Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[BlackWhiteGold]

Question: now that Holbrook has signed on as a Rooster's assistant, who will we/should we get as the "experienced assistant" we told Tartak/Fainus we were going to install?
Would Adrian Lam come as an assistant to a battling club, or wait for a head coaching role now that's he's the king (after Leigh's win)? If not him, who should we target?

It'd have to be a package deal with son Lachlan me thinks.

Howarths a backrower now that he is filled out. Don't think he has played in the centres for a couple years.

I am a Justin Olam fan and for me a good get for the Tigers 2024 if he is on the market. Regardless of his Storm form I would encourage Benji and Fulton to have a chat with him.

Payne Haas agreed to 3 year deal with Broncos. $1.4m a year.

If true they will be releasing some as they can't keep them all.

What happened to the Xavier Willison rumours of him coming does anyone know

 

[jirskyr]

I remember he knocked back a big money offer from the Warriors last time he was off contract, to resign with the Roosters. The "extras" must be awesome to keep him there at half price.

Only club in the universe who pay players "the going rate" and nobody wants to leave.

At least Payne Haas and Tino don't BS everyone when trying to extract top dollar from their current employers.

Pangai Junior will play out the season with the Bulldogs and take up boxing.

Walking away from a $750k salary in 2024. What a gentleman and a load of s%*t!

 

[hank37w]

More likely walking away with $750k under the table to go and do something else.

He probably just "won" a share of a pub in a game of poker

TPJ leaving the Bulldogs reeks.

I think Hass’ deal averages $1.2m per year? $3.6m over 3 years?

Totally right. Don't trust Canterbury and especially don't trust Gould. The NRL should spend at least as much time forensically dissecting this as they did looking at Robbie Farah's 'deal'.

What hass deal?

The beginning of the end for the cap was when Saints fitted Gasnier into their 2010 squad paying him for next year.

Fox disrupted the game permanently but they kept the cap pretty fairly policed.

Our club needs to start breaking some rules.

I remember that. He came back from French rugby on like $50k.

I’m always happy to remind all Saints supporters that they won the comp on this basis plus the Storm had an illegitimate team. Therefore, the comp wasn’t fully competitive. Needless to say, a non full strength premiership. I for one would have defended these claims if we won it, but we didn’t. In our defence, defeated by an illegitimate Saints squad.

The Dogs Will still be paying him his full contract, outside the Cap like Josh Jackson

Well, at least it wasn't something dodgy like a round of golf.

He had a really good whole season at full back his first year.

Yes, he'd be cheap, but to improve the tigers need to make judgement calls on whether a player is going to help get you to the top or not, and he just isn't.

The fact he has signed with Penrith leads me to believe even he is happy to simply be a backup player and at least there he can hang out with his mates.

Unless Luai leaves he should've gone to a team who needs a 5/8th.

I think that sadly - for those of us who remember him - he could very well fade into oblivion in much the same way his incredibly coincidental namesake did all those years ago.

Like seriously, his name was Daine Laurie and I'm pretty sure he came from Penrith too! He was a forward, but it's still pretty freaky.... 😳

it’s his cousin. From mclean

 

[tigerbenji]

Saw this on Facebook. Possibly just a troll with too much time on their hands, but stranger things have happened. Anyone know anything?

I was told on Sunday Moylan was coming to us, but I refuse to believe it.

 

[LeichhardtTiger]

None of these are retiring after years of distinguished Service. They are choosing other teams.

They don't deserve Farewells,

BREAKING NEWS Farewell Announcement

 

[Littlebittipsy]

Have a feeling the club is holding off on announcing Sullivan and Seizer officially until after the Dolphins game. Seems like they're heavily deflated with injuries and I think we're expected to get the win. Introducing those two signings after a win could create some momentum and good media narrative.

Side note: Blore and Twal as our prop rotation coming off the bench is impressing me more by the week. Really hope we keep Blore.

Do we definitely have Sullivan and Sezer? Or is there still stuff going on in the background?

Google 'hustle boxing Arthur Laundy' should give
you a clue what's happening. Investor in No Limit

Everything at the Bulldogs reeks. Gus is using every under-handed tactic he knows to try and cheat the system.
