No need to be like that. Put on another coat of Vagisil and get some rest.

Not sure what's sadder. The Knoughts forum posters or the sad ***** screenshotting it into this one.

Don't think the boys give a flying fuck what other teams' forums are banging on about.

We just won't tackle him then

No shit. What I'm saying is that they'd let Hastings go before Leo, and as pointed out above, no one is taking Hastings. Therefore, neither leave before the end of the year.

Exactly my point

Exactly

They'll let Hastings/Cogger go before Leo this year. Hastings is on something stupid like 800K, whereas Leo is on 350K I believe.

He's signed for another 4 years there

15 years @ $2.3M/year please

In 4 years

MAMMA MIA MAMMA MIA LET ME GO

That's steep. Imagine what Faders were offering though if $825K is less money?!

2-3 years. He'll be 20-21 by then. If Ponga goes, he'll be Knights' next man up.

He's already said he's committed to playing there this year with his brother. Not saying it's impossible but I just doubt it happens. Let's see tho.

$350k is cheap for a rep forward for a year. No doubt they'll keep him this year and hope some other junior forwards develop for another year before Leo leaves.

Wait until our first loss of this season

They'll do that with the money leftover from not upgrading Leo for this year. Hope you're right FWIW but Leo's on unders there this year and that's insignificant money.

He's on fuck all there this year, so doubt it.

It's neither. It's NY Day and nothing else to report on. It's just typical bullshit. He's not coming here.

Dogs staffer has already been quoted as saying Leo isn't coming here. Just shut the fuck up already.

Just commit Joel and STFU please.

He has a bunch of family there and it's his junior club. Being close to the beach is probably low on his list of wants.

It's steep for mine. But that might be the kind of money he'll be offered from somewhere, whether that's here or no.

Didn't last long lol

So this means this will be the last post from you on the subject?

Ukraine lives don't count? Tell you what. Big breath in, deep breath out, then hold that for 20 minutes.

Putin is responsible for the deaths of thousands of Ukrainians as well as his own army. And what, he kills more of them and he is somehow saving lives? Before you post that sort of dribble next time, and as you're proofreading your own draft, ask yourself "was it worth putting the ice pipe down...

When an unstoppable fuckwit means an immovable cūñt.

Will you change your name to 69 then?

Lol, fucking hell. Whatever you're cooking cũñt, it's fucking potent.

Exactly. Just because a player's previous club made a recruitment decision involving that player, doesn't mean that it was a good decision.

Just my opinion. Not a Kamala fan either but that is what the US chose. I despise Trump however. Agree that he should come to training. I'd pay handsomely to see one of the boys lay the orange cüñt flat.

This is the typical rhetoric from MAGA deadshits like Trump. Straw-man arguments against the "woke", the "extreme left" and "deep state". It's fucking nonsense, but they're easy terms to repeat like they mean anything. Anyone with some semblance of a brain understands that. However, the problem...

History will remember Trump as the fuckwit **** shart that he truly is.

Close lol. "Resign" means the employee terminates the employment. To "sack someone" means the employer terminates it.

No cooling off period these days IIRC.

We'll land him but we'll also miss out on him.

The finals haven't even finished and people are panicking over next year's Dogs team lol.

No. Farewelled DSaf though.

Yep.

Leo will stay there. DSaf heading off to the Phins will free up cap space to retain him. Better us looking at RCG.

I wish! The only guarantees in life are death, taxes, and Joel being wrong with his "inside information".

Yeah, Mooney ain't coming here.

He just signed an extension, so no, he won't be asking for a release any time soon.

Incorrect.

Can never have enough Dudds

If he's that good, he'll force his way into the side over the likes of Hosking and Guler. He certainly will be picked over CHN, who will be bottom of the pecking order now IMO. Mooney's off contract after this year anyway, so we'll see where he thinks his best destination is for 25.

Hosking and Mooney play different positions. More likely that Mooney takes Saulo's spot.

Matautia brothers x4.

We'd need to sign his other brothers too: Timone, Toblerone and Trev.

Gus being outdone in recruitment by God?! Another fail by Gus :tongueclosed:

If we receive any more 50-point+ floggings again this year, then he'd be joining our whole team of cucks.

Darren Mooney is a very good operator. They managed to swap a young, promising prop from the Knights in exchange for Lachie Miller (!), but also managed to sign AFB from Warriors without any player swap. That's good business.

