Pretty sure we got extra cap space exemption for merging or some such...
(The fact they all left as soon as the money dried up indicates as much)

He’s a latte sipper for life

Dunno about that, GNR. Saw him last year coming out of Kmart Lidcombe.
Kmart Lidcombe, the antithesis of latte sippin'
Carrying a home brand air fryer. Asked him what time he wanted me there for dinner, and got a laugh.

How good are air fryers

Be good if we could lure Suliasi Vunivalu back from rugby. Hasn't seemed to set the world on fire in that code so I just wonder if he could be tempted?!

I was lucky enough to meet the Wallabies players before they headed over to lose the World Cup. I asked Vunivalu what code he likes better, Union or League and his reply:

"Well, I win more games in NRL..."

Having brothers can be complicated in ways we can't see upfront. It hasn't worked out well for us in the past with the Leilua's. We've already got the fainu's.

I'd be giving the May's a miss. We don't want uncessary roster complications right now.

We have a few brothers at the club in 1st and junior systems.

Wonder how Dean Blore is going with his brother now gone.

I think he will want to give the new Rugby Union coaching regime a chance this year.
Maybe 2025 but can’t see him moving in 2024.

Good addition with GF experience

Leichhardt has latte culture too

If he does come back to the NRL I hope the Broncos do try sign him for 350k and the NRL forces the Dogs into honouring the rest of this initial contract, 400k, which they illegally forced him into breaking due to a fake retirement against his will.

That is the only justice.

Everyone could see the sham unfolding, the NRL can't ignore blatant corruption and cheating.

Ummmm they can, and they will!!’

 

[lathami]

Either way, whether they paid him or not (there's not a chance in hell he got no payment) it was a deliberate, club orchestrated move to cheat the cap. If a player retires and a contract magically gets torn up they should need to go the length of the original contract as retired before any come back is allowed.
Still, if he comes back to the NRL part of his salary should be under the Dogs cap, even if they did illegally pay him out. They did the wrong thing and should be fined the difference between his dogs contract and his new one

I agree but won’t happen!

May bros have that bad-boy edge to them but I believe we get that in the Fainus already. We have a lot of good young mids coming through and already a few midget wingers on our books. All of the May brothers have some pretty neat skills, yes including Tyrone (he has a really good passing game). But I feel we are pretty well equipped in their respective positions. Let the bulldogs overpay this time!

Can we fire someone today?

Flippers?

Big dog Richo hungers for blood. The Gods demand it.

 

[Pascoes_barber]

Doueieihi?

Dunno? Are they that good?
Will we need to take this to the food thread?
Rumour has it we signed Luai.

 

[Feline Carrier]

Doueieihi?

That's a good start.

Simpkin is another candidate. Surely the saints are in some desperate need of some more off cuts?

I think more espresso than latte !

 

[Buttface]

They need a “classy” half like Douhie and do they go scuba diving much bcoz we got a bloke with flippers for hands?

I watched an interview with Terrell May and he said he was at the Wests Tigers in 2020 as a train and trial player in the NRL squad and ended up not wanting to play footy as he was not in a good headspace and left.

He would be a good bench prop and his brother Taylan would be good for our backline. Pass on Tyrone

He joined us after getting the flick from the Panthers. Was doing well, but with Covid shutting down the season it would have been real hard for all those part time players. I'd have him back if he wanted another shot, but only at the right price.
