Yes please!

Then get a decent hooker and sort out the halves and we are looking tidy.

Or you've got to put Wakeham in halves and make Averillo hooker?
So you will drop Hopa?

Averillo in the halves if anything.. Wakeham has been a bit of a let down

True, yet look who was coaching him?
Also what confidence can you gain playing for the side in the last few months?

Need to buy a 9 and we absolutely need to well and truly fuck Lewis off. He's not, has never been and never will be a 7.

There are some quality backs off contract, there is no excuse not to bolster our back line. Cotric is a must, one of our weak points is strong ball carrying backs and he would fix that.

Cotric, DWZ & Hopoate. Smith & Okunbor when they are on are capable of strong carries.

Don't worry about halves.. we're going to get fa out of even the best halves if we don't get a quality hooker to give them the service they require, and also forwards who go forward.. and also not giving ANY ball to Tolman in the strike zone which allows opposition to readjust their line

Sadly Tols has become OUR Tim Mannah. He must not be re-signed.


Our forwards have to stand up and not rely on him tidying up, as he is getting in the way of even Thompson now.

We will never progress unless our forwards take stock and Thompson must be used better.


Yea I mean I don't think it was ever intended to be used how he is.. if we still had Klemmer and somebody else as the meter eaters you can get away with having a Tolman to do the dirty work.. One of our young guys has got to step up and be the dominant forward

No way bro. Avo needs to roam the field and look for holes..
9 will restrict his game.

The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs have made a major move in the player market by signing Canberra Raiders outside back, Nick Cotric for the next three years.

The star 21 year-old, who has scored 37 tries in 80 matches for the Raiders, will join the Bulldogs next season in a deal that will keep him at Belmore until the end of the 2023 campaign.

Cotric was a key figure in Canberra's run to the Grand Final last season and also represented New South Wales in Game One of the Origin Series. In addition, he made his International debut for Australia in matches against New Zealand and Tonga at the end of 2019.

Bulldogs Chief Executive Andrew Hill was delighted that Cotric had pledged his future to the blue and white.

"Signing a player of Nick's ability and class is a massive boost for our club moving forward and another step in strengthening our squad to lead us into the future. With Luke Thompson having joined us and Nick now bringing some great strike power to our backline I am confident that we are constructing the quality of squad that can produce the results we are looking for in the coming seasons."

Solid pickup .... a move in the right drection.

Cotric is a gun. We're going to have some fire power in the backline for next season if all players are available and fit.

We now have 2 marquee signings in Thompson & Cotric.

They should just ask them do you really expect me to not push you up against the wall, biatch? That'll calm them down.
