JAC

[earl]

Don’t panic guys

I can guarantee you that I'm not panicking. I'll be completely fine waiting until the end of next season prior to getting worked up about these signings.

 

[shifty]

Relax guys, he’s buying Souths time to give him a better offer. He hasn’t committed to 2022 onwards even though he can. Move onto the next target.

I have no inside info, just observation. Would love to be wrong.

 

[Harvey]

If he does go to Dogs I would be curious as to why. We can seemingly offer him just as good money, maybe a little worse, but what’s swaying his decision? His past experiences at the club? Not a fan of Madge? Thinks our club is crap? We need to figure out why someone like him wouldn’t want to be here and fix it. The obvious answer is our results but problem is we can’t get results unless we sign better players ?

Money pure and simple.

Or

Bulldogs are selling him a bright future with the money they are prepared to spend to achieve premiership success. Their new sponsor is splashing cash.

We can sell the pics of a centre of excellence and juniors coming through. No instant success.will take time.

The word is Dogs have offered us DWZ heavily subsidised. Tigers won’t bite until Fox makes a call. Madge believes he can get back to a rep level fullback. It’s the smart play although he was bad last year.

Taking big money recruits from the dogs has worked out well in the past. Maybe 3rd times a charm

Fox reporting JAC might stay at storm.for 1 more year, as no swap is available.

Which may assist us for a 2022 signing

o we really can’t afford to let the opportunity slide by.

"We really can’t afford to let the opportunity slide by".

At this point, dragging on for so long - I think we can.

He's not a Teddy, Keary or Munster.

He is just a fast winger.

Not like there’s any other targets worth throwing money at for 2021 may as well persist with JAC. If someone else becomes available we can go
For them if josh has not signed yet.

Could end up being a blessing in disguise, grab someone decent for next season and get JAC in 2022

 

[JC99]

‘The club is expected to soon turn its attention onto Josh Addo-Carr, who wants to move to Sydney next season for family reasons. 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

How do you know we refused? How do you know if Nofo or Talau even want to go to COVID city?

They might not want to, but all signs are pointing towards the fact we either have refused to give them anyone or have no one we are willing to trade that Melbourne even want. Or as you said our guys aren’t keen to move there

You would think that bulldogs would be trying to sign burton for 2022 and keeping room in there cap for 2021 if released early,possibly having a shot at Brandon Smith or another hooker that becomes available..so again cap room needed,even if DWZ and Smith are moved on and they get some relief you would think JAC is not a priority to them,maybe they are just trying to boost his asking price to make Tigers or Souths pay more,Souths backs signed for next year are Mitchell,Gagai,Burns,Campbell-Graham,Deniss,Allan,Johnstone,Milne,Moga,Paulo,Marsters,If they move on Roberts and Allan and sign JAC,backs to forwards ratio is way off for a squad of 30,maybe Tigers are still favourites


Yes this is certainly the most logical way of looking at the JAC signing. Looking at those teams rosters and where they need strengthening, the Bulldogs really need to concentrate on buying decent halves and a hooker. They’d be mad to throw all their money at JAC and have nothing left to sign players in those key positions. If they go into next season with the same halves and hooker then having JAC in the backline won’t make a squat of difference and can kiss all their hopes goodbye. Surely Barrett, as a former half, can see this.

JAC is not what they need, they’ve already bought another SOO winger in Cotric and I think Meaney does a pretty good job for them at fullback. Not to mention if DWZ got back to his best he would be great! I don’t know what has happened to him actually, he started out great when he first signed with them, perhaps he is just not happy there.

Souths simply do not need another back, they are already stacked with quality backs and if JAC went there he would be competing with his mate Mitchell for the fullback spot, which is just ridiculous really since they only just courted Mitchell to play in that spot last year! Before his injury he certainly showed signs that he would become a very good fullback, imo and if he is injured long term fullback can be well and truly covered by either Allen or Johnston.

