Dragons and Dogs in, Roosters out of Addin Fonua-Blake race amid new Warriors clause

[T DAWG]

Besides on the kennel, have you ever played darts Joel?

Luai will be at dogs with his mates in 2025 5 year deal 5 million

Shane Richardson just said on SEN that the Tiepies have withdrawn interest in AFB. Sounds like they are all in on the lil bitch from Penif.

Oh, and the New Boss Richardson just tipped the Onetooths as specials to win the comp in 24.. What a bad man for not suggesting it would be Wests.

Makes me feel either dragons have really put an offer no one else is prepared to match or clubs shying away for whatever reason. Not gonna lie; still hope we land him unless it’s 4-5 year deals.

...straight out of the book of Gus.

I imagine a 4 yr deal (if Dargs are really offering that), would be hard to pass up at Addin’s age. Especially on the reported figures. I’m really not surprised if we’re out of the race, if his management has told Gus that deal is on the table.

I reckon he'll take the coin and join the peptide army

Just for the sake of balance to this discussion, AFB has never actually seen out a contract with any club he's joined. Terminated from St George for assaulting his girlfriend, granted an early release from Manly sighting the need to relocate his young family away from Sydney, and now seeking and early release from the Warriors so as to relocate his family back to Sydney.

It really doesn't read well and he's certainly a proven liability for clubs who have signed him. Great season in 2023 doesn't excuse the simple facts that he's unreliable. Personally I think going after the May boys is a way better option.

I don’t think he’s going to backflip a third time and go to NZ

I suspect you're right, but my instinct tells me that he really wants to end up at Refern. Being a Mascot junior and supposedly everything he values is "family" means that his whole clan would be died in the wall Bunnies supporters.

The Bunnies would only need to move Big Tom and Cook on and they'd have the cash to bring him in for 2025. Just saying.

How did you know.
I mentioned in another thread I ran in to Blake Green up here in Newcastle last week and he was adamant he was heading to sharks.

Wouldn’t surprise me if this is why Gus and the club decided not to pursue him. Reads a bit like TPJ albeit AFB has performed better in his career to date. I think if there was any indication he wasn’t all-in on (potentially) joining the club they’d be off him. Same as how they probably gave TPJ a nudge, since he has never been fully committed to being an NRL player.

Big signing for the sharks, didn’t see that coming. Fitzy good at keeping things in the low

 

[Roger the alien]

we aren't signing any big name players to change our fortune's anytime soon, the only way off the bottom of the ladder now is to start developing our own.

Good can we close this thread

Finucane's contract is front ended. He only earns 300k in 2025. Helped them get AFB.

Honestly if this is the case it’s pretty weak by us.
He’s played for three clubs in ten years. Hardly ADD shiz. He has been upfront and honest with intentions in both.
Alsp why would he backflip a third time? Would be comical if he wanted out of Sydneyagain.
And besides
IF he did want out of any deal with the doggs- we would be in a great position to do some player swap. So why not?
We would also have a mil to replace him with and a milllion gets players talking.
We would have a strong element of control in things if he tries to screw us
It feels like we have been praying for a top line prop so Xenu sent us a gift and we didn’t take it.
We need some ‘best in business’ players that aren’t in meaningless positions

I remember Riccio saying about a month ago that the sharks were a big hope. They cleared Tracey, Moylan and a few others.

Smart move from all. Sharks are in a premiership window but lack a gun middle. AFB moves to a club that has a chance to win a comp and still gets great coin.

They would want to cash in early though in regards to a premiership. He will be 29 before he laces up a boot for them
