Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[SeanT]

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

That is why no one will remember you. (Troy) haha

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

Rumour is that Api has vaccinated.

I’ve heard he had only had 1 jab

They talk about Koroisau signing and Sheens impact from 21:50 onwards... Finchy has some good things to say

 

[isaaktigers]

Paulo would be good, but Thompson and Cotric will overall make our squad even across the park.

Finchy seems like a mess these days.. from sky high to this.

UPDATE ON COTRIC AND THOMPSON!

I’ve been told Nick Cotric is as good as a done deal to the Wests Tigers, as the Roosters have ended discussions with him.

However, there may be a speed bump in the Luke Thompson pursuit.

The club started discussions with both Bulldogs and Thompson a couple of months ago, which was denied due to financial purposes.

Due to the Bulldogs latest signings, the Wests Tigers led by Tim Sheens (very big admirer of Thompson in his ESL days) re-entered discussions thinking the bulldogs would budge on there original offer however the club remains to sit strong on there original offer of only paying around 100k of his 800k salary - which has scared off a few clubs

The Wests Tigers are trying to catch there bluff as they know the Bullsogs are undergoing salary cap pressure as it’s reported they have 7 spots with 500k to spend in season 2023, but it’s all dependent on if either party budges on whether a deal gets done or not - unsure at this stage still pretty 50/50

Someone yesterday on here said Cotric would be announced today at the latest.

I’d be happy for the Wts to sign Cotric (with the Bulldogs contributing to his salary). Also would hope the Wts lock away Steph long term before signing anyone else on big $.
I’m not surprised the WTs aren’t willing to sign Thompson if the Bulldogs are only paying 100K of his salary.
Hopefully once Steph is locked up, we negotiate harder on Thompson or a Cowboy swap with Lucy or both.

I was very surprised on how quickly the Api deal was struck. It was probably going on a lot longer behind the scenes but with no leaks there wasn’t the usual speculation, whisperings ect.

There were whispers that we were talking to him only a week or two after it broke we were talking to Hodgson.

Wasn’t it the forgotten man that was going to eat his shoe if Latrell didn’t sign

Are they were quickly dismissed as him just jacking his price up and we weren’t interested. Been minimum information coming out around these things.

Well he probably had a nice meal.
