Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Two promising juniors in Lochie Galvin and Ontini Large have apparently returned to us after being lured by the Eels and Roosters respectively. I think Lochie in Harold Matthews for Wests this year.
Do you know the young fullback playing for Wanderers u18'S. Corey someone?
 
Can we do that and retain all the players coming off contract?
When you take into account that even if we retain Brooks after Next season then market value for a proper second fiddle 5/8 we'd save $500k-600k per year in salary
 
Is Mitchell playing at all? JAC has been a failure outside the Storm.
JAC is one of the only doggies players that seems to be having a crack.

He knew where he was signing up for.

He's a winger and he's doing his job at the dogs and actually goes looking for work.

He's not the problem at the dogs.

Both fantastic players. It's stupid to suggest otherwise and have a look at our 3/4 line for tmrw.

First winger picked for the blues and Australia.
 
And the club can get use to finding themselves in the bottom, 3 or 4... 14th.

We won't be playing finals with Brooks in the team.
Adam will be with Wayne soon and we might land Stephen Crichton happy days as we have a 7 and 6 in Hastings and brooks
 
I think we should start a Hartigan thank you topic.
If it's true that he caused WT to miss out on TPJ, JAC, Latrine, Cory Allen, Brett Naden and some other that turned to Shite.
He didn’t miss out on them for any other reason than he was a useless fat turd….and he looked like a lesbian - not a butch one, just an ugly one.
 
So if we've lost 17yo prop Jordan Miller to the Dolphins for $150k/year for 3 years, does anyone with links in with our underage players or player managers know what we pay our Jersey Flegg / Development / Pathway players?

If the way forward for our Club is via junior development, we need to have an attractive package for junior players to stay (financial + opportunity + facilities & services + coaching + culture). Yes we will lose some players & I'm sure Sheens/Betsey/Kimmorley are working hard on this but it would be good not to lose any of our best juniors. Call me selfish!
The only way Dolphins could offer him 150k is via an NRL contract. Dev contracts are like 50-60k max.

I would hope we'd be offering Miller be a development contract for next year ourselves, you could potentially look at a 2 year Dev contract possibly an NRL contract for the third year.

Would be really leave his mates to go up and play Colts in Qld? It all seems very far fetched
 
I just commented on the other thread. How can a club like WTs afford $150k albeit for a talented young player at that age. Apparently this is how the NRL want it. It's sad for the SW of Sydney because we need more young men of his quality coming through our ranks to the NRL.
What other thread? Are the dolphins in a position to give NRL contracts to an u18 player?
