You serious Noa?  Why would we send Brett White to Them and take their discard 31 year old prop?  I know Bellamy likes Canberra players but geez I hope not.  I would rather Steve Simpson if we are going for a bench prop veteran.

From what I've seen so far, I'm a big wrap for Tohu Harris.  Hope we lock him in for years to come as he seems to be solid in defence, have good go forward and I just love his offload.

Was also impressed with Sione Kite on the weekend.

A certain member from the Bulldogs media camp has been gloating about Blair signing a 3 year deal with the club. On top of this he's confidently stated that Greg Eastwood has signed a 3 year deal with the Doggies. Hopefully this is not true.

Exactly, when you consider they've gone and got

Greg Eastwood (TBC)
Aiden Tolman
Trent Hodgkinson
Kris Keating

and they have put a lucrative offer towards Blake Ferguson.

All the above players are rep players bar Keating so they wouldnt be on peanuts. Then consider they've only lost Blake Green and Luke Patten and Kimmorley. Seems abit out of left field.

Is Jeremy Smith on the way back from the Dragons ? i hope he is he would be ideal for the younger guys a bit off beef in the pack.

Dean Ritchie on radio this morning said we are close to signing Jake Marketo from the dragons and are trying to get Adam Woolnough to come out of retirement to play for us.

This is why I said Id would only take Simpson as an assistant coach

Stanley Waqa is training with the first grade squad as of today.
He was about to sign at the start of the year but the salary cap news broke and now has finally signed. No news on how long yet.
He's a prop forward, played a few games for Roosters in 09.
"Better to have Won then Lost, than to have never won at all" Arrogant, but true hahahaha
