Yeah I'm watching, great game. He wasnt on long but made a couple good runs.
Haven't watched a quality game for awhile! Use to one of the teams falling apart..

14-0 to Bronco's at the 35min mark. Bronc's making the ladder leaders look pretty ordinary. Bronc's d is the stuff we can only dream about!
Dogs just scored 14-6. James looks solid. How can we get our hands on Reynolds?

Dogs were very impressive in the 2nd half and took the game from the Broncos. Martin Taupau scored a beaut and Barba too. Gavet went alright, nothing special but still a solid debut. KRISNAN INU was mean.

that ship has sailed but he is really stepping up and making his presence felt at centre. good reads and agressive defence mixed with very good attack. something we seem to be missing here. james gavet looked reasonable, i guess it's hard to pick everyone to keep here. you would hope we would have better understanding of who to keep and who to let go, or maybe we are to close to make a good, fair assessment of players

sounds like bulldogs fans a stoked with his debut game some even saying he's got a touch of sbw to his game oh shit what have the warriors let go. hope he has a strong season.

"He's a good trainer." - Warriors management on why we retain so many nuffies. It's not a direct quote, but it's probably accurate enough to be.

Hard not to be absolutely envious of the Dogs. Literally have pinched the best available talent with a seemingly never ending salary cap. Their NSW Cup team is stacked to the brim with fringe first grade talent. With flukish luck they managed to pinch the best coach in the comp when he had a blue with his own management. They've debuted hardly a soul, but are reaping the rewards of their lucky, yet clever signings. The bastards..

Let Go of their better players, then regret it.
Mean time the Warrior Fkwits who are paying for Inu to star at the dogs have taken letting go your good players to a whole new level.

I can't argue with you there BS as you, myself and others have followed him over the past few years. Bluey should not have let him go but it's been an absolute blessing for him. I had the pleasure of visiting him yesterday at Belmore (the Dogs spiritual home) and he's in a good space - clearly the environment there, for him at least, far exceeds what he was exposed to at the Warriors (Vulcans). The Dogs management and players still can't understand why he was let go by the Warriors (Bluey!).
Des has instilled a culture that nurtures young blood. A case in point is Sunday's game against the Broncs; Kasiano and Graham were both out so Des opted to shape their 'middle' around Aiden Tolman with Taupau, Gavet and Payne supporting him! Notice the impeccable timing of introducing Taupau after some good set completions and territory and it resulted in a try to big Marty. It's often said that a good coach manifests itself in his players wanting to play for him. That's definitely the case at the Dogs!

Would of preferred to have been retained at the Warriors as well...but as you say PL a blessing in disguise...I bet Uncle Eddie was proud

i think its more to do with the fact that most all our players and union converts across the country have great potential that other clubs seem to harness better than the warriors. i dont think we have the resources as a club to truly bring out all the potential in these players while the challenge of keeping them under the cap as well. unfortunately sometimes are recruitment cant also recognize the potential that other clubs see. maybe its time for some changes in those departments.
