Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[sleeve]

This thread is going to get boring now.
Who is the next player to take another 100 pages ?

Who else if off contract? Not really anyone of note. We need to get linked to a good player again

We need another backrower. Who that is can be spent talking about for the next 100 pages

If we're after a big ball playing backrower, there's a bloke at the Eels who doesn't really value contracts. I thinks his name is Ryan?

Is this the same Ryan that copped a bellringer last year?

 

[Snake]

nofo has been in our top few players every year since debut, deserves a strong contract to finish

The same players that not have been able to make a mediocre top 8 for a decade .. should of been signed for an additional 2 seasons with the last in the clubs favour that would of been more than generous that’s 3 seasons ! Not 5 Seasons..

Reliable poster on the bulldogs forum has said momirovski has signed/ or is close to signing with bulldogs. Anyone here heard anything else?

Trust me, he’s not going anywhere

I hope you are right. Easily one of our best players.

I believe he will play plenty of 1st grade this year. And agree. I don’t get why he has so many critics

It's not that he has critics. A lot of us see a slow technically very good centre. People on here overstate how good he is. I want him to stay but surely he won't be the first picked option in the centres or if he is given a go there I fully expect Roberts and BJ or even Talau to get his spot at some point.

He is an average player. I've seen people state Madge has guaranteed him a spot and that he is potentially the captain. This is guy who hasn't at any point proven he is anything more than a fringe first grader.

I reckon as a squad member he is a great option or as a moneyball player where you stack other positions in the team he is a great option. We have BJ, Roberts and Talau all vying for a centre spot. I wouldn't pick Momo ahead of any of them assuming those guys are available.

He's faster than Dooey, scores at a better rate than any of our other centre candidates, kicks goals, tackles well and has played in two premiership winning teams. Wish we had a few more average players like him.



To me if BJ & Roberts are anywhere near there best, they will be the centres. They have a far higher ceiling than Momo, who I also agree is just an average first grader. Momo should also never be considered for the wing, as he is far too slow (Didn't Klemmer run him down vs the Knights at Campbelltown?).

Keyword “if”

Momo has already proven he has what it takes to be a strike centre for us as evident in 2019. BJ was terrible last year and while I hold high hopes for roberts, hasn’t proven anything just yet

Madge DOES rate him. Hence why he extended him for a further 2 years.

He is not and never will be a strike centre.

You’re right. A strike centre would have a strike rate of 14 tries in 19 games or something like that.

Hard not to get excited about this fella. Lightning acceleration, a good step and cut out pass.

 

[Big Brain]

If that’s a 4 year deal with the 4th not as a club option, we’re idiots.

Club loyalty is one thing taking the team to a top 4 finish is another . With the Chairman getting involved tells me the club has learnt nothing , would any top 4 club sign Nofo to a 4 yr deal someone that has no idea how to defend … my prediction he will be playing Reggie’s in 2022 .

Cry me a river

There will be a lot of that this season

Tears of joy


I can't fatham how we got suckered in to keeping Nofo for another 4 seasons after his 28th birthday. For much of his contract at the Tigers, despite his heart, he was already overpaid and people thought he didn't deserve what he was getting.

Now we sign him for another 4 years (plus the 1 he already has, so 5 years). 2 Further years to his 30th birthday was the right deal, 3 was being generous, and 4 years Nofo + manager have taken us for a ride. Be prepared to have another 500-600k sitting in reserve grade in 3 years time, or be prepared to have a youngstar (say Fitzgibbon) have their path blocked by this decision.

The salary cap implications this has later on is significant and people who think this is a good re-signing can't think long term. Give me AJ & Talau on the wing and put that extra 600k to geting Harry Grant.

You numbskulls rip in because we don’t keep our juniors, then we keep a junior that is our leading try scorer and in you come again. If a youngster, the one you named being unknown and unproven, is having his path blocked by a player who scores more tries than just about anyone else then I don’t care.

We're not getting Harry Grant. You can't just use your salary cap on imaginary players, that's not how the game works.

Great comment. Also, the cap could be $12 million by 2024/5. People sweating the small stuff. Let’s just make the finals for once.

Just thinking with Mbye wanting to return to QLD, what do you reckon the likelihood of him being picked up by a northern team is? I have a feeling he won't see out his contract at WT.

He might not be we need him to see out this year unless something changes in the halves and at fullback.

That’s what they said about Tedesco, Moses and Woods. Put better players around them and they all played finals.

Don’t blame one player for not making finals.

The defence in that clip is atrocious bordering on comical.

I think everybody forgets this part...he’s carving up kids that play footy part time. Sure he has a gap on them. But will be a different story when he’s up against seasoned professionals, then I’ll be impressed

To put it into perspective, that defence would get you dropped from any 3rd grade Comp in regional NSW.
