The best fullback available and off contract is Tedesco.

[finchie]

Koribete has very bad reads in defence and since his elbow surgery has definitely gone backwards on the tackle busts and aggression front which can be excused but thats what made him so explosive pre injury.

 

[Mr Invisible]

If you are looking at Fijians, Eto Nabuli from Panthers is only on 1 yr contract.

Id up the price on teddy so tigers need to pay then be all over simona like bees to a honey pot. The bloke can play, is fast and aggressive (knocked out inglis last week) so i like him even more now. Imagine jmoz left centre and simona left wing combo. Awesome.

I dont think we will even look at simona. We have a thousand centres and wingers already. Id be annoyed if they waste money getting more.

Mostly rubbish ones though. I'd happily swap our whole backline for the tigers. Big call I know

Maybe we should think outside the box for our fullback and contact the US Police Force. Cop tackles criminal after Usain Bolt-like run.

 

[Natboy]

Haha the cops are so fit & fast over there compared to here. If someone took an intercept off us he could shoot them

Crim did get some good metres, Cop would've been penalised for holding on too long in the tackle and not clearing the play off the ball area. Plus there was a few flops on there that were penalty worthy.

I say throw a jersey on him now. There is no substitute for speed.

Is there a reason why the dogs haven't approached Mansour, Nofoluma or Reece robinson?

Like seriously drop Williams, and get this line up...

Templeman
Nofoluma
Morris
Lafai
Mansour
Mbye
Reynolds
Fafita
Lichaa
Tolman
Pricthard
Finucane
Jackson

Klemmer
Graham
Ohanlon
Brown/Burr/Perett

I know its premature but I think that's what we need to eventually get out title back...

The club probably has approached all of those players and more via their managers.
We just don't know about it. That's how they operate. When you hear players say they haven't spoken to a certain club you can almost guarantee that contact has been made either way with their manager though. I'm sure we are searching hard & will land someone good
I'm sick of speculation so am going to sit back and wait

Here you go pal something to help You pass the time

 

[immortalbulldog]

Wests Tigers have offered star fullback James Tedesco a lucrative four-year deal that they hope will keep the poachers at bay.
Fairfax Media can reveal the joint-venture club provided Tedesco's management with a revised offer on Tuesday to ward off interest from rivals, most notably Canterbury.
Tedesco is off contract at the end of the year and is one of the hottest prospects on the open market. The City Origin representative has indicated his preference to stay put but is leaving negotiations to manager Sam Ayoub, who also represents fellow off-contract Tigers backs David Nofoaluma and Marika Koroibete. The Tigers would like to retain them all, as well as exercise an option on Curtis Sironen.
However, Tedesco is the top priority, with the club upping the ante with a revised offer.

Tigers chief executive Grant Mayer didn't want to provide a running commentary on negotiations and was reluctant to comment.
"All I'll say is we've had ongoing discussions and we're hopeful," Mayer said.
"Negotiations with players are confidential and will remain so until we have resolution. But we are hopeful of retaining James going forward."
The Bulldogs continue to search for a marquee replacement for Ben Barba and it's understood they have tabled an offer for Peta Hiku.
The Manly custodian has done a good job standing in for the injured Brett Stewart and has links to coach Des Hasler and recruitment guru Noel Cleal from their time at Brookvale. However, the Sea Eagles are keen to retain him and are confident of doing so.
Tedesco is another option the Bulldogs are considering and it remains to be seen if the Tigers' latest offer will be enough to keep them at bay. Insiders are hopeful the local junior could put pen to paper at the Tigers as soon as next week.
There were fears Tedesco may have lost some of his speed after suffering serious knee injuries. However, those concerns have been allayed with some dazzling performances this year, where the 21-year-old has stamped himself as one of the NRL's genuine speedsters.
His combination with rookie halfback Luke Brooks has been particularly dangerous and Tedesco will get a chance to further enhance his credentials when he marks up on Warriors counterpart Sam Tomkins at Westpac Stadium on Saturday.
Tedesco has been a target in every sense of the word this year. He was brilliant against South Sydney, who appeared to target him for rough treatment last Friday night.
"I suppose they see him as a danger and sometimes it is an accident and sometimes it is not," Tigers coach Mick Potter said after the match. "The circumstances are all different and they all need to be judged on their merits but he is a good player and people are trying to stop him. You would like them to do it legitimately.
"I don't think he is being targeted to be head-highed, I think people are just having trouble getting hold of him at times. He was all right from the knocks he took but it is a concerning trend and it is not something I'd like to see happen again."

Your definitely right there I wont argue on that.... But you have to admit that's a good looking team.. =)

Oh and slipped a lil msg to Mansours cousin the other day " TELL YOUR COUSIN, IF HE PLAYS FOR THE DOGS HE"LL BE SOO MATERIAL"

 

[Bulldog wazza]

How about looking at this guy?? Souths are already chasing him and they've got GI..

[finchie]

No i have to disagree with u there dognacious, we dont have a tonne of wingers, we have a tonne of reserve grade wingers who couldnt beat time with a stick.

 

[Dognacious]

Might end up being a funny thing to bump later in the year, considering the odds are still good they will be a bottom 4 side and we will likely improve.

That side wouldnt make the 8 right now. Swapping out a lot of experience for none in a few cases. The game isnt all about speed and being able to step.
