Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

You might be right, nothing on either the Dogs or the Eels forum. You would expect something would have leaked out if he had put pen to paper

It just doesn’t make sense to me at his age, signing a 3 year deal potentially leaves a lot of money on the table and the risk of coming off contract at 30 if he gets injured he’s worth a lot less.

I hope we have a plan B , mine would be two pommies , Williams and Welby, now if we have offered Moses $1.2 million , I would offer Williams $800,000 and welby $650,000 that’s $1.45 million so for $250,000 we get two players , just my plan B

Be nice, but you would have to pay more plus a ton in transfer fees

Why do all of our signing negotiations go on longer than Days of Our Lives? Just announce something already!

Wow great to see you back!

Just read that dogs are offering Stephen Crichton 1 mill a year to play fullback. If this is true then I cannot see how Moses can be there too on big coin. Maybe they know that they have missed out on him. Also said 1 Sydney based club has offered Nanai 4.2 mill for 5 years, I hope it is us.

The club has done well lately with good solid 1st graders. However, with our strike rate on marquee players we should do a Gus and go after Crichton and anyone else the Dogs are interested in ..just to make the Dogs pay more than what they’d like to.
I don’t care if the media has a crack at the WTs because they have missed out on player X.. at least we are having a crack and putting the pressure on other clubs.

I want one of those official releases to state we haven't signed someone like we did with Ciraldo. Do one of those every couple of days and then announce Woodsy is coming back.

You could be on to something. Friendlyjordies showed how to clean dirty money using pokies. Wouldn't be surprised if someone in the NRL is using this to pay players extras. It was incredibly easy and untraceable.

Like when Hannant won $200k on a scratchie? Reckoned it was the only time he bought one. Sus as shit.

There is a difference between pure speculation by the media and speculation based on what we are giving them.

And you will never know the difference. So my point is - why bother to worry? You will never know for sure if it's a club leak or just media BS. It's probably media BS even if it involves a club leak.

Some concerns here. How old is Williams now? All players lift , when playing for their country, how was his regular form ? Remember. this is a slow build ! We are aiming for 2025 . we don't want players past their best , when we get in the position to try for the top 8 .

Just a follow up;. Half a dozen new stars arrive on the scene every year. 3 years ago most of the current young stars, Burton, Lui, Paps,Hynes, and many more were not mentioned or around. By 2025 our objective year, there will be a whole new range of talent on the market.
We must be careful , we do not want a roster filled with ageing players , and not have the money or cap space to buy others.

Anyone seen this kid and Robbie play at around the same age, is the article accurate.

If dogs get him, so be it. We move. Don't dwell too much on it.

If Wests tigers miss out spend some of the money on Farnsworth and a couple of upcoming halves.
