and we won't sign either of them if they become available...
Just a feeling...I can’t imagine him not having first say in who we select.Know something or just a gut feeling bro?
We don't have as much money as we initially thought. It only looks like we can buy one marquee player (we've already signed Thompson and Cotric on big money). Also B. Smith would be 13 not 14, especially with how much he'd be on. He's also made it known he wants to play hooker.Buy both
We have a ‘war chest’
Grant 9
Smith 14
With the amount of fringe first graders we have we should be able to buy at least ten of these kind of
Players with the correct salary cap management
Yeh! well that's the problem at the moment "Tbaz" is so busy tired up with the Panthers as assistant Coach he has no time to worry about us now, if Penrith make it to the GF that's another 4 weeks wasted for us, in the mean time players are coming on going on the market and we don't seem interested in anyone, by the time he has finished with Penrith it will be to late, we've let 8 players go and Cotric is the only decent signing we have to show for it, I hope by the time TBaz pulls his finger out that we will be able to field a decent 30man squad.Youd think tbaz would be all over this
Have to agree ... I'd love to be positive about this but ...and we won't sign either of them if they become available...
Nah. I'm sure he's talking to plenty of people about next year. Certainly don't believe his "I'm 100% focused on the Panthers till the end of the season"Yeh! well that's the problem at the moment "Tbaz" is so busy tired up with the Panthers as assistant Coach he has no time to worry about us now, if Penrith make it to the GF that's another 4 weeks wasted for us, in the mean time players are coming on going on the market and we don't seem interested in anyone, by the time he has finished with Penrith it will be to late, we've let 8 players go and Cotric is the only decent signing we have to show for it, I hope by the time TBaz pulls his finger out that we will be able to field a decent 30man squad.
FFS we just can't seem to get of this mess - created by another wanna be failed coach who ripped us of big bucks.
I honestly think we'll get rid of a few more too. Currently contracted players.Buy both

Fingers Crossed, Tassie do you know what I love about you ( in a brotherly way of course ) I've read a lot of your posts and you are always so positive, you see the good in everything & like I said before you give us all hope, you're very uplifting and I'm so glad you are a Bulldog SupporterNah.

He'd be completely shooting his coaching career in the foot if he sits on his hands until the end of the season. I'm certain that he's been talking to the club, players etc.

Here, Here, I second that, well said mate & you just did it again. I'm not very religious but " Blessed are the peace makersHaha you haven't read enough of what I talk about
Appreciate the kind words, tho think I'm no different to a majority on here. We all want this great club of ours to get back to where it belongs. At the top.
We all have our special memories of the dogs, and I'm sure our time is just around the corner ....
Ok. Maybe the corner is quite a big one but you know what I means
Napa, Lewis and DWZ. The problem is finding a buyer that makes sense for both parties. Broncos and Sharks have been trying to offload certain players for years and haven't been able to.I honestly think we'll get rid of a few more too. Currently contracted players.
HA. I'm no peacemaker if you're referring to me being one. Nor am I in the slightest bit religious. But appreciate the thoughtsHere, Here, I second that, well said mate & you just did it again. I'm not very religious but " Blessed are the peace makers
TBaz with his coaching career just around the corner and possibly do or die for him, do you think it’s not the most important time of his life to get it right before he arrives. He would be well invested in what’s happening, player movement and hitting the ground running. Only a fool wouldn’t be.Yeh! well that's the problem at the moment "Tbaz" is so busy tired up with the Panthers as assistant Coach he has no time to worry about us now, if Penrith make it to the GF that's another 4 weeks wasted for us, in the mean time players are coming on going on the market and we don't seem interested in anyone, by the time he has finished with Penrith it will be to late, we've let 8 players go and Cotric is the only decent signing we have to show for it, I hope by the time TBaz pulls his finger out that we will be able to field a decent 30man squad.

Exactly this. It's almost impossible to believe that Barrett isn't even thinking about the Dogs and next year, because if that were the case he may as well not come. Let's nto forget also that he's got his coaching team already established so they'll also be analysising players etc.TBaz with his coaching career just around the corner and possibly do or die for him, do you think it’s not the most important time of his life to get it right before he arrives.

Agreed. He’s also walking into a role that would be worth 3-4 times more than what Penrith would be paying him and he would want that salary extended for as long as possible. He seems like a clever bloke so I’m confident he’ll be doing plenty for the club currentlyNah. I'm sure he's talking to plenty of people about next year.

It's just plain common sense, isn't it?Agreed.
