Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

They probably want to do it in one hit and still working out whether they have spaces for Sukkar, Mason, Bunty and on the periphery the likes of Vaka Aho.

Yeah, though Doueihi moving on as part of it would be a bonus.

Wonder how many missed calls Politis has from the Doueihi camp.

Well it's Isaac Moses so I don't think many since Politis refuses to deal with him lol maybe missed calls from AD directly!

It’s rumoured the Salary Cap increase in 28 will be significant. Minimum 15 million but there’s been figures thrown around like 18-20 mil. This would make 1.5mil contracts sound a little less insane tbh …

But I agree, I don’t think Walker has the temperament that you could build a club around. The roosters have had a stacked roster for years and it wasn’t until DCE come along that they finally went to the next level

More tellingly to that point is the fact that they are so easy to let him walk . All this bullshit “roosters way” nonsense . If he was worth it , uncle nick would pay it . He got teddy for 1 mil when the cap was less than 10 mil . Who knows what apartments and jobs for life for family members Teddy was promised .

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

No he is a trap, he is the most injury prone player in the comp, makes turbo look healthy

and latu he is just as bad with injuries

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

wonder if cowboys and roosters are interested in looking at a swap for 2027 if politics is unhappy
Deardan to Roosters
Walker to Cowboys

if the price and player is right thst is bs, uncle nic would use a go between like he did with minichello and tedesco

 

[davey_farrell]

It’s weird they haven’t announced the departures though, seem to be the only club that provides no information

I asked BWG the same question, he thought that they may be working out who is staying etc and getting contracts done then will announce departures, seems feasible, though its strange you think this would be done by now, only the tigers hey

 

[Flippedy]

I’d be surprised if the Broncos don’t make a play for Walker.

I’m almost certain that’s where he’ll end up.

Gosh he cops it on here but I reckon there is a player in Mason. We seem to forget just how young some of these players are.

Where is the player though. He can't tackle, pass or kick

 

[Camel2281]

Sukkar over Mason.
AND bring back Conti!

Conti back in instead of Mason would be a great upgrade

 

[Camel2281]

Biggest drawback for mason is not able to lock down a position

Or tackle

 

[Oldman]

Is it official,
Have we signed James Schiller for 2027 ?

 

[tig_prmz]

Then why bring him through the Pathways? If what you write is true, it is a reflection on our poor identification of talent with the system. Personally, I believe he did well under difficult circumstances.

here are thousands of kids that come through Pathways but don't play over 50 NRL games.

It's not about talent identification, but more about lack of ability to get the best out of that talent.

Skelton confirmed to Bulldogs on a 1-year deal.

I hate this. I really liked the progress of Skelton.

I think Junior Tupou (although he came in mid-season) is our Skelton moving forward with Turuva on the other wing. Then it's up to Big Mak to displace Tupou. Hopefully we are still in for another depth outside back that brings speed, some experience & x-factor at a low cost (Schiller).

Gonna miss seeing him trying to break people in half 🙁

Large left because of the push within the club for Galvin from what i heard no

Need speed..not another surrogate backrower playing on the wing.Weve got plenty

Now we have to watch him potentially break us in half... for one of our arch rivals!
