Official John Asiata joins the Bulldogs

Signed sealed delivered call it in lads

I'm OK with Asiata on a 1 year deal providing its no more than 200k

 

[c-b-b]

I’ll judge him next year but it’s not a minimum wage signing. Before releasing Elliott when we had one spot left Gus said if you find a deal elsewhere go for it, to me that means we needed to free up money.

What?… So Asiata will be on over $500k? Please…. He’ll be on peanuts with incentives depending on how many games he plays in 1st’s I reckon!
Gus is doing the PR well…. Carrying on we have no $$$ dribble. Out goes Idiot, in comes Asiata saving $300k’ish to spend on that quality 7 or 9 that may come to us

Let's see him play in a dog's jersey before judging him lads.

 

[KingBurton]

What style of play? Ineffective in defence and carting the ball forward but has a nice pass? Lol. He's rubbish and busted. Shit signing.

shut the fuck up your the most pessimistic person I’ve ever seen just enjoy the ride. Like if you agree

I didn’t say he’s going to be on $500k but he’s not going to be on $105/130k or whatever the minimum is these days.

 

[sleepy dog]

Very good pick up

We laugh but this is fool proof lol

 

[D.O.W.]

Disappointing way to spend Adam Idiots money if true

If he does sign, he won’t be too much more than minimum wage.

We won’t be paying overs for anyone whilst Gus is there… that includes Asiata.

That's way too much to ask for our resident nonperforming experts.

 

[BahaMan]

You blokes seriously kicking up a stink over a 1 year deal, likely paying peanuts, for a bloke who’s probably better than Elliot?

 

[Total Fool]

Very good pick up

Sleepy… what’s the latest bud on B Smith ?

 

[hoody06]

Great pick up, will come off the bench and rotate with Jackson at 13. He's a big body with ball playing skills, he will be a great asset on and off the field.

 

[Total Fool]

Scum Eels picked up discards Cartwright & Isaiah Papali’i for peanuts… they took the gamble & won!

Im all good with the gamble on Dufty, Vaughn & possibly now Asiata

If they end up sh1thouse… then bye bye

 

[bullanth]

If he stays fit and injury free will be a positive for us,I can’t imagine he would b on huge dollars.

Spot on, Gus knows how player managers work, these guys are generally aware of how much salary cap space is left and try and milk every penny of it for their clients. He’s keeping his cards close to his chest and making smart decisions on behalf of the club… we need experience and leadership, at close to minimum wage, this would be a decent pick up.

On another note, I still feel there’s a chance for The Cheese, especially after today’s Ch9 interview with “Big Smithy Smithy”…

Spot on ,Elliot 4 years the only headlines he created were all negatives,as a player Asiata brings a lot more to the team,on a 1 year deal a no brainer,perform or perish.
