Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Lukic]

Rep level player in his prime for a deal that's expensive, but not back-breaking. Crichton's a no-brainer.

Crichton and Papali'i would be the best pair of edge backrowers in the league. With the addition of Koroisau and the continued development of our current players, including the younger players and those entering/in their primes, we'd have one of the better packs in the league if healthy. It will be especially the case with Hastings leading them around the park.

Please no Josh Jackson, he's bulldogs faithful and I assure you they want to move him on badly.

He's cooked poor old Josh.

Any news mate?

Sorry mate, nothing new.

NRL are missing James Roberts, i realise he was on a Train and Trial to start the pre season but assumed as he has played a few games he was upgraded to an NRL contract as before round 10 you couldn't be selected without an exemption.

Yes it is missing JTJ, I didn't look at names when I counted them on the NRL tracker, would be helpful if they matched. 👍

 

[weststigers]

No way. Dogs supporters would love us to take him. Always take the ones they don't want to lose.

Naden was simply just a necessity. No Centres.

Every signing can be good at the right price. We are going to get injuries and NRL standard depth is needed…rarely is that considered in signings discussions.

Not many teams get the balance right. Under the cap system, the more NRL standard budget priced players you have the more you can pay for elite players

Please give me a long leash, I may be showing my age, but I often look back with fond memories of when this task was actually carried out by the coach.

You need mentors on the field too

I hope the tigers have given Angus a dead line , because if it drags out , u know what we end up with , NOTHING

 

[Lee's fedora]

Agree I think he would be a great fit...
Do you have any update on him and if the offer has been done?

Nothing new still early days

If you played at all, And you didn't learn anything from your senior players at the time....
Might be why you're here with us - Just talking shit about Footy.

 

[hsvjones]

Anyone know what happened about the Raiders players been on the market and approaching us ? Thats gone quite the last few weeks

 

[Kelce68]

Maybe we give the roosters O'Kane and Kautoga for Chricton.

Or, we keep them both and simply poach Crichton from them.

That's why you give him a deal he can't refuse

 

[BAGNF05]

So we loose Hoffman early on in his contract year, wait half a year for Bulldogs to pay a portion of Nadens salary then sign him up in the vacant spot still keeping squad spot 30 available.
Pretty good business.

As long as business isn’t winning footy games

Any legs to the suggestion that Burto might want to follow Naden to WT?

Unhappy with Trent’s demise is the whisper.

My first thought: yes.

 

[BAGNF05]

Does offering Crichton 700k a season fall into the same category as trying to get Dale Finucane for similar last year?

You’d rather be in the trenches with Dale

 

[Nelson]

Probably unhappy with a bunch of things but I doubt he sees us as the answer to his problems.

Wouldn't rule it out. Good friends with Naden, Laurie and Blore apparently.
