Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Finally got some crumbs re. Doueihi's contract talks. So Dragon's offer is still at $400k for 2 seasons (not $500k as some reported). Our Offer is now at $350k for 2 seasons. If Doueihi extends with us, then he doesn't have to pay Moses commission. If he goes with Dragons then he pays Moses 8% commission, which is $32k, ostensibly making his salary $368k per year at the Dragons. For the sake of $18k, I think he stays. Probably could get a third party to cover that anyway as a local junior... My only concern is if he gets offended by Richo refusing to budge on the price.
It would be worth giving him the extra $18k if we definitely knew Moses was getting nothing. 🤣
 
I agree they made a lot of errors.
The funny thing is that you’ll see good teams winning because the other teams make more errors all the time and it’s attributed to them forcing those errors.
Not when we win though.
Those conditions were pretty atrocious. You can’t use that game to judge much at all - obviously the game meant a fair bit to a playing group that’s had some rough luck and circumstances this year. Hope they can stay up for a few more weeks.
 
The one year contract is probably a mutual thing. With Perth needing to fill a roster it gives Geyer a chance to maybe showcase his talents and get something bigger than a minimum contract. Didn’t Geyer senior play for the Western Reds??
Yes he did and has often spoken about how much he enjoyed the involvement he had with the club at that time.
 
Both are big, tall, strong and fast, everything you generally want in an edge back rower.
The issue is neither of them use their size and speed to advantage.
If we have the coaching staff to change their mindset and get them playing with good energy and aggression we will have very good players on our hands, but the fact that their current clubs were not able to get it out of them is a concern.
It obviously means we are not looking at established versatile edge back rowers such as Siosifa Talakai or Simi Sasagi, so we are relying on these lower cost project players to play to their maximum potential and challenge for a position in our NRL 17.
Roberts absolutely destroyed our Flegg team about 5-6 weeks ago, so he’s got plenty of talent, but he doesn’t always seem to get out of 1st gear.

Assume we extend Doueihi & TayMay... That's 29 but release Sullivan back to 28...

Awaiting 2 to fall from the tree! Hoping one is a big middle!
Andrews is top 30 next year, not dev, is he not? Nothing from his announcement or anywhere else says dev contract.

Youre also counting Roberts but not Mav Geyer... so you should probably scratch those hopes of two falling out of a tree 😂

However, absolutely nowhere has reported Kit being signed for 2026. He is also listed on nrl.com as being off contract at the end of this year.

Andrews I believe is dev next year. No clarity in the press release, it's an assumption.

I am unsure what you mean, there is 27 confirmed.

@BlackWhiteGold, I think stated Kit was here for next year.

Happy to be corrected.
