Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[tigahhh]

News up on the Gold Coast is the Dogs want Tino aswell. We used to rib the Roosters about the sombrero, but if the Dogs sign Tino the N.R.L are surely taking the piss.

I’d be happy to give the mill we allocated for Galvin to Tino

keon just lives in the area & thinks he could develop there nicely if the dogs were interested

Funny how all these players like Galvin "feel" they can develop at teams, just as long as the teams doing well. I always thought the guys that developed while the team were in the cellar developed into better players, all these players flocking to the Dogs to develop will run as soon as the going gets tough. They miss the part where they develop loyalty and mental tenacity.

i know his dad, keons preferred new club isn’t us 😢

Keons manager has already been seen with or at the HQ's of the Eels and Dogs .. Manly and Dragons are also hoping to talk to his manager next. .. Here's hoping our recruiting staff atleast get a chance.

Dogs are also in the hunt for Tino .. do the Dogs have an open salary cap .. ?? they are alreay getting Leo Thompson from the Knights next season.

Not a good look for TDS and Parra.

Can’t blame him working with that piece of crap!

Bit of chatter about Tallyn Da Silva backing out of the Eeels contract, with a player swap with Souths for Lewis Dodd for 2026 onwards.

Bit of chatter about Elvis living up in the mountains
with Jimmy Hoffa too

The dogs will get rid of some nobody and justify the extra money in their till. Gus won't stop the dodgy shit until he wins. He is a slim bag and the NRL will do nothing about it.

I think some clubs like dogs want results now so they will spend big on nrl side and don’t really care about lower grades as much , Roosters style buy a comp ,

Would have not been someone that high up. It’s usually friend of a friend type stuff. Or in some cases, knowing a player agent.

Perhaps? But this info was presented in a formal way, with the intention of being constructive. There was also an air of reticence or withdrawal which coincided with the heat being cranked up on the coach.

Pretty sure souffs

I heard it St George and Dogs

yep realistically your football is going to develop the most under Wayne you’d think… but they are bottom of the ladder so no one is banging their door down.

ah interesting didn’t see that. dragons go for and miss out on a lot of players. Flanno hasn’t landed a big fish yet

What incentive would anyone who works for the club, with clout have to post anonymously on a forum, giving away so much sensitive information? I’m pretty there was a time where the club reached out to the mods cos whoever he was went too far with info he gave. Can’t remember the specifics, but it had something to do with Brooks. This was back around 2016.

damn wish i was on the forum back then. what a time that would’ve been lol

Tino won't leave Gold Coast for any less than $1m, and that money should only go to your 1, 6, 7, and maybe 9.

Pass.

If my memory serves me correct, Richo is on record saying you don't pay $1M+ for a middle. This was about the time last year when AFB was suggested and he said we wouldn't be going for him.

Will assume now that any potential depth centre/wing signing now will be below the experience & value of a Brent Naden & Charlie Staines.

Here is an excerpt from an email Naden's manager Allan Gainey has sent clubs (as reported in the DT) ...

Brent Naden (Wests Tigers). The ideal utility player who can competently cover centre, wing, fullback and five eight. A big body with excellent pace and a strong defender. Injury free following an early season setback and would be a worthy acquisition at good value. Likely to be forced out of the Tigers due to salary cap restraints but the Tigers CEO and Coach are more than happy to provide a glowing endorsement.

May mean Krystian Mapapalangi has a very good chance to nail it if he can finish the season strongly at right centre in NSW Cup.

 

[innsaneink]

Yeah he had a bit of banter. The meltdowns were quite funny too 🤣.

It's so funny to me. When we had rumours people would hound the guy who had the rumour. When we hear nothing they complain about that too.

I get the feeling humanity is never happy regardless of the situation 😕.

I liked the ones who would drop their info whether it was correct or not....and just leave it at that.

SG was an attention seeking a-hole who would carry on with a huge ego..bag others and loved blowing his own trumpet

Salary Cap restraints is not good to hear, i keep hearing we have war chest, maybe not hey..i just hope we have enough for Taylan May to get a contract

There was a Raiders fan who got a job at concord merchandise....he was a long time poster on LU and when he got the job at WTs he joined this forum.
Didnt have much info to speak of iirc ...occasional training injurys or similar...and he didnt try to hide his online status.
Hrundi99 or something.
Remember him?

 

[Terry T.Nuts]

He'd be good too but he's been a bit injury prone the past 3 seasons including an ACL & foot fracture.

Don't need backs.
