Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Douehi not worth $600 a year. $350 at best.. rather wait for a real fullback with pace

 

[Demps]

I’ll take Mbye over Lichaa Demps. Lichaa couldn’t even land a contract this year.

Two words: Matt Utai

Also, if you are interested in more words: I believe 100% that if Tigers didn't offer Lawrence a deal this year, he'd be without a club in 2020. Sometimes players aren't that bad, they just don't fit what most clubs are after, or the clubs didn't think left-field enough.

Manly just snapped up Danny Levi as coverage for Fainu, and I personally reckon Levi is one of the most ordinary hookers going around.

Levi sux. Nice guy tho.
Expect him to kill it at manly.

Much like Lichaa would if he was given a chance.

my contact said the Douehi talks have dead set stalled completely and we are almost no chance
JL looks promising but he doesnt know the exact offer tabled to him though

Our management are deadset brain dead
Apparently we are baulking at the cost...but we were happy to pay way overs for Mitchell...I just don't get this mob

500/600k for Doohey is way , way , way overs imo

It’s so annoying when you hear of like 3 different people it’s a done deal then nothing happens haha just goes to show nothing is set in stone till it’s up on the westigers website

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

i think 500k is too much for Douhi better vallue in JL

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

I would sign AD for 4yrs if the coin was right.
Maybe spreading over a few years would allow us to grab him on a cheaper deal.

So there’s still a glimmer of hope?

 

[finnzo]

I think if we could get ad for 350 this year then 400 the year after we would be doing pretty well

Brain dead is correct. Bloody stupid. He would have made a massive difference but we’re going to be also rans again.

You should not pay overs for players but it is something our club never seems to get right.Finally we may have someone in charge who understands this even though the reported money we where prepared to throw at LM was insane

Yeah I fully agree Madge knows a hell of a lot more about footy than I do so I’ll leave it in his cable hands haha

 

[cqtiger]

If the bunnies aren’t chipping in it’s not worth pursuing Douehi. His contract is just too much to take on

THIS

Users: Douhei is unproven, not worth 4 years
Also users: lets sign will kennedy

Yeh but Kennedy comes form a league fam so he must be good like jenn........

That's disappointing

Not surprising though.

No it's not

We do need to spend a certain percentage of our cap don't we?

Might as well spend it on AD and JL

They will certainly add to what we have

Pretty sure Pascoe said that we did not offer Latrell anything like what was reported.

As I suspected Mitchell was a mistake. They’re now tightening the screws to massage public perception.
That way they refine potential recruits to those who really want to be here. Did someone cop a scolding over the Mitchell business? I’m sure there’s a lot more to this than we’re being told.

This is the problem that many supporters here have, but thankfully Madge and JP seem to have learned their lesson. “We need to spend the cap, may as well throw it at....”

That is the issue THIS year but when you throw money at at player, it’s not for a year, it’s for 2, 3 or (if we give Doueihi what he reportedly wants) 4 years!

This is how this club has screwed itself for decades. Thank god we have people in charge who can see it.

Look my preference would be 3 years but I don’t view Douehi as a risky signing. Leilua is far more risky imo
