Canterbury Bulldogs table four-year deals to lure James Tedesco and Aaron Woods from Wests Tigers

[smoking_gun]

Problem the Bulldogs have is not one of their forwards is off contract. So that means they will have to let Reynolds Hopoate etc go to free up the space and personally I'd jump at signing Hopoate as a centre.

I'd take Tolman and Graham for Woods, thanks.

I'd like to see the NRL have a sign and trade allowance in contracts. But that's to complicated for them to get their heads around

As far as I'm concerned you can shove Hopoate where his old man used to put his finger.

Hopoate is as slow as a wet week. We're betting off chasing Graham and one of their good second row forwards.

Hopoate is a class back. Just being misused by des. Absolute gun centre.

Hopoate doesnt play on Sundays.

Jackson, thanks.

I agree what good is a player that won't play on Sunday's. His best bet is to go to the Broncos who play every Thursday and Friday :wink:

… And how many Sundays have we had so far?
No fare evaders on our bus thanx

 

[smoking_gun]

No club will allow that clause in his next deal. Relax.

I'm starting to think the tigers are only feigning interest in woods in order to convince tedesco to sign

 

[kh_canada]

Woods won't be missed I am hearing Matulino, Packer will be the replacements if he goes. The Tigers are also after Bodene Thompson, Shaun Johnson.

And if Woods departs for Canterbury, Tigers will most likely look to secure Graham.

Why do u think that? Graham is still contracted and is the captain of their team. He won't be the one who goes.

we cant let teddy go. it'd be the worst day for our club so far if we do tbh, we've all seen hundereds of young players and this guy to me has shown he's better than them all

He is broken down and back ended like Farah wouldn't touch him

Des loves James Graham - not a chance in hell he would let him go.

"The now seemingly likely defection of Woods to Canterbury will trigger a massive clean-out at Belmore, which is expected to impact the future of Bulldogs skipper James Graham, who will sit alongside the Tigers prop on NRL360 on Tuesday night.

Graham has attracted huge interest from Newcastle, however the Tigers, who are also chasing Ben Matulino and Russell Packer, are likely to pursue the Bulldogs captain if Woods decides to link up with his close friend David Klemmer at Canterbury and squeeze the Englishman out."

Can think of half a dozen players I'd rather get rid of from that team before graham. I'd be stunned if he was one.

 

[Muffstar]

One minute Canterbury are putting together a huge deal to lure Foran over, and the next minute they are supposedly tabling multi-million dollar offers for each of Tedesco and Woods.

Something doesn't fit. They can't fit all of these guys under the cap while still paying big money for so many other players.

Either way, we will know in the next fortnight what's going on with these two, and hopefully this never ending speculation can be shut down.

Yeah agree - Tedesco was a done deal at Saints two weeks ago, so who knows what is going on.

 

[jirskyr]

OK maybe he is leaning towards leaving, but also padding an article with stuff about body language and emotional response is pretty rubbish for a newspaper. Basically Dogs are tabling an offer, that we know is pretty solid info… but he wasn't excited enough by the win on the weekend? Did you see him jumping up and down in the team song? He hugged Marina Go? He had red eyes after a draining game of footy?

Bah none of this means yes or no, stop being like some Women's Day forum members.
