he has to be our 6
Douhie can play centre or make like a tree and leaf
@helmesy where would u play him at tigers?
6
I agree, I was on the record saying I wasn’t sold on him as a half, I was wrong.
Burton is the type of 6 that people imagine Doueihi is.
It will be a tricky situation if we get CC and then Burton. Douhie has been a passionate tiger but he has limitations in his game and is on tape saying he wants to play 6. I doubt if CC comes he will care where douhie wants to play and will do what he wants (CC if he comes will be the most powerful coach we have had since sheens in terms as his security).
Bulldogs marquee recruit Matt Burton has reportedly informed the club he will not take up a player option for the 2024 season.
The 22-year-old signed a two-year deal in 2021 with a third year in his favour — but will now be able to test the open market come November 1.
So Ciraldo is obviously not heading to the kennel

But ...but ...but what about Brooks

I cant get my head around players (not picking on AD) saying I want to play at.....
Especially unproven players like AD in a team that is struggling as bad as ours. If we got Burton (would only be with CC IMO) Doueihi can do what he is told or leave. AD is not a natural 6. Too big and slow. Centre and ultimately back row. THe only reason everyone get excited about him at 6 is we have been starved for good players in the halves.
After watching Fiji vs Kumuls… Adrian Lam or Sunia Turuva anyone?
Edit: Lachlan Lam...

But he isn't good at 6
mail on Angus Crichton he is going to Melbourne storm
Had a coffee with his cousin today he seemed very confident so expect Hooper or someone will get on it this week lol
unfortunately we are zero chance
take Brooks salary and Douhie's salary and go and buy Burton for 2024
7. Hastings
6. Burton
@declan surely if we give him 950k a season we might be able to get him
After his performance last night in SOO there will be a queue of clubs willing to pay him that kind of money.
Sadly Declan is right, the only chance he may have landed at the Tigers was if Ciraldo was the coach.
