I just think his positives out weight the negatives and it’s in a position we are desperately trying to strengthen. All this talk is probably for nothing anyway as it’s more then likely another rumour that will amount to nothing.
I hope it's nothing more than a rumour! Haha. It's about the money for me. Cam Murray is on 550k and is one of the best young forwards in the comp. The same amount of money on a 27 year old overweight Leilua is way too big a risk for my liking and would be a poor use of cap space in my opinion.

There is a method for my madness
We all know Hopa is smart has great hands, running game and good defence but lacks pace to be a fullback
I believe he is a ready made 5/8
Given that he and Foran are on a million dollars each this year,
Keeping in mind the injuries that threatens Forans future,
Save save save
I would pay Hopa .6 mil his base contract to play 5/8 saving .4 mil
I would let Foran go saving another million dollar saved
$1.4 million will do the job !!!
Hahahahahaha god theres some dribble on here at times. Besides the fact your post doesnt make sense, there is no way in the world hoppa is on 1 mil!!! Are you actually serious??!!!

You can’t really compare the two if Cam Murray was coming off contract I doubt he’s signing for $550k.

They'll have to pay 800K or more to keep Mitchell so they won't be able to pay Manu anywhere near the same. I reckon we would be a good chance at getting Manu for the same price as Leilua (600K) or maybe 650K
In the normal world yes. But when applying the Roosters philosophy and accounting methods 3+3= 3. Where there is a will there is a way and plenty of will at the Roosters....

800k back ended, probably averaged out 500-600k a year over the contract length. We still have a few players in the team on back ended deals.

Can’t believe the club hasn’t thought of just “letting go” of Foran before! We would have a million straight away haha.

Manu or Scott for 600k. Wouldn't pay BJ no more than 500k if that.
Manu almost no chance to leave roosters for $600k he’s about to extend his contract as well - agreed to terms. But he’s the centre i’d want most even more then Mitchell.

I’d definitely take Joey if raiders can contribute $100k of his contract. Gives us xfactor we don’t currently have out wide and he’s not going to break the bank- we are in a position to have a gamble on him. I think the Latrell or Manu dreams are just that they won’t be leaving. Better Chance of getting Semi so sign a centre now.

Of course he's better talent wise than what we have. But so is pretty much every other centre. And there are a lot more factors that come into play than talent.

Paying 500k or more to a meathead like BJ who is the one of the most ill disciplined and inconsistent players in the comp wouldn't be the answer to all of our problems at that position and just like Napa, the minute we potentially sign BJ, we'll be wondering when his contract runs out and shaking our heads about how much cap space he's taking up.

I'm flabbergasted so many people want us to sign him considering he's worn out his welcome at three other clubs and has always been a headache on and off the field. I must have been watching a different player to everyone else all of these years. Yes he can win you a game now and then, but he can lose you even more games with brain snaps and laziness.
He's the very antithesis of everything Bulldogs DNA/Family Club stands for.

And people say Latrell is an accident waiting to happen! Definate no.

Raiders would only have to contribute next year, after that it's all us. If it was a 400-500k contract for 3 years and Raiders pay 100-200k towards next year, so it's 600k/400k/400k (for example) then that'd be alright. If we pay enough money we can get anyone, which includes Latrell and Manu. Manu for 700k is way better then Leilua for 600k. I think Leilua would be a last resort towards the end of the transfer window if we missed out on all other Centre options, which really isn't possible. We're going to be linked to every reject on the market anyways. Unless we can get them for a good price we're not going to sign them (already been plenty of examples).

What worries me is the 600k and 2021. The perfect for us would be find a younger and better player (Scott) or give Harper 2020 to show us what he has or to sign him (BJ) for 2 years with the second year in our favour. To go through what we have salary cap wise and risk it on this guy scares me. I would hate to have a fat player who is not pulling his weight (lol) taking up space in 2021 when we are suppose to be on the rise.

Grow up, you're pathetic and offer nothing to any discussion. Imagine if you were actually 40...
