Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I really like Douiehi but who cares. I think he has the potential to be a real good player but potential doesn't really matter. He is a long way off being a marquee talent in this comp.

The media (who cares about them 😂) continually say he's our best player.

Bellamy wants him.

There's reasons for this.

As I advised yesterday, Bellamy wanted Brooks to replace Cronk. Smith confirmed it. There is a reason for this as well.

They’re both off contract at the same time. Let’s see who he goes after.

Have you heard of Jerome Hughes?

You seem to apply the same logic as the time you came at me with the hard hitting question about whether Sheens will be given the same time as Maguire. It was lost on you of course that Sheens is only here for two years to mentor Benji.

If one of the top teams in the comp think he's good enough for them, he must be good enough for us. We would be stupid letting him go.

Storm want Douiehi.

great see ya adam

Bellamy is retiring very soon as he stated recently stated. Melbourne will return to the pack. They are already showing signs of desperation, Adam Doueihi is not. He is captain in waiting at the WT.

Retention is just as important as recruitment. We can't buy marquees because we can't retain enough decent players to play with them.

I think he is our best player as well but he isn't that good. We shouldn't pay overs for him. That is exactly what we did for Brooks.

Brooks doesn't get judged on his performance. He gets judged on his performance as our marquee player.

Not sure what you’re going on about, but both Brooks and Doueihi have predominantly played 6 this year which incidentally is the same position Munster plays.

Feel free to justify in your head why Doueihi is preferred however you like.

He is a bad judge of talent ???

I honestly don't know. I just think that we should be careful of where we allocate good dollars. Bellamy might have wanted Brooks at 500k on his salary cap. The same as Doueihi.

We should retain players that we can afford based on their performance.

100%. This is why I didn't want to lose Matterson, Luc and Aloiai.

I don’t think anyone thinks Doueihi should be paid silly money, but given he’s probably in our top 2 players (I rate Hastings higher), we should be trying to keep him if we can.

If he’s asking similar money as a Burton or Dylan Brown then he’s not worth that price IMO.

I agree. I've been Doueihi's biggest fan but he isn't a top 6 in the comp or anywhere close to it. He should be paid accordingly.

Earl guess here AD gets $700/750k per year with us next contract, minimum on top of Kpi s and other extras.

 

[LeichhardtTiger]

A few members have been saying we should sign Jayden Okunbor. He just let in a soft try in reserve grade for the dogs.
Cini looks like he's cemented a spot in Parra's reserves. 🤔

No way - he'd send the CoE Barber Shop broke in under a month!

That is way overs. Melbourne won't pay that.

I don't think Munster would be on that now. That is the difference between us and them.
