NRL Player Movements & Rumours

[Cult]

Looks like Jake Clifford to the Knights has been announced. The Cowboys have been their own worst enemy the last few years. Who are they replacing him with?

Ponga, Kikau, Clifford and I’m sure there’s a few more. Cows recruitment stinks recently.

I don't see this being a good outcome for Clifford either really. Unless they really are moving Pearce on.

If not, Pearce has one spot locked down, then they have Blake Green, Phoenix Crossland, now Clifford, and that's before they work out what they're going to do with Connor Watson who is definitely not going back to Fullback or Dummy Half.

That is a lot of Halves who are going to expect to play first Grade to try and jam into just two positions.

And Kurt Mann

And Kurt Mann

Can't believe I missed him. He was close to their best this year.

 

[Waynesaurus]

Yeah its weird move for Clifford but maybe he didn't like his treatment at the Cows, what it does probably mean is that the Cowboys will be looking to extend Drinkwater's contract and lock him in to play in the halves.

 

[Cult]

Surely Pearce is on the way out. Should be on the phone to Bellamy. They need a halfback and he’d be good for his game.

I never saw that being in doubt to be honest.

Pearce at Melbourne would be very bad for the rest of the NRL.

Pearce to dogs just for laughs

Widdop looking to return to the NRL - Cowboys in the box seat for his services (Which would allow them to release Clifford early to the Knights)

That is a great pick up for the Cows and they have a really talented coach to get the best out of that group.

Gotta hand it to the Dogs, they're making some good signings.

 

[Kimlo]

Barret is an excellent recruiter.

 

[Kooly87]

Gotta hand it to the Dogs, they're making some good signings.

So they sign him for 2022 and now agitate for an early release to get him over there for next year. That is how you get quality players who are not off contract in the NRL.

FMD, if Trent Barrett and the dysfunctional Bulldogs front office can manage it, how the **** does a $50+ million dollar a year publicly traded company that is supposedly the best operator in the business not seem to grasp it or be able to make it happen?

The Dogs have been trying to sort their crap for a while and only now seem to be starting to get on top of it........................we however are still in our early phase of crap sorting particularly after a major setback that was the last 2 years.

You'd have to be able to recognise and acknowledge 'crap' first and the people running the Broncos seem thoroughly incapable of that, even when they see it in the mirror on a daily basis.

Gutted we didnt go for Burton.
