Four year deals offered to both Tedesco and Woods

[KLil]

Graham always makes more meters, more tackles has more impact than Tolman every day of the week .... sorry Tolman never had any impact so silly to compare it with Graham, lol

even at 32 Graham is more valuable than tolman at 28.

they way tolman is going he will be lucky to be playing beyond the age of 30.

Tolman is more consistant, less injury prone and less likely to be suspended.

Still need Foran or Cronk

Rubbish. Realistically we will never get all three and just teddy alone would be a better, more sensible investment for us. Cronk will retire. Foran doesn't deserve to wear our colours. If Melbourne want to give him a chance to wear that purple atrocity they call a jersey, more fool them.

 

[Flanagun]

so teddy/woods / foran?
i guess we are going to lose grub and let go of lichaa and hoppa

Haha Foran isn't gonna happen I don't think. Thankfully!

 

[COVENS]

Cmon bro tolman aint that bad and if anything his just under the quality of Graham. Trex was taumalolo when we signed him.. what happened to him is a fukn mystery.

Tolman also wouldn't be on Grahams money. He's a strong worker, that's all we need him to be

Just read that the Dogs have offered Woods $1m a year for 4 years while the Tigers offered him 850k a year for 3 years.

There is figures out there that Jackson and Klemmer signed on for 600k a year for 4 years and we also threw 850k a year at Fifita.

Taumalolo is on $1m a year.

If all these figures were/are "true" how can Woods be worth more than the majority of the names mentioned?

 

[Realist90]

Can everyone please have a look at tony Williams' last season at the eagles before coming over. He was having a shocking year and then that's when all of us including media saying he needs to back under des to get back to his best. But that never happened. Whatever happened to tony it happened whilst at the eagles. Maybe he just doesn't give a fuk anymore and just wanted the money.

Wtffff this shit better not be true. Woods is worth 450k maximum and to say he's worth $1mil a season? The same as taumololo? Taumololo ripped woods a new hole the other night. The worst part is woods himself acts like he's actually worth that.

He was always an inconsistent player anyway. Foran used to get the best out of him apparently, but it's not like his best was ever 100 percent....and yes while it was always inconsistent, his firm did take a plunge before he even signed with us.

What's with all the comparisons to Taumololo? He was never even close to JT's league

The comparisons are with taumololo and woods. Woods, some people here and the media seem to believe himself worth close to a mil a year. Which is the money for a dally m medal winner taumololo who also brushed Aron woods aside to score a try which made woods look like a wittle bitch

 

[KLil]

He was the most damaging player at the time the dogs signed him hence the jt comparison. He wasnt lagging or out of form or shit when we signed him he was just suspended and injured alot. He even played origin wihtout playing any club games.

 

[R0CKY]

Apparently its been tabled and will be looked at this week. Within the next fortnight a decision will be made

Well prepare for the breakdown when tedesco and woods are re-signed.

 

[R0CKY]

There was no emotion from Woods after the win against cowboys..seems like he doesnt care but we will see

 

[Kelpie03]

Based on the last 2 games woods has run for 314 meters with a total of 54 tackles. On Friday alone graham made 56 and has run for 398m with 98 tackles for the past fortnight.

If we need to pay another club to take graham it may be one of the dumbest things the club has ever done. Not only do you pay to strengthen another team but you lose your leader. This week should tell us if graham is past it or not. If he fires up against burgers and gets us across the line for a win then it's a dumb decision to get rid of him. If he fizzles out and the burgers get one up on him then it's a fair call.

Either way woods won't be a graham replacment. He is a poor mans tolman with hair and an offload. Unless under dasler and behind our pack with our state of the art facilities he can lift another gear (maybe klemmer can fire him up so they can be smash brothers). It seems to me to be a silly signing (especially with keeping tolman long term recently re-signing Eastwood and with other props around the team like klem and kas. We will be very very forward heavy. And there are only 2 props at the field at a time (unless dasler can reinvent the game).

Des has reinvented the wheel but its a square one,

 

[Kelpie03]

I am definitely not considering this year as a right off!! Im pretty confident we can pull it together. Always have been. The emergence of frawley only reinforces this.
I think the manly game was just a bad day. We simply didnt turn up, and manly played by far their best game of the year!!!

Having seen what des has done over the years he very probably wont play frawley at half his ego wont let him.

All this talk that T-Rex was some sort of gun when we signed him that just withered away in time like a wang after blowing....
No, just no.

I have a sharp memory and I remember clearly the fans up in arms when T-Rex was signed at a purported 600k figure (Remember the cap at the time) when he was a player that was very very rocks and diamonds.
It was reported that Des lured him to get the best out of him.

T. rex Didn't go downhill he just stayed at what he was. It was an optical illusion,
Every man and he dog expected him to lift with us but he played the same lazy islander game he always did, whilst cute at manly when young and full of optimism ahead it grew tiresome when he was with us and didn't improve. Hes just not a capable player.

And the funny thing is the fans know this. I remember the uproar.
I think time has softened things and dogs fans just remember a player with potential that just got repackaged as lazy once the contract ended.

So we will be getting Dugan and this is a Des smoke screen ?

Cant wait for this to be done with. Regardless of whether we sign all of them or none of them, i just want it done with!!

No, just no.
Your so called sharp memory eludes you. Dorothy was killing it when we signed him.
