Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Is Christian Welch off contract? Gun player

Yep off contract

Sign him up Madge

I think we were looking at him a year or so back but he suffered a bad injury and it didn't proceed

Gun is a bit of a stretch

Solid

He’s an origin level forward better than what we’ve got. Would go great starting with Aloiai

Played 1 Origin game ?
I think he’d succumb to mediocrity with us .

Only missed due to injury... don’t think his game changes if he came to us, he’s a simple player run hard tackle hard and does some link up play too. Good player all around

He a solid player and pretty much on par with what we already have imo

We need better .

We're not allowed to sign better. We replace outgoing players with someone of similar ability.

It's written in the clubs By-Laws, directly under the section titled 'Must finish 9th'...

Camroux has decent size and speed and is a goal kicking 5/8. What's not to like? He's on a development contract next season, as is Rizk is my understanding.

Foran for 300k on a one year or 250k for 2 years and have benji retire is acceptable. Wouldn't pay more than that, body is too risky

Foran was the dogs best today, created plenty of chances, he digs in to the line all the time

Well the current season cut off is Monday so it seems likely we stick with what we got ..... sigh! Another 400 pages of suggestions to go.

Foran's old man is on a packet.
Might get some tpas with Walmart

He’s CEO of Air NZ now

Ahk. Maybe a private tigers jet ??

He doesn’t play like a bloke who’s dealt with injuries for years. Like you said he digs really far into the line and puts his body on the long. Still think he’s a good half

Time to focus on footy I guess. That’ll be made easier if we just don’t lose anymore games this year 😅

From what I have read he seems pretty keen to stick it out at the Dogs and the Dogs seem pretty keen for him to stay. As always we will be used to force his contract value up, with zero chance of signing with us

He is good value if someone gets him close to 300k.
He has a few years in him still.

Have watched a few Bulldogs games this year and when he is playing they are a vastly different team without him. He competes in everything & barks orders all the time whilst steering the team across the park in defense and attack.

given his last contract, I doubt Foran will be chasing money. you'd have to think Newcastle would be the frontrunner, but I know injury free I'd definitely have him here.

Alex McKinnon (knights recruitment manager) said on Twitter they are definitely not signing him

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Kurt Mann has been one of their best this season. Wouldn’t make sense for them to be chasing Foran.

 

[ElleryHanley]

Re Foran...he is light years better than our halves.

Dogs have been terrible for ages, but he has kept them competitive. He is complete class...

He would be the type of player who could be a leader and get us to the top 6.....he is that good***


*** Or...his body could break down round one and miss 15 rounds.

 

[tigerbenji]

The more I watch Foran the more I think he could be good for us, but is going to cost us a lot more then $400,000.

 

[hobbo1]

Signing Foran would be a deadset disaster
He’s one injury away from a nursing home ..
We ain’t that desperate.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

The amount you pay for him would allow the purchase of a young x factor player the calibre of Ponga. We need to target an outstanding talent such as the young NZ player all clubs were chasing when 16 who is now at the Roosters.

 

[Needaname]

Who is that?

Foran isn't going to help us win a premiership or get us closer to the 8. He's been playing in a similar team to us with the dogs and hasn't been able to get them close. Forget him and let's look abit harder.
