Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

My source tells me that CHN is in talks with the eagles and the tigers . So I guess whoever comes up with the best offer .

The reason they couldn’t hold onto Matterson and force eels to release Stefano was Matterson was leaving the club either way - if they kept him after November they would’ve had to start paying his contract which would’ve come out of our cap and it would’ve been cheaper for eels.

Eels knew that so they denied the Stefano release and waited for Matterson. I’d much prefer it this way compared to having to pay Matterson to play for eels.

We would surely have to be in a much better financial position to make an offer than Manly....

Pretty sure manly have a full squad too... unless Fainu isn’t being counted because he’s a stood down?

Hasler is good at convincing players to join up too he’s a very good man manager

They are parting way with Thompson, so they will have his money , but ur right we must have cap space , let’s see if we can get at least one signing over the line .

One thing people seem to forget when talking about our cap for next hear is that we’ll be paying Joey Leilua a decent amount next year, raiders are paying like half his contract this year but next year the club takes his whole salary.

Could be the same for Doueihi too? I can’t remember.

First thing we need to do is sign a hooker. Cameron McInnes or Brandon Smith would be the players I would target.

Brandon Smith would be a fantastic signing. Can’t see a Melbourne letting him go but would be worth a try.

He is signed until 2022. Someone is going to have their nose out of joint for a few years down there. And it could be ugly if C Smith plays on.

Just saw on Facebook that apparently Tigers and Warriors have offers in front of JDB for next year. Was posted by a disgruntled Dragons fan.

Hope he goes to warriors.

He's a better lock than anyone we have Avo.

I couldn’t care if he’s the greatest player in the history of rugby league. I don’t want him at any price. I’d rather sign Robert Jennings for $1m a year for 10 years.

Adam Blair is available, bring the GOAT back

You spelt GOAT incorrectly - it should be DOPE.

I don't believe any club would be offering JDB a contract at this point. I hope we aren't. He was never very good.

You are kidding Earl - one of the best locks until he was outed. SOO player as well.

What are you on about - Matterson was signed until the end of 2021- he wasn't going anywhere without a release. We wouldn't of paid parra a cent. We would have been paying a disgruntled sook to sit out the season if he refused to play - nothing more. So he would have been a good bargaining chip if we hadn't been so keen to release him.

There’s no way the club could’ve kept him his position was untenable. Keep him in reserve grade and you’re paying his contract to do nothing but upset the playing group.

The club had no choice but to release him, and they didn’t want to pay him to play at another club so they let him go. Keeping him past November was not a smart option.

The original post was about why didn't we keep him a few months longer to force Parras hand in releasing Stefano. Someone posted that he was going anyway and that we would have been paying parra for him to play if we didn't release him. Thats what my post is about - nothing about the untenable situation - i couldn't give a rats that we released him - however we played it really badly.

Are you happy to sign CHN? Avo.

That’s what I said, and it’s true. As soon as it’s past November you start paying a players contract. If we kept him after November we would have to start paying him when he would get a release either way and it would come out of our cap. That’s why he got released at that time.

The club tried getting a player swap from clubs but clubs knew they could wait and he would get a release anyway. Club was in a crap position, lose-lose really and we can thank Matto for that.

What he did was dumb but it wasn’t as bad as Okunbor. CHN wasn’t even on the school tour I believe, he met her through tinder that night.

I wouldn’t quite compare that to allegedly raping someone whilst his pregnant girlfriend was at home. Bit of a diff don’t you think?

Throw in a lifetime supply of Sorbent as a TPA. Should get it over the line.

Nothing has been proven as yet.

If he is found guilty - no one will be signing him anyway, because he will be in the lock up.
