You got some DEI going on?

DEI = Didnt Earn It

This option doesnt count in this thread

Players are simply paper trading cards in this thread. Straight swaps...back of a napkin trade conditions and salary calcs and Robert's your fathers brother.

Well guess what buddy ….there are rumours Plan A is walking out the door…so they are going to need to do something in the meantime !

I’ve named two short term options … Tracey if Bula joins the Dogs…or Drinkwater preferably but that might take a 3 year deal you would assume

But mate, we hold the cards. In what world would we trade Tracey for bula? Are we the bulldogs little whipping boys? Make him see out 2027 and hunt for another fullback. It buys us another 12-18 months

Strategy - find a player listed as Wing/Fullback and proceed to tell everyone how he'd make a good prop @ the tigers.

If Bula was leaving anyway so that we avoid a $900k per year long term contract and Tracey was on $350k per (which I believe he is) I could see us doing the “swap”. Tracey offers good backline depth (centre, wing, fullback) so even if we got him for two (or three) years it wouldn’t be blocking Attard or Brookes (the money is not high enough). Tracey’s versatility would still mean he could have a role elsewhere or on the 6 man bench for the remainder of his contract.

Sorry Wiz, I hate it. We don't need another utility, we need a fullback who can compliment our spine and take us deep in the semi finals. Tracy doesnt do that. Attard is no where near ready. Unless we have another 900k fullback to replace him with, then we suck it up and pay Bula - because hes a better option than Tracy.

We’ll see what happens if Isaac puts his foot down …. what’s his record so far against the Tigers …5-0?

Bula can sign with the Bulldogs Nov 1 this year for 2028…. Do you think we will get our $900k value out of him on 2027 if that happens ?

Benji needs volunteers …not hostages

Chevy Stewart still isn't getting a start in the NRL.

There's a fullback replacement for ya.

They're certainly out there.
Seen Skelton spoken about like he's irreplaceable here,
There's a few wingers in NSW / QCup I'd gladly swap him for.

I think it comes down to the character of the individual. I think bula has far more class than any of those other wankers

Skelton is only contracted for this year.
He's became 1 of the boys it seems.

What cup wingers you like currently?

We need some depth in the backs ( as usual )
