klemmer , Jackson , Mbye poised to re-sign

[Phalangist]

Bmoz & Rona aren't stars? Lichaa will be too if he's allowed to play more of a role in attack.

Yes they are stars but we lost stars to sign them... Rona and Licha were not stars before they came to the dogs.. Potential yes but not stars!

 

[Phalangist]

Who was the last star that the dogs signed in a postion like 1,6,7,9? That wasn't over the hill and was maybe an automatic selection in the aussie side? Or even origin or kiwi side?

Kimmorley was over the hill
Morris was a winger

I used to think we didn't need them but I'm over not winning a Comp I grew up in an era when we were winning every few years and even in the 90's it was very successfull...

How's that not similar to where were at now? two gfs appearances inc a minor prem, Haven't missed the finals under hasler

Well the following decade (2000-2010) was lame in comparison to the 90's that's true but we still got that premiership. Now this decade has been ok but no premiership win makes it feel shit still time though!

I think if we can re-sign these 3 our future is safe. Probably one big name signing away from teams fearing us though.

Mate it's not similar we played in 3 grand finals and won 1 2 minor premierships..

This decade
2010 no finals
2011 no finals
2012 grand final and minor priemship
2013just scrapped in final
2014 gf
2015 finals

 

[Phalangist]

Between 93 and 98 we had very good chances of winning comps maybe even 99 if not for Ricky Stuart

 

[Diesel]

Roosters?
Eels?
Panthers?

Roosters lost Maloney, RTS and Jennings.
Eels have only signed Foran and still have one of the worst squads. Please don't sat Scott and Gordon.
Panthers very similar to Eels. Sign solid first graders at best and have a weak squad.

 

[Malla]

Can't go buy one picture of TRex. Wanna see him overcome adversity of the year, show some heart and play like it was 2013.

It seems as though Des has put everyone through their paces this off season. Everyone looks a lot more trim than usual.

After T-Rex, I'd rather we didn't tie up a huge part of our cap on marquee players. We are better to buy half a dozen decent players and develop them into a cohesive unit. Better a star team than a team of stars.

 

[Nate DAWG]

Any news or they still on the verge?

 

[DoggiesBoy]

Any news or they still on the verge?

Mbye has been on the verge for over 6 months now.

The last thing I want is for him to play like its 2013

I would replace trex with the following off contract players in order

Gillett
Aubbo
Tariq Sims
Joel Thompson
Ethan Lowe

Realistically I can only see Sims or Thompson coming over out of the listed above

They are probably using his money for all the upgrades, Klem, Jacko, Mbye, Lane so there probably wont be any replacing at all. Elliot or Renouf will probably get promoted to a bench spot.
