Great news. Really pleased both the club and Dugan stuck loyal to each other and worked out a long term deal. Feeling much better about our spine heading forward Thani have for a long time. Feels like we are building a team. Still a few spots spots yet to fill but we are definitely getting there.

But most of all thank you Saint George!

Indeedeedeoo ...!

This news made my week!

You can tell Duges has begun to mature and become more professional both on and off the field.. and what a great club for him to kick this all off with

 

[watatank]

What!!! He was only signed for 4 years? What are these incompetent idiots on the board doing?!!!

Just kidding....this is great news!!! Well done dragons

Dugan asked for five years, Doust said that was too long only gave him four... :sarcasm:

Yaa not to be the vboice of negativity but 4yr deals are too long imo, we want him motivated.... was that likely his request or ours?

 

[watatank]

Wouldn't be surprised if it was the club pushing for that. Obviously having him there as long as possible would have been in the best interests of the club but also means that four year deal is cheaper than a three year deal per annum.

i think 4yr term is ideal. Already into just 2nd year there is thought in the head about having to negotiate a new contract / moving on next year. Too soon in my opinion.

That's a good idea imo, I think that's a really great situation for both player and club. I'm not a Dragons fan but he deserves to go out on his own terms.

Hope all the wrist slitters are ok ?

[jenninga]

Well done guys

Suck shit doggies

There are dickhead Dogs fans who are now saying they didn't want Dugan at their club ,sour grapes at the highest order,saw a couple of comments on twitter.:lol::lol::lol::lol:

 

[jenninga]

The scariest thing is, Como was right :sarcasm:

Hold me, I'm scared...

After countless crap scoops,he had to guess one right.

 

[Steelman]

Would just like to say to all the people whot had a hissy fit over the last few days in relation to Dugan signing with the dragons. ....

IT WAS NEVER IN DOUBT STOP LISTENING TO THE BULLSHIT .....

I've been in close with people directly involved with negotiations over the past 6 week's and though out I'm told Dugan and his manger conducted themselves in a professional manner.

Dugan committed himself to the dragons early on in negotiations was just the length of the deal that took some time. I was under the impression that it was to b a 3 year deal but a great result for the club securing 4 years.

Again as I had stated on a few occasions the bulldogs did approach Dugan but he was not really interested in talking to them.

Anyway on to the next signing which I believe is Scott Bolton. ..

 

[jenninga]

Get off those German beers bro.
There turning you into a poet.

And he didn't knowit

 

[jenninga]

Great news. And in the same week as Quinlan re-signing.

And AhMau possibly leaving.

 

[jenninga]

Yaa not to be the vboice of negativity but 4yr deals are too long imo, we want him motivated.... was that likely his request or ours?

It is long but he is on the right side of 25 and if he can remain consistent and relatively healthy he may be with us for longer ,as say Brett Stuart for Manly,Farrar etc.

I never understood all the panic about him leaving either.

If you believe the reports the Dragons offered a 3 year deal but it was Dugan who pushed for 4.

You have to admit though, it is easy for people like you to stay calm over the issue, because like you said, you were supposedly in close contact with people with direct involvement in the negotiations, which in turn stabilised your confidence. Poor sods like me however, don't enjoy that luxury of deep connections to the saints administration, and therefore we don't know what the f*** is going on, and don't know whether to believe the news coming from people with 'good sources' (especially after the Craig Bellamy saga, when certain people said he was a 'done deal').

I'm really impressed with Dugan if he was the one who pushed for 4 years. But the contract length shouldn't have needed intervention from Duges to make it longer. Oust Doust.
