If they players actually wanted to stay at the dogs then they would have. Just accept that anybody will leave the dump of the club that you support the moment a slightly better offer comes along.

Slightly better? You paid massive overs for myles, anasta and o'meley...

:lol::lol::lol:

Your club is notorious for paying massive overs. The only thing is they all go on to be absolute garbage. Hodges, Roberts, Mason, O'Meley, Anasta etc etc.

Bet Hodges & Roberts couldn't wait to get the f**k out of there.

How much where they signed to the Roosters for? How do you know what these blokes are earning??

Overs? Who was the one who was cheating the salary cap? Your club defines paying overs for players.

Hodges was a very good player for us in a premiership winning year you blubbering window washer.

Amos Roberts was very good, and Anasta has also been good.

Mason was ok in 2008 and never really recovered from injury after that. O’Meley was ok as well and part of a top 4 side.

DoggiesBro, perhaps you should worry about your own club, rather than worrying about what other clubs pay for their players.

What's so funny about re-signing Pearce and SKD?

Both been at the club since they were youngsters and love the club, losing them would've been a travesty. Pearce is always the last to leave, hangs round the club and up for a chat anytime. Skidsy is the same, both live and hang out around the area.

Clubmen like these are what you build your culture around, both are 22 and 23 respectively. Paying overs for youngsters that you can build a squad around is part and parcel of the game especially ones that were in such high demand... it's the risk you take to reap the rewards in the future.

Throw in Kennedy, Tasi, Moga, Friend, Masoe, JWH, Cordner, Leilua, Symonds and Cherrington as others we're paying overs for... and proud of it.

For someone who is so against clubs who 'poach' you're either really ignorant to believe that youngsters aren't going to receive overs in the early parts of their career or you're just a hypocrite who's incapable of following through on his beliefs. I'm tipping the latter.

The most interesting thing is that Shaun knocked back the Bulldogs bigger offer this year to stay at the Roosters... ;-) (Chris Lawrence too)

:lol::lol::lol:

Tasi was bought from the sea eagles you idiot the same as jwh, hey maybe if you sign another 4 manly players you can jump onto stripping them of players instead of the dogs for once.

Wonder why we have had to buy so much lately? Its due to the fact we were continually raided. just as we start getting our own lot through again in barba, lafai, idris, taupau, kasiano etc another one is poached.

Yet this year we will see jackson, finucane etc come through and slowly build back the juniours we were poached. No club can continually lose talent like sbw, mason, thurston, price, mataiu etc and just produce a team to win the title year in year out with out adding quality.

SKD wasn't wanted by the dogs it was a media beatup he is overrated and overpaid at 350k at the roosters. Lawrence is quality and would of loved the dogs to pick him up. Juniour or not.

Wait a minute, aren't the Dogs the ones raiding Manly of their coaching ranks and soon to be players as well? The last player we signed from the Dogs was Koupartisas and only cause he wasn't getting a run there and we were short on players. If you can claim we "bought" Tasi well he was as bought as any of your players. None of those are from the CB area and you know it.

I don't see why the argument? Surely as long as clubs are developing players for the League of suitable talent that is the most important thing? Expecting clubs to be made up of 75% local jnrs is unrealistic in the modern game with a salary cap. The whole countries workforce is more transient and even more so with generation i, why would we expect RL to be any diffferent?

All the more reason for the NRL to be centrally funding jnr development imo.

Spot on. Doggiesbro is an expert at firing up pointless arguments with others. Got halfway through another thread where he was blueing with storm-hi and fell asleep..... very monotonous shit. Imo the salary cap is responsible for all the poaching of players. Leaves us in a very healthy situation where practically any team could challenge for the comp next year given a good run of luck and lack of serious injuries. Even the bookies dont have a clue with odds of about 8 to 1 the field (very open). Good luck to the Roosters with $BW. If the forum is anything to go by then that sort of money will be justified just through all the extra publicity and bums on seats he will generate.

Another good constructive post from Red. Agree with your comment.

The only reason the Dogs are now raiding Manly is because there is no available talent off contract from the Broncos. ;-)

Kousparritsas isn't even a Dogs junior so I'm not even sure why he's being made mentioned in this thread.

Von - And Bennett has his hands tied so he can't help them with their recruitment...

I cop jokes from bronco mates all the time and fair enough, least ill put my hand up and say yep once we were raided till all we had was a nsw cup squad we had to go recruit and that ment we signed a heap of bronco players at that time. Unlike you lot who won't face that your club is the biggest poaching club there is. At least there was one rooster fan who admitted it just before that your club is the worst. Shame the rest of you ignored it. LOL.

Also no we haven't signed a single manly player. What's the point of speculation? We may sign noone from them.

You may sign another 2 to go with JWH and Tasi.

As for the coach yeh thats true we signed him, didn't realise Brian Smith wasn't the roosters coach anymore.

It's because you f**king cheated, paying cap-breaking overs for everyone eventually things started to crack, all your best players bailed on you because you couldn't pay them as much, and you haven't produced a single player of note since. That's why.
