Tpj to retire from nrl

[Kempsey Dog]

That's crazy.. But we won't complain. Only problem is we already have cap space with no one to spend it on and have to spend 95% of the cap next year. So an extra 750k with no one to spend it on isn't all that useful unless we can front load some contracts when upgrading players.

NRL probably give us a cap penalty like they did Jackson somehow the dirty dogs haha

Guy with a world of potential but application of a kid. Shame to see him leave the nrl. Could have been destructive and around a better pack would have been ok.

But yeh not a huge downside for the side. Struggled with injuries and form. Only down side is we are another middle forward down now so we literally need 4-5 middles now. With hopefully thompson gone we have the cap space just no one to fill it with. Surely Tina gets throw a mill now you’d think?

Haha. It wouldn't surprise me..

 

[The DoggFather]

That's crazy for him to leave the NRL at 27... But we'll take the cap space...

We can front load but can't back load, right?

 

[Heckler]

Malla was half right

 

[Rebuilding Phase]

I really hope they focus on other forwards and not focus solely on Haas when I don’t think he’s going to come and he just wants to bump up his price

 

[tyl0r]

Who the hell are we going to replace him with

 

[Moey91]

Who the hell are we going to replace him with

Perham

 

[The DoggFather]

Who the hell are we going to replace him with

We have plenty of duds that can rush up to miss tackles and offload to the opposition.

 

[B-Train]

Nah you can back load too. Still up to 100-200k or so per year. You just can't pay 125k, then 800k like Des did with Eastwood anymore. That was the change. But every club has a decent amount of players on front loaded and back loaded deals. You kind of need to, to be able to balance the cap well.

 

[KiwiDog7]

Now we can make a 1.3m to Payne

Haas and Mo

 

[Dogiezz]

Should of announced his retiring at the start of the year.

Who do we sign now?

Hopefully not Thompson!

 

[GoTheDoggies]

This is the kind of news that will make me trust the process. He is wildly inconsistent and his heart is not in it.

 

[KLil]

@KLil one more overrated, overpaid piece of deadwood gone

The first thing that popped In to my head was u lmao.. there is one of those contracts we were talking about earlier.. 1 down 2 to go.

We now have half of that 1.5 million I was talking about earlier.

 

[BlackDawg]

Ding dong the witch is dead. Now for the other 15 underperforming overpaid myths that we have harboring as NRL imposters in our top 30.

 

[yearofthedogs2018]

TPJ had so much potential. Who on earth are we going to replace him with?

Yes he wasn’t worth his price tag but we were a lot stronger with him than without. Do we even have any middles for next year now?

 

[cLEBrity]

full scale war for Payne Haas

 

[Interestingg]

Amazing news if true. Good on him for living up to his word and leaving if he underperformed, I respect him more than Thompson now

 

[Moedogg]

He's only 27. He could still sign with the dolphins mid year next season of he can't hack it in boxing.
