JAC

[jrtiger]

Averillo's a decent prospect and DWZ if he can get his act together will do fine on a wing. they're still missing a 1 and 9 that can be game changers, but if they can find them they'll be a force within a couple of years.

Someone closed the JAC thread. But he has signed with the Dogs for $500K a season?
https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/addo-carr-signs-four-year-2-million-contract-with-bulldogs-20201216-p56o25.html

I mean Cmon. he had a deal with us for $600K! Why would you sign for less. Barrett must be really good at convincing people because I see the Dogs at Spooners next year.

I think it came out that it was closer to 3 million over 4 seasons... I could be wrong, but that would make more sense

$3m over 4yrs? I find that hard to believe.
There seems to be a lot of cow dung being tossed around in the media.

 

[JC99]

$500k for the Fox is a bargain. Best winger in the world

 

[sleeve]

Something about the numbers doesn't sit well with me.

The premier winger in the game locks himself in for 4 years.

Yes , 26 before he starts, and 30 in his last year,they want to pray he keeps his speed.

Drinking posts moved..

Like we can move on from Addo-Carr..good luck at the family Club

Now I get it!
His family has moved from Redfern to Belmore, so his move to Sydney was for family reasons, and I thought it was just because he was a dog.

 

[hank37w]

Yeah, much ***ado*** about nothing here.

You forgot to mention the ***Carr***, possibly the corolla that we were going to give to Nofa.

Just one on the Dogs .. how the hell are affording the players they are signing .. ?? Nick Cotric, Kyle Flanagan, Jack Hetherington, Corey Waddell, Josh Addo-Carr, Malakai Watene-Zeleniak and they are still after Stephen Crichton and Spencer Leniu .. !!

Plus they just upgraded contracts to Adam Elliott, Josh Jackson, Dylan Napa, Lachlan Lewis, Will Hopoate, Raymond Faitala-Mariner and Nick Meaney.

Thinking the same.
Also with the little information available on WT position a few things just don’t have enough legs to stand up.?

But can you believe they are paying Nick Cotric 650K a year, and the Fox only 550K a year .. !!

So where is the salary cap auditor when you need him?

 

[The-moP]

Are we the only club in the competition who are doing the right thing when it comes to payment of players and the salary cap .. ??

No, 2 million over 4 years is 500k per year - 650k to Cotric, now I don't think much of Addo-Carr's brain power but he is not totally stupid. Maybe the Dogs think everyone else is.

Third party has kicked the tin big time, or the brown paper bags are out - why is this not cause for the NRL to check the books.
The Dogs have done it before.

Whilst they are at it they should be opening the books at Souffs with Latrine taking 600k over our one mill and a number of other dubious deals.

C'mon Mr Vlandys, if we can smell it - I'm sure you can. Let's get serious if you want to clean it up.

This is not adding up is it? Dogs sign a winger to play centre on $650k. Then sign another winger, arguably a much better winger, to possibly play FB on $500k? A winger who was offered a shot at FB at $675k?

It wasn't in the media - a poster on here said he knew someone in the know at the dogs who said the figure was being understated in the media and the deal was closer to 3mil over 4 years.

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

There's no way in hell JAC is on $500k at the dogs, not when he had a contract here worth more. If i were to guess i would presume it was North of $600k.

 

[voice_of_reason]

Cotric on $650k is the very definition of paying overs. I don't feel he offers anything special over Nofo and - even as a Nofo fan - I would think paying him that money is insane.

My view is the club is trying to follow a similar model to Melbourne. Don't offer overs and explain to players what we're trying to build. Make them feel they're part of the plan and by taking slightly less it bolsters our ability for success on the field.

If players don't want to buy in they can move on. The ones that stay will be here for the right reason.

Well.. to be fair:

Kyle Flanagan was snapped up cheap, roughly 300-350K
Jack Hetherington 400-450? Was on development or starting cash at the Panthers
Corey Waddell was on the outer at Manly
Nic Cotric was 600K to play centre from my understanding?
Josh Jackson would be on the 10 year service pay 150K plus whatever else
Nick Meany wouldn't be on much.

People on the outer at the Bulldogs would be Lachlan Lewis and Will Hoppa IMO, wouldn't surprise me these two leave.

 

[JC99]

Bulldogs had plenty of cash. They won’t have much more left for 2021 though presumably. They had a lot of average guys on big money and were paying guys to play at other clubs.

 

[hobbo1]

All players salary’s should be made public as well as TPA’s

Then when the 9 Million dollar Tigers get pumped by the 12 Million dollar Roosters it’ll be justified.

It's usually more like the $7.5m Tigers

I’d take Lachlan Lewis to run around for the magpies , at the bottom of the half depth chart . At the very least if he had to come in , he wouldn’t lose us a match . But still , no more than a few games , to fill in . This is the type of guy , we should be looking at in regards to fillling a half void . Not guys like Widdop who we’d feel obliged to play , because of what they did 5 years ago.
