Actually we *kinda* do (Zerotackle and sometimes the media report players salaries) so we can assume based on that.

If Keating and Halatau dont re-sign, that would cover a good slab of Folau's wage right there. Then you have Brown and Lafai, we'll possibly only keep one of them.

Silva is heavily defensive of Lafai in other threads... hmmm.
Well said mate, don't forget Turner & Payne goneee or the cap increase or 3rd party. Though hey no point trying to educate some people.

Firstly - Bulldogs09 you have no idea what any of our players are on, please shutup

Finally - Folau is a much better player then Morris, you are fools if you think he isnt.
Yes better but will cost twice as much and hence not worth it

Folau is worth $700-800k per season. With the cap increasing over the next few years that won't he massive money.

If sam burgess is on the books at souths for the reported $250k then im sure the dogs can afford folau.
secondly folau would be a walk up start to both the aust and qld side, morris wouldnt.
I love morris and all but he is in no class of folau.

People forget one BIG thing.

Folau is marketable. Currently has agreements with Powerade for example.

That means the Dogs could find him more third party agreements to accompany his payments. From memory before Benny Barba's turn for the worse, Adidas (iirc) were viewing to sign him up as a brand ambassador.

If the Bulldogs find it for him, anything a third party pays Folau will also count under the cap.

Would be great to have, but not if we had to let a few of our key players go.

wouldn't mind losing Lafai and/or Brown for Folau but not Morris, he's solid. Would rather let go of Inu before Morris.

Im sure he would also be a potential 5th tackle kicker too now considering his stint in the AFL
you're joking, right?

I doubt he has any real information. Just speculation. If he had something concrete, he would run with it in his articles.
Rothfield survives on rumour as does News Ltd. Ignore the idiot until it comes for Greenberg or Castle
