AD is by no means slow for those saying that....

He's not slow at all. Not sure where that came from.

Madge looks to be breaking a cycle of over paying for talent due to the poor reputation of the club.Building a squad with the right cap allocations is more important than
Losing or signing any one player. If Madge gets it right when star players come off contract they will be adding to a finals team not taking on all the pressure to get us there.

We are dealing with the snowflake generation they don’t want challenge they want a career which is paid well and playing on a winning team. The CAP is unfairly distorted with rep payments which are at risk playing for a club perennially underachieving.

Players have left and whatever way it’s spun they are a strong group. The list is long Tedesco, Woods, Moses, Fifita, Teo, Matterson, Taupau, Marsters, JAC, Koribete, Nathan Brown. Look at the quality of replacements vs who we lose and it’s some bad reading. The issue is this is a 10 year trend.

I think this is the major factor - players don't want the pressure of being the marquee signing and prefer being in a squad where the expectation is not centred on them. Unless of course it is their last contract and then they become mercenaries.

Man we got some naysayers on here.

AD is slow.
Corey is a good #1
Reynolds is not a psycho.

Some wild claims this past few days.

So if Paul Crawley is on the money and we don’t sign AD, understanding that we are most likely to start with Corey at the back for 2020, does anybody know of a quality fullback that is either in reserves or whose contract is due? And who would you buy?

I know of Sean Meaney and Bubba Kennedy


If doueihi is to fail I would love Kennedy

Hardly a marquee full back.

Kennedy is 23 and physically not ready for first grade. Not sure why all the love. Has speed but red flag at that age being so slight.

Douhei has looked like a first grader since 2018.
Amazing skillet and gutsy as u can ask for.

Instead - on November 1st 2020 offer Tedesco $1.4M per season for 4 years, 2022 onwards, then pressure Roosters to release him early.

He's just turned 27, that would be close to his last deal at the age of 29, he'll want to make it a big one, and by then Roosters will probably be bored with him, they way they often get with their top players. **Bring Tedesco home, Benji-style**.

**And before you say "it cannot be done" - RTS.**

Ok i'll have a stab. It can't be done. Tedesco considers Bondi home. Haven't you heard? Apparently he was born in a little shack on Campbell Parade across from the beach. "the red white and bluesters was playing at the moment little Ted came into the world.

The Wests Tigers ventured to the Bulldogs spiritual home of Belmore Oval on Thursday morning for a prearranged opposed session against Canterbury-Bankstown.
But there was no sign of one-time Bulldogs favourite son Josh Reynolds – the Tigers utility who has landed in the headlines over the last 24 hours after a video was leaked onto social media.
Reynolds currently has a calf strain and was not due to take part in the pre-season hit out against Canterbury-Bankstown anyway.

But the Tigers have thrown plenty of support around the former NSW Origin five-eighth who played in two grand finals for the Bulldogs in 2012 and 2014 – adamant there is another side to the leaked video which showed Reynolds verbally abusing a woman.
It was Reynolds who initially approached the NRL’s Integrity Unit and NSW Police in late November of last year to report the video.
Whether Reynolds is cleared to play in round one will ultimately come down to a decision from NRL CEO Todd Greenberg.

The Tigers have designed the off-season contingency plan of having captain Moses Mbye and new recruit Billy Walters both training at dummy-half over the summer.

**On a positive note for Wests Tigers the club is inching closer to signing Canberra Raiders centre BJ Leilua on a three-year deal.
Leilua met Tigers coach Michael Maguire on Monday and his agent Paul Sutton has been negotiating with the Tigers for the past week.
The deal is expected to be finalised over the course of the weekend with Leilua to join younger brother Luciano at Concord for the next three seasons.
Negotiations also remain ongoing with South Sydney young gun Adam Doueihi, the Balmain junior who is seeking a four-year deal to join the Wests Tigers. **

I'll take Mbye over Lichaa Demps. Lichaa couldn't even land a contract this year.

Don't know much about Simpkin tbh mate. I'd honestly take my chances with Walters seeming he's already signed or go with Mbye. Mbye needs to start earning his $$.

We might have to promote the water boys into the top 30 the way we are going :smile:
