Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[pawsandclaws1]

The Sharks Forum have WTs and Sharks attempting to sign young Illawarra prop Kye Rodwell whom is with the Rabbits. He has played U20s for the Kangaroos. He is a very good young forward.

Hey Everyone👍
It’s been a few years since I’ve posted on here, but I’ve been following it on and off.
Hope you guys are all doing great.......as good as you can be with our side missing out again.
I know everyone’s keen on signing somebody and so am I, but if there’s no one off any significance or a real bargain that adds something to the team I’d happily see the tigers save their dollars for 2022.

Only problem is you can’t really save dollars on your cap you have to spent 95% of it I spose you could give players a 1 year contract extension and wait for some 1 decent to come available in the mean time

Let the clean out begin. Just speculating and some conclusions unconfirmed and without a definite reliable source but here is what I would like to see for next year. If Santa brings just 50% of these toys I’m be happy. So here goes ......

Clearing the decks: My top 10 on 2020 Santa’s Xmas stocking list .....

Santa’s wish 1. Release Moses Mbye with 40% loading (Walters and Holbrook both rate this guy so just a chance?)
Santa’s wish 2. Medical retirement for Russell Packer.
Santa’s wish 3. Josh Reynolds to England Warrington Wolves straight swap for Gareth Widdop.
Santa’s wish 4. Swap Luke Garner for Josh Schuster.
Santa’s wish 5. Billy Walters To Brisbane.
Santa’s wish 6. Release Chee Kam to The Bulldogs.
Santa’s wish 7. Sign Matt Burton..... we should go all out for this guy .... future is as very effective ball playing lock forward).
Santa’s wish 8. Sign Harry Grant to long term contract.
Santa’s wish 9. Sign Charlie Stains from Panthers.
Santa’s wish 10. Sign Aaron Woods on subsidised deal from Cronulla.

All I want for Christmas is you you and you

I’d be upset if we lost billy Walters I think he is a great back up half/hooker on next to nothing

Don’t we already have 4 or 5 players as backup for those positions .
I think outside backs, fullback, back rower is more in need

Son of Illawarra legend whose Christian name escapes me... was it Matt? Good centre?

NRL: New Bulldogs coach Trent Barret needs to fill three positions on his 2021 roster and Cronulla could have the free agents he needs
OCTOBER 6, 2020 6:04PM
Watch the special moment NSW Blues coach Brad Fittler called Zac Lomax to let him know he's in the squad ahead of State of Origin.

Matt LogueNCA NewsWire
Canterbury could target Cronulla free agents Matt Moylan, Josh Dugan and Aaron Woods to help fill its final three roster spots for the 2021 season.
New coach Trent Barrett is targeting a half, a middle forward and an outside back to complete his team.

The Bulldogs are watching the market closely, with a host of clubs set to make decisions on their future rosters in the coming weeks.


Cronulla’s stars Moylan, Dugan, and Woods are all free agents from November 1.

Depending on decisions made by Sharks officials to juggle the salary cap, this could open the door for Canterbury to pounce.

The Bulldogs have also expressed an interest in Penrith young gun Matt Burton, who isn’t off contract until the end of 2021.

Canterbury officials can’t officially negotiate with the Dubbo-born playmaker until he becomes a free agent from November 1 this year.

If Penrith aren’t willing to release Burton, the Bulldogs will have to look at off-contract halves like Drew Hutchison, Jaeman Salmon and Tyrone Roberts.

The Bulldogs’ overhaul under Barrett is well under way with the club parting ways with eight players from this season, including veterans Kieran Foran and Aiden Tolman.


Canterbury have already signed Canberra back Nick Cotric and Manly back-rower Corey Waddell, but the club are still looking to secure three crucial positions.

Canterbury are also keen to secure a prop to form a potent combination with English recruit Luke Thompson.

The Bulldogs could make a play for Brisbane big man Matt Lodge, who is on the outer at the Broncos despite being contracted until the end of 2022.

Brisbane could part ways with prop Matt Lodge, opening the door for a club like Canterbury. Picture: Annette Dew Source: News Corp Australia
Canterbury are also in the market for an outside back given the club desperately lacked points in 2020.

The Bulldogs have expressed interest in Brisbane back Jack Bird, who has been dogged by injuries, including a season-ending ACL during the pre-season.

There are also a host of outside backs still without a contract for next season, including Jordan Kahu, Dale Copley, Sandor Earl, Brenko Lee and Gerard Beale.

So if Bulldogs sign Woods again, does that mean they will be paying part of his freight to release him, and also his new salary?

Brett Rodwell from Wests Wollongong. Very strong running style.

Yeah that’s kind of what I meant mate.
I’d rather not go out and sign anybody if there’s no real assets around.

“How does he do that? They’re all under contract,” he said.
“You just go and do it,” Kent responded. “You do what the Warriors did. They went out and they wanted a tough, hard-nosed front-rower. They picked Addin Fonua-Blake but he had two years to go on his contract… did not matter.”
“It’s negotiation, contracts don’t mean anything these days. They don’t mean anything if you can do the negotiating. You’ve got to be clever at that and that’s what the Broncos have got

Kent is a moron and he has the situation backwards.

It's one thing to ILLEGALLY approach a contracted player and try and get them to agitate to leave their current club. It's another thing entirely to try and shift players you already have on contract.

So yeah Warriors got on top of AFB pretty quickly, but that's Manly freeing up the cash not Warriors.

Not from what I’ve heard. Warriors deal with AFB was a done deal before he approached manly management.........

You aren't contradicting what I said.

I said it's one thing to approach players at other clubs, when you have space. The Broncos story is they want to move 2-3 players on. Kent says "just go out and do it, contracts mean nothing these days". They sure as hell do when nobody wants the player you are trying to sell.

I said when we were trying to sign Latrell, before souths even entered the picture, he had a deal at souths, agitated to get out. Easts learned of this and let him look around, us the Titans and Cows were just a charade for the media

Why is it that Broncos can change their team in a blink, while WT are stuck with seeing out contracts?

Because people think Lodge, Milf etc. have something to offer. No one wants Reynolds or Packer.

I would not take Lodge unless they paid half and also took packer off us... No Chance
