Logen Dillon aka Papz 2.0

 

[needsanewusername]

was wondering what happened to adam elliot? apparently he snubbed our offer?

From what I understand, his decision centred around him getting off the turps. He has family in Canberra that he will live with to help him. This one wasn’t about us stuffing the deal or him snubbing us. He realised this is his last chance to resurrect a career derailed by alcohol fuelled incidents.

He could be something special if the club invests in him ?

Few other lads in the same boat.

Can only go so far if given the opportunity.

Someone posted here that Elliot was offered a longer deal from the raiders than us also

@THE_POM good to see the king is back!!!
was wondering what happened to adam elliot? apparently he snubbed our offer? also is api still in the question or is hodgson our number 1 priority, heard that sims was also in talks got any news on him?

Elliott decision was based on getting out of Sydney & longer contract. We only offered 1 & Raiders are offer 2.

Api from what I'm told is purely his manager playing the game, he doesn't want to leave Panthers.
We were approached not the other way around.

Logen Dillon is highly rated by the club, Expecting him to be on a development deal for 2022.

Great news.

Shame about Jordan Hill though.

Quick Update:

The club has a 2 year deal on the table for Hodgson ready to go, his deal with Raiders for 2022 is worth around 650k. We are willing to pay 350k-400k with Raiders chipping in the rest, his deal for 2023 is for 550-600k. His management have discussed a 3rd year but that will preferably be a club option at most.

Luciano will get his upgrade for 2022 but no where near the reported $$. A 3 year ext has also been in discussions for sometime, expect the deal to be done, with his upgrade & ex the averaged out annual salary will be closer to 575k a season.

Hartigan's departure has thrown recruitment into a bit of a tail spin but will has been on track the last couple days, as things do tend to happen when you lift the rug after someone leaves things are looking great in his favour, mainly from local junior side of the club, but many found it difficult to get a straight answer from him & then took the liberty of making some decisions without prior consult with management or coach, like nearly offering a deal to Chee Kam.

Coaching support staff I believe will be announced this week, with Nathan Cayless & Ben Gardiner to be assistants. Ryan Carr was very close but Gardiner's rapport with his players got him over the line.

Backrow & Centre are the clubs main priority with it's few remaining spots, there has been no official discussion about letting Liddle go. Madge has spoken to both Jake & Jacob of the pending arrival for Hodgson.
Luke Garner going to Manly doesn't seem to be going away, but can't see it happening unless we need a roster spot for a better target.

Thanks @THE_POM . Any news regarding upgrades and extensions for Stefano or Daine?

Sorry forgot to add that part, Nothing on Daine as yet, but Stefano is currently in the process of being upgraded for next year & an extra 2 years on top of current deal. This should be sorted over the off-season.

That is good news.

Back in May, after watching Cini kill it for Wests in the reggies, I was guilty of suggesting he reminded me of a young Garry Jack.

Then someone kicked a high ball to him, and well, the rest is history ...

Going to Canberra doesn't take you away from drinking culture. But can understand if he thinks moving from Sydney would be a solution

Another Hartigan short fall, like Jordan Hill never followed up with scheduled meeting, not lost yet but I doubt he's staying around.

It’s really looking like Hartigan had dropped the ball a lot, for someone who was supposedly a gun at his job? Can see why he was tapped.

As stated, he has family in Canberra that he is going to live with to help him.

Do you think we will actually get Hodgson with the Raiders other hooker arrested now ?

I would like to see us still go after Helium Luki from the Cowboys.
Big boy at 6’5 and quick for 103kg with a few kilos of muscle still to go onto his frame.

He is young and has a go and we could team him with Blore, Seyfarth, Tuki for a few years to come.Investing in youth is the way to go.

He is a hitter aye.
Would compliment our pack perfectly.

We can make him an offer Nov 1. @tigerballs has stated in the past he is on our radar

Heilum Luki is waiting until after lockdown to visit WT. We’ve offered more than Cowboys, only family will stop him signing. He’s definitely a massive chance.

That's what was said in a recent chat....

Well there's no restrictions so presumably he's here now then?

The info might be a couple of weeks old. @Demps how recent is the intel?

Few days old...

Lockdown over so he should be coming to tour the facilities you'd think, if he was keen.

Is he allowed back into Queensland after the visit..pretty sure the border is still closed
