Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

That's how it was portrayed in the media at the time.
Eels low balled him upfront, Bulldogs didn't & put in a nice sweetener as well upfront.
He told the Eels, they then rushed back quickly with another offer and he signed with Bulldogs.
Eels stuffed up.

People need to remember Hookers don't get a huge price tag on them, we got Api for a steal considering the prices players are potentially getting 24 onwards.

Good faith is always the best approach, including with the Koroisau situation.

Expect that if no particular clause exists, WT will still act in good faith by sweetening it somewhat, as successful partnerships are based on good faith.

Wighton is average and has low intelligence. Pass.

Do you watch rugby league? That comment will just about do me.

I think Dogs got a good deal. 450 was way unders and is the parra way. Mahoneys strength was JMK's weakness, which was fast good ball from dummy half. Mahoneys hooker speed allows players like Moses to use their natural ability with some room. Add a rolling forward pack and itll make weak teams look like swiss cheese. Id value Mahoney 650k, now that we know there is a good cap increase, 700k.

Centre.

Ohhh ! yeh he is a awesome centre, I'd love him to play centre

That's him aye.

Gould is quoted as saying he never underpays a player.
Seems to buy good faith in players and makes them want to be under him. Tigers and eels are always looking for that sneaky deal.
We do two things, undercut, or go way over.

Leb, I have another leb mate who says same thing about Moses.

So what you are saying is we are $200k/$250k above dogs per annum? And he still hasn’t signed with us?

If that’s correct we’re done.

Look at the bright side at least Lee hasn't publicly declared that we are going after Moses.

Let’s be real we were never a chance of getting munster 😂

I agree with him. Wighton is close to the dumbest player in the NRL. Athletically gifted but he's dumb as

 

[Scorpion]

That isnt how I remember it.

I remenber there was a scandal that eels undercut him and offered him 400 or 450. Then came back at 500 whereas the dogs came in with a no BS up front offer. I distinctly recall journalists reporting that that why Mhoney was impressed, dogs went stright for the jugular.

Eels offer was 3 yrs at $450Dogs was 4 yrs at $650
Also Burton offered a upgraded 4 yr for $3.7m

 

[Moh]

I feel much more confident in the Moses chat than JAC or LM. But let's see...

I'd give them AD (if he wants to play in the halves) if it brings Moses in 23.

Are you their agent - or do you pluck those figures from the same place the journos you evidently trust do?

Honestly us not signing moses does not mean were done.
Cmon were tigers Fans. Clubs worst halves pairing Moses + Brooks! We damn well know this.

Were done because our rep is crap. Players see us as the next spoon.

Also, odd for WT to be compaired to Parra. I see Parra as having good players but having Money hungry players like Gutho, Moses and Matterson. Other then Doueihi and Nofo dont see the same at the WT.

Instead i see Brooks and a bunch of players getting stupid overs and long term contracts on low performance.

It took Brad Arthur 4 years + to rebuild Parra. Were in for the same ride.

You just invalidated any right to an adult opinion by suggesting non-tacklers Douehi & Nofa are our "good players"!!
