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.
266k for pathetic Hodgkinson is massive overs..[wouldn't start @ any other club] DE$$IE only came for $$$ and doesn't rate Barba, your so called best player who can't tackle or catch a bomb..who else from Manly with a brain would want to play for the Dogs 2012 spooners??

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?

Salary cap concessions should be given to clubs who develop local juniors or whose players show long term loyalty

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.

Jamal Idris ? Leading try scorer of the year Ben Barba? Better then any rooster player by 10000x hell the two best roosters players just bailed and one was from the dogs the next raiders.

The roosters finished below the dogs. That makes the roosters closer to the spooners hell if the titans and eels weren't so horrible all year you would of been the spooners for sure. Fail troll.

Also i'd take Hodkinson on 240k then Pearce on 400k anyday of the week. Won't even get into SKD on 350k LOL.

Jamal Idris is a useless fat merkin and Barba...get back to me when he makes a real rep team.

: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.

I never said Tasi or JWH weren't from Manly. Thanks anyway for that random fact.

Although if you want to get really technical Tasi is actually from Ipswich (an affiliated junior club of the Roosters). Signing him and his brothers really wasn't that hard given our connection with the place... nothing wrong with getting juniors from the club you're putting money into.

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.

Is it? I'll ask the same question again that I asked in the other thread and was conveniently ignored by you.

Why in 2009 did the Bulldogs try to get the rule that 75% of HM squads have to be local juniors reduced?

I have my own opinions on this but I'd love to hear yours.

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.

Well considering you're not winning any titles (not even making the top 8) "signing quality" what's the excuse for not producing talent?

Signing Frank Pritchard, Aiden Tolman, James Graham & Greg Eastwood in the space of 2 years does not reflect a team who is looking to produce and retain young talent.

I do love how when the Bulldogs sign multiple players it's 'adding talent' but when the Roosters do it it's 'poaching'. :lol:

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.

Ask Todd Greenberg if he was, he'll be open about it. They put an offer to SKD, he wont tell you how much but it was more than the Roosters.

How long till the school holidays are over anyway?

I don't think anyone outside the selectors thinks Idris is anything more than a fat useless merkin.
