Welcome to the Bulldogs - Tim English

[Scorlibo]

With Tim, he's obviously been living in a different state to Rudi for a while now, but at some point I'd expect them to want to be together. The good news here is that she is moving to Melbourne for netball and I'm confident that this will be the stability they could be looking for.

That's very positive news for us (and them). Reportedly she's signing on for two years to play in Melbourne.

Question Time:

1. How many years should Tim ask for?
2. How many years should the club give him to stay?

I think 5 years is reasonable. We have nurtured him and primed him for the role, and he owes us.

Tim should ask for 6 years and we should probably offer 5.

At least with Tim not being a crash and bash ruckman he's a decent chance at a long career. Dean Cox played until 33, Goldy looks like playing until 40! Gawn turns 32 at the end of the year and still looks like he's got a few years in him yet.

The thing I also like about Tim is that if he started to slow down later in his deal he could also be used as a very effective forward.