Outside of his Lowe's commitments anyway lol.

He's a QLD lad and probably wanted to stay close to home. Plus, he likely didn't want to sign here. If we're basing it on body dimensions alone, we may as well sign She-Rex and George Rose.

He's on contract with Warriors until end of 2026 so no, unless the Warriors permit that.

Not enough. We were run by far less competent operators then though.

People forget that 'trades' (albeit this isn't the NFL) mean that both sides receive value. Both clubs need to get something they want, and that usually means giving up a player you don't want to let go. Warriors will want value to entertain AFB's release. Whether it's Kikau or someone else...

*Refs saved Cowgirls' arse

You mean other than the swathe of recruits for this year already? Anyone that signs here "wants to be a Bulldog", clearly. Your posts have descended into absolute dribble, it's clear even you don't know what point it is that you're trying to make.

Zero chance Klemmer agrees to two swap deals so close together. Warriors & Tigers direct deal seems more likely to me. Klem can join a promising Warriors side and AFB gets his move back to Sydney.

By that logic, every off-contract player who signs somewhere else is a miss for Gus. Clearly it doesn't matter what the player wants either - they either sign here or it's a recruitment fail for the Dogs.

Who says he wasn't a target?

They're good players, but not like Penriff are missing them, or that we're doing great with the last two so far.

Doubt it. He's a big lad and will likely replace Gagai in the centres or fill in for Best when he's out for half the season as usual.

This club is also trying to outshine the Clearys by buying rejects from their club, and also doing a crap job at it.

Jacob has just re-signed until end of 2027. I'd say this means neither are coming.

Played in more finals games than he did here.

Watson can run, can't pass. Mann can sort of pass. Neither is great at tackling.

That's the way it's going currently. Might as well give everyone some ability to be competitive in retaining their own juniors.

The intention is good but that system would be open to abuse. Other clubs could make inflated offers with the sole intention of driving prices up for a current player's club, with no real intention of proceeding with a contract with them. I think the better system is salary cap relief for...

Once you go Blacker, you never go backer

There is simply no way that any club gives up 2 players for Fox, particularly 2 young gun forwards in this player market. Fox is a great winger, but he's a winger.

and last

If the rumours are true that Fox wants out, no club in their right mind would swap two players (let alone props, of which there is a shortage) for a player agitating for a release anyway. Clubs can sit and wait for him to probably get released anyway, Klemmer style.

Knights aren't giving up two starting props for a winger lol

Won't happen.

We'll see what happens. Sounds like they are keen on staying though.

Can't imagine he'll want to leave simply because Knights intend to pay full freight rather than a discount. They'll find money for both to stay is my guess.

Zero chance Storm chip anything in.

DSaf offered to take a cut for JSaf, but Knights turned it down as it's against the rules. Long term offer for JSaf made by them.

No idea who, it's just not Saifiti.

It ain't Daniel Saifiti. Davey Holland can confirm that himself.

Not mad, just desperate.

Source?

Depends how good the signings will be. If they're as lacklustre as the ones to date, then probably better off keeping up suspense to get new members on board rather than letting them know what they're buying.

He's signed until end of 2026. So we can sign him on 1 Nov 2025 for a contract starting 2027 (assuming he isn't released beforehand).

We'll get neither.

Zero chance.

Well then you're just comparing the chief playmakers. I mean, it doesn't matter much. Gamble is on a fraction of either Burto or Ponga but is playing semis.

It's a misleading stat without context. Gamble gets early ball to Newcastle's centres, and look at their tries and TAs this year compared to ours. All it shows is that Burto is relied on as a chief playmaker, whereas Gamble does a job getting the ball to other playmakers while still having a few...

If only the number of try assists from halves directly corresponded to position on the ladder. He's also scored 4 tries to their 10 combined.

Yeah AFB hates playing finals football. Warriors can't stand him either. He's only one of the best forwards in the comp lol

That's some dodgy chess lol. Sign as many utilities as possible and hope that some other club needs one, and is willing to part with a quality forward for one of ours (rather than signing one of the many utilities still on the open market). Also assuming that forward wants to come here. Also...

He'll be looking at him for a long time in a Souths jersey.

We've needed just "2 more props" for each of the last 10 seasons.

"He's a soft ****", but also "I don't need to know the details" LOL
