I do rate Paul Vaughan especially at his current contract value..

By or Buy or bye?

Hetherington is gone apparently. Not worth the quoted 500K either. He always looks like he is going to make a linebreak but never does.

RFM I'm 50/50. He can be one of our best players when fit. Ava bends the line when he runs unlike most of our forwards. Can hit hard in defence too. He never gets enough game time. Vaughan I'm 50/50 also. If he'll re-sign for 350K good. Averillo was his first good game last week in f..king ages finally

Do you realise all those players you want to release would be still paid about $2m out of our cap for next year & we still needs to replace them. Only a couple would get contracts elsewhere which would relieve a small amount back.

Doorey deserves a 12 month extension, Topine seems to be in the bad books, Vaughan & Hetherington gone. RFM deserves a 1 year contract.

 

[Baseball Furies]

“Release” players??? Lol they’re on contract…

 

[Scoooby]

By or Buy or bye?

If I had to guess… I believe he may mean “buy” if he’s talking players to sign $$

he may think it’s a must to do this stuff “BY” the end of 22, but then again that would involve two types of byes haha.

 

[ddt192]

Dooreys a weak **** he can go too.

 

[B-Train]

Why re-sign Doorey? He's not FG standard. I'd rather re-sign RFM on a cheap deal..

Hetherington won't be here next year..

You can't just release players like Jackson otherwise we have to pay his full deal. You'd need another club to want to sign him and pay most of his deal. Which isn't happening unless he goes to England.

 

[Reecek89]

Doorey and Topine are cup player dog fans thought would turn into big name players

 

[underdogsontop2246]

Honestly, i would want to see Doorey to return and see how he plays. The last time i watched him was 2021 mid season. If he returns as a soft fuck. fuck him off ASAP!

 

[The DoggFather]

Dooreys a weak **** he can go too.

He is the softest **** I have ever seen. I don't get why some want him polluting our jersey...

 

[diddly]

Players with only a year to go on contracts such as Waddell Burns Allen Okunbor etc may seek a release if they can find a two year contract elsewhere even if 2023 is for less money- gives them an extra year of assured income. If on 250k next year they might be better off going elsewhere for 180k a year for two years - ESL?

It is a step in the right direction that JMK n Naden moving on - cap space and top 30 spots freed up.

 

[Shanked]

maybe you should hand in a resume

MUST by the end of 1st of June 2022

Mods ban Omar Hamdan from creating new threads!

 

[Malla]

If RFM can finish the year strong and healthy we should definitely give him another deal. He was good against Dragons.

Doorey has never looked like a first grader. He's too small, looks like he has a beer belly, doesn't work hard enough in training and it shows on the field.

Topine is the only one I would want resigned. I hope he gets a crack in first grade again this year.

Also keep Burns. He's been good, just injury proned, which has always been his issue, but I think Burns would be important to have in the team so younger guys can learn from his prep, training, what he does during the week etc. Schoupp's attitude and commitment to training is questionable, Averillo looks like he hates playing footy so honestly who cares about him - you just want the right people around guys like Kiraz - Burns and Addo Carr are those type of players.

 

[Family Guy]

Not sure about this one Nasheed
Haven't seen anything from Doorey to suggest he is a first grade player. Everyone else I agree with.
I wonder how long your new profile will last before you gett banned. I give it 3 weeks

By or Buy or bye?
