BREAKING: @NRL_Bulldogs have released Corey Harawira-Naera! On his way to @RaidersCanberra ... #nrl

Don’t see us landing a marquee signing, who’s available? JAC will be tough to get. CHN seems keen on going to Canberra. I don’t see many options, hopefully Madge can find some more guys like Luciano and Doueihi

When’s the last time we had a marquee signing? Was it Lote?

Lote was our last good one that’s for sure.

That’s a damn shame

Seems like Melbourne are targeting Johnston according to reports. Makes a lot of sense for them, it could lead to Souths signing JAC but if they can’t even afford to keep Johnston they would surely have to release someone to get The Fox

But don't Rabbitohs now have cash freed up from that teen bloke going to rugby?

He wouldn’t even be eligible for first grade next year so not sure how that works

Missing out on CHN really stings. We still struggle to sign big targets. At least Madge has shown he can find a bargain player who can do well

He’s hardly Gordon Tallis.

You would think, but they couldn't afford Latrell, but signed him anyway, poor form if they do, tell local junior Johnston there is no money, then go sign a rep player to replace him

When is news not news hahaha. They say they had $300k in the cap. Probably still have $295k left now

It is just so annoying, they have a stacked roster, but somehow have a spare $300k, the salary cap is really working well, hurry up and get Vlandy's on to the cap rorting, that would help the game

Good player though. Would have strengthened our lineup.

With Garner and Luciano, we would struggle to find a spot for him. It is the young talented players on the cusp of the NRL which offer us best value and can grow with our young team.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

good young backs - Walsh, Staggs, Isaako

One of these things is not like the others.

I have confidence Maguire would have all three firing. You have to make all three feel loved ? I just heard Maguire on 10 say it would be difficult for most clubs to fit SBW under the salary cap. Is there a veiled message?

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

With Madge as coach since CHN didnt sign hope he doesnt want to play test matches for kiwis anymore

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

i think we might make a sneaky play for SBW for this year but with quarantine it is probably only 3 games or so

 

[supercoach]

Would have loved CHN but glad he is off to the Raiders and not the Chooks. IMO we have more pressing areas to address than the backrow

No thanks. SBW was good 10 or so years ago, not so much now. Be on about the same level as McQueen these days IMO.

so the market it heating up and not much coming from Tigers..... I wonder if we will get any signings or just promote internally? I still don't understand why we struggle to get players to come here.

I know, it is very disheartening to see a good player on the market, and we never get them here, yet wooden spoon teams can attract good players
