I have a feeling losing Curren is more to do with the 2025 cap rather than the 2024.
He was told he was welcome to stay for 2024 but couldnt be resigned after that so the club done right by him.
It’s almost November 1…..

I'm not crying, you're crying

I'm not crying, you're crying

He looks like he's been crying too!

 

[shuffle]

Faaarrrr and he just started playing finals!!!!

 

[Dantheman]

Will miss him but onto the next one. After a long time, I have complete faith in this club - Webby and Mcfadden know what they are doing.

As much as I back the club and this decision……this just looks yuk!!!
I hope he likes wrestling

Gutting that NZ talent scouts let this guy sign with Broncos.

Young Kiwi accused of cheating due to size still chasing NRL dream

Two years ago Olu Siohane-Hune was accused of playing in the wrong age grade because of his impressive stature, but the 13-year-old hasn't let it slow him down.

Thirteen-year-old Olu Siohane-Hune's start to rugby league stands out for many reasons other than his impressive 1.83 metre stature.

Just one of many mate, we can't keep them all and not all of them want to be here either.

 

[JaggedJ]

Is that an old article or has he signed with the Broncos since?

That article didn't mention anything about who he had signed with - if anyone.

It's the flip-side of giving a young player a go: a more senior player the fans like for whatever reason has to be released to give that player a go.

It's also not like Webby and Cappy have done the Seth Effrikan Rugby and left us with only one player who can play in that position.

Forced smile, weepy eyes, and a broken finger. I reckon Gould is off camera with a pair of pliers. Josh thought he was just popping over for a cup of coffee...

You can't tell me anyone would sign for the Bulldogs without duress.

Seriously though, I'm surprised it is only two years at his age. Perhaps one of the parties isn't entirely sure how it will turn out?

 

[Noitall]

Manly offering Olakau’atu a $7mil 8 year contract. Already had DCE and both Trbojovichs on long and expensive deals. Dangerous contract for lazy players that can just cruise once not playing for another contract.

Finger injury is a stress fracture from overuse while driving away from Penrose.

Actually a stress fracture from all the times he had to teach Matt lodge which finger to use.

It seems the Bulldogs recruitment strategy is for players in headgear.

Hyphenated names are way cooler.

 

[jonesy101]

Hyphenated names are way cooler.

They decided that previous strategy didn't work for them.

 

[shuffle]

Hyphenated names are way cooler.

Ado-Carr would fit in our backline then!

He hasn't signed with Broncos, it's a camp which has been run with association with a few clubs including Broncos according to the article, he said he'd like to play for the Warriors or Broncos in the article too.
