Young players with loads of talent, can’t miss out on another good young player

Wests Tigers are 3rd for offloads with 187. What we do with them is another matter.

Dufty
JAC
Naden
TPJ
Vaughan
I’d happily take any of them haha.

Dogs are getting Vaughan for $350000 cause no other club wants him

Fair enough,he is stupid but his numbers are still better than most of our fowards

Announcement will be made this week



But with who ?

Dogs have a meeting with TPJ manager today if dogs agree to pay a little extra than what they have offered he will sign this week with them. Tigers will be the last resort. They like what the dogs are building with the signing of JAC Burton Dufty Vaughan

Heard on 2GB yesterday dogs have offered 2.1 over 3 seasons and we have offered 2.2 over 3 seasons. Does that sound about right?

We offload 5m from our line than drop it and opposition scores

After the laundy hotels people started at the dogs i don't think they have missed a big signing.

I think they are rorting the cap and still coming last HAHA

The dog's will have plenty of TPAs

Only the dog's and the player will know about them

The NRL won't anything about them

Brown paper bags only catch the club out of the player dobs himself in

And knowing the intelligence of NRL players that's actually going to happen one day

The internal fighting apparently going on will put pay to that
It's very damaging


What internal fighting exactly?

Nothing
It's all a bed of roses
How about Nofoaluma’s post for starters
Dragging some of his team mates through the mud
Reports a few weeks ago about Tamou not being happy with what Madge was trying to do

Now apparently media reports that Madge has 6 weeks to change our fortunes to save his job
How he can't attract players
How our club has regressed

Now Sheens is coming back and Madge apparently is questioning why as he has had success as a coach so why bring Sheens in to over see our operations

Wether it's all true or not this crap in the media is very damaging to our club
The perception to prospective future signings would be having ramifications on us being able to sign players to our club
It was hard before and it certainly is not getting any easier

When Nofoaluma points the finger at other players in our team you know things are not a bed of roses

Similar to when a journalist makes a up story and another journalist says "Where there is smoke, there is fire"

Does he?
 
With the rumblings around Maguires future now, whether they are valid or not, the likelihood of us signing players with options is even more hampered.Doubt whether player managers will steer their top tier clients to unsettled environments especially around the coach - so may very well of have shot ourselves in the foot again with this one.

I'm hearing the opposite as to TPJ's preference however I'm not fussed either way.

Doesn't really matter what his manager wants tbf. If the $$ are close it's down to who the player wants to play for in the end. The manager can push the player in a certain direction however the player isn't just going to sign with a club because the manager says he has to.

I think the managers have a big influence on where they end up - they negotiate the deals they certainly have the power to swing it the way they want. Since the Laundy's have become involved with the Bulldogs have they missed out on any player they have gone for?


Perhaps not but the dogs are still anchored to the spoon and will more than likely go back to back with it

I think they are building nicely next year - unfortunately. If they get Vaughn and TPJ that gives them plenty to work with.

Yep, dogs will be a heap better next year and will be the same old heap of ?.
 
Biggest winner out of all of this looks to be TPJ and his manager.

Sounds like he is playing Bulldogs and Tigers against each other, telling both teams that they are his preference. In reality I doubt TPJ cares too much and is just keen for a pay day.

For the record, I don't really mind either way if we land him or not. At his best he is worth it but his best isn't very often. Definitely a risky signing for either club.

Interesting.

My take on it, from zero inside-info - whenever our negotiations take this long, I feel the player is waiting for a better option elsewhere.
