Fingers crossed Hawkins is better than he looked last week in Reggie's. He didn't look like a bloke sufficient for the NRL. Maybe just settling in to a new club. I still hold reservations considering Bennett didn't offer him a contract and went for the young kid from Manly and Sullivan.
"This is who I think in order
1: Richard Penisini ( if he stays injury free )
2: Will Latu ( if he stays injury free )
3: Twiddle
4: Lorenzo ( more likely back end of the year )
5: Funa- Luta
but I guess it depends who has the best off season…"
"I'd take Burton in a heart beat. I think Burton could go to another level, just by some love and confidence. In this I mean Burton is the man that moves all over that Bulldogs backline to accomodate others. He can play all those positions, but deep…"
"please stop saying we paid 650k for TDS, there is no way we paid that!
Yes Burton is worth more....to get him I would go between 800/900, Campbell similar price and Ponga 1.1m.
Cannot see us getting Campbell or Ponga, Burton remains a slight hope,…"
"Good points Bluey.
I have said in recent times that if either of the big 2 coaches became available i.e. Bellamey and Bennett, Bellamey would be the only one I would consider over our incumbent Ryles..... stress consider!
I hadn't actually thought…"

Tigers were so much faster than us out wide. Jac brings some much needed speed. Between penisi, samrani and russell we had a very slow backline
Agree Jiver, get Simmo on the other wing when he is fit
Good to see JAC come in
I'm glad Samrani kept his spot and Russell got the boot.
Hands is average but Lussick is just absolute shit. Not sure what Kearney 2.0 is thinking about here.
Probably wants some line speed in the first 20m. I dont really mind it because smith will be on for 60 minutes
I like it, ryles is showing back to back below expectations performances won't be acceptable, hands has been poor at best.
He has been poor at best but even his poor games are better than 90% of Lussick's games.
You can't keep rewarding players that aren't performing, this is what BA was doing, it promotes complacency.
I understand that but replacing poor with utter crap is just as bad.
I don't remember lussick being as bad as hands has been the first two games. He isn't as good but I don't think his floor is as low as hands.
