Recruitment and retention

[Red]

Read somewhere that he trained at 5/8

I read he trained there as well but not consistently.

Was thinking cobbo to centre fuller to wing and permission to rove around in attack

Not a bad idea but it's not as if our wingers have been letting us down. And Bostock will be back shortly. I can only see dropping Averillo or Kodi. Or dropping Hammer......

n funny that knowles is going well

Going well? 0 T, 0 LB, 0 TA, 0 LBA, 72 Avg RM, 4 OL, 9 P/RI given away. A 91% TR is good, but they need a lot more from their lock forward. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt as he adjusts to the NRL. But, the Dolphins are much more effective with Donga or Plath wearing the #13.

I agree and assume he is talk about knowles.

As you highlight the stats, i tend to use the eye test. With Plath and Donga, hr is 3rd based on what I have seen. Hr is nonexistent in attack, defensively solid with errors and penalties in him (not up to the speed of the Aust game).

And with 2 lock/Utilities why would you recruit a 3rd. If Woolf wanted him, I question his ability to be effective in the cap mgt game.

Knowles early on is no where near the other two, and id hazard a guess, if you tried to offload him, youd get no NRL takers. I have similar fears for Williams. To me a dumb move.

If anyone is telling you he is going well, they need to start watching netball. Because thr have no eye for NRL.

I don't know how Matt got on your bad side. Mr. T is ok but he has his favourites. SOS and now Kyle Flanangan are 2 of his favourites and he doesn't like anyone saying they aren't immortals, or at least superstars. But I'm not stopping. SOS is ok in QLD Cup or NSW Cup or whatever he's doing now. Kyle Flanagan shows what dads in high places can do. His dad was in a high place but his loyalty to his not NSW Cup standard son above his team has brought him down.

Dolph. One last comment on this. I mention how guys like matt troll opposition forums. He reminds me of a troll on the Dragons forum, which i no longer post on. His name was mattw5. Funnily enough a bulldogs fan posting on the dragons forum.

2. Posting much the same stuff.

3. People noticed this guys waa trolling.

4. End result, im sure you know.

I see. I get where you are coming from. He's obviously a fanatical Bulldogs fan. The whole fitness, fitness, fitness thing whever we lose is so tiresome. But he also has some good insights. That's all I'm saying.

I haven't seen him talking about the Bulldogs in a while but I don't follow all his posts so really don't know.

And he was right about Kurt Donoghue. I hardly gave him a chance of being in the best 17 in the pre season last year. Matt insisted he would be in the 17 and would do well.

he got lucky had he not adapted playing outta postion would he been even in our sides including cup , the fact he got lucky and had play outta postion then goes and plays test level for fiji at halfs ( and think about this if he not been in nrl playing in other postions who would fiiji got as half , like guy who was a ex utility said on radio few weeks ago its hardest job in game n you can easily fall of radar quick even matt couldn't picked he was going be in forwards at one stage he wa picking him to be next inline for fullback
