Flanno's New Signings

Can’t see it happening after Flanno said to the media when asked about him “you’d have to ask his manager because what I think he’s worth & what he thinks are totally different”
Fox and his manager might have a different view after today.... but im still confused about whether the bulldogs have to pay some/all of his contract...

The only way we pick him up imo is if he 'seriously' drops his value and settles for 2yrs.. I dont mind an extra year on a Gutho.. who we are basing our rebuild around.. but the Fox is a bit of an iffy purchase, we dont need him...

One negative about 2yr contracts though, is its literally 12mths and they r back on the open market.. but its the trade-off for keeping the roster nimble, and players hungry.

I wouldn’t touch JAC. Way too much baggage and his off field shenanigans are no good. Has zero integrity and even less brain cells. Let him go to Souths with the rest of the funky bunch
I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up at Pawwa. Sivo is gone, to ESL, and Ryles the new coach with Storm history between the 2 in the Melb system.

I'm 50/50 on signing him at way less than $850. It would be a decent backline with speed if:

1. Gutho
2. JAC
3. Holmes
4. Suli
5. Sloan

Wasnt he on $550k at the Dogs ? JAC is at the mercy of the market now, no way his manager plays hardball, plus I dont know if WB would be impressed with this whole saga. As you say Parra maybe but it wont be on his terms, might still be a chance if they lower their price to come to us, I'll let Flanno handle that one, :)

In the case of JAC, how can you trust him? He blatantly lied about not knowing how the coke was in his system. He wasn't transparent at all in the matter. There is no doubting his ability on the footy field and would be of some benefit for our team but we don't need this type of person at the club in my opinion.

In the case of May, again his character and credibility are questionable. For the Roosters to terminate him when he has been great for them on the footy field, he must have done some serious bad stuff. If the rumour is that he had slept with another player's woman, would that actually warrant dismissal? Anyway, I wouldn't take him as well. It would not be a case of just getting rid of him for that rumour to maybe try and sign Thompson. The Roosters should have enough in their kitty to have both May and Thompson.

The Dragons terminating Hunt on mutual grounds is a lot different to the terminations of JAC and May. We don't need problem players at the club.

Wayne seems quite ok with having Latrell in his team, who walked, let's say, a very similar "line".......just wasn't caught in the act by police.......
It's interesting how much leeway the marquee players get......

I totally agree DD.
You don’t buy problems, you get rid of them & that’s what builds good culture.
Our club needs to build with the right leadership and rid itself of the flogs and self entitled.
