About time we had some shithousery in our team.

We have been saying we are too nice for a while, hopefully mcguire will go some way to addressing that. Let's see if we are moaning about disciplinary issues this time next season.

The game & the disciplinary have moved on ... that silly booty Dylan Napa (Catalan) is a fine example of a "tough man" arriving in the game.
Sorry but ... our Supporters need to move on too.

Are you saying you wouldn't take a 25 year old benny Westwood again right now because the game has moved on? There is still loads of room in rugby league for a tough uncompromising player, so long as they realise their first contribution should be effective disciplined rugby.

We can't write off mcguire as an ill disciplined waste yet can we, he could be a brilliant signing.

Just what we need to charge our team up. Even if he gets banned a few times, it's worth having his influence to fire up the forwards and get some much needed aggression in our game.

Fascinating. I must pay more attention to Dragons games when they're on the magic telebox.

Same. I'll be watching near enough all NRL games this weekend.

Dufty is back in the squad for the Bulldogs but as a reserve for now.

Anyone wanting to check out the new recruits this week:
Josh McGuire - Friday at 9am
Paul Vaughan / Matt Dufty - Sunday at 5am

Neither game on Sky Sports.

PLEASE NOTE:
- I would strongly advise against using a VPN and connecting to a new server
- Then I would strongly advise against going to buffstream.fun to watch the game

Indeed. A lot have moved on and stopped watching. Our average crowd is down 20% on pre covid levels.

From what I’ve seen of McGuire (which isn’t a massive amount, admittedly) he isn’t just ALL grubbery, he’s also got a handy side to his game as well. If he’s an on-field leader in terms of getting stuck in and uncompromising in defence, then I’ll take it. I don’t want to start a bring-back-the-biff thread, but remember when a team could get into the oppositions faces and put them off their game? We could really do with some of that now.

Who are we about to announce as our next/final signing for 2023, will it finally be Matt Dufty or someone else?

he looks like a right dirty s0d... let's hope he can channel his talent for RL rather than his talent for the dark arts... like Sir Les did back in the day. We need a bit of more controlled aggression in the team...but its totally useless if it spends 70% of its time sat in the stands.

70% was an underestimate.
