Hutch to sign with Bulldogs

[Mickie Lane]

Payback for keeping Watson I suppose?


Anyone think RAYMOND FAITALA-MARINER worth a contract?

The secret to winning the comp is developing players not buying players.
Penrith, Melbourne & to a slightly lesser degree the Broncos have developed 95% of their players & are the 3 most successful clubs.
The Chooks have to try harder to develop players if they want to be a top 4 side.

yeah, i think sandon smith is worth keeping at 14. i'd also be happy if we can keep turpin but smith might develop into a replacement for keary

Agree 100%, Sandon has a big future at the Roosters, also Turpin will not be retained. As for Hutchinson every time he was asked to do a job he did it to the best of his ability. Good luck Hutch

[Kelby]

In Sandon Smith and Watson, we trust.

[Mickie Lane]

Wow...ok...i didn't see that one coming.

Still i'd be surprised if Hutch is a regular starter there (In top 17).

The dogs roster is pretty good.

You’ve got to be taking the p#ss.
The Dogs will finish nowhere near the 8 again next year because they are not developing players.
The more players you buy the less chance you have of winning the comp. Times have changed.

So who is the new Maubs now?

[Davo]

Brent Read speculating Turpin also has signed with the Bulldogs.

[rented tracksuit]

Nooooooo he's become part of the furniture around here.

I guess Salvo will be heading to the Kennel?

Let’s bloody well hope so!

[roosterchook]

Good luck to Hutch. He’s done his best here and deserves a good deal.

[Brick]

All the best to Hutch. Always admired his efforts and he made valuable contributions to the team.

[TumutChook]

I find it funny that so many people say good luck to Hutch as he’s not in the Dogs best 17. I mean he’s no star, filled a role when we needed but that Dogs list is deadset garbage & would be lucky to beat some NSW/QLD cup sides. They have no depth in the Halves ,he will play a high percentage of games. By the sound of it though you’d think their list is better than ours considering he has played plenty for us.

Brent Read speculating Turpin also has signed with the Bulldogs.

Interesting as I thought he has been better than the Cheese at Hooker. Moving forward Sandon as back up Hooker?

[King Salvo]

Brent Read speculating Turpin also has signed with the Bulldogs.

Tyler Moriarty (Dummy Half) has been added to the top 30 squad in 2024 joining fellow Junior and Senior pathways players in Sandon Smith , Siua Wong and Robert Toia.in the NRL squad

Who said the Roosters can't develop players to NRL and NRLW standard

You can't be serious Mick. Toups, Sualli, Manu, Smith, Walker, Jared, Lindsay, Egan, Nat, Rads, Wong, Sitili, Fletcher Baker, Whyte all current first graders all I would say developed by the Chooks.

FFS stop creaming yourself over every other club.

[morley101]

I would not be surprised once he retires he goes into coaching...

[QWERTY]

Apparently Turpin is off to the Bulldogs. The Mole reported it though so could be fake news.
