What a silly comment... you think the Trbojevic brothers were leaving manly? Believed media hype!
Fifita is not leaving Brisbane, again you believed media hype!
You would be happy with dogs paying latrell a mil plus, and also give roosters compensation?? Perhaps you’re the problem and not the board... like I have said to you, it’s November 9, barely one week into the signings season, for 2021, not 2020... big name Players will not sign for other clubs till mid next year, they will perform to earn more dollars unless you’re a stupid club like the tigers offering latrell 1.3mil a season
Silly comment ? So Politis didn't re-sign Manu before Nov 1 ?
I never thought the Trbojevic brothers were leaving Manly unless they were unable to afford them of course but I did get a feeling from everything I've read that maybe our board were pinning too big a hope on achieving that and if they were then they were focusing on totally unrealistic targets and that was a warning sign.
What made me believe that we would sign a superstar or more were comments like those below
Apr 2, 2019 - "Canterbury Bulldogs coach Dean Pay says his club needs to sign a "franchise player" in the mould of Kalyn Ponga when their salary cap troubles subside in 2021 if success is to return to Belmore"
- along with numerous media articles quoting club management that we were forced to shed players so we could be more active in the player market in near future
Yes I would be happy for the Dogs to offer 900K to a MIL a season to Mitchell (as many others on here would also) to play fullback potentially but definitely no compensation to the Roosters. It just shits me that we definitely need an outside back and both Manu and Mitchell were available for 2021 but we failed to get Manu and we've decided to not even put in an offer for Mitchell. Big name players available are getting picked off all the time. Parra signed Matterson the other day. I tend to believe the post quoted above about the Dogs playing hard ball with player managers when we have nothing to really offer other than a bigger paypacket. I feel our current management could be doing things a lot better
