we sucked and Eels were making Gf's we would put on a show against our old enemy. I would expect the same this weekend. But would love us to flog them. Sent from my SM-F741B using Tapatalk

Yeah was thinking the same... Tell Piastri he can race so he closes up but when he does... Hold Position. When he has slipped behind again because of conditions, it's like Oh, you can race again. Piastri needs to Out-Qualify Norris to get a chance of a Win. If he waits too long and the gap to...

Isn't that what the simulator is for?

Hughes will be back around the same time as Burton and Kiks. He had surgery last week.

Next man up for middle options with Sitili playing edge and maybe Mann/Hayward playing 5/8, I would have Todd before Hopoi.

Still think its likely after the Bye... I think maybe he might make it on the extended bench for the game vs the Knoughts. Being a half his mobility and sideways movement are critical and his general field kicking is a big part of his game. Can't see them risking bringing him back early unless...
