to be fair no club would’ve taken up BJ’s option lol
Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion
- Thread starter MacDougall
- Start date
One of our sharp shooter posters did mention Tuki and Liddle have been told to find a new club so I'd expect them to be on the way out.
Interesting comment regarding Luciano backflipping...
Wouldn't get ya hopes up but it'd be great for us if he could stay. He's one of our only players who's shown improvement over the years.
We desperately need second rowers and a prop or two.... (as well as centres)

Not a bad result to be honest. He's solid but Rather go for Chrichton if we have a chance
To be honest with Luki and Jamai going so well not sure what the Cowboys will do next year in regards to the team.
I'd pay him more after this year's performances.
Holmes would be around
900k for sure. Yeah they will have salary cap issues next year for sure.
I'm with ya.
Love for him to stay and keep performing how he has.
He's been great for us and for us to lose him at his peak, was disheartening.
If we can mutually work out a refund deal with NQ and sort him out to stay that'd be ideal.

Very left field. This 18 yr old from London-Irish even looks like Billy Slater.
I read that bird has extended with dragons.
So... Since @Lee's fedora mentioned it. Can I get a discord link 😂

It would make my day if LL stayed to form a powerful Second Row.
The signatures of Tapine (tough and still in his prime), Olam (love watching him play) and Dykes (speed) would be a game changer for WT.
A centre pairing of T'oa and Olam with Laurie and/or Dykes at full back would give us a proper backline and hope of finishing in top 8 and competing with the better teams.
Big Joe has been great at lock this year and I would keep him at lock in 2023.
Twal is a keeper and best used off the bench.
Don't really know where AD fits into the side in 2023 but he is a very good player and captain material. Utility from the bench maybe?
I also feel sorry for Liddle but we have better coming to the club in 2023 so hopefully picks up another club in 2023. Tuki Simpkins has been a major flop.

If true glad we missed out on Bird. Too injury prone and we have been though that countless times. We really need bang for our buck and stop signing overs for has beens or never was

They have to pay minimum nrl wage, last year was around mid 70k and up. When you pick your supercoach/fantasy team your forced to put in a lot of cash "cows" to keep within the cap.
I wonder what's happening with the cows next year. The way I figure it, they're going to have some "cash cowboys" in the top 30 or start unloading.
Where's our member accountants to show us a salary table? 😀
BIRD TO STAY WITH DRAGONS
Dragons utility Jack Bird has reportedly re-signed on a two-year deal with a mutual option for a third. The club increased their offer after the 27-year-old knocked back their initial two-year offer, according to News Corp. It's understood the deal is worth around $550,000 a season

Great work WTs. Not only has he a mutual 3rd year option but they've paid more for him to stay.

I would imagine contracts could be reneged by mutual agreement. The trouble is we wouldn't be offering the amount the cows are reportedly paying him.
