Rumoured & Confirmed Signings (2025 Season)

[hindy111]

Whooaaa. Bit aggressive.

I think it’s most likely Parra, but the dogs might well be in the fight.

If Dog's want him they get him. And that's that. Gus will be able to sign him for 250k lesss then anyone and organise a 300k TPA and get him into the media (kind of like the Storm do)
De Silva is a high chance to go there also. They are shopping Mahoney.

The only chance Eels have is the fact he is a huge Eels fan and probably hated the Dogs growing up. But if he can earn similar money then why come to Parra? The Dogs will win a few titles over the next few years.

So what happens with Burton?

So what happens with Burton?

There is an unsubstantiated rumour going around. If Galvin goes to the Dogs he may play lock.

What a waste that would be

I'm president of the Burton fan club but he's straight up not tough enough for the forwards.

I meant Galvin playing lock not Burton.

And K.Mann just made 18th man for Qld.

I'd imagine they'd axe Sexton and go with Galvin and Burton as the halves.

Awful idea

 

[The Realist]

That's even worse (for the Dogs). Burton has a significantly more developed and robust frame than Galvin does ATM. Even at the same age Burto was a little bigger.

Hope he likes ice baths and deep heat.

 

[Hooked]

They haven't re-signed Sexton. I am not sure how far off Woods is from FG.

 

[Murraymob1]

Send them Hopgoog if it was me. He has regressed big time

A red light stops a car
A parra jersey stops talent

And I thought we where friends.

Crighton left for a reported 800k. Had Penrith offered 750k he stays. I imagine they where throwing around 700k MAX.
I also don't veleive paper talk and Tagos supposed 750k a year but I do think he would be on around 550-600k.
Would you find an extra 150-200k to have Crighton? Yes. It was a mistake letting Crighton go. I also doubt the Dogs would be so United without him.


Burton if stays means Blaize isn't there. And whilst Burton is far more advanced as a player Blaize would be on around 450k and Burton would cost 900k.

So you need to look at things differently. In 2026 Blaize will be on the same but the gap between the two I imagine won't be as big.
And then you have 450k up your sleeve. So you are better off wondering if you are better with

Burton and Montoya or
Too and Blaize

Just an example

Blaize on 525k the same as he was offered at the Eels

Blaize on 525k the same as he was offered at the Eels

Probably not worth that this year. But he might be next

 

[Bred not Bought]

Probably not worth that this year. But he might be next

I think Blaize's deal financially staggers . We are usually conservative/stingy on deals.

 

[Murraymob1]

We

And I thought we where

And I thought we where friends.

We are but after 38 years of waiting to hump the trophy you guys now have your balls hanging down near your knees .All talent drained

 

[Nealo 12]

Awful idea

Not after tonight it isn’t, lolz

 

[Luke Bowden]

Bailey Hayward should be the next 7 followed by Woods.

I imagine they are looking to move Burton into left centre, with Galvin at 6.

it’s a strange one though.

Parra seems the obvious club for Galvin
