Um yeah I don't see it happening. They're spending close to $2 million on their front row and their CEO is out on TV this morning saying the lack of a FB was the reason they can afford them. On the other side Tedesco has shown no indication about wanting to go.
I put this down to a combination of over excited Dogs fans and the perception that anyone on the Dogs radar can't wait to sign a contract to join them…
I look forward to next week when Sue is off to the Roosters or Nofa is joining the Storm...

Well they look like offloading them, if not Eastwood most definately T-Rex:
**Dogs set to offload big boys**
The Bulldogs are prepared to offload big boppers Tony Williams and Sam Kasiano next year to fit new signings Andrew Fifita and Michael Lichaa under the salary cap. The club spent plenty attracting the two stars - and have some culling to do as a result. Williams still has two years to go of a massive contract but has been a major disappointment and the Bulldogs are attempting to cut their losses. **They have even told rival clubs they will pay a substantial percent of Williams' contract to move him on.** Kasiano is off contract next year and while, on his day, he is one of the most damaging forwards in the game, his career has been plagued by injury. Hooker and captain Michael Ennis is also off contract and currently negotiating his future.

I stand by it :slight_smile: If he remains injury free and keeps developing he is going to go a very long way.
He must be priority number 1 to get to sign a new contract.

Pretty sure he'll stay. He seems a decent kid, he's a Tiger junior, we showed a lot of faith in promoting him to FB two years ago when he was still eligible to play Toyota Cup and even more faith in slotting him right back in after we'd helped him with his knee reco. Today's result was built on the back of a bunch of very young players outplaying significantly older, more decorated ones so the argument he has no one around him of his talent is a null one IMO.

Tigers have stuck by Tedesco through some tough times. Pray he feels a commitment to the club. He will be chased by clubs

He will stay. He loves playing for the club and with his mates. This club hasnt lost too many players over the years that it wanted to keep. Last one would be Teo.
What annoys me about Teddy is how every commentator says he has had such a bad run with injuries. He has had one injury. Sure a nasty one, but one that happens to a lot of young players. They make it sound like he has missed three of four seasons with injuries.

Start of last year, he looked in trouble every time he got in a tackle.
That tackle today was scary.

Tigergirlz in 2011 he played SG Ball and NYC. No injuries that year. 2012 played first grade and did his ACL in first game. 2013 no major injuries.
He may had a few injuries prior to SG Ball but dont think you can count that.
Ironically he has had few injuries. Brooks and Moses have had more injuries than Teddy had.

I have also heard from a very good Parramatta friend that they have now thrown their hat in the ring as we'll for Tedesco.
Why are you having a go at Irvine ? His question was why hasn't, Mayer resigned Tedesco… a reasonable question.
And a question Mayer has not answered.
There was ample opportunity to resign Tedesco in the off season.
Why didn't it happen ?

We would be throwing the white flag up if we don't sign Tedesco. Exactly what the club needs. I am confident we will sign him.

Why the hell would Parramatta want/need Tedesco when they have Hayne and Hopoate there? There are a few clubs that could definitely use him, North QLD, Bulldogs … and US. We need him. We've got nobody else and why would we want anybody else. We can't lose him. It'd be worse than losing Fifita because Fifita didn't look like a world beater when he left.

Geez i was worried when he went down today
What m i saying….. I'm always worried when Teddy stays down.
Real asset to our team
Anyone can play Fullback but not all have the same courage.

I said this in another thread but if reports from Belmore are true on what they're paying their players, they will have no cap room to offer Tedesco anything worth considering.
The 2015 cap is $6.55 million, so if it's true that Fifita is on $850k, Graham on $700k, Williams on $600k, Pritchard on $500k, that's 40% of the cap gone in four players - and that's not even considering other rep players like Morris, Reynolds, Kasiano and the rumors of offering Lichaa $300k a year. I understand that contracts can be front/back ended so these figures may not reflect what will be lodged under the 2015 cap, but there's some seriously creative accounting going on…
Surely the Tigers can clearly see we've got a LOCAL superstar on our hands... We've finally got a strong and stable 1 and 7 for the first time since Hodgo/Prince.

Bulldogs will let a few players go, having said this….
Barring a major "Break the Bank" play. it is my educated opinion that Teddy will be a Tiger for life.
