Can’t see ese’ese happening unless we’ve got a domestic hooker in mind

Ackers

Ackers is definitely the dream but I’m unsure how realistic it is. I’d not be totally against having houghton for another season and giving balmforth a shot, if we can’t find an attacking hooker that we actually want. There’s no point signing quota hooker who we’re not sure on because we missed out on our actual target

Franklin Pele must be a done deal, his mrs follows fc on instagram and I can’t imagine she’s a long distance fan

Some of the Social Media stalking on this thread has been fantastic. Well done everyone

My thoughts too when I read it.

Pele is in most Bulldogs 17 for next year on their forum - so they must rate him

Seems about the only way to get a young player from the NRL who is any good these days.
Price of doing business I suppose.

I don't like the clause one bit.

It's a concern but to be expected. Even if there wasn't a clause if he wanted to leave after a year there's nothing the club can do.
