Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Mahoney, Kikau, Sutton, Pele, Burton, JAC, TPJ and Moses would struggle to hit $6m max for them.

800k, 850k, 550k, 250k, 1mil, 700k, 900k, 1.2 mil puts them over 6 million for that bunch alone. Half the cap at least on a handful of players.

Suddenly a 2023 release isn't so unlikely. Whether that be us or the dogs.

That was my first thought too, he might have just triggered an early release if this is true, and no way Dogs fit Moses in for 2023, 2024 maybe

 

[balmain boy]

See how GUS does it, 1 by 1 Bulldogs are now releasing players to fit the new players and there will be more

We've been doing the same thing. Released a heap of trash this off season.
Allan being on over 500k though, and they'd still be paying a fair chunk of his salary next season.

That’s our only hope. Although Parra are highly unlikely to do us or anyone else any favours.

Sure they might be on those figures with 3rd Party deals but it's not the cap holds.
Bulldogs do have plenty of cash to spend.

Wouldn't be a favour, would be making the best of a bad situation. Keep a player who's fed up with you and risk agitation amongst the playing group or release him early for compensation. A position we've unfortunately found ourselves in too often.

Relevance ? Any opinion on Mitch?

Can't stand him and he should beg to come back on a train and trial contract.

Yea i read somewhere a few weeks ago they were offering to pay at least 50% of his contract - no takers at the time so who knows how much they will carry now.

 

[Hmm]

Ok guys if the toss of the coin doesn't go our way, who should the club invest time into recruiting for the halves for '24 with our bag of cash?

George Williams, Jack Wighton or Dylan Brown OR the best of Laurie/Doeuihi and go all out for RTS or Jack Welsby as fullback.

Williams had a couple decent games for England, if you watch the super league he was one of the worst halves in that comp and his team had some big name players, he’s not what we need going forward.

Easts won't pay much, or should I say it won't register much on the cap

Wighton is no better than AD. He's a bit quicker but doesn't have the long ball or spiral bomb in his arsenal

Are you having a lend.

 

[tigerman 0]

Wighton is no better than AD. He's a bit quicker but doesn't have the long ball or spiral bomb in his arsenal

Um, Jack is about a 473 times better defender than AD

 

[InBenjiWeTrust]

I know what you mean, at least this time we have Api, Papi, Klemmer and Bateman to look forward too

Is Bateman's signing confirmed?

 

[Odessa]

Um, Jack is about a 473 times better defender than AD

tigerman just curious how did you come to that number it's very specific did you watch old tape ?

 

[Jolls]

Because the Wests Tigers are perennial loosers and we are talking about dumping AD who is MM mate already

Really? Isn't our current no. 7 his mate and one of the reasons he is supposed to be coming to us? Is that what MM has stated to his family or conjecture?

 

[earl]

Hundred percent as someone in their early 20's couldn't give a rats about the merger either.

I'm pretty close to 50 and I couldn't give a stuff. I wonder why this nonsense keeps coming up.

 

[426Tlgerland]

Bateman no confirmed from last report I read
Woods not coming hear says it was all made up rumours
Moses , club probably have a go at him but do not think he comes I think he stays at slugs
AD. Starts year at 5/8. And signs on later in the year with Tigers
Pappi , Appi , Klemmer all have good years and breath life back into Tigers
Pole , Blore both have great seasons

 

[Savvy]

I’ve ignored 10 people, and god my forum experience is so much better….. cheers for any intel and views with a positive outlook. Go the Tiges
