Telegraph reporting Sharkies are shopping Josh Duggan has 2 years to run on 750k contract probably freeing space to upgrade XERRI.
Would he be a good pick up with Sharkies paying part of the contract if we miss AD

Not at any price.
 
Actually think Dugan has been good for the Sharks. Is a player who',s reputation - self inflicted - seems to make people dismiss his performances. Biggest problem is he is injury prone and not getting any younger.

I doubt very much that Madge would be looking at Braith Anasta type signings. He wants a premiership.

Still wondering who BJ is ...


Joseph Leilua Canberra Centre.

Ahh that BJ

As in Joey

Didn't think you could call him BJ anymore

Happy Tiger I think you need to stop seeing Herb Gardener
He is starting to affect your memory

Let's cut out the middle man and go straight for Xerri.

Isn't Widdop going to England?

The article is over 2 years old...hence forever linked to Dugan..
 
The NRL are like a Bikie club. They need to open a chapter in East Sydney, South Sydney Brissy & Melb. From the Tele this morning:

"James Packer joined Russell Crowe and Wayne Bennett to help Souths land Latrell Mitchell. Aaron Francis/The Australian
James Packer joined Russell Crowe and Wayne Bennett to help Souths land Latrell Mitchell.

The movie star, the master-coach and the money man — how could Latrell Mitchell say no?

The Sunday Telegraph can reveal James Packer joined Russell Crowe and Wayne Bennett to form arguably the greatest, and certainly the most extraordinary, rugby league recruitment team ever assembled.

Packing two Golden Globes, an Academy Award, seven NRL premierships and more than $3.5 billion, Packer, Bennett and Crowe combined to deliver the Rabbitohs a future South Sydney great.

Just a day after Bennett met the runaway Rooster at a secret location in Sydney, Packer flew to Coffs Harbour on his private jet to join Crowe and Mitchell for a private dinner, catered for by a personal chef.

While details of the dinner at Crowe’s luxury Nana Glen estate were revealed by The Daily Telegraph last week, Packer’s attendance and involvement in the bid were kept a closely guarded secret.

Until today.

The casino mogul and Crowe teamed up to convince Mitchell that South Sydney was his new home. Mitchell travelled back to Sydney intent on becoming a Rabbitoh.

After knocking back South’s first offer, Mitchell agreed to sign last Sunday on a one-year deal with another year option in the club’s favour. The deal is estimated to be worth $1.4 million over two years.

Despite signing a deal worth less than the $3.2 million he had been offered by the Roosters over four years, Mitchell is content with the contract that could amount to just $600,000 should Souths not exercise the second year.

The Roosters were stunned that Mitchell accepted the deal after he reportedly “laughed’’ when they made him the $800,000-a-year offer.

Avoiding an ugly showdown with their oldest rivals, the Roosters backed away from a compensation demand and released Mitchell from the final year of his deal.

But on one condition.

He must pay out his former manager, Steve Deacon.

ADDO CARR LINKED TO BUNNIES

With the dust yet to settle on the Latrell Mitchell deal, South Sydney have already been linked to another NRL big name.

Less than 48 hours after announcing they had signed Mitchell, there are noises emerging that Souths are now interested in Josh Addo-Carr, the man known as the Fox, and preparing to offer the Storm a player swap.

South Sydney have reportedly shopped Alex Johnston, Adam Doueihi and Dane Gagai to rival clubs."

Souths aren’t getting JAC. Roosters in pole position, us burning gas in hot pursuit... just remains to be seen if we’re driving the right direction

Do we have room for BJ? If we have AD and Stef coming? It would be wise to leave that 30th spot open , unless of course we can move on some high priced non performers? imo.

Can alternate those 25-30 spots as the club sees fit.

Now that would be a great pickup. Speed, strength and youth.
Top notch with young age potential Certain to lead higher honours. I’d pay 1/2 mill for him .... no question about that.
 
How can $1m be classified a ‘War Chest’ - we were willing to part with that for 1 player and now talk of shovelling it out for bogans like Dugan & Doueihi?
Sign BJ for sure then it’s Ado Carr at all costs for me, he offers speed and knows his way to the line.
I’d seriously turn off if I had to watch Dugan writhing on the ground in pain after each tackle then popping up to confirm the farce a minute later - just the site of those Tatts makes me vomit, skin the guy like a snake if we’re dumb enough to throw him a lifeline.
Dugan was also the instigator of “fullback money” when he was whinging and whining at the Dragons for more coin then ditched them when they didn’t relent.
I’m sick of the mention of “fullback money” on this forum, it makes you sound like a prodigy of Dugan and Buzz.

I think Doughi would be better than Duggan to many injuries

Absolutely.

Wouldn't touch Dugan with a barge pole. Not even if he paid us the 750k.

AD has all before him - grab with both hands, please!
 
BJ and Brian To’o would be valuable pick ups, that is if JAC ends up at the Roosters!

2. David Nofoaluma
3. BJ Leilua
4. Talau
5. Brian To’o

Now that’s got some serious strength and some pace their too - To’o and Nofa are quite quick