The Tigers are really the only team of those 3 that need JAC and can hand him the fullback role for him to make his own, no questions asked. I believe we are probably the ones with the best offer on the table also. So, logically JAC to us is a no brainer really, but logic doesn’t account for a person’s heart or emotions and if JAC ‘s heart isn’t in playing for us, then logic goes out the window and he signs elsewhere. What can ya do?

There is also the possibility I guess of another Sydney club coming out of left field and snaring his signature under the noses of all us, who knows?


Has anyone heard of any other club which has tabled an offer to JAC? Does anyone find that odd? I mean, given the quality of player he is?
From memory WT were the only club to table an offer to Mitchell. I’m not drawing any conclusion here, just eluding to a pattern of similarity.

That's the reason I think we got him. We are the ONLY club whe have officially tabled him an offer. The Dogs with JAC are all rumours. Sooooo . . . .

More than rumours, Barrett has said they’ve talked to JAC

You forgot the part where he reportedly said “it’s complicated”.
Welcome to our world bulldogs.

Assist us, I doubt it, all that tells me is souths can't get their cap sorted for next year to fit him in, so he needs to wait a year before joining them, origin camp hasn't helped us, Freddy hates us

Welcome to our world bulldogs.

Melbourne making everyone’s life hard at the moment can’t blame them though

JAC is being a good fella and not kicking up a stink. It’s honourable and I respect him for it but it also gives Melbourne all the power regarding a release

 

[Blocker1963]

[Danny Weidler] Josh Addo Carr has told his manager Mario Tartak that he in open to staying with the Storm for another season. He does have a heads of agreement with Tigers. Preference is to come home but staying put an option again.

I was thinking something similar to the latest JAC Rumours
If indeed he has suggested he may stay in Melbourne for one more year
Is this a ploy to have the tigers spend their money on another player
Say a fullback
Say a Corey Allan from Souths
Freeing up money for souths to sign Addo-Carr
Is Corey Allan now on Storms Radar
One thing is for sure IMO
IF Addo-Carr has not committed to the Tigers for at least 2022, Then its time to seriously look at spending our cap on another player for 2021

As for 2022, offer BJ's money to Kotoni Staggs

Well looks like the Info is spot on that there is a 4 year deal on the table but the WT won't release a player that the storm require. Storm playing hard ball but that does not surprise anyone suppose that's why there an elite club.

I have no issue with the WT playing hard ball back...

Only Nofo or Talua an option and really if both players don't want to leave that's there choice, rather have players that are here already and want to stay.

Give them Bradley or Cini. We could then have a repeat of the Papenhuyzen thread in a couple of years.

Well my view is that Madge has said firm NO to Melbourne cherry picks from our ranks. I also think that Madge being a straight shooter has outlined his plan for the player advising that there are no guarantees for fullback gig.
So if Melbourne don’t get like for like (and there’s unlikely a player out there that fits that bil) and JAC is willing to spend another year down South ..... then 2022 season is on drawing board for him ...... and then he could end up anywhere.
If that’s the case we should cut our losses and look to more solid recruitment options.
Paying high $s for “ I don’t care how good he is” winger is just stupid.

[Newtown]

I think everyone, bar the media, is getting so sick of JAC's reported coming and goings. If JAC is so supposedly genuine about coming to Sydney to be with, and help his kids as is a father's responsibilty, then why would he say that although he loves his kids but would be willing to help Bellamy by playing for Melbourne throughout 2021. Where does his heart really lie? With his kids or in pleasing Bellamy by helping him out for another year?

How is JAC being a good fella? Good to who? By being indecisive, or at least by not saying yes or no to us, he certainly isn't helping us, as whilst we wait, other targets could be missed.

He could be stringing us along. He could have been stringing us along the whole time. We don't know that he has, but we don't know that he hasn't been.

If he’s not coming for 2021 there is zero chance he’s coming for 2022. There will be a number of other clubs in a position to offer him for 2022, including South’s (if they’re not already).
