the inside man on twitter for what it's worth is saying we have signedFranklin Pele
My physio contact at sharks when I asked him was like, not sure I don't want to say yes or no now as last time a few weeks ago he was confident it was across the line and done and it didn't happen. He will ask around hopefully he confirms as he will be a good pick up for us
@jedi-tiger I hope it’s true as he would be a great replacement for Mikaela.

Is Mikaele a confirmed departure?

Liam Martin or Angus Crichton, who would you choose?
Crichton for me just, one of the best second rowers in the game, Hopefully he will become a forward leader we need.
@helmesy not confirmed but off-contract and hasn’t reached his potential. I would be really surprised if he was here in 2023.
Further to the Liddle being shopped situation - looks like he could be exiting Concord for another Sydney club in the next few weeks.
This saddens me a bit. I know there is too much of a gap between his best and his worst game, but the guy has a great heart and totally committed - something too many of our players have lacked over the last few years.
Agreed. Although he is out of form and probably not fully fit, Liddle’s defence has been great. Disappointed to see him go if true.

I wonder if Simpkin’s injury changes Liddle’s future? By the sound of it a shift to another club was on the cards in coming weeks.

@helmesy surely the Liddle move wouldn't be until next year when Api comes in and Rua is upgraded?
With the Bulldogs about to sack Barrett, should we go all in on Matt burton to play 6 in 2024?

it would be a hard message for fans given how vocal Douhie has been in support of Madge and the club but I am pretty sure Burton is a better 6 than douhie or brooks.
if you could move on Douhie and Brooks and sign Burton to play 6 and keep Madden tharlt would be a good move

Barrett had to go. No sensible club would persist with a coach who has only won 2 games all season. Must be nice to have someone like Gould in power who is happy to make the hard decisions rather than just farting around hoping something might change eventually.

He'll be back in this week without doubt.
Update from the Pom:
The club will officially offer Angus Crichton a 3 year contract this week worth close to $2.2million over the span of the contract, sticking point will be the issue of who will be coach as we are main attraction to him to be back under Madge.
Also Doueihi is being put through his paces today & has an appointment this afternoon with a specialist to be cleared to play this Friday.
Luke Brooks early indication is grade 1 hamstring 2-4 weeks.
The talk of Franklin Pele is new to anyone at the club, his management last informed the club he had better offers elsewhere.
Club also trying to fast track a move for Kade Dykes this week, they want him at the club before the bye round. 2023 terms agreed upon.

Burton will be playing under Ciraldo at the Bulldogs, so no issue.
