Dire Dogs Cap Struggle On Show

[liljohny]

No idea if it’s true but I heard whispers that Elliott is on pretty big coin.

Yep...been topped up by a TPA with Neil Diamond

 

[dogluva]

The Storm, Roosters & Broncos have a plethora of TPAs that’s where they have the edge in attracting & retaining whoever they target

According to Uncle Nick the Roosters have the lowest amount and number of TPA's which were last year I believe quoted at 200k......and I used to watch Ripley's Believe it or not thinking some of their stories were pretty far fetched..........

Hahaha, uncle Nick is a magician! The roosters have a board worth over a billion dollars! If the board decided to take the boys out for a dinner, and upon returning to their vehicle's the boys accidentally find a couple of hundred thousand dollars under their driver's seat, who's going to know!

I think what uncle Nick means is $200k to $300k per player, Greenberg must have miss understood!

Rooters are over the cap and by a mile. Do not tell me what so ever that there line up is worth 9.5mil.... it’s more like 15 mil... please tell me how in the fucking world do they keep under the cap and have all these players that practically play international/rep football across the park. They get rid of Furgo and wow sign Brett and a England international winger. Gtfo load of shit. As people have suggested just fucking break the salary cap and buy players and who gives a fuck. We get a fine and slap on the wrist and if we win a comp wow they take that off us. But what they won’t take is us celebrating a gf win and closing the streets down at belmore. Lol

Sorry CB, but uncle Nick said they are still under the cap and they had the lowest TPA's out of all the teams, uncle Nick doesn't lie!

Ps, uncle nick has been in car sales for a very long time!

 

[Heckler]

Rothfield said we’re spending $9.5m on a $6m team. Well what do you think we’re trying to do Mr Rothfield, we’re trying to fix that by offloading overpaid players to get to a situation where we are spending $9.5m to get a $9.5m valued team, that’s why we got no one! It doesn’t happen overnight!

Talk about flogging a dead horse!

 

[flamebouyant]

He didn’t take a pay cut he just took less then the other offers.

No, he actually took a $30k sacrifice.

Oh yeah.......... I believe......

 

[doggieaaron]

We need to fast track renouf t he has awesome leg drive and massive go forward which is what we need pick him to start give him so game time to develop

That's just pocket money for Cronk and his Harvard Degree education... So he can buy books and lollies...

Agree with everything except the 'Mr'.
The honorific commands respect and Phil has none. Not within, not without.

I think we needed another prop to replace Klemmer the signing that is perplexing is CHN. It’s not a knock on him but adding another second rower when we already have plenty of depth there is dumb when we have so many other areas that need strengthening.

It makes sense to make longer term plans. Good players aren't available every year. So as part of the re-build they may have decided to pick up a potentially great option a year ahead of time. Not much backline talent was available by the time we cleared some cap space. So rather than paying overs for someone not worth the big money, they opted to pick up quality where it was available. No doubt some of the off contract second rowers will move on by 2020. And by then CHN would be settled elsewhere had we not bought him when he was available.

I'm hopeful that we have planned to lure in backline talent and a decent hooker this year for 2020. No club is going to just release talent as a favour to us. So picking up CHN might have been the best option to spend the money long term. The evidence is in our salary cap situation that the old board didn't plan ahead. So it may not look like common sense to bolster the second row when we did. But look at our long term inability to lure a decent fullback to the club. I'm happy to see the club lure decent players at a time when they're available.

I think we lack motivation and enthusiasm. Someone that can lift the players because I don't see anyone in the top 17 that can motivate the team. Seriously, I'd make an offer to Josh Reynold's to return (dogs pay 300k and tigers pay 500k). I'd even play him at hooker.
Give it to me bitches because I don't see much changing.

 

[no1bulldog]

I think we front loaded some contracts with cash we had spare for this year to try and free up salary cap space a little sooner

 

[Dogzof95]

Didn't Greenberg say teams need to have most of their salary cap spent every year? How the hell does he expect that to happen when 90 percent of the top players are taken by the top teams! Honestly, the NRL administration are out of touch with the clubs and the game, terrible...

 

[Scoooby]

I don't understand why we signed Napa when we had no specialist centre? We can get by without Napa but we really need specialist centers to defend out wide.

Harper lol..!! More special than what we have now, he’s a gun.. and needs his shot ASAP

 

[Howard Moon]

People will say Harper is not ready, but I mean... can it get worse than Montoya?
