JAC

[Tigerm]

I reckon JAC is easily worth that money. I'd love to have him playing on the left wing for that money. He is a quality player.

Still I reckon Lee is 100% right. We can't play games with these players and their managers.

Though he could be playing the Bennett game, where No means Yes

I'd like that to be the case but it doesn't sound that way.

Agree, can’t see a head of a major legal firm telling porkies.

 

[stryker]

I can't believed the money being bandied around for JAC. It's not like he is some quality playmaker. At the end of the day he is just a scared little winger on the end of the Storm Machine. Needs people inside him to look good.

Scared?
He puts his body on the line as much as any forward.
Blinding speed, aggressive and makes shit happen.
Is easily a 600k player

 

[stryker]

It will be a huge kick in the guts if JAC goes to the dogs. I don't understand how he was willing to come to Tigers this year but now he has to wait until 2021 he wants to go somewhere else? Can't be due to money given we are offering him more?

He only used this club for leverage.
You don’t attract Kangaroo reps unless they are walking into an established team.

Yes, but the dogs came 2nd last, have got some new players, but they still need to click before anything will get going. Beside I don't rate Barrett.

So far this offseason the Tigers have offered targets who want a club change a price they think they are worth. They also seem not to budge if another club offers more. Like we could have offered JAC the Roberts money on top of what the offered JAC. They obviously are trying not to pay overs aswell as having to many large contracts at once.

With us still having Packer and Reynolds on the books its hard for them to do this. This offseason it seems like we have bought exprience for low value and when 2021 is over we can have a good shot at getting young players with potential who are stuck. Kinda like the Knights did getting rid of heaps of players then got Ponga and Bulldogs got rid of the likes of Grahem, tolmen, Foran and werr able to get both Cotric and maybe JAC.

But the Bulldogs seem like they are going to spend 1.4million on 2 wingers. They are good players but they havent got forwards now.

 

[Rhyno]

4 year deal to dogs

 

[Speedy Gonzales]

No loss imo but you have got to wonder who changed his mind about coming to us, apparently had a heads of agreement at all. Everything changed after origin

we need a dummy half (Liddle and Simpkins still unknown) and a #1 much more than a winger

This doesn't make sense. You gotta be rational dude. Canterbury are worse than us but they signed him.

It's really not then end of the world missing out on JAC, but it really does make you wonder how the f**k we missed out on him when the team that came 2nd last can beat us to a kangaroo level player for less money?

Likely reasons:

• They have promised him TPAs we simply couldn't match
• They haven't put any clauses around positional play in his contract
• Bulldogs have made the grand final twice in the last 10 years. Despite their poor ladder position they are a very well run club

As annoyed as I am, we will continue to be a club to which players expect overs until we start making finals.

Maybe because they have made the finals 9 times in the last 20 years including 3 grand finals? He probably thinks they have more chance of turning around then us.

I think it was purely money, from my understanding, our club puts a value on a player and won’t go over it, also I don’t think we do TPA’s, but we should?

LMAO. you heard the news and raced on here to have a crack at a post I made two weeks ago?
Pretty petty, if not gutless.
On topic, I was wrong. He signed with an unestablished team that have finished lower than us for three years running. That is surprising and doesn’t portray this club in a great light. We’ll see what his explanation is moving forward.

. Extra reason , He has already played for us and coaching and management treated him like a merkin and he doesnt feel the need to go through that again.

A lot of truth in this I suspect.

Actually they are a shambles worse than us on the field and at board level. Paying massive overs for two wingers. One that thinks hes a center and one who thinks hes a fullback.

Plus a new coach with not good credentials and a whole new coaching staff, will be interesting.

Exactly, I told you blokes weeks ago we weren’t getting him

 

[benched tiger]

Trent Barrett left Manly in a total mess and blamed everyone within the club bar himself,I rate him in the same class as Jason Taylor as a coach ,good luck JAC you will need it.
