Whoever neg repped me speak up you weakling !

The dogs just offer players 100k+ more than they are worth, we have come out and said we will not be paying overs anymore which will shoot us in the foot a couple times.

Because we have been burnt in the past... We just need to pick better and we have the staff now to do this unlike Cleary's recruitment.
need to get the first one over the line and if that means an extra 100k then so be it... Make it happen

spot on we need to pay oversi know it has bit us in backside before but we need some quality
Only three would be worth overs I reckon would be one of

No we don’t need to overpay. That’s what we have been doing and it totally unbalances the cap. We end up in the dilemma we are now with nearly $2M sitting idle and not playing. I hope we get JAC but if we don’t just move onto the next.

Remember when souffs signed Inglis ..?


Remember when Souffs realised that they had GI on a massive contract and that he was fat and unfit and couldnt perform at that level anymore and he all of a sudden developed mental health issues and went to rehab and retired, but magically got a post career job that would pay him the same, all endorsed by Greenberg?

Remember that?

Yeah but the Inglis signing got them out of the rut and playing semi finals ...

Until it sucked all their cap again. They only got out of it because of a dodgy deal with Turdberg.

All because we got burnt with Reynolds Mbye and Packer doesn’t mean we’ll get burnt again ..

If we continue with your ‘system’ we may as well throw Aiden Tolman a lifeline and plod off into the sunset

Patience padawan, patience. There is a lot to extract from and it will take time. Now is not the time to panic.

It is not just that. Barret is "a player's coach". The Turbo bros love him and player's talk. A lot of coaches like Cleary and Barret treat each player differently.

Madge is one way...10000% and intense.

That works for Bellamy as you get grand finals and glory.

But not many people want that intensity. Madge will only attract a certain type of player...and that means we need to be patient. LL, AD want Madge's style, but not everyone does. Bennet gives blokes a week off...everyone is his best mate...

You are wrong about Madge. He treats every player individually, Harry Grant was quoted exactly this in his PoTY interview at the awards night. Madge loves his players, but only as much as they let him in. He doesn't love them unconditionally.

How often does a player with Addo Carr’s credentials come along ?
You say we’re building nicely but we’ve gone backwards.

I agree. Too many people have been sucked into the false media narrative of Madge. It suits the media because it provides for easy click bait material.

No, so your point is lost on me.

Marquee signings attract more marquee signings and put bums on seats
Souths were a rabble before Inglis joined them .
We need a marquee signing to get out of the mediocrity rut that we continually find ourselves in ..
Addo Carr is easily worth 1 Mill ...
Time to up the ante !

No just no. That’s not how professional systems work.

So Doohey on $600k works ?
BJ on $650 works ?
Offering Tamou a pension works ?

No wonder we suck !

We are building nicely, given the cap disaster Voldemort left us in. No need to blow the cap again and leave us in the same position that the despicable Voldemort left us.

I think the first one will need overs just to get the ball rolling... Not 3 or 4 like the past.
Just need to get that first major signing to add to our excellent junior recruitment and off we go..

I have downvoted you 3 times today, apparently that is the limit. A limit on posting drivel would be far better for the forum.

I find the Costco version better than the Aldi version, as you get 2 of them in the same pack.

Do you know any of this to be true directly, or all hearsay? I'm not a fan of making grand statements about the personalities of people you've never met, nor even had second-hand information about.

 

[Sart0ri]

You need to get a personality

I *need* more downvotes.

There is a thumbs up and a thumbs down, aren't they of equal value? Is a thumbs up considered agreeing with a post and a thumbs down a curse on someone's descendants for all time?

Why are downvotes limited!!!!

Bulldogs hardly a benchmark for recruitment success.

[Mighty_Tiger]

It’s funny that many are make or break on JAC.

Scoring points wasn’t an issue this year, preventing them was our biggest issue which is managed through the forwards/halves and fullbacks.

JAC isn’t a fullback. I would prefer to spend the money on a rising fullback and half over JAC.

Next year we aren’t going to be a contender and 2022 at this stage we won’t either depending if we can snare some awesome signings which lets face it is doubtful.

Will it suck missing JAC if we do yeah but tbh I think we need the money spent on other positions more than on JAC.

Going from 9th last 2 seasons to 11th this season you call that building nicely

Benji said it on 360.....I am presuming he knows what he is talking about.


"From a guy like Madge (Maguire) who only knows one way of, 'we're going to train as hard as we can, we're going to get as fit as we can and it doesn't matter what it takes to get to that, we're going to build mental toughness'... and I really enjoyed that," the New Zealand star added.
**"But I think what's happened now is the generation has changed where I think the kids are a little bit different these days where individually people need different types of training, or different types of understanding.
"Some people don't handle tough love, and understanding that is probably the biggest challenge that Madge is going to have for next year."**
