Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I wonder if we are planing to go for Connor Watson with mbyes money

Perfect 14 for us if we release Mbye and Brooks. Covers halves, hooker, fullback and lock.

Connor Watson is on a healthy contract at the Knights. He's not worth the money. I have no doubt we can find a 14 from the lower grades. It's a perfect development opportunity to play a young player from the interchange while learning in the NRL.

At 25 Watson is a terrific option imo. Great Mbye replacement and would offer us a ton whether starting or off the bench.

Releasing Brooks makes no sense at all. We are FINALLY going to be free of the big money deals for Packer, BJ and partially Mbye. That leaves us with plenty to spend and there aren’t any elite players left to spend it on. What’s the point of having a bigger war chest right now?

I really hope it’s just paper talk.

So this appears to be turning into a signings & suggestions thread for the Bulldogs - have we actually signed anyone yet??

It’s fake mate - read the caption https://www.instagram.com/p/CRqcYA2M9Ex/?utm_medium=copy_link

Lol fake until it happens.

On another note, Gagai is returning to Newcastle next year.

Murray Taulagi could be a player to look at for 2022. Playing centre against the Storm - interested to see how he goes...

His defence is pretty bad so yeah he’ll fit right in

Kane Bradley gets his debut as well. We swapped him for Simpkins.

Why not Manu?

Why not Manu?

To play centre? What would you pay him? I’d go as night as 750 or 800

Centre is a position we desperately need a top line athlete to fill. $750k doesn't seem too unreasonable.

Hope Kane goes well.

To play centre? What would you pay him? I’d go as night as 750 or 800

Many teams would be prepared to pay that for him so there’s no chance he’d choose us, unless we offered him double that.

Worth it..

Does anyone know why TPJ didn't join the Dogs for the rest of this year? I can only assume there roster is full?

The thought seems to be that it’d be a massive waste of money for them to start paying him a salary now; their season is already ruined.

Agree, Madge has already stated he needs men not boys to get us out of out problems.
Cochise said we were ideally looking at 100 to 150 gamers, he currently sits on 96, so he fits our requirement.

if ever a player was worth $800K to Wests Tigers it would definitely be Manu.

Is he available or are we just wishful thinking?

Hope your joking . Up to $1.6K a year for Manu?

What is the love on here for Conner Watson. I really don’t think he is a great lock unless you have others dominating the middle. Imo if we were after someone of that mould we would be better served going for Lachlan lewis. At least he is a better defender

Don’t think we need either though

 

[ElleryHanley]

Re Connor Watson...he is all heart and energy...

But TONS of mistakes.

And I mean TONS...

Wrong options galore, poor passing, poor reads...but all heart and energy. We need the latter, but we already have tons of errors in us. Not sure if it would be a good decision to sign him.

No chance would I pay him that, but I’m saying that’s what it would take for him to come here
