Didn’t Shaun Mielekamp more or less say it simply comes down to dollar value ?
I took it as Bula is asking for one figure, we are currently offering him a slightly lesser figure and Benji has been upfront and honest by saying let’s give it a few months into this season to then determine if we...
You could not seriously consider paying that much for a 33y.o turning 34y.o who has not played fullback in many years.
I very much doubt anyone will offer him above 400k
If we do lose Bula and not sign an adequate replacement, I would say RTS would then become a handy player to have while we search for our long term fullback whether that be internal or external.
Providing we are not paying him more than 400k and Turuva to fullback and RTS on the wing could even...
I agree that if we want to keep Makasini long term, we need a regular spot for him him at left centre and have to hope Taylan May is as effective and happy to play at right centre.
That being the case Skelton should be a high priority re-signing and it is only fullback that we need to sort out...
There is something tn the story more than what is being reported in the media.
Xerri was one of the Bulldogs best players last season, he plays reasonably well in a winning team in round 1 to then be dropped for their next game ?
To me that indicates a fallout with a senior player such as...
Someone on this forum posted that Xerri grabbed Crichton by the throat at training.
Without knowing the truth, that sounds like a more likely reason he is in this position as the Bulldogs are always going to back their golden boy.
If this did happen, sure it’s out of order, but Crichton does...
Some of our supporters and some in the media keep saying we are not interested in Bronson Xerri as we have plenty of centres including Starford To’a.
Injuries aside, who in their right mind would choose To’a over Xerri ?
IF Xerri is stipulating he only wants to play left centre, I could then...
You would assume Benji is being up front and honest and as part of Doueihi’s extension would be a plan for him to transition to 13 or 14 by the start of 2028 at the latest to allow Latu to play 7.
Is there any particular reason why this totally unrelated topic is continually being posted on a Wests Tigers Signings, Suggestions and Rumours discussion ?
Someone on this forum initially suggested a training game blow up between Xerri and Stephen Crichton.
I haven’t seen that mentioned anywhere else, so no idea if it’s true or not, but there was a very strange look on Crichton’s face when media have asked him about the Xerri situation,
It might be...
No I suggest if we had the opportunity to sign a top quality centre such as Xerri, that we cut our losses on To’a and tell him he is free to leave.
Even if he is getting paid 450k and nobody else would pay anymore than 300k for him, that’s only contributing 150k of his remaining contract to...
