Bulldogs sign Blake Green on 1 year deal https://twitter.com/MCarayannis/status/1298492235395133441?s=19

Would assume Foran is gone than. I would take Foran over Benji any day for next year

Johns valued Foran between $500 to $600k. We are paying Benji significantly less.

What time of the night was it when Johns started valuing Foran?

?

Irrelevant to johns. I'm sure he would self medicate at breakfast if needed

So Barrett has said he wont raid Penrith's squad but surely that won't stop the Bulldogs chasing Burton. If he wants to follow Barrett it's not up to any one else to stop it happening.

I think it would be fair game because panthers have gRanted them to look because spots are taken and they can sort out their cap.

We'll get Burton, big chance Staines, Laurie will stay.

mate i hope your mail comes to through could be a game-changer kids looks like exactly what we need.

How can you tell that from 5 games? I’m not trying to be a wet blanket, but people need to chill a bit.

You seem pretty sure of that?

I was 100% when I gave you Apu, I'm 80% on Burton.

why not Staines? is he staying in Penrith? or got a bigger offer elsewhere

So far no-one has matched the Tigers offer for Burton.,which is way more than Penrith can go, so that's the good news. Staines is hotter property and there's a lot of interest, looks like they want to keep Laurie or he wants to stay.

how much have we offered burton??? overs and a fullback spot??

Who knows.He's still contracted btw, so we have to hope Penrith will let him go a year early

This is our best way forward as we don't have the money to recruit the big name players plus they don't want to come here. .
How long so you think this is going to be before it is sorted out either way ?

Season's end. I don't think anything can happen until November.

I would definitely be keen on Foran. The daily telegraph a week or two ago reported Foran is willing to take a massive pay cut and earn about $300k-$350k a season. For that price I’d be down

Money down the drain. His body is broken.

Yep, I'd be surprised if he gets a contract anywhere.

I would rather the club pay Foran $350k than Benji $350k.

Benji is not on $350k so you don't have to worry.

Such a shame as it would be a excellent morale boost for the fans to hear this news sooner rather then later.. We have been burnt before and feel the longer things play out the worse it gets for us.. Fingers crossed

Burton would be awesome but I would also like a senior half next to him (and not Brooks). Burton + Foran or Burton + Widdop would make me happy. Brooks can't be the most experienced player / leader of our spine.

 

[rihannafan1]

I think Pom said the club hadn't entertained the thought of Foran iirc, and the more I think about it the more unsure I become. yes he's a quality player, but he's getting older, struggled with injuries and personal demons in his career and his defence isn't what it once was. not to mention wanting security and a reasonable contract, we might be better moving Doueihi to 6 or chasing a Burton or a Hastings.

I think we should make a big play for Burton.....kid is a gun

I'd say he's a pretty big chance of following Barrett to the dogs, but we'd be stupid not to have a crack at him.

I think I read somewhere he had to sign a no poaching clause or something like that.

I wonder about those conditions. Nothing to stop him from poaching them a year from now.
One of the conditions of his release was that he would take no players from the Panthers.

Burton and AD, Staines at fullback. Might be a bit green to start 2021, but it will be a gun combo for years to come.

I am really liking AD at fullback tbh, I feel like he might be a bit predictable at 6 and his defence in the frontline might not be good enough, I dont know. I think he is a quality player.

No complaints if he stays at fullback, but then we’d need another half.

This would be my go too. But as you also have said, am not against leaving AD at the back either depending on who we can pick up

With Green joining the dogs, hopefully it would improve the chances of the Tigers signing Burton

I would like to think so, but we would need to get Penrith to release him a year early

I know a certain young halfback who won a grand final in his second season with a five rookie 5/8 next to him.

 

[tigertye]

I’d love to get Hetherington. Bit of a mad dog out there but becoming a bit of an enforcer. Plays how Packer ‘should’ be playing for us. Reminds me of a young JWH.

I hope you are right mate, I suggested them a while back, mentioned it again earlier today, Burton in the halves and Staines at fullback would be a huge improvement
