Joshua Curran

Well, the Bulldogs are a bit of a weird one at the moment because they've confirmed four players leaving.

We obviously knew about Josh Curran, Jonathan Stewart and Bronson Cherry.

They've also confirmed Lipoi Hopoi, who we believe is off to Canberra, is leaving.

What that does though is leave seven players off contract.

So that could be interesting as well.

Josh Curran, price to the 30.

He'll be over at the Perth Bears along with Liam Henry and a few other guys as well.

So he'll be a guy that we're almost certainly bringing into our fantasy sides.

I wanna know why Bronson Xerri was in and out of the side.

Why one week a middle forward, Josh Curran, was picked to start in the centers.

Mm.

Why did that happen? You know, this has been such a dismal season, and one of the problems I do have with Cameron Ciraldo is that he-- I've never seen him at a press conference take ownership and say, "Oh, shit, we might have got that wrong tactically." I hear Bellamy say it all the time.

Bailey Haywood is your number nine in the back rows of Billy Army Kickow and Jacob Preston with Jamin Salmon at lock forward.

The six-man bench is Jake Turpin, Alakasami Jones, Harry Hayes, Josh Curran, Jed Reardon, and Jack Underhill.

The reserves of Logan Spinks, Sean O'Sullivan, and Kurt Mann in the 23.

I'd suggest that if Kurt Mann is ready to go, he will play in this game.

Yeah.

Like Josh Curran.

Right.

Great at the Warriors.

So, yeah, certainly a wait and see.

I mean, look, I wouldn't be shocked if one or two of these players that have signed with us actually fall out the other end and land back in the Super League quicker, sooner rather than later if we do hit the top 30 crunch because again some of these players probably signed with the idea that there could be an opportunity and you know then you go and sign the likes of cory horsbrough morgan smithies in the forwards obviously um you know siffer talakai josh curran and then it's like well maybe there isn't as much of an opportunity as, as originally thought for someone like a, a Luke Smith, you know, 23 year old, um, by all reports going pretty well for the London Broncos over in the, uh, English second tier played two games for the Bulldogs at, at NRL level back in 24, 25.

Um, you know, maybe, maybe he just sticks it out in the English system for a little bit longer, even though there does seem, seem to be a little bit of promise with him.

Um, Maybe it's someone like an Isaac Faas or Maliawi.

So you like the potential emergence of a Zach Lipovich.

in conjunction with the veteran age of a Scott Sorensen potentially.

And then again, coming back to someone like a Luke Smith and some of our other forwards like Josh Curran, who still has plenty of time as well, but you get them all over there.

Let them fight it out.
