Official Corey Allan signs 3 year deal with Bulldogs

[DogsOfWar1704]

He was asking 500k. Doesnt mean we paid that. I reckon we got him for around 400k

 

[Headmix]

Far cheaper? It was reported he was looking for 600k at one stage lol, currently on 330k at Souths. He's worth about 350k max, more and you're getting no real value and taking on more risk. He's basically in the Hoppa/Boyd type mould...

You think he’s on more than hoppa?

 

[Dogs79]

Contracted with Sths for 2021 so I’m assuming they chip in for 2021 if he has signed.

 

[Spoonman84]

I can guarantee it. He’s just a kid yet to hit he’s peak. He was let go by south’s so we didn’t have to tug a war him. We need these types of players. Rather than this obsession of buying super star DJs

I’m not so sure. He was looking for $500k now there’s no way of knowing if he got that but I don’t think he would be a bargain basement buy.

 

[rainman]

Hoppa and Allan would be a very close race.

That a bit racist

 

[GrogDog]

Good challenge for Avo. If the young fella wants the FB spot then this year is his to take it. Won't hurt him or us if we have 2 blokes proving they want the spot. I do remember being impressed with Allen last season. Modest price on FB allows a good amount to make a play for a top notch 9. Players earning their spots, crazy concept lol

 

[Mackdoggies]

Avo's future is at centre. Barrett is thinking this:

1. JAC / Allan
2. JAC / Allan
3. Cotric
4. Avo
5. DWZ / Okunbor / Meaney (battle of the duds)
6. Burton
7. Flanagan

All 3 of your options in number 5 are off contract. Why would they be in his plans?

Bargain basement no...but it’s a perfect time to buy these types of players... in two years he’ll be worth another 200k ... this is my point.

No. But I doubt he's "far cheaper". If he came for a couple 100k then no big deal, more than that and I'm not a that keen. Better ways to spend our money than throwing it all into our backline.

 

[nedloh50]

It's always good to have competition, and foolish to put all your faith in a youngster. So I don't think Allen is a bad signing no matter what. Just would be interested in seeing where they put Av. Nice position to be in though!

It's ok Princess the real Coach has got this.

 

[2144superman]

Decent stats over 10 games that he churned out for the Bunnies ...

He played 10 games this season filling in for the injured Latrell Mitchell.
___
His stats over those 10 games included five tries, six try assists, seven line breaks, 20 tackle breaks and 147 average running metres.

 

[oldpuppy]

Seems ok here pacewise.

Oh sweetie. Who told you about the princess thing? Love it. Tell me more

I’m not sure he’s really going to be with another $200k in a couple of years. It’s possible but he’s just a average player for mine. He’s not bad but not a stand out.

 

[cookieman909]

Well it may not be true. Didn’t channel 7 say we had signed Mccullogh to a 3 year deal earlier this year that sent this place into meltdown?

 

[Headmix]

I’m not sure he’s really going to be with another $200k in a couple of years. It’s possible but he’s just a average player for mine. He’s not bad but not a stand out.

Ok 100-150k... whatever. He’s already played in an origin series win. Perfect timing to buy him imo

 

[oldpuppy]

We need to stop signing players.
I still haven't picked my 2021 team.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

He was shit in SOO lol

He might have played an origin game but he is hardly a origin caliber player. He only got a run due to a mountain of injuries and lack of depth then had a shocker.
