Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Weidler (Gould's mouthpiece) reporting the Dogs won't make an offer for AFB. not entirely sure what is doing there.

Klem or Stef to bulldogs maybe on a load cheaper deal?

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Interesting if true. My source said Luai met with Dolphins on the weekend up in Brisbane. Must have done both in two days

They wouldn’t have the cash to get both like us.
Strange choice for them if true.

He doesn't want to leave Sydney. I don't think the Dolphins would be an option. Unless his management want to use them to bump his price up?
Dogs are definitely keen. Gould is a shifty bastard

 

[weststigers]

Bloody hell. Now that is embarrassing. I owe GNR an apology. Sorry GNR, you were right and I was wwwwrrrrrooooooonnnnnngggggg.
Unless I could convince GNR I thought he was talking about Cody Beau Walker all along.
I think I'll slink off now.

You were right in that Cody Beau Walker was definitely 27 when Cody Walker debuted for South's. Nothing to see here 😏

So, who are these people in the know? I think Benji may know better.

Benji may think the same

Hey buddy … if they are going to buy a lottery ticket … I’m not gunna get excited about it..,

List for me the “any numbers of players” who have moved to the NRL with no RL background at 28 and have been successful…

I don't believe it applies to a winger.

 

[Tom Shines]

I don't believe it applies to a winger.

Let’s wait and see… workload for wingers is way higher in NRL versus Super Rugby …and I believe he hasn’t even played at that level recently,,,

I've said it before but Bulldogs need AFB more than Luai and we need Luai more than AFB. Be weird if both clubs get the opposite one they need more

Opportunity to play under Wayne Bennett would be interesting. But in saying that Dolphins would have to offer 1.5 million in order for Luai to go up to QLD

So it won’t happen then

Isn’t Wayne leaving at the end of this season with Woolf taking over in 2025?

That means Luai wouldn’t get the opportunity to play under Wayne even if he signed with them.

 

[rugbygoated]

Very unlikely. All I know is that Luai met with Dolphins Recruitment Officer Peter O'Sullivan (Sean O'Sullivan's dad) and no official offer was made. Worth mentioning I think

 

[Telltails]

Gould - typical egomaniac mind games. He is likely to pull it off though - with the Ciraldo/Penrith connection, and Laundy the icing on the cake.

Agree. Had to check it wasn’t April 1.

 

[teddy23]

They need AFB more than we do. I'd much rather sign Terrell May from Roosters who is young and guaranteed to be an absolute beast

If you get Terrell you’ll most likely get Taylan too. I’d sign them both in an instant.

Either wouldn’t break the bank as well.

 

[jrtiger]

He has shifted to Luai. I heard Luai met with Laundry for dinner on the weekend. Usual Bullshit of selling the Bullgrubs as a fantastic destination.

I had heard Luai's initial meeting with the Dogs was hopeless and that neither party were left enthused by what transpired. Laundy is typically Gus' way of getting players back to the negotiating table.

 

[Tcat]

This thread has gotten so toxic. If you want to feel sad, this is the thread to come to.

Anyway, I wasn't expecting player 30 to be a million dollar player. He's a risk but it's in a position of need and it's only a 1 year contract from what I can tell so the risk is minimal. Let's see how he goes.

Straight up dick measuring contest on who appears the smartest or who can prove someone wrong, same with the Nofa thread too. I hope the signing of Luai is announced soon.

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

Must really be getting all offers on the table asap to make a decision and then go into the 10-day period. So possibly at the earliest there is an announcement first working day after Christmas!

 

[Todd Packer]

I just watched the Parra preseason video on YouTube called Parradise.
So much cringe, so many cliches in one video, it was hard to watch.
I'm prepared to write them off just on the crap that Brad Arthur and pretty boy Barrett spoke.

 

[KingRobbie]

@KingRobbie thoughts on him making it in the NRL?

Not sure to be honest.

Most judges have Feledy ahead of him.

He is signed to a Top 30 deal for 2025-26 though, so club must rate him.

Big, powerful kid.
