Wests Tigers have a four-year deal on the table, but he won't be released unless a suitable replacement is secured. Given the Tigers don't have a player they are willing to offer in return, Canterbury and South Sydney could be options for Addo-Carr, particularly given Reimus Smith is a player the Bulldogs want to trade.‘
Our refusal to trade anyone might just cost us his signature. Not sure we’re in the position to play hardball
Sorry, we are willing to give him a top level contract, why would we give up a player we won't to keep as well? That puts his price too high for me.
Because we need top talent.... whoever we will be giving them wouldn’t even be close to JAC’s level. If it’s the only way to get him then we have to at least entertain the idea. We are not in a position to let top level talent walk on by yet again.
Not if they don't want to be here anyway.
Sounds like he does, it’s Melbourne blocking his way here.
He has a desire to play at Souths
Weidler saying he’s agreed to join us and waiting on a release. I’m sure he would like to play at Souths too but he’s happy to be here.
I never trust Weidler's info.
I'm not saying he won't be here, but we are not his 1st choice, you do not give up a player if you are someone's 2nd or 3rd choice.
Weidler is a germ but his info is normally solid
If we were his last choice but we could still get him I’d do it. He’s that good and you know he’ll give his all on the field
When people have other preferences that will at times use you as a stepping stone to get to where they want to be. The absolute worse case scenario for us is we give up a player and then in 12 months a position becomes available at JAC's first choice club and he starts agitating for a release. That is the risk you take when you take people when you are not their 1st choice.
You have that risk signing anyone though especially at our club. You have to make sure they’re welcome at the club and love it here, look how much Harry loved his time here. Not every player is out to use as as a stepping stone and do us dirty by screwing us
When you know you're not the 1st choice it is not worth the risk of giving up a player. We are not JAC's 1st choice.
Well If we’re only going to sign players who want to play here as their first Choice we’re going to be running out with like 3 players next year.
So yeah lets give up a player who wants to be here for one that doesn't, that seems smart.
