So that’s the Klemmer/Hastings player swap? How much did they get Hastings for then?
Klemmer was on the outer at Newcastle and I reckon we could have got him anyway.
Also seems pretty obvious now they didn’t want Brooks at anywhere near full freight and we wouldn’t kick in.
Love having Klemmer but can’t understand why we would give Newcastle a halfback for basically nothing.

Oh gosh, back here again

I get ur anger , but how can u bag the club , sheens has done a great job so far to rebuild a useless forward pack , but u can’t buy everyone in one season, we will shed more dead wood next year and hopefully bring in some class backs , so support the club while they continue to rebuild and if it fails then u can unload on them .

Fyi

Moses on a 5 yr deal is better than klemmer and Bateman on 4 yr deals. Even at 1.4M. That’s the price you pay for losing him in the first place.

Gus has done an amazing job with the dogs to date (in 12 months!!) and all this “they’ll lose players and he’s messed up their cap” is absolute one sided WT mediocrity. He has signed who’s he’s wanted (bar MM) and hasn’t lost a player to date. And he transformed panthers by securing funding from Packer. Wish Pascoe and Lee had thought of bringing him in before Dogs did… but losers don’t win.

Also we need two more marquee players in the backs to be a top 8 eight contender - at least one in halves.

Article in DT suggests otherwise. Dogs had to go cap in hand to Leagues club for a $6mil handout. Its not so much the cap thats the problem its the ancillary spending that has gone through the roof since Gus arrived. Only Sydney NRL club that is still heavily dependent on pokies revenue from their leagues club.

We could find a few backs from the lower grades. There is a lot of talent and one or two just need to work hard and impress the coaching team. I am optimistic we have solutions in our own backyard for our backs.

Like Bula? Tupou?

Yes they're very good. I like Scolari - pace, spirit, defence and good under the high ball.

Please guys my heart can't take it. I liked it better when the sentiment was that Moses would re-sign with Parra. Now you're saying he's still a good chance to come here.

Where does it say that? - Just another assumption with no factual evidence.

it'll be 2.2 mil by the time Slothfeild gets hold of it.

Milford has played in a grand final and lead teams into the finals. Yes he has issues and he is clearly no DCE/Cleary/Townsend/Hugues/etc.

Still, with Milford he has realised something in his career. Wayne Bennett will get the most out of him, as he does with many players.

I honestly thought the criticism would be around the JMK hooker or Sean O'Sullivan who is fairly unproven. Not saying it's a great spine, but it's one that can get the job done behind their pack.

I suspect Wayne is looking at the whole Moses drama and will make an offer to AD. (not a good one, but a fair one.).

Gee whiz crazycat, that is out of left field.

I've heard we've gone up to 2.5 million but only 125k on the cap.

 

[Fingers83]

The club are not offering $1.6 million for Moses. No one is that silly, if you believe it, book a doctors appointment asap.

may as well just give him the club at this point. I mean Balmain essentially already gave his uncle all their finances so why not do the same for him.

True. As much as I would be over the moon to have MM on board, I even think 1.4 million is paying overs.

Moses manager squeezing club/s for everything he can get. With big dollars comes big expectations. I was all for it but now be content to focus on how the Brooks/ Douehi combo goes behind improved pack and without the distraction of what will or won't happen next season. Time for these two to show their worth and for the coaches to back up their decisions through improved individual performances.

 

[diego]

Do we see a world where Doueihi stays on if we sign Moses for 2024?

We basically got Klemmer for free this year and your concerned.
Tigers would not have paid any to Knights for Hastings and if we got Klemmer for 400k that is a bargain. Hastings was on around 400-500k I believe as well. Very Smart business especially if we land Moses.

There are no leaks so how do we know what has or hasn't occurred?
