Tuimoala Lolohea Signs with WT

@ said:
Hoppy is on 650 to 750 according to a player agent I know

He's on 150k. Paid out 500k by Parra in a court settlement. Dogs are not paying someone who doesn't play Sundays that sort of money.

It looks like he's open to playing on Sundays judging by this article http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/canterbury-bulldogs/will-hopoate-praying-for-new-nosundays-deal-with-canterbury-bulldogs-20170503-gvyck2.html

I am not sold on Lolohea. Would like to know what we are paying him. Should consider Nicoll-Klokstad if available on similar money, and Stargroth Amean as a cheap depth signing.

I love it when fans say "I don't like player A, we should sign player B even though he may not be available and if he is I have no idea how much money he'd cost or player C who has never played first grade".

It's like me saying yeah I don't really like Toyotas so I'm going to get a Porsche or a magical flying unicorn.

Or when someone is outraged when we sign a reserve grader. Unfortunately we can't have 17 Tedesco's in the team. Plus every team signs low calibre talent because you have to with how the cap works.
 
…. but aren't we rugby league experts on this forum?

I just hope Cleary logs on regularly to get up to speed with who we should be signing.
 
He really wasn't that bad. Missed a tackle in Kikau one on one right on the try line when his second rower failed to slide over and left him completely isolated against a monster of a player. Can't really be blamed much for that. Any little guy would be beaten 99% of the time in that situation.

His kicking game was ok, he ran the ball and threw a couple of decent passes. His goal kicking wasn't crash hot but they were also from the sidelines. Considering his morale would be rock bottom right now, h'ed be rusty and out of sorts, and then he was playing with a bunch of guys he'd never played with before and had no combinations with.

Definite room for improvement but certainly no worse than any of Moses' games so far this season.

Maybe the other is Parramatta.
Parramatta havnt anounst Moses signing yet . Maybe contract was reliant on this year . Moses has asked several times for a release.
Just a dark thought.
 
Parra don't need him next year. Could be Newie that also want him this season. Canberra and Cowboys were the other clubs i think from memory but wanted to play him as a winger.
 
I would be surprised if he had not already signed, no inside info, but I get the feeling we are into the cooling off period
 
Take it for what it is worth. Not sure what its worth myself.

I've heard we have already signed him and Guerra.
Going after Holland, and all out for Packer.

Hope it is right.
