Should the Dogs chase Coote?

[Nano]

Yes for sure, he has a kicking and a running game which is what we need more of...

 

[Psycho Doggie]

Between them Hoppa and BMoz would be taking too much cap for one of them not to be FB. The other can be centre/wing sure, but if neither of them are FB that won't make too much sense from a cap point of view.

 

[Baby Blues]

I don't see us being in the hunt. He fits the Dragons needs and they should have the cap space to bring him back down south.

How much is Hoppa on, roughly? I thought I read we are paying him pennies

 

[KelpiesHuskies]

no thanks

 

[no1bulldog]

Have been impressed with him plays like another half, Cowboys would be crazy to let him go & talk is they are trying hard to keep him.... The perfect foil for Thurston

 

[habs]

Brett Morris may be following the mold of Billy the kid, injured too often and it might catch up with him.

do we go after Coote to round out our backline

I don't know. Will have to see how well Hoppa does in the next few weeks... So far so good. Bmoz is no fullback.

We are paying overs. More than Parra were.

 

[The DoggFather]

Of course we should chase him.....especially if he has made a line break lol

 

[Packy]

In light of Hoppa. Yes. Though I don't think we can afford his asking price.

No way we are lol

~600k. Not bad I reckon if we moved Williams on (yeah I know he's having a great start to the season, but he's taking up too much of the cap)

 

[COVENS]

Yeah I might be wrong but I was under the impression Parra is still footing most of his bill

 

[GRKDOG]

That's not true. We are paying him peanuts, this has come from a very good source.

 

[GRKDOG]

Is everyone forgetting we have Abbey, Hoppa and Bmoz are currently keeping the fb spot warm for him.

 

[coach]

Can we just sign him for Sunday's........

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Sack Hoppa and sign him.

Abbey should be in the frame 2-3 years IF he builds on his potential. Hoppa and BMoz to Center and Wing if we got Coote

 

[dogluva]

Good question. He is obviously a player with class, however I'd like more intel on why he left Panthers and why he is now leaving Cowboys when in both cases he has been one of their standout players. Seems odd to me.

Fair comment but it seems in the case of the Tits it is primarily salary cap issues. They have 17 of their squad off contract, a lot of them top squad.

 

[dogluva]

Other question is, do we have room for him under the cap?

And ( tongue in cheek) can we catch him?
We need one of those flexible caps, much like the Broncos who seem to think a player should come to their club for much less than they are worth. He may be a handy pickup; his preferred spot is fullback but can play five eighth. Would take some re-organization to fit him in though.
