He’d play a similar role at the Chooks as he is now at Penriff. They have Lodge and Collins who would start and can play big minutes.

Love them or hate them the rorters do recruitment well. Replaced RTS with Tedesco, needed a half signed Cronk, needed a 5/8 signed keary, needed a winger signed suaali and so it goes on.
They replace quality with quality helps if you have a $20mill salary cap.
When they make a mistake they move player on quick smart eg Flanagun. Whereas we over pay to sign duds and other clubs rejects and are stuck with them.

My God you guys have a very high opinion of the Roosters and their pulling power......what a defeatest attitude. Oh no the Roosters blah, blah, blah :grinning: Ever since Gould returned to the fold and Ciraldo joined him in Belmore the Dogs have become a magnet for players looking for an opportunity to further their careers. Gone are the days where we were over paying for fringe first graders. We can't sign everyone and paying overs is a thing of the past. We are not the tigers, we don't have to throw the baby out with the bath water to sign the players we want. If Leniu is all about the dollars let him go to the Roosters....Everyone and their dog knows Polatis has cornered both the brown paper bag and dirty towel industries. You will not catch me losing any sleep over it. I honestly believe that if Gus and Cameron truely wanted Leniu he would already be signed, sealed and announced. Even before Moses re signed with the Eels they approached Gus and Gus told them to take a walk....they took too long. In years gone by the club would have done and payed anything for his signature. How times have changed. Don't forget Gould did say we have no offers pending. Even Steve has been very somber reguarding any talk between Leniu and the Bulldogs. He did say that it is not a done deal when a lot of Kennelers were already in celebration mode. I swear the next person that refers to Polatis as uncle Nick can go Fuck themselves....are you a Bulldogs or a Roosters closet fan? The shriveled old fart aint my uncle and IMHO no dogs fan would refer to him as such!!! End Rant.

We can absolutely compete with the Roosters, don’t sell us short. Maybe they are doing us a favour - do we really want a 15m x 2 stint player? We’ve already got Pele for that.. prefer Haas, Fleggler, NAS or Hunt

We've seen a few years of Thompson now to know he isn't great. We should have made the decision to move him on long before now and sign Leniu as his replacement. We should have moved hard on Leniu from November 1. Now while we sat on our hands he'll likely end up making the Roosters even stronger. What a joke. They lose a player they sign an established big name player to cover. We replace Jacko with a player like Preston who'se never played NRL before and we have to go bargain buy our number 7 IF he even plays that position and some whinge we're over the cap LOL

Thompson is good. Cut the distractions he had off field and injury, better service from Mahoney, plus reduce his contract if he's will to take a hit ... and we will have great value for money middle.

We still need the enforcer, but that's what TPJ is suppose to be, he's been more of a letdown that Thompson arguably.

With Gould we definitely won’t over spend so if he decides to go then good luck to him. Not really fussed either way.
I still reckon Roosters end up with Haas

TPJ still puts some fear into others. He was best in the NRL last year for offloads don't forget. Thompson just has no impact in attack or defence. He's not big enough. Not dominant. Doesn't even run hard like Leniu. We need metre eaters to get us out of our own end. Thompson's incapable of that.
