Turbo Time

[CroydonDog]

Could you imagine it. We'd rehab him for 2 years on 1.2M and then sell him to back to Manly to kill it for the rest of his career.

AKA the Kieran Foran model.

 

[Brendan7]

So you want to offer him a million to play half a dozen games...

You want a manly player get Rueben Garrick...he actually stays fit and he's an ELITE goal kicker

 

[Brendan7]

If those 8 games were on the road to finals
Wow
What a run that would be

In true Turbo fashion he'd do a hammy in the prelim lol

 

[CQDog]

Bring Jurbo over though.

Jake seems cooked. Tom is a Freak of a player. But with his size strength and speed you have to wonder when his body will start to fail him, what he will become as a player.

Jakes drop off was rapid. Even though very different players you’d be wary signing Tom up for 5 years and dealing with him in his 30s.

End of the day when on the field he is probably the best fullback in the comp. But attaching a million + dollar price tag is risky if he is playing under 20 games a year.

What do you mean when his body will fail him? It’s currently failing him, he plays 10 games a year.

It should hold up better as time goes on. He can make adjustments to his technique and how he plays.

DCE is the player I’d go for from Manly.

 

[the12thman]

Manly would have to chip in money if they release him.

Tommy at 750- 800k a year would be great

 

[Bazildog]

I really dont want any more Manly stains at the Dogs, but if we went after anyone i would chase DCE for no other reason than he is in the top 3 7's in the game and our 7 is probably ranked 16th..

 

[JORDZILLA]

guy is injured 2/3 of the season no ty

Great player. Possibly best football brain in the game. But wouldn't there be a risk of DCE being divisive? That would risk the Bulldogs culture being restored?

Nah, the Belmore boys would bash that out of him..

 

[GoTheDoggies]

Being available is a key attribute. I'd rather stick with Averillo.

 

[GoTheDoggies]

Olikuatu is the player you want from them, strike backrowers on both edges

 

[Cheng]

Would take him to play centre at centre money, but not for FB

Only reason id take him to play in the centres, is because he would less likely be injured compared to playing at FB

Jake is washed up.

Anyways, its all a pipe dream

 

[Kempsey Dog]

Injury prone and a major risk.
However the major sticking point is his overrated brother who is Tolman in attack, if they wanted a package deal, I'd say no.

Yeah, Dessie fucked his game the same we he fucked Jacksons..

 

[bradyk]

can't see him leaving Manly but would definitely go hard for him if he wanted out. If Manly don't think he's worth what they're paying him they can chip in. He's a top 5 player in the competition. I get the injury concerns tho.

 

[Roger the alien]

Was only a matter of time before someone made this thread.

 

[chisdog]

not enough duct tape in this world to keep his body together.

Yeah I don’t see him ever leaving Manly either. Especially because they also have his 3 other brothers signed up long term too.
