Bulldogs star Jamal Idris chooses to join Gold Coast Titans

[will.i.am]

Disappointed to see Jammer leave, but he is doing what's best for him and his family, I wish him all the best. The club has invested time, money and resources into him and it seems a waste to see him leave. In the end, that's the name of the game. Loyalty works both ways and we cannot retain everyone under the salary cap.

He is certainly not worth the money being paraded by the clubs interested in him on current form. I'm sure the money left in the cap will be used wisely to pick up the relevant replacements for 2012.

This however presents an opportunity for Tim Lafai to consolidate himself into the team. I'll be very keen to see how he would go at right centre.

Good points Will. On Lafai, he seems to enjoy tackling on his left side. What side did he play in NYC?

Tadpole, he played on the left in NYC

Ok. Potential problem.

good, sign brett morris

Awesome idea, is he off contract?

 

[S4Sonny]

Ok. Potential problem.

Being a youngster, he'll be happy to play Prop if it means he gets a run in First Grade.

Jamal signed a 5 year $2.5 million deal. We offered him $380,000 a year.

 

[Dingo]

He really isn't worth $500 grand a year. We should not be paying over $400 grand for a centre who is such a weapon in attack but reads so badly in defence close to our line. We got Morris still.

 

[pillow]

He's not worth 380k lol

 

[dogie]

I honestly think that is crazy $$, what are the titans thinking!?!

Is he now (or rather will be) the highest paid centre in the game? Or is it Inglis still... (What is he on?)

 

[Bitemarks]

He'll regret this there will be immense pressure to perform as a 1/2 mil dollar player form the titans fans, If he turns in defensive effort like he does here it won't be pretty.
