Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Looks like Paul Vaughn might get the boot from the Dragqueens… worth a shot for 2 years?

How can the dragons tear up his 800k contract but we can’t tear up Mbye’s?

Bringing the club into disrupted would be sufficient grounds lacking ability to play quality football week to week is not.

Seeing it has happened twice and the club has Vaughn signed on club based option ...most definitely ......

But in this case with his 8 week suspension they can let his last year on his terms roll out ....and avoid having to pay him out ......unless he was already on a final warning

 

[JRDee]

If TPJ goes to the dogs , we should make inquires about Raymond Faitala-Mariner.

Josh Jackson lol

Geoff Robinson

The fall out from the Saints debacle will be interesting and the action they take Zac Lomax would be a good pick up if he became avaiable

Jaydn Sua tossing up between WT and Dragons. He could be here next week!

Any update on this one mate ??

Keen to know if this is legit or just a rumour you heard?

Yeah the Griffin factor. Wonder if the Saints forum complains that Hook can only attract old Broncos players

 

[izotope]

Surely saints can't land Su'A and TPJ. We must get one.

How much cap can the dogs have left

 

[KingRobbie]

Not sold on Su'a, he's played some good footy but has gone off the boil lately, been dropped because he wasn't playing good enough. Hits hard but has errors in him, doesn't make a heap of metres running the footy and doesn't score much either.

He's one of Bennett's favourites and Wayne has dropped him, that speaks volumes IMO. Not opposed to it but don't think he will be anymore than a 'decent' signing, obviously happy to be proven wrong.

I don’t mind Sua but he’s definitely a bit of an Aldi TPJ

Agreed. TPJ is way more damaging and Su'A can't read defence for his life.

His big hit (which half the time he shoulder charges and gets penalised for anyway) is all he's got.

Koloamatangi is a lot better (but contracted til end of '23).

He is, that’s why Wayne plays him and probably also why his not the one off contract.

 

[yeahcaz]

We do not need Su’a. He’s not playing in a south’s side that is already struggling defensively so that should tell you all you need to know. He was one of Wayne’s favourite sons, so much so he once said he rated him above Haas and Fifita and now he’s not even on the bench. Read between the bloody lines for once and stop signing rejects

Yeah I mentioned Keloamatangi 2 years ago

Wow Kent said tigers would need 950 for dale finucane

Joke!
If we pay anywhere near that I’m done.

Kent was pointing out the system is a joke. The fact that Melbourne could get him 500-650 even less IMO but clubs like us have to pay overs 950 to get players of that standard show system is not working

Kent also said the top clubs have earned the right to pay the better players less as they are more of a chance at winning comps

So there’s a tier system?
GF teams pay little, finalists pay a bit more, mid table teams pay more again and bottom teams pay through the nose?

It’s up to the hack teams to improve

Been told by Forum MOD's we wont sign him because the majority of the Forum won't be able to spell his name ...same reason we eventually lost Seamanufangai and will lose Utoikamani ...how Nofoaluma passes this standard just buggers me ..and he is crap .....

 

[Aceshigh]

The only way for us to be playing on a level field with the top teams , is to sign all big players for wotever $ they want , and worry bout the salary cap later , just like the successful clubs , Storm ,Parra , Sharks and even the Dogs are spending up big after so called salary cap breaches .

Whilst our club's position on the ladder remains somewhere near the current double that of the Dragons, one would expect less complaints.
