Rumour Watson ?

[Kempsey Dog]

Would have been a good option at #14 for us. But with Taaffe and Salmon already signed I'm happy this offer fell through.

Anyone feel like Gus is playing 3D chess with Robo. No way we were serious about Watson after signing Salmon, Morrin and soon edwards. Robo is like Gus wants Holbrook let's sign Holbrook, oh wait Gus wants Watson, let's resign him.

No. More likely that Holbrook and Watson were either using us to boost their value, or they chose the Rooters between us and them as they have had more recent success.

No.

If you were Holbrook. Why the fcuk would you choose the dogs over the roosters

So you could have me as a fan

Couldn’t have salmon and Watson in the same 17 so not unhappy about this

So now we know what put him over the line to the rooters

You could easily, Watson plays as a lock and hooker cover, Salmon plays as an impact second rower that also covers outside backs.

After a year where we've had our injury ward full week to week with different players, I can understand that the clubs chased some utilities. If you have players available that can be shuffled around at need it can really help. Ideally we want talent dedicated to specific positions. But if we cop injuries in future and don't see dramatic reductions in quality moving in to take over it's a big help.

Need convience and evaluate if we can sign Thompson for $400k… that’s a good deal if we can and he can stay for next year

Isn't he off to the dragons?

Maybe the fact that the roosters are premiership contenders and we arent

Yeah I was taking the piss in case you couldn't tell but thanks for the post

 

[kmr07]

No.

Maybe because the roosters with a superstar squad are failing so there appears to be no easy fix… dogs have their reasons for being shit and the only way is up lol

 

[Nasheed]

I am not sure why people are celebrating us losing his signature.
Apart from the opportunity to dvelop him into our own Cooper Cronk, he was to be Mahoneys backup in case he needed a rest or gets injured. Now we are in panic mode in that respect.

Food in Belmore is way better than anything the poofs have in Bondi

 

[D- voice]

If the Rorters wanted him he wouldn't have been on the market...
The likeliest reason is he has failed the medicals.

Well if Foran can keep playing there is hope for everyone if they work hard and get some luck along the way.
