Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Very poor form from Kikau, Gus and Barrett.

Deliberate by Gus to try get him early no doubt - not that they have any money for him.

Shades of Auckland Blues Benji, not a good look for anyone involved

Well I’d be shall I say, a little annoyed if one of our players did this.

I wouldn't have minded us having a go at Kikau but only because I didn't think we were a chance of landing Papali'i, who I think is a much better option.
That's going to be an extremely top-heavy roster at the Bulldogs, with quite a few players that have problems with consistency and effort...

I would much rather Papali’i. Also how much did they pay, Read said he turned down the Cowboys who offered $800k a season for 4 years?

stoked the dogs got Kikau, another high risk player that will struggle being out of an elite system that will most likely fail on big dollars. we managed to sign the best back rower on the market not named Angus Crichton.

In all honesty the Bulldogs offer may have been the same as the Cowboys (still way overs imo) and wouldn't require the upheaval of moving to north queensland.

Yeah, but somehow because it's Ivan getting jammed, I'm ok with it. Pretty sure the bloke still has a negative karma balance.

Honestly the dogs cap must already be a total mess. The following are all reportedly on a minimum $500k with most closer to $700-$800k

JAC
Allen
Cotric
Thompson
Jackson
TPJ
Jackson
Kikau

8 players and not a single decent spine player amongst them taking up half the cap on their own. Just wow

We signed Cam Murray?

They signed Jackson twice? You forgot Flanagan, with Naden not too far behind in $.

Not "on the market" until 2026.

If the NRL , don’t investigate the dogs on there cap , then everyone else should just go out and sign whoever they like . This is a joke .

They will have to upgrade Burton as well. Gus I think said it himself

highlights how well our recent signing was handled

 

[Glenji95]

One of my mates was listening to SEN radio and apparently Jack Wighton was mentioned apparently Tigers are looking at him if true I think that would mean Luke Brooks and Jack Wighton swap
