Club Statement - Tedesco and Woods

[jirskyr]

Bulldogs will look to offload Hoppa, Mbye, Eastwood, Kasiano & Graham. Problem is I would only look at Graham, Kasiano (if price is ok) Hoppa (center, price and void Sunday).

I was of the understanding that the NRL would not register contracts until you proved salary cap compliance for the season in question.

In other words you can't sign $2M of new cap space and then spend 9 months trying to move on $2M of old contracted talent.

Tigers still have Ryan Papaz…?

Or he sign with Melb?

Melbourne

He's not FG material anyway.

Yep, don't think he will make it tbh

Either way if Teddy is gone, it's a sad day for the club

Thats 100% spot on. It doesn't however prevent players agreeing to terms or clubs from shopping players around.

The Bulldogs have larger issues than the Roosters if they have Woods and Foran on their books especially with the increase in squad numbers and min salary.

 

[Yossarian]

Woods and Graham alone would be close if not over $2m so that leaves at most $6.5m for the other 28 players. Foran, Tolman, Klemmer and Jackson would all be in the $600-800 bracket. So you're getting near $5m without looking at Kasiano, Eastwood, the Morris brothers. They're going to have a lot of guys on minimum wages snd/or TPAs up the wazoo.

 

[Eddie]

Let them chase the money. The elephant in the room is how the tigers treated Farah after his loyal service and that his sacking must have had an effect on the young 4 to not be loyal to the Tigers. Lets start it all again with some players that have a bit of fighting competitive spirit not these Ego gliders,

Shhh you can't say that!!

It was all Robbies fault remember.

:laughing:

 

[jirskyr]

If Woods or Tedesco are staying they don't need a COP, the offers have been more or less on the table for months. What more time to think do you need?

I think time only to leverage another club that bit longer and see who comes out top.

Pretty sure Eastwood is on $650 signed last year - they have got some major culling to do

We could do worse than raid a club in this position. Get a few who want to come over together and prove something, bringing some toughness/attitude and ability, and being subsidised. We could do worse.

We should looks at Jackson and the Morris brothers.

 

[Swordy]

It is an interesting one isn't it. I mean if they are leaving then the club announces that tommorrow.

However if they are staying then in fact they can't announce that tommorrow without waiving the cooling off period which if they don't then the players give themselves 10 more days effectively to make a decision and the ultimatum is buggered for at least 2 more weeks and we have 2 more weeks of all of this.

So what do they do tommorrow if both are staying - just say nothing ?

I guess no news is good news.

For the first time since this saga began this forum may actually be hoping for no updates on tedesco

Makes no sense. If it was a given they were leaving, why not announce that they have withdrawed the contract offers today?

Exactly right.

And if it turns out they do leave and they inform WT today at 5pm, I thinkits fair the club announce the contract offers have been pulled. That would mean they are going elsewhere and its telling everyone so without telling them directly, same as they did with Moses.

Either way, Im not worried. What will be will be and we will still have $$$ to attract some quality players indeed

 

[ILTIGRE]

I just hope we dont end up like Newcastle, plenty of money that no one want to take

We can look at who we like Paws - doesn't mean a thing.

In the end you can only look at who they are going to release and how much they are willing to pay for them to play for us.

Thats 100% spot on. It doesn't however prevent players agreeing to terms or clubs from shopping players around.

The Bulldogs have larger issues than the Roosters if they have Woods and Foran on their books especially with the increase in squad numbers and min salary.

So what happens if there are players at the Bulldogs who get tapped on the shoulder and told they are being moved on decide they don't want to move? Does that mean that any contract that the Bulldogs might have with Aaron Woods is null and void because they wouldn't be salary cap compliant?

They need to find a way to be cap compliant before the start of next season.

 

[Gary_Bakerloo]

I think this is the most appropriate thread, but there are some interesting snippets in this article:

http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/league-news/warriors-boss-jim-doyle-rubbishes-reports-kieran-foran-is-off-to-bulldogs-after-2017-20170421-gvpdmb.html

Namely:

_"Doyle also commented on the future of Foran's halves partner Johnson, who is also yet to sign for the club beyond this season. Johnson has been weighing up his options and Doyle said they were "pretty close" to finalising a deal."_

and this nugget:

_"The NRL finally gave the clubs a figure last night (Thursday), which Doyle said had offered some clarity as they tried to secure the services of current players and entice new players to the club."_

This information against the backdrop of the club setting the deadline for this afternoon….interesting.

prob why "he" asked for a long COP and why "we" imposed a deadline, Ivan doesnt seem interested in pandering like the board and Mr Pascoe are.

 

[Magpie_Magic]

Canterbury is a club not much better than us and the only one I would like is Jackson.

Reckon we should go after Easts guys like Napa and Cordner even Pierce whether contracted or not offer big carrots to guys who would improve us and at the very least force an audit and unrest at their club.

We have much spare cash and can attract quality once we either keep or dispatch these two that's why a deadline is good.

 

[innsaneink]

,,,,been busy all arvo.
Whats happened, with the deadline…I see nothing official on WTs, Dogs or Roosters sites?
Theres been a million posts here since I last was on.
Any news?

 

[Nelson]

No but as I posted in one of the million other threads the press release says that the playing group will be informed first, which is unlikely to happen this afternoon. The press release also doesn't indicate that the deadline was COB, just that it was today.
