News Dufty secures Super League deal; Hetherington eyes Knights

[JUNKYARD DOGS]

Send him to England now as a show of good faith.

 

[Psycho Doggie]

Hethrington is going to the Knights to be coached by SuperCoach O'Brien

Not sure where he fits in their current squad. Klemmer and the Saifiti's keep him out of a starting prop spot, Barnett is lock, and Fitzgibbon and Frizell are better options in 2nd row. Hetherington is a benchie at best and needs several injuries if he has any hope of starting a game.

I guess during midweek he and Barnett can share sob stories about getting long bans.

 

[Burgler]

Both shit considering what they're being paid. Either ain't playing like $300k forwards at the moment.

To be fair Vaughan us in top 10 currently in post contact meters, averaged 120m a game. 97% tackle efficiency. I know stat's aren't everything but he seems to be contributing enough. If we can keep him and move Thompson on, I'd say that's a win

 

[Dogs79]

Was hethrington contracted to us next year?
Is this another example of us contributing to a players salary under our cap to play against us?

Apparently he had a $500k mutual option for next year (I believe NRL rules state that Both parties must agree to activate), but the club has advised him they won’t be taking up the option so he is free to negotiate for 2023. So my understanding is that he is effectively a free agent so we won’t be contributing anything.

Barnett is moving on next year, can't recall where maybe Warriors.

 

[JUNKYARD DOGS]

So the bloke says he signed to play under Barrett, gets the shits wants to leave to another club to not play under Barrett somewhere else. Yeah ok [emoji23][emoji23]

 

[Sandra's Bollocks]

Well done by the club.

He won’t be going this year mate. He is out for the year injured

 

[Interestingg]

Absolutely no reason to not drop him to reserves now. Doesn’t matter who replaces him, they can’t be worse

Remember when TK was jerking themselves over Dafty lol

He was but they're saying he'd be getting a new three year deal with Newcastle which generally negates any money owed.

 

[CMP]

Dufty will probably kill it in ESL

His game will suit the ESL well

He will be a man of steel candidate

 

[beastwood89]

I absolutely understand now why lomax and Laurie said what they said about dufty on the Matty John’s show earlier in the year. And I gotta say I totally agree.

Don’t you mean Cat of steel

[Cappuccino]

Dump him to nsw cup now. Knew this cat wouldn't last before taking the exit
