Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Vicious]

Fegler is on $900k … maybe he gets a medical clearance ?

I’d say it’s unlikely he gets back to hhs best even if he does return.
Herbie Farnworth also off contract at the end of 2026 will also be in high demand and I’d assume it will be the Perth Bears also leading the charge for his signature.
I’m expecting he will become a million dollar centre wherever he ends up.

 

[weststigers]

Tell me what forward the Dolphins are spending big money on come 2027 ?
They will have that money available to spend on someone like Tino and so will plenty of other clubs, Perth Bears will very likely be the highest bidder if he wants that move.
Just trying to get a bit of reality surrounding potential player signings, yes players such as Tino would be fantastic, but they don’t come to clubs such as ours cheaply.

He ain't going to any club cheaply.

Dolphins need to upgrade Katoa. Hamiso is on 1 million. They just signed Cobbo. Farnworth is on big money too. Flegler on 900k.

There is only enough room for so many guys up around a million.

Thanks for sharing that, so good for the club.

Yep the Isaac Moses agenda via Chammas & Weidler. Wasn't it Chammas who broke the Doeuihi training tackle story last week & mentioned Mary McGregor as an asst coach target in the offseason which Richo flatly denied on ABC yesterday. I know Chammas & Weidler say they no relationship with Moses and haven't for years but take anything from a journo with a grain a salt.

Chammas doesn't speak to him.

He admitted that he writes to make it seem like it's coming from Isaac at times, but has explicitly said they haven't spoken in 8 years or something like that.

Weidler is the exact opposite.

Isn't Chammas against Moses hence why he had Chammas removed when Mitch Moses came on 100% footy?

I don't think the training tackle story is good for Doeuihi or Benji so I can't imagine either camp would want to release that.

Yep, the Dolphins have plenty on decent coin.

Katoa's retention alone is somwthing that will (and should) cost them a lot of money.

Depends on new tv deal but 1.2 million over 5 years…
Maybe 1.3 even
Would be transformational for our team

I reckon that’s a bit high Charles. But I reckon it’s gunna take a mil for us and about 800 for others. We will also need a place along St George’s Crescent for him to live at during his stay.

Chammas gets info indirectly from people around IM and Wielder certainly does

Tony Sukkar had a very decent game against the roosters.

He is a hulk of a human, very mobile and young.

He will be very very good.

He goes about his work in a very unassuming way.

The type every squad needs. Solid role player

 

[Odessa]

Do we fit the description? Struggling club?

Organ donors would be the best description

If it read the organ donors of the NRL 100 percent US

 

[Canadian Club]

How many teams have a spare $1m + to spend on a forward?

I would suggest it’s likely out of us , Perth, or he stays at GC…

He could make any of the three moves and it wouldn’t really shock me …

Perhaps Perth is too far and he wants a change of scenery ?

We can only Tristan Hope …

Teams would find room. You don’t think a team like the Roosters or Dogs would move on a couple to accomodate Tino?

Roosters have done it plenty of times to bring in big names.

Yep Chammas and he don’t get along.

But have a lot of similar friend circles. So he most likely is getting some of the info from that camp. Just not directly.

The Dogs are moving on players to accomodate Galvin and Leo Thompson …I don’t seem him going there .

Do the Roosters want him ? Maybe …I guess they chased Fifita …wouldn’t say it’s a given

I'd say that too if he was a mainline to my Career
and I didn't wanna lose him....

Well up until 2 weeks ago the word was that DCE was going there for almost 1mil a season. It seems the Roosters have gone cold on that and now so they have the money.

I also can’t see Radley being there much longer. He spends too much time on the sideline and they have Steep, Foketi and Conor Watson (Robson at 9) all there to play 13 next season.

More than a quarter million posts in this thread and not one has legs

Should be called the "worms thread".

 

[jirskyr]

I thought he was solid but I have not seen anything to suggest 'very very' good

He's only played a handful of games but he looks like he belongs. It's a good platform.

I agree "very, very" might be a stretch, but in the mould of a Seyfarth who slowly improves and tries his ring out, I think Sukkar has more talent and a higher starting platform than Seyfarth has.

I rasied both of these guys as ones to watch in the pre season. I trust that we are in there fighting for this talent.

There's a quote from Benny the imbecile on the Tigers' facebook page taken from his appearance on Matty Johns' show that Hope's service from dummy half was the "best he's ever seen".
Literally one minute later Benny again........"Billy Walters is the best hooker I've ever seen!"
