It appears our Club has become nothing more than a source of rumour and gossip for RL media… Talk about rock bottom

Two sides to that. It's hard sign players up when officially we don't have a coach which is obviously the clubs fault.
The other side is the club has been trying to get Brooks and Moses to sign for twelve months. I'm really thinking it's time to withdraw offers. At least be looking at a plan B.

We can only hope they have a plan B and I'm pretty sure they would.

But what that is, is anyones guess?
 
We can afford to lose one of our halves. We can even afford to lose Woods. We can't afford to lose Tedesco, he should be the priority.

Also, who offers the 4 highest paid players from 1 club all contracts? Something weird is going on here.

Plan B is keep on trying to make plan A work
 
On the field Plan A B C D F is to give it to Tedesco…

Plan E...mid field Bomb..

What makes anyone think there is a plan B off it...As Pascoe is keen on saying don't believe what you hear in the media like the Coach has our full backing just wait to hear from the Club...

What is interesting to me is are the Tigers really the source of more rumours / discussion than other clubs (for the results we get on-field) **or does it just seem that way because this forum is highly active and everything gets consolidated here?**
E.g. Knights were super-duper rock bottom last few years, but I don't recall a particularly large volume of gossip mongering about them.

Tigers on the other hand seem to catch fire in the media, for enough stuff like Farah, Simona and sacking the coach, but Farah has been gone from the club for 6 months and they are still referring to it. And now Woods says or does not say a few things and he's now got all this attention.

Yeah that thought crossed my mind.
This forum is a portal for every scrap of BS rumour and innuendo from the net, TV, radio and print… ... All funnelled into a narrow spout which is right here

Im desperate for a win... Even the losses are tiresome

We have one of the biggest (mostly latent) fanbases in the comp - Tigers scuttlebutt gets clicks.

Hooper is reporting on NRL Tonight that the Dogs have made a big offer for Tedesco.

And said on Sterlo last night the same about Woods :roll

Let's assume anyone who wants to sign Tedesco or Woods HAS to make a big offer, therefore anyone who makes any movement towards these two will by default be putting in a big offer.
 
I don't think the Dragons will agree to release Tedesco to the Dogs…
 
This is all pretty silly…........would all these rumours be happening if we were winning?

And given Brooks has pretty much done nothing since that very first appearance and Moses has gone backwards since the backend of last year and Brooks especially has been critised by commentators about his form, I just don't see anyone doing what we have done in the past and pay overs.

Woods, I can't see leaving unless a dump trunk full of cash turns up like that 1 mill a year rumour and Teddy knocked back the Raiders, why would they both go to the Dogs who appear to be a bit of a basket case themselves with their own coach up in the air?

The whole thing is getting ridiculous and all I can see going on is a manager trying to raise prices on 2 out of form players and bumping up the other 2.
 
PK reported all 4 have been shopped around to all clubs and none have come anywhere near what the WT are offering them…so if they leave us is for less $$$$ not more $$$$
 
Really though , who doesn't have a quality fullback bar Parra

NSW at this rate will name 5 fullbacks in their side

Tedesco
Hayne (possibly )
Trbojevic
Dugan
Moylan

Qld if fit would name 3 fullbacks

Slater
Inglis
Boyd

That's leaves Coote ,RTS ,Michael Gordon ,Wighton ,Hopoate ,Valentine Holmes ,Bevan French ,Ponga (2018 Newcastle )

That's a bloody good list bar maybe French and Coote to a lesser extent

Apparently Dragons want Dugan at centre to save money.

Dragons, Dogs, Rabbits and Titans will be in the market for Ted's services.

Gordon is only on a 1 year deal at the Rorters,,,Robbo wouldn't take Taylor back this year but didn't completely close the door….. :astonished:
 
My mind goes back to about February, when the coach at the time (his name alludes me at present ) and the not so big 4 all made quotes saying they would not let all the contract stuff be a distraction for them all the club…..have a guess what "Pigs might fly also"

Okay not entirely anyone fault, but the media certainly know where to come on a slow news day. Anyway I am now at the stage I would not care if they all decided to pull the pin, the club will be still here and to be frank probably doing a little better..could not do much worse!!!

No other team has the available salary cap space that the WTs do .

A great position for a new coach with a high profile to come in to .
 
Spare a thought for the Bulldogs unofficial forum - they have almost as many seperate threads about the four amigos as here.
The poor dragons could only muster a Tedesco thread, but the milk went bad as it was within 48hrs that he was meant to sign.
