I am glad we did not get Doueihi and I am not sure how he would have gone at lock. Within a year either Dylan Egan or Jacob Halangahu may surpass him. The same way that LKT surpassed Elias. Furthermore, I really had not seen that much of Doueihi. He had one great performance in yonks last weekend and that was that.

But there is a lesson in Doueihi offer that we must work it out. Doueihi was initially offered 1 year 350k by tigers. We offered him 500k for 2 years. Doueihi was then extended 1 more year. If all this is true (what is reported), Doueihi throw away 300k over 2 years. At his level and age throwing away 300k is big money. In Tigers case he cannot stick to "oh I am going to win the comp with Tigers". This cliche has got too old now. It only worked for Cooper Cronk and few elite players before him. So seriously what is happening here.

Our team has to learn the art of deal making. Work out what makes other teams even bottom dwellers like Tigers more attractive at 150k less a season. We have a lot of young guns coming up. they need to be strengthened with couple of astute buys. Then we can talk finals and winning the comp.

Kerr is a good signing,now more experienced and has been going ok at the Dolphins.
A good addition to our younger forwards coming through.
Ok but we deserve at least one sexy signing.

Just one.

We are always bargain basement hunting or going after value players, that's fine but every glass of milk needs a Tim Tam slam to go with it now and then.

Great to see Flanno's extension. In the past two years, we haven't signed one marquee signing. At least McGregor could attract a few. Missing out on Adam Doueihi is another rejection. Soon, we could form a virtual 13-man squad that could be a top-8 team with all the rejections.

What chance we can shake Paul Alamoti from the Panthers tree??
He is still contracted with them for a while but much to good to be playing reserve grade. Now a premiership player.
I'd like to see us go for the best.

AKP, Stonestreet, and C Stewart.
Go after these guys and see what we can land.

Hamlin-Eule worth a good looking at too.

I like Alamoti.

Tough, no nonsense, very consistent player and proved last year he can perform on the big stage...

Xavier Coates is a number 1 priority for Dragons signing long term to cover any position in the back 3.

But we didn't sign his mates
i think a data set of Kerrs last 43 Dolphins games is a fair way to assess Kerr vs the smashathon that the Roosters dished out on the wknd

I reckon we would not have agreed to more than $350k is pa for two seasons. Max $400k pa

He has a role we need and we have a small pool to circle in
