Desperate Eels pay top dollar in scramble to boost talent pool

[Mr Invisible]

Zerotackle normally only quote numbers when there is proof to back it up.

 

[likeadoggy]

none of the players we got will take the ball up relentlessly all day. Happy for him but so disappointed to see him go. He's ont of the most underrated in the business. Damn.

Unless they have the players contracts in their hands there is no proof of what they are on

 

[Karat]

Tolman is a great player but that is good coin for him. I doubt the Bulldogs can match that.

nor should we to be honest..

not for that amount of money anway.

 

[Stoofy]

money aint everything id rather win a premiership or go close to it, then play witha team that gets pumped 50-0

If your lucky enough your NRL career can go for 10 years or so. You would only get top dollar for 5 of those years.

If top dollar comes your way, you take it. Career ending injuries can be just around the corner as well.

 

[Mr Beast]

$650k good on yah Tolman, I only wish he will stay at the Bulldogs huge asset to our club once he is gone we will know the impacts it will have on our team which will be detrimental.

LOL at Parramatta, they're going no where!

 

[cookieman909]

Had to LOL. That is ridiculous money for a prop. The dogs hold Aiden in high esteem though. On the w/e he was acting captain, when Inu was talking to the ref he was there as captain. I hope we can keep him, him and Eastwood have by far been our best this year, both need to be re-signed along with franky.

I wish we could keep them all!

 

[Weak Gutted Dog]

tolman at 24 is a must keep. Unfortunately if i had to choose between franky and tolman i would take tolman.
hope franky doesnt go but would sacrifice him for tolman

But we also have Josh J, Dale F which are similar to Tolamn. We also Lachlan Burr coming through the ranks. Unfortunately we cant keep them all.

 

[TrickmA]

Damn if that article is true then he is as good as gone He can't be on more than 300k at the moment, that money is too good to decline. At least we have some strong depth in props, I'm hoping Graham extends his contract.

 

[terrylamb4lyfe]

Edwards denying parra made any approach

 

[Bulldogs09]

It would suck to lose Tolman but let's be real. 650K is more then Matt Scott or James Tamou. It's just not justified.

I don't get parra, they have Hayne, Sandow, Hoppa, Norman now eating up the best part of 2.5mil.

Tolman would push that over 3mil... What the fuck do they plan to do? Put a bunch of nuffies out there with them?

 

[aarooni]

They should have retained klezmer.no foresight at the eels.

 

[Papa Emeritus]

Parramatta are going to dig themselves a Penrith sized hole if they go down this road.

 

[Bob dog]

Some players knock back bigger money to remain at a club they love but the Bulldogs would have to get closer to the mark.

 

[Özil]

I'd rather keep Tolman than Frankie

Same here, I think Franky is 29 this year, I dont think he will be as effective as he was in the last few years.

 

[aarooni]

Do they have talent scouts at that club.?they have become souths of old where nobody wants to go there.poor management.

 

[aarooni]

Need franks exp to help josh and fun?if we can keep most of this unit together we will be strong for a while imo

 

[BaYry Ward]

He's always the beneficiary of desperation haha.

He's on decent coin now because we couldn't attract anyone and were desperate.

He'd be luck to receive an offer of half that to stay with us. All the very best to him. Great player.
