Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[JB9918]

Dolphins have a young promising 6 & 7 on the books. Their forward pack is average & Bennett is the coach for 1 more year. Latu is 18 & to move to QLD with no family support I doubt it.

Young kid from western Sydney he would have looked up to Benji surely. Throw in 1 brother at the club, we sign the other one. Plus a quality forward pack, the best 1 & 9 in coming years & the Fulton & Tartak connection.

Quietly confident we land him if the offer is good. I would think 4 year deal., MO on the 4th to negotiate. Year 1 $400K, Year 2 $500K, Year 3 $600K. 3 years at $1.5mil isn't bad for an 18yo. Still unders on the Brooks offer.

Then can still target a good option as 7, based on the names thrown out I'd want Walker. 3 years @ $900k or if it's Trindall 3 years @ $650K (apparently on $300K at the Sharks currently).

Gonna be an interesting few days!

We are good at looking and talking, terrible at getting anything

Best post ever. Factual and succinct.

The media has been reporting the last few days that Fainu is already on $500k per year with 2 years to run on the contract. I believe we’d need to offer more than that to entice him over.

Its not that much, closer to $360K

Geez this could get real ugly.
Uncle Wayne doesn’t miss his target often.
Hope the Fulton move delivers.

Can I have whatever you’re smoking.
There’s a list a mile long of players that Bennett missed out on.

 

[Eternal Tiger]

we apparently had made some enquiries about Keary but doubt he would come here either or Roosters would release him

The guy is one head tap away from oblivion. He's a HIA disaster

I don't know, I wouldn't completely rule Taafe out as a 7. He has played there plenty as junior and does tick some boxes. Good short kicking game, decent long kicking, would be strong defensively, goal kicker and any player that can fill in at full back will have a decent running game as a 7. First grade experience and at the right age to make leaps in his game. Sometimes being a utility early in your career gets you experience without the number 7 pressure. I doubt there will be another Hynes situation, but you never know.

Taafe needs to go to tafe.

Have you heard if it is still on or off?

 

[tigerap]

US or Wayne.... We all know how this ends unfortunately ..
But I thought Fulton was the closer so maybe Benji wants to talk to him first.

We are loosing ground with this….Sunday he was a certainty, Tuesday not so sure….Fulton has sweat beads on his forehead

Price fixing.

Following this club is like self inflicted torture. Surely someday something has to turn things around.

 

[Needaname]

Suppose it's not the end of the world but why is there still nothing official on the club's website about Brooks signing with Manly or any of the related goings on. Real amateur hour stuff. That front office clean-out is now long overdue.

It’s not expected really. He is still contracted this year, unless he was being released immediately it wouldn’t make sense for the club to comment. Later in the year final thank you game there may be a comment.

 

[bathursttiger1]

Reece Walsh found guilty. Just debating what sentence. NRL asking for 4 weeks.

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

Benji will meet with Latu Fainu tomorrow.

Get it done Benji.

I.think I have found a potential long term half.

Think of the big picture. 2040 plan
