Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

A few whispers we are looking at Simmonson from the Raiders also…..

They'd be garbage I'd reckon....
It's Cotric to us - Or Cotric to Canberra - Then Simmondson to Parra... They been on him for a while.
If Cotric comes to us, Then I can't see raiders letting Simmondson out.

Yeah agreed. Mr sheens though loves to think outside the box

**After consideration, Melbourne felt the money being asked for Thompson was excessive and rejected the offer**.

Melbourne are astute.

We should be learning firm these more settled and successful clubs.

We rejected Thompson before they did?

Have we rejected Thompson?
I think we need a forward upgrade, unsure if this is the best match but stocks are low at the moment.
Though perhaps the Eels are a better source to raid.

Some sources say we’re still going for him some day we’re not trying to go for him anymore so who knows

With Thompson still on their roster the pressure builds. It could be a masterful tactic to get Thomspon at a more reasonable price.

My concern about Thompson would be how the game is going to be ref’ed in 2022. Are the referees going to send players to the bin for minor infringements? If so he plays to the limits. I’d have this concern about JWH as well, but he didn’t get sent off much in 2021

1 Bloke out of a 20 Years and 250 odd players that plays on the edge certainly won't kill us....
1 Bloke in a 30 man roster that plays on the edge Could just make our season

A few months ago we reportedly turned down a potential deal to take Thompson on. Same as the Storm - price wasn't right.

I don't think that Thompson is worth the money he is asking for and in particular putting the existing players like Stefano, Blore, Twal etc offside by paying him way overs.

We won't be paying overs. Dogs would chip in 25%-35%. If we can pay 500k a season then that's reasonable to me.

The Forgotton Man on Facebook has posted that’ll he have updates about both Cotric and Thompson later today possibly tonight so see what he says I know he’s not the most reliable but he was right about Api and he posted that the day before it was announced

 

[Love_the_WestsTigers]

Why don’t we have a go at Nelson Asofa-Solomona as I’m reading that the Storm may have to release him and he may have to leave VIC and can’t go to QLD. We signed Api and to my understand he is an anti-vaxxer.

That guy is a tank and a half, id run for dear life if he ran towards me

Its like Ali's NRL rumours, used to hype up everyone and provide an update later in the night.
Maybe took all day to type the post

 

[balmain boy]

Can't see how the Dogs could release Thompson on 850k, while still paying 250-350k of his salary, and then try sign Paulo who's already got offers around 800k. Especially when they're already essentially over the cap for 2023 - even if they filled all remaining spots on minimum wage they'd apparently be over. lol what a mess.

If it’s the same guy that’s “Insidemannrl” on twitter his Canterbury gossip is reasonably good (put certainly not perfect).

He'll update once he's read this and the Cotric thread.

Two anti vaxers in a team reduces the squad to 28 when playing interstate if restrictions are still in place and who knows what will happen later in the year if the final series is played in Brisbane or Melbourne due to restriction

I reckon Api has said he’ll get vaxxed or possibly already is, if it’s a choice between $650k or considerably less if he doesn’t. Which I would have to think we would have insisted of a clause in the contract, I reckon he gets jabbed.

Rumour is that Api has vaccinated.

I’ve heard he had only had 1 jab
