Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Yes. Train and trial is like a grand a week, on a rolling basis with no security. Development is for the full contractual year, not sure on value but around $75-80k I think.

Over 100k with new cap

Where did you hear this?

He is in the Dogs KOE side this week

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

So do I, but plenty on here were bagging him and wanting him on the wing or in reserve grade, when I was saying first centre picked in the preseason

I was one and am still skeptical. Has always been hot and cold style player with butter hands but he has a good rhythm atm and is genuinely trying as well. Have been impressed with how he has started the season.

A few players should follow his lead and knuckle down.

Mitch the Roostar

 

[Hbom]

Iofthetigers doesn't suggest signings.

 

[The Fresh Oil]

and clearly sheens has identified that need, or we would not have been chasing Mitch so vigorously

Are we still trusting anything sheens identifies?

Maybe we are, it’s only round 3. Round 8 I predict the turn.

 

[tigerballs]

And he just comes - That easy?
He has no interest in working with his dad under the most successful coach of all time?

Ok...

Trindall?

Sean O'Sullivan, he's the son of Peter O'Sullivan the Dolphins recruitment manager.

Sorry Lauren, I knew who he meant but he just missed my point that there are decent halves running around in KOE, rather than forking out $1.5M for a bloke who isn't worth half that.

Hope we turn our attention to Joey manu who becomes available at the end of the year or throw the entire leagues club to RTS

I hope we keep it in house instead of all over the world media.

Unfortunately I think that’s not possible with player managers

What if Wakeham turns out to be the half we've long been looking for? Does that top Api, Klemmer, Bateman and Ice?

Already had one or two free Development spots even before Kautoga left.

Pretty sure you can have 5-6 Development Players and with Kautoga gone, we’ve only got three (Ma’anaima, Feledy, Mansfield).

Not sure if they’ll upgrade someone else like Bula to make it four.

I think it's more an amount of money available in the cap than a number of players.
There's a minimum amount (60k maybe) but it's not capped per player...
- I think they were looking at moving it up around 700k (including train and trialists) in the new cap.

Welcome to planet earth - Are you planning on staying long?

I'm very confident wakeham will kill it.

I didn't miss your point at all....
You missed my point in that - There's also 16 other clubs they can sign for.

I love the over-rating of reserve grade halves....
There's been teams without 2 established halves for years, But somehow,
- all these blokes listed at nauseum here are still in KOE Cup?

 

[batboy]

I'm very confident wakeham will kill it.

I'm super confident he will never reach the levels of any of the players he was compared to.

Now is his time.

 

[TillLindemann]

I'm super confident he will never reach the levels of any of the players he was compared to.

I'm confident he will never descend to the level of Brooks and Doueihi
