We should take a leaf out of the dogs book to land signings. The way they landed Luke Thompson they flew over there to get the contract signed.

Let us not take a leaf out of anything Bulldogs do at the moment.

They are landing players because their roster is almost completely without talent and they have tonnes of salary cap to throw around.

They seem to be more professional than us. Getting contracts signed, don't have players AND sometimes coaches walking almost on a yearly basis.

Yeah sure they get contracts signed, like Foran on a million a season and Greg Eastwood on $700K a season and T-Rex on whatever stupid money he was on, plus constant infighting a spiking of their board members. Ah that green, green grass...

Better than having everyone walking out

In fairness that was the previous administration.

This could be the clean out and rebuild that we didn’t see coming?
Now I am excited!

True, but I would have liked to keep Aloiai and McIntyre. I thought they were both keepers.

Reynolds and Packer are the two players I’m excited to get rid of at the end of 2021. Will free up some good space. Their value to the team is zero.


I also wanted to keep McIntyre and Aloiai, but if those guys are going then expect a few more.

Well there is something to think about
Manly want Aloiai, they have to take packer as well and give us a player in return

Very comforting to hear Lee H on SEN say that Mansour is unlikely to be coming.

So does that mean he is coming

Hope not

Okay @avocadoontoast we are looking a lot worse for next year now ? maybe we can win our first spoon! Bottom 4 minimum at this point

I was actually going to bump our conversation from earlier but I thought it would have been in poor taste lol

This club never fails to break my spirit, then give me hope, then break my spirit and so on.

Doogies admin is just a figurehead for the decision makers behind the scenes. Revolving door at the whim of a constant power struggle.

They'll end up back at square one trying to balance the cap in a few years

He would have been handy after we roll over and release Aloiai

A Bex and a good lie down would be better than a dead Polar Bear. 🙂

Also a little nugget left by Lee when discussing Mansour, he said words to the effect of " we are already well stocked for outside backs and we should have some good news as well in the next week".

I got the impression that was probably about Roberts...but I could be wrong.


I thought the timeframe was a little short to be Roberts. I think if Roberts comes it wont be next week.

He would have been cheap-anything would better than going back to beach hauling sea mullet at Hat Head.
