Recruitment Options Becoming Available

[Reecek89]

I’d pay Haas 1.2 any day. One Hass is worth our whole prop rotation lol

 

[John Matrix]

We only pay overs for rubbish players. When it’s quality players we don’t play that game.
Smart- like a fox!

nailed it

Broncos are gonna have to pay Haas 1.2m to KEEP him. A low placed Sydney club will have to pay 1.5m, if not more.

 

[Dogmonster]

If Gus is as good as we think he is, he should be able to sign good players that are in contracts that aren't on the crappy available player lists.

 

[D0GMATIC]

Not sure why anyone is pushing for cogger, but then again ive seen people push for the return of Dean Pay too. TK is a strange place sometimes

I thought cogger was our best half when he left and he still would be if he returned

 

[Geoff Chambers]

Don't blame them for not coming to this shit hole and preferring Redcliffe lol

Plus nobody wants to play under an assistant instead of Bennett.

Spot on my friend, I couldn't agree more

There's still allot of talk of this "all powerful" and "mighty" club when really it's a total debacle at every level. The majority will defend Gus till the last and I'm not saying he's he's shit at his job but hiring another "assistant" and selling him to the fans as the true puppet master behind Panthers success is BS.

In hindsight that was a really really poor choice I couldn't imagine any players out there wanting to come on board. Except Renyolds of course lol

 

[Teddybear]

Simple fix- get holbrook here as an assistant, also puts pressure on ciraldo as we have a ready made replacement and bring tino and fifita with him.
We have 2 m ++ to spend for 24....gus over to you

Cogger is looking good in a stacked Penrith. IMO Cogger is back up at best - not sure he offers more than Sexton or even Flanno. TBH we need an experienced half to lead us around, but any 7 needs some middles to lay a platform

Tino
Reed
Tpj
Kiks
Fifita

No question we need a quality half. It's sad Penrith have a better back up half that is better than our first choice half

Sadly a lot of teams have a better back half, FB and middles than our starters. Our list is very low on quality. Which is why we need a combination of good recruitment and pathways. Sick of losing but bro

Which is why when you look at those old Bulldogs teams in the 80s, and then you look at our reserve grade teams, you see some amazing NSW Cup forward packs. We were always well stocked in that department.

You can’t have that anymore. There are too many teams in the comp. If you have good players in reggies they’ll get poached.

Me either. Cogger is the same player he was, when he was with us.
Scope said on Levels yesteday “if you took Rajab and Cogger and switched them on the weekend, the results don’t change”
Cogger is playing good because he’s in a good team. Rajab is playing shit because…

 

[the_insider]

Tino won’t come, he left the storm and signed with the titans to be closer to his family and those family ties have only strengthen with his brother there as well now, add to that we’re in no better position than the titans in terms of where we are ladderwise and how much we could offer him

 

[Howie B]

Lots of recruiting gets done in the off season so it’s not too relevant who is or isn’t off contract. Most of the good ones are obviously tied up.

Clubs tap players all the time that are on contract. Alternatively player managers always seek upgrades. I would hope that some of our signings for next year are contracted players and not the dregs left on the market.

I would imagine a fair few of the dragons and titans players will be on the move. Same applies to any other clubs with a new coach.

If the roosters don’t make the finals I could see them having a clean out as well.

 

[justdogs]

Manly have 5 blokes covering $5M
Turbo
DCE
Jake
Olakuatu
Schuster

I don’t know how they are getting 30 under the cap

I know man, Roosters doing it for years too, but everybody knows, if we go $1 about the cap, they will fine us or take points of us

Maybe. A prop isn't worth 1m and Haas is the only exception to that rule. 1.2m would be overs for Bronco imo.

Sign his brother

 

[Gene Krupa]

Too pissed at the moment to compile a list but there have been plenty of signings in the last 12 months or so that could have helped us. e.g the Dolphins squad as an example that we have missed completely.

The amount of money that were thrown at them is the reason they went to the Dolphins. They paid way too much for some of them.
