Opinion Time to go shopping

Bullfrog days are gone after we got flogged 37 comp points for rorting the cap you reakon they forgotten about it they scrutinise us worse than the tax office

 

[BondiBulldog]

MUNSTER, if we had him last week we win 30 nil.
Probably top 3 players in the world at the moment only gonna get better.

 

[Dexter35]

So you are saying we have money in the cap and we just not using it?

Yes that is correct.

They are "hoping" at snatching a decent "named player" mid year when a club is under cap strife.

Same shit withthe "fire sale" we had

 

[coach]

At least okunbor asking price went down dramatically lol

 

[jpneves]

We aren’t going to attract the players we need without paying overs! Example we had an offer to Munster and he went to the storm because of the ‘big three’. We just are going to have to endure some hard times and put our faith in a few of this squad who may kick on. We know Okonbur is rocks or diamonds and at times his hands can let him down. Lewis is going to be targeted by defences now being in his second season. We lost two of our best players in Napa and Foran. Our hooker is a make shift utility. We lack a real hit up merchant who can roll/set up our sets. These guys will learn that the great performance against the storm is ‘fish n chip’ paper and in this comp you have to back it up

 

[diddly]

we need to sign some one like ponga , lateral mitchell, munster type of proven player

not Jayden Ockenbor or some other unknown player with all hype and nothing else.

Robson, Brailey, Koroisau, Oates, Rapana, Feki, Flegler, Welch, Paasi, George Burgess, Gutherson

that's a good starting list - id also be looking at players like simmonson, lelisiao (parra winger)

 

[Packstar]

2 slabs of VB throw downs for every Dogs game. My Woolies rewards is going to go off tap

 

[jasonsmith11]

we need someone who is mad for it like josh reynolds, losing is not part of the back ended deal

 

[pisssst]

Our top 30 is full. And the club have said there will be no mid season buys.

 

[GoTheDoggies]

Feki, Michael Jennings, Brailey, J. Reynolds (bench utility), Mitchell Moses, Robbie Farah 1 year deal

Forwards:

Tetevano, Aubusson, Joel Thompson, James Graham, Ese Ese

Off contract 2020:

David Fifita, Tapau & Twal would be top priority for fowards

Reynolds, Farah, Aubusson and Thompson would be just stupid for us, just more deadwood.

 

[BG73]

except that we're blooding juniors because apparently there is no cap space. Meaney has been a good buy so far, same with CHN and Napa before his injury. Cogger is pretty fucking meh, if we had money we need a half, a hooker, a centre and maybe a winger plus 2 or 3 big forwards

Great post. Exactly what I’ve been thinking for weeks, exactly the positions you listed are what we need, desperately. Just hope the club are actively finding some for next year

Cotric and the young kid from the sharks must gets

Who would come to this circus coached by a clown?

Clowns are meant to be funny though?.. but i wasnt laughing..

Said this before, I'm concerned the current board want to do things like the 90's and try and bring together a group of fringe players and turn them into a premiership winning side, I don't think you can do that anymore. In time some of these players will be great but playing a side of mostly inexperienced players will end up with results like today.

When we have money available we need to sign some decent players, we may have to pay overs but something needs to be done. Your Okunbur, Meaney, Lewis style players can only get you so far.

The chatter around the club says is we have cash to spend under the cap this year..

Mate, they have cash under the cap

If Farah & Reynolds are deadwood then what are Lichaa & Cogger?

 

[James zac]

If Farah & Reynolds are deadwood then what are Lichaa & Cogger?

Lichaa yes Cogger has potential not in the dead wood category at all

 

[Wayne Rooney]

If Farah & Reynolds are deadwood then what are Lichaa & Cogger?

Chronic infection of the vagina

Can't be a massive amount I would say. A club has to spend 95% of it's cap, meaning if we had cap to spend it could only be around $400k. We would also need to offload someone in the top 30 to make a spot. If you offload a player on minimum that takes you to around $500k available.
