They will have a heap of cash to spend if they don't re-sign TRex.
Rumours also Sam perrett might retire freeing more cash.

It's all ok we'll get T Rex in return at double the price.lol

 

[Vinnie]

Well Bird, Hastings now Leilua ! Look on the bright side pretty soon well can say we have the best team in the comp of players let go or lost. If this kid can't play 1st grade ahead of Marketo and others i'm confused !

 

[St Georgio]

We have imposters running the organization!

 

[Vinnie]

Time for change ! top to bottom Doust really needs a good long holiday and retirement brings that !!!!

 

[Vinnie]

We need to get smart !!! Management needs to get smart !! I hear 1.2mill to get Norman is this wise ? 1.2 for Norman or maybe 1.5 for 2 or 3 quality players or maybe 2 quality players and keep some promising youngsters ?? (maybe this approched could have been used to keep Bird or Hastings or now Leilua) They say big name players will attract sponsorships but will Norman attract Sponsorship with his past ??? Winning games also attracts more fans at the game and sponsorship and we need more that 1 superstar to achieve that !!! So guys please lets get smart !!!

what on earth would Leilua do @ the dogs, they have internationals sitting on their bench already, he can however walk onto the Saints Bench next year if he trains hard over the pre-season.

From what little i have seen from afar. Leilua has more potential than Williams has with his lassie backside. Not a good trade.

Which club recently missed out on signing an NRL gun due to the medical portion of their contract offer?

This player was certain to join a club struggling to recruit quality players until a rival offered full medical care for his entire family.

With the money on offer very similar, that extra incentive was enough for the player to change his mind.

I guess Fox Sports were talking about us missing out when this was written. Is giving all the members of a family coverage for all medical expenses included in the cap? Apparently not. Who was the player do you think??

It smells of our recruitment team panicking and putting all our eggs in 1 maybe 2 baskets. It's prone to fail, #dragonsrecruitment # dragonsfooty #pulledtheirpantsdown

I read that and thought it could be us as well

 

[2010]

He has talent and should be signed now, otherwise he is gonna walk to a club that gives juniors a chance to play first grade

 

[Lethal25]

This guy is equal to Jack Bird in terms of ability, we've all seen how that's gone. It would be borderline negligence to not sign him

 

[CarrrnDragons]

read somewhere else we were signing Josh Kerr from Storm.. possibly instead of this guy.. who knows

From the NRL website, medical expenses are not included in the cap but must be approved by the NRL. I can't believe we wouldn't include immediate family's medical expenses if that was all the sticking point was. I would have thought that would be $1000 max.

Hang on we owe the Dogs one they let us sign Lafai!!!!!

Leilua maybe still lives in Sydney. Played for Hurstville United. Good enough reason to switch to Belmore. No travelling eh!!! Plenty of Pacific Islanders there.

Were to busy day dreaming about Norman, Hayne and the like and we'll just let another gun slip out the door. Then we will end up with Trex and shit house Farah on massive overs.
