Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[BxTom]

Their brain dead. A few of them think Burton is the missing piece to a top 4 roster

The sole eligibility requirement to be a Doggies supporter...

I think what I find the most fascinating is the total desperation, as though Burton is the Golden ticket.

Ya don't need a strong forward pack, a great hooker.......we just must have Burton.......It's like small children when told no they can't have chocolate.......

Amazing.

Laundy seems like a massive f**kwit

Too used to getting his own way

I always liked him but I just googled him and his stint over there is being described as "disastrous". The coach told the media after he missed the first four games something like "Until he shows me his fitness has improved he wont be involved". Thats not good.

Please no. Had a good couple years but won't be top 30 quality ever again.

Latu is very lazy. There were a couple of incidents during his time here. He missed a few training sessions and coasted at times.
Very skillful for a big man but doesn't do the hard yards. Not the kind you want around young players.
I think he has run his race.

 

[Blade23]

Thought it'd be the official announcement.

Yeo should be announced end of the week.

Surely Vlandys is watching developments carefully. This signing up players while they have 12 months remaining is truly sucky for all concerned. It used to be June 30 but they were worried about performance being affected in mid-season, but this is much worse.

Damn shame. He and Bryce were shining lights here five years ago, and now Latu is washed up and Bryce is on minimum wage and at the last chance cafe.

Yeah it’s a big yikes no thanks for me on that one, the guy couldn’t put enough effort in to make a horrendous Titans team - standards at our club have gone through the roof since he was last here and by all reports (including Blades below) he would quickly be found out and left behind.

Nearly every player that signs with another club 12 months before their current deal ends is always subject to an early release. It is joke.

So apparently dogs offered us Ogden and we said no. Pretty odd since we need prop depth.

Just Ogden is not enough IMO

We just need depth to fill out the roster and create competition for the bench. If they were willing to pay a % for his contract it'd be very beneficial overall.

 

[herbert henry1908]

The signing period is a difficult one. One big problem with having it later is that rugby Union can sign NRL players before NRL clubs can even talk to them. If we were in a position like the AFL is, where players had nowhere else to go, it could be a lot more tightly managed.

Yeah but if we get Napa for this year I think he actually improves the top 17 playing off the bench and we dont have to commit to him beyond this year. Ogden is just going to slot in behind eisenhuth id say. Maybe Ogden and Wakeham, id be pretty happy with that. But just Ogden? I think we can get them to give up more or just hold onto Burton.

I think you're absolutely right. Thing is I don't think we get Napa. They'll never give up a rookie for an origin rep. The Ogden/Wakeham or even Lewis would be more realistic.

I would prefer more experience.
Lindsay Smith is probably better than Ogden. Probably a couple of juniors better options in the longer term.
I think we just need a hard head for a year or 2 till the rookies are ready. Rather than rush them.
