Sure it's good news but isn't it merely a baseline for our R&R to re-sign our own players like this? It's not as if Guymer is rep level, he's not even top 17. Yet this is being sold like we just signed Payne Haas. Well done to R&R for doing the bare minimum.
Oh yeah like a player like McLean would come available anytime soon, particularly with 2 new teams coming in where current clubs try to keep their best quicker to avoid them talking to PNG.
Who currently on the market for next year? For 2028 there are names and cannot sign any til November. But for 2027 there is hardly anything unless we take someone that a team is ok with letting go and is that good enough?
Many here want Timoko, Xerri or even Tago, yet these players aren't wanted.
It's the old adage of "Casey McLean is amazing, we should sign someone like him." How many McLean's are there currently in the game? Even then how many become available? If they are how much do we pay? Then when we do pay people will say we over payed and cannot get anyone else.
Look at Keaon, that deal I felt was warranted that we offered and not to over paid, but to get a McLean as a Centre you overpay and your cap is not how it should be.
"That day will come soon where the Bulldogs Board have to back either Gus or Ciraldo. If they're smart they know from history that Gus' time is up. If not, they'll inevitably implode. "
"I think Guymer is a pretty handy re signing, can play middle and a edge, there is a lot of talent coming thru the SG Ball side and flegg atm that will need to resign "
"I wonder how safe Ciraldo is? Galvin is a failure so far, even though I felt around 1 he played well, he just doesn't fit and they are doing him a disservice. Gus will throw Ciraldo under the bus with Galvin decision, if they continue to regress,…"
"Yeah, you're probably right. We have to spend the minimum amount on the cap so all our players are getting overs just to meet that requirement.
Astor being a constant FG player ... Charlie has played 19 games and is in his 3rd season."

He should be in the side every week he is a good defender and low mistake rate good re signing
Excellent, if he develops further he will be our future Lock and captain.
I was worried due to limited playing time he would look elsewhere.
Good but he ain't winning us a comp.
Misses too many first contact tackles. Probably trying to hit too hard rather than be effective.
Averages 4 missed tackles and 2 ineffective tackles per game so far this year.
He's played one game? Out of position at centre as well.
Must have been the trials I watched then.
What Locks win a comp? He can play a role to help.
Great signing, I thought we were going to loose him to wa or png like ray stone.
Next up we really need to lock down Dylan walker. Get it done parra

Agree Muttman, barely anything to be overly excited about like most seem on here seem to be.
Wish they would announce the signing of a Casey McLean or something of that standard.
