It's not a done deal until it's done. The jounos are happy to post stories like this because if we miss out, then its the Tigers have stuffed up another deal. Sells more papers. Theyre becoming more and more inclined to jump early. Journalistic standards aren't there any more.

It’s not a conspiracy against us. They’re just reporting what they are hearing.

ARRRGH!

This is why I was screaming at us for hiring 3 halves that "might" be first graders.
Sullivan/Fainu/Sezer. + AD on the books.

So we have 4 maybe's. Sure for very different reasons: from Dragons, "next big thing", "Last decades big* thing", Cambo Hospital patient.

Now, it's just a mess. Were blocking guys we have just hired let alone development players like Galvin.

*kinda last decades decent 5/8. Although Sezer did play some games at Halfback.

Yeah but at the time of signing those guys, we were no guarantee of getting anyone better in ‘25 i.e Luai & Doeuihi has a big ? hanging over him.

In ‘25 we will likely not have AD & Sezer. And we can always release one of the young guys pretty easily to another club to pick up their contracts i.e if Sullivan doesn’t progress, and/or adjust Fainu & Galvin to other positions.

A lot of water to go under the bridge to worry about any of the above.

He says that. Doesn’t mean he hasn’t. He’s not in a position to announce it himself.

Even if he is 100% adamant today that he is coming to the Tigers … it doesn’t mean he can’t change his mind tomorrow …it’s happened a few times before with other players

This is Brent reads quote from twitter from 1 hour ago (not sure if it’s been posted)

‘Re: Tigers and Luai. Yes, they are now strong favourites to get him but nothing has been signed and Bulldogs have been told they are still in with a hope.’

I hate this stuff. If Bulldogs have been told that to me says if they can work the cap he will be Bulldogs bound if they can’t then we are next inline.

Luai should take his time and get maximum value but as a supporter this sucks lol
 
Gus would hate losing Luai to us if he really wants him, and I expect more to play out Am kicking myself for not reading between the lines of Chammas and his headline.
Back to waiting for the official statement from wherever that maybe.

I’m as big of a fan of Richo fan as anyone, but we can’t pretend he came in and waved a magic wand and got us Luai. Negotiations would have been way down the line once he got here. At least 90% of the job would have been done. He was the one who just signed off on it, and it’s probably the reason he pulled the pin on AFB. Because we had Luai in the bag.

Couldn't care less who did the legwork. Just glad we finally closed a deal with the bloke (assuming the stupid 10 day period of reflection doesn't result in the deal going off the rails).
