JAC

[the_third]

Dogs offering 750 JAC, 500 burton, subsidising DWZ, and signed a couple others. No way in the world they have that sort of cap space at all

 

[cochise]

This is good news. We don’t have the cap space to take the chance on a converted fullback at 750k a year. Losing young players on peanuts like Talau who is a starter is a double blow as you can’t replace him for the same money.

If true I would be trying to get Nick Meaney hugely underrated player. Treated poorly at the Dogs he’s the best fullback at the club.

I. would like a current Kangaroo, SOO player and premiership winner. Keep your Meaney's and DWZ's at the Bulldogs.

Meaney can play and would be a better goal kicking option than anyone we have. Fox is a gun but he’s a winger if it’s huge money it’s a risk we can’t take and lose a young player. It’s all relative.

What, Joey Leilua is on what $500k? Paying JAC $750k is a bargain. He's three times the player Leilua will ever be.

How many wingers do the roosters, Storm pay 750k? Losing a player we want like Talau on $250k and having to pay 450k to replace him makes zero sense. This is the issue it’s not in isolation. You will then spend 1.1m on a centre and a winger taking a punt he’s a fullback.

It could work but it’s the type of wild punt we can’t afford. BJ, Reynolds, Packer contracts have no relevance to doing a deal for a new player.

I’d pay Fox the contract we proposed any day but it won’t happen that way. He will want big money whether he plays wing or fullback and the Storm want Nofa or Talau.

I've posted it way back, recruit JAC and Saab. Nofoaluma to Storm.

Apparently the Dragons want a swap for Saab, who are you giving them to get him? You will give all our players away.

You cannot keep a player who doesn't want to be at a club as we learnt with Matterson.

He has been trying to get a release for 4 months?

Having an unsettled player in the playing group is not good for either party.

How so? He's had a good year in attack, poor defensively. He's been on what $450k for how many. years? I don't believe he has been particularly good value for money. for WTs. I get it he is. a Campbelltown junior.

 

[hsvjones]

We will find out shortly if JAC really wants to come here... He can sign for 2022 as of tomorrow and if he is keen he will sign and leave the rest to his manager, Storm and Tigers to work out 2021... I don;t see it happening unfortunately

 

[tigerap]

How come other clubs want a player in return to close a deal, whereas we are happy to give Reynolds and Packer away without a swap yet no one bites...:-(

 

[OldMagpie]

Far out. The media is doing all it can to try to sway JAC to sign with the Dogs. How about an article about how pathetic the Dogs are from the Board down to the 2nd last placed football team? At least this information is current, rather than citing our recruitment issues pre Madge and Hartigan.

“ THE FOXX FAVOURING BULLDOGS OVER TIGERS RETURN
The Bulldogs are the favourite to land the signature of wantaway Storm winger Josh Addo-Carr for next season and beyond.
The NSW and Kangaroos winger is desperate to return to Sydney for family reasons and wants to play fullback and James Hooper believes the Belmore club has the upper hand in the hunt for his services.
“It is out of Canterbury and the Tigers, but I think he is leaning towards joining Trent Barrett at the Bulldogs,” Hooper said on Triple M’s Origin Rumble.
“I think that Trent is considering him and looking at playing him in the fullback role.
“The Tigers certainly thought they were holding all the aces, but as it has transpired over the course of the last six weeks I think it is more leaning towards Josh going to Belmore.”
Wendell Sailor pointed out it was a cruel twist of irony for the Tigers, who let Addo-Carr go to join the Storm in 2016 where he went on to become a representative star and premiership winner.
“Do you remember when Josh Addo-Carr was at the Tigers and talking to other clubs and I said to then coach Jason Taylor are you disappointed about losing Josh Addo-Carr?” Sailor recalled. “And he said, no not really.”
“The Tigers don’t get me started with their recruitment and retention policy over the course of the last 10 years,” Hooper fumed.
“From James Tedesco to Ryan Papenhuyzen to Josh Addo-Carr. Mitchell Moses is at Parramatta now. Aaron Woods should never have left.
“It has just been one bad decision after another and a big part of that has been the constant revolving door around coaches.

