Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Why would the Tigers want to medically retire AD.

We got him on virtually nothing with no pressure to extend.

Roster spot are at a premium.

Madge will be salty for years to come.
He didn’t pick Steff for SOO knowing implications it would have on us

Steff didn't deserve to be in the frame for Origin.

He has no heart.

Anyone know how much Olam is on?

 

[Roar_Power]

Anyone know how much Olam is on?

I thought it was about $600k per season.

 

[user118245]

I thought it was about $600k per season.

Wish he was on a 2 year contract so we could chase staggs, that would complete our 1-7

1. Bula
2. Tito/Makasini
3. Staggs
4. Makasini/Tito
5. Skelton
6. Galvin
7. Luai

 

[Tiger_Yoshi]

How many spots do we have vacant? I’ve lost track lol. Need space now?

The only other bloke is Olam. More Likely to be BS headline.

1 free roster spot as of today

I'm not saying they should but isn't the virtually nothing thought now debunked? Most reports have him 325-350k

LOL, it is 433k per season, 1.3 mil over the 3 years. Happy to provide source.

There is no reason to assume the headline refers to a tigers player

When the average salary is 450k, 300k for Douiehi for 1 year isn't the end of the world and i'm sure it really isn't what the club is prioritising

We have 1 spot left if it is true that Bateman is gone. If not then we are at 30 for the moment.

Agreed but it is not practically nothing either.

If Bateman is gone then we are at 28, we are currently at 29.

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

you're right, my bad.

Edit: Found my issue, I was still counting Faagutu.. Do we have any confirmation he is gone? Or are we just basing it on the fact that he is on nothing club related.

I don’t know, for his spot maybe.
I couldn’t really give a fk to be honest.
I’m only here in 25 for the laughs.

Thanks for this, could you please send the article

 

[Tcat]

a lot of pro-Bulldogs related propaganda regarding Terrell that’s come out in the last 24 hours.

Weidler making note of the family’s affinity with Ciraldo while News Limited doing similar.

let’s hope Richardson gets under their guard as he’s done in the past.

We've beaten the dogs before when it's come to signings. It can be done again.

Terrell May is definitely a priority signing. If, for whatever reason, we cannot secure him, but are still moving Bateman on...I'm not sure who the next likely target is.

Sione Fainu I would imagine is a lock for one of the 2 spots (post Bateman).

Toby Rudolph perhaps?

Or does the club go in the completely opposite direction & add JAC instead?

May, however, adds that dimension to our pack we don't have.

Thinking if May & Sione sign we might be looking at:

1. Bula
2. Turuva
3. Doueihi
4. Olam
5. Skelton
6. Galvin
7. Luai
13. Bird
12. Seyfarth
11. Sam Fainu
10. Klemmer
9. Koroisau
8. Pole

14. Da Silva
15. Hunt
16. Sione Fainu

Then that last spot sort of has Twal, Latu Fainu, Johannssen, Porter, Sukkar, Matamua, Kit Lualili'i fighting for it.

Club REALLY needs guys like Matamua, Kit, Johannssen & Sukkar to step up their game. If we can have them working hard at pushing for bench spots, then we have solid depth. As it stands, Twal or Latu fight for that last bench spot.

If Matamua or Kit could just own #13, that can move Seyfarth to the bench & I'm happy with the squad.

EDIT- so I completely forgot to add May to my projection.... 😀 lol Welcome to my Sunday...

If you add May it makes a massive difference and you would think one of the guys mentioned at least, will step up to take a bench spot as soon as an inevitable injury strikes .
