If we sign JT we would most probably loose around 2-3 good players?

If we dont sign him who would be BK replacement if he retires?

And is JT really worth $600,000?

Questions need ANSWERING! WHat do you guys think?

If it means fking off even a quarter of our first grade squad just to squeeze him in under the cap... the answer is no.

he can fk off to union.

I'm not fussed tbh

If we get him, we get him. If we don't - I'm happy too.

The problem is he's asking for too much money. I would hate to trade someone like Hannant and Ennis for this guy.

I don't think he's worth the asking price.

He also sounds as loyal as SBW.

He is a very good footballer, but you'd think if he does come back it would be at the expense of someone already in the team.

Best to keep that money for young new talent, and keeping hold of the current squad I think (plus you have to think he wouldn't slot in too well with the big turnaround in the teams unity, and off field reputation. If you're going to the highest bidder, more power to you, but do it somewhere else).

id pay him 450-500k tbh

kimmorley is on at least 300k, ryan and patten are on their last legs also so i think there is room to top up his country later on in the years

As much as a good player/person he is I don't want him if we are going to end up losing half our current players. We have build a good foundation at the moment! but to think that BK is going to go soon we do need a decent 7 to replace BK and a number 7 is an important position.

JT will bring alot of that if he comes back.

To be honest I don't see it happening its just all talk at the moment and I don't think he will come back to the Bulldogs anyways. He says "The right options" more like the right amount of money.

Even if his whole family lived in Bankstown and he lived in a mansion next door to Belmore park. I still wouldn't think he would come back to the Bulldogs.

The poll shouldnt be "We dont need him" as ANY team could do with thurston.

I dont want him as I dont think he is worth what we would lose to get him.