The club only has itself to blame for all the negative press.

You'd think every recruitment decision from this point onwards needs to be spot on. Otherwise, heads will roll and somebody will be held accountable.

If we miss JAC(looks likely now unfortunately) then they can't make the desperate move of signing the next best available. Stay on track with signing elite juniors and use the cap wisely for once.

On the dogs recruitment, yes they're buying a nice roster on paper, but paying overs for outside talent rarely works out. They've made this mistake several times already and don't seem to be learning from it. Their depth is still the worst in the comp...

The club needs to ignore the media and irrational fans and make calm strategic decisions. We should be very careful in relation to spending big money on players outside the club.

Nothing bad has happened yet though. JAC may sign here. He might not. Next season hasn't started.

100%. No point in repeating the mistakes of the past.

Any culture he’s not the reason we are losing. Look at the best teams they never let performing players leave if the dollars are reasonable you have to keep your players. If not the next time someone comes good they leave. Loyalty goes both ways. It won’t always work but letting Nofa leave would be stupid. He’s the heart and soul of the club atm.

If you want to go back to the past then cite how useless Barrett was as a coach overseeing a culture of infighting. How he makes a great assistant coach ala Jason Taylor, but will never see success as a head coach due to his incompetence as a man manager.

My point is, If we can’t lock up guys like him and Aloiai on team friendly deals, we’ve got no hope. You need your supposed loyal guys to just sign on and play good footy, not squeeze us for every drop.

I like Nofa and he had a good year but I’d be going to him and saying, here’s a new deal on the same money, with incentives if you play rep footy and finals. We need more from you in the big games. Sign it now or it’s off the table. We can’t be mucking around wasting our time with upgrades when nobody, including him, is earning one.

He’s early an upgrade no idea what he’s on but 450k 3 year extension I’d offer tomorrow. Probably less than he will get elsewhere but it should be the way for long term players.

Nofo had his best season in a long time but I wouldn’t be paying him that. I personally think our money could be better spent.

This is good news. We don’t have the cap space to take the chance on a converted fullback at 750k a year. Losing young players on peanuts like Talau who is a starter is a double blow as you can’t replace him for the same money.

If true I would be trying to get Nick Meaney hugely underrated player. Treated poorly at the Dogs he’s the best fullback at the club.

I. would like a current Kangaroo, SOO player and premiership winner. Keep your Meaney's and DWZ's at the Bulldogs.

Meaney can play and would be a better goal kicking option than anyone we have. Fox is a gun but he’s a winger if it’s huge money it’s a risk we can’t take and lose a young player. It’s all relative.

What, Joey Leilua is on what $500k? Paying JAC $750k is a bargain. He's three times the player Leilua will ever be.

How many wingers do the roosters, Storm pay 750k? Losing a player we want like Talau on $250k and having to pay 450k to replace him makes zero sense. This is the issue it’s not in isolation. You will then spend 1.1m on a centre and a winger taking a punt he’s a fullback.

It could work but it’s the type of wild punt we can’t afford. BJ, Reynolds, Packer contracts have no relevance to doing a deal for a new player.

I’d pay Fox the contract we proposed any day but it won’t happen that way. He will want big money whether he plays wing or fullback and the Storm want Nofa or Talau.

I've posted it way back, recruit JAC and Saab. Nofoaluma to Storm.

If you release Nofa it will kill the culture of the squad. Have to keep your own that perform strongly. We should learn from past mistakes.

The losing culture?

My point is, If we can’t lock up guys like him and Aloiai on team friendly deals, we’ve got no hope. You need your supposed loyal guys to just sign on and play good footy, not squeeze us for every drop.

Agree.

You won’t find better wingers at that price. Cotric cost 650k, Fox is 750k. Alex Johnstone signed at similar money. We have a lack of Quality outside backs it’s a problem. There’s a reason we are trying to get Fox, Mitchell last year etc.
