+x22 currently contracted for '21: DWZ, Meaney, Crichton, Okunbor, Hoppa, Cotric, R. Smith, Wakeham, Lewis, Green, Averillo, JMK, Kotoa, C. Smith, Elliot, Britt, Jackson, Stimson, RFM, Thompson, Napa, Ogden. Of them, the ones I'd have as off limits: Meaney, Okunbar, Cotric, Wakehan, Averillo, Elliot, Jackson (only out of loyalty, need much more from him or this time next year the loyalty's burnt) RFM, Thompson, Ogden. The rest are free to leave given a better offer for them and a better replacement for us IMO. I very much agree.

So the positions of the players leaving are Two props, two halves and four outside backs. Hopefully to be replaced with two hard running props, a hooker and a half and four of the fastest outside backs available.
It’s going to be a very interesting off season. Obviously B.Smith and Burton should be priorities. Staines and Grant even better. Anybody have any ideas of who we will sign?

+xTempted to add Chris Smith to that list and in fact i think I will. Suspect he's gonna be a late bloomer and a good one. Smith is the kinds of player every club needs. No frills but gets the job done and has an instinct for the game.

Probably add to that 22 the two blokes from Manly that Tom's keen on - Waddell and Boyle. I assume they're signed? I'd like to think Biondi-Odo could get a call up to the 30 too.
So I guess we're up to 5-6 spots left unless some others will move on voluntarily.... with a little push, maybe a shove.

And Doorey. Hope he’s contracted. I’d add him to my off limits list, like the look of him. Fearless bastard.

I thought the AFL were wrong having a rest week before the finals. Seeing the NRL teams this week I'm not so sure.

Should the salary cap be how much a club is paying their players, how much their players are being paid or a combination of both. Penrith are paying 300k for RCG and 200k for Blake. Fair enough Penrith have this on their cap, it was their stuff up. Parramatta however can effectively and legally have players being paid 500k over the cap. If the purpose of the cap is level the playing field does it matter who pays the dollars. Maybe for cap purposes contract value should be counted.

I'm happy with all the changes happening at the club.
I don't know about Barrett's coaching but I feel he's the guy to take our heads out of the 80's Bulldogs butt.
We've been hiding behind the whole 80's Bulldogs dynasty mantra for too long. The game has gone past it a long time ago. We haven't. Time to modernise our game, our coaching and even our pigeon stadium.
Let the Bulldogs 80's era belong to the 80's. It's Time for the Bulldogs 20's

Zef, thanks for that input. I was thinking down the same track so your opinion may be close to the money. The only one I am unsure of is Stimson. Having not see him play I don't know how he will go with us, I hope he surprises.

Absolutely IMPERATIVE we sign Tom Tom Starling. I'll only accept Cam Smith, Brandon Smith or Harry Grant as alternatives. No one else. No one.

He must be in the running for most overrated player in 2020....along with many of his bronco teammates. So I’m guessing you’ve seen him play once... probably as many games as youve seen Starling play... He played 6 games this year... and two of those covering the halves... how could he possibly be the most over rated player in 2020???... Oh and 2 of the games he played they won, and a third went off injured...
If you want over rated, have a good look at the Parra squad you waxed lyrical about for the first 8 weeks of the comp... Have a look at the Souths halves...
The most over rated thing of 2020 is your opinion of your opinion...

The elation over the SA border opening. The obsession with the Queensland border restrictions. Why is everyone so eager to get out of NSW.

I suppose The Broncos are the opposite reason. The Broncos media coverage up here is a cure for constipation. Could have been a kid up here wearing a Broncos jersey. As the Apple ad says Puke Emoji. Luckily the grandparents up here loved their bulldog so much they followed the bulldogs. Moolooaba eh' Spent 1 year of of my life down there mainly in Troppo's at the old Mooloolaba Hotel. Thursday arvo, Friday and Saturday nights plus big Sunday sessions in the bar. The year I was old enough to get in and 12 months later some developer turd down there tore it down. The only thing that kept me sane down there working for Jacka Fishing Co.The last night there ever was huge. Slept on ground across the road in the caravan park. The people who had their van on the spot were not very happy with me falling all over their camping chairs then disposing of the filtered XXXX through the air like I was hosing down a burning building The old Sunny Coast was a great place
