News Dogs to bare teeth with $8.5 million war chest

[KLil]

He didn’t have the best game yesterday but he’s been great this year. Hopefully he gets a development contract so he can get a game sometime before the seasons out. Kane still has plenty of time on his side though and it’s starting to tick for Renouf a little bit. He’s almost 24 and still hasn’t really made his mark in NRL.

Few errors but his strong running and ball playing at and in the line is beginning to look J.Trbo like, just needs to learn when to pull the trigger.

RT should be on the boat, id say one or two more losses and Pay the dud will play him and probably Harper too when the seasons gone in his blinded eyes. Im actually just watching yesterday's Ccup game and how about RT's kick regather?? This kid has it all lol Pay.

this is where a strong and business minded ceo that needs to be involved in signings with experienced football people, we need to know if we sign good players we can keep then without having the team destroyed with back ended deals like previously

Stating the obvious article. Board must've paid Buzz to write it up to direct attention away from our shit season and raise some optimism.

Maybe fans like you new to pay attention. The article is written by Dean Ritchie

I really dont get why Pay hasnt given RT a start recently.its understandable that he went back to CC coming back from injury & to get some miles in the legs but he's shown more than enough to get him on the bench ... surely he's better option than smith?

Because Pay doesn't rate him, he doesn't fit the mould that Pay has in mind so he won't play him.

Cant see the Turbo bros leaving Manly, cant see Ponga leaving either..

Ponga's interview on the NRL show was far from convincing and if they think 600k is enough to keep him there then....well I hope they do. Ponga is rapidly becoming the next mil dollar player and as our own club said "A franchise player". He's the real deal and the last one I saw was Lockyer. He is worth every penny he asks for and should be our #1 target. Just his signature would be enough to attract more players and cheaper, therefor counterbalancing what your paying him.

He wants 17 elliotts

Ponga number one target for now. Get the biggest fish first

What a front rower who makes 200mtrs p/g,makes line breaks,drags guys over the try lines when he scores,busts tackles ,competes with opposition fback for friggin ball..dear o dear!!

He's killing us !!what does he see that we don't ?

Yh Welch is decent but I really just want a AFB type, someone that will just skittle defenders and just break up the defensive line. Ogden is the only prop that looks like he could do that, To'omaga could be another if he ever gets the chance to develop in firstgrade..

AFB is a beast. I think Welch can wreak similar havoc. He has every time I've seen him.

Ogden and To'omaga definitely fit that profile and both should be in the 17 for years to come.

I agree completely with Napa. Thankfully he keeps making the QLD team so someone may be interested down the road.

But Welch can be destructive at times in ways Tolman never could and Welch is almost twice his size... He reminds me of Darren Britt but with better leg speed and athleticism. Whoever signs him will get a great young prop.

Welch looks better then he is cause he’s running off the back of a big run from solomona

Yh To'omaga is the full package in terms of pure skill, all he needs to do is transition to firstgrade but he just isn't being given the chance. Pay loves the stereotypical old school footballer and that's why he doesn't get a run while someone like Elliott takes up 80 on the edge with Smith some how making it into the starting side.

Not sure if Welch could get there, either way I'm still nervous about recruiting Storm forwards lol

Only ones from storm I’d want is that big Fijian forward, solomona or finucane

Welch would be perfect if tolman wasn't there

A bit like des i think they only froth on guys that train the hardest

I disagree. Obviously it helps playing in such a well drilled team with other good players but Welch carries guys with him and rolls over them for the fun of it and I believe he'd be successful at any club he played.

He would have been picked for Origin 1 if fit.

Soooo, if we get rid of 28 players from our squad by the end of 2020, we’ll have an $8.5m “war chest”. To buy 28 players.

For that many players, That’s not a war chest, it’s our cap
