talking of a hooker, what is Marshall-Kings service like?

He could be a cheapie to add to the squad for next year. Looks to be going ok, in the dogs games I have watched. And obviously no where near Mahoney class, but his running / defence stats are better then Mahoney this year so far (averaging 70 metres, defending at 94% 2.3 TB)

I think he's been going OK this year (and last year) in a team that genuinely have little idea how to go about scoring points. Picks his moments to run nicely. As I say, not hard to stand out in that Trainwreck of a side but he looks capable....

Yeah that is what I noticed watching the dogs that he was one of their better players. But his stats also show he is up there with the better hookers to start the season.

interesting to see if he hold this form for the year.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Not really. Most people were saying at the time of his signing that it was a dumb due to his knee and shoulder injury history as well as his age.

Yeah. I’m not sure it’s a great signing but there aren’t too many options out there.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Considering that Reed got circa $750k from Gus ($100k over us), I reckon we would have secured Josh H for half that.

I don't think there was great demand for Hodgson.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yeah. I said as much last year. Tough call I know as Gutho is great but I think we’d have an easier job finding a decent replacement for him compared to Mahoney imo.

As a player yes, but Gutherson's leadership might be irreplaceable in the context of our group.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

^^^^ He will earn north of $800,000 for 2021 but will have to accept a heavy pay cut from 2023, possibly agreeing to a new deal worth about $400,000 a year. Parramatta’s offer would be expected to span two seasons.

Hodgson will be 33 years old during the 2023 season but is highly regarded by Parramatta’s coaching staff.

Why would he possibly have to take a pay cut with so many clubs throwing huge money at him? Surely he'd rather retire than earn another $800k over two years ffs

And yet our club were the only ones unaware of it and agreed to pay him what he was on at 29? Maybe he told them he was 29???

We were obviously aware of it but we were the only ones desperate enough to sign the injury prone geezer.

 

[hineyrulz]

Hind(y)sight right there.

I called it last year he was injury prone and well past it, then he does his knee again.

Hardly Hineysight, more like common sense.

And I agree with Guts Gutho was the most replaceable out of our spine and as soon as he and his manager wanted to play silly buggers again I would of made him take or leave our offer. It was more than fair.

But by the looks we only offered him 50k less than what we originally offered Rheed. 400k is still massive overs for an age old pensioner coming here in a Walker.

[Soren Lorenson]

I see under that tweet that Gus has refuted the suggestion that the Bulldogs haven't yet registered Kik's contact.

 

[Gary Gutful]

You definitely need someone who is vocal at the back during games, but I think the combined leadership of Mahoney, Moses, Paulo and RCG is sufficient off the field.

Gutho lost me a little last year with that repeat of his contract bullshit. Selfish and bad leadership.

We already had the challenge of playing away from home (which we didn’t handle as well as other clubs). I think it was a factor that contributed to our shit period around August.

 

[strider]

So is Drown on the poo poo list too? ... he only re-signed for 1 yr ... he has talked union, big coin, etc during contract negotiations in the past - and i imagine might happen again

It happens with most players .... its the process ... i dont know how harshly we should judge them

 

[Gronk]

Well there are two issues here. The first is being unable to match the desperate offer by the Dogs. The second is our need for an experienced hooker to fill the void. Mitch Rein aint gunna cut it as first choice 9 for a contender.

How much experience do you need at 9 when we have the experienced Moses and Gutho already in the spine? Even D Brown will be at around 75 games. A young hooker like Starling, Robson or Verills would have been a better option than a busted Hodgson.

 

[Twizzle]

According to TCT (I think it was) we were outbid by $200K for Rheed, wasn't even close.

He wanted to stay but apparently, his dream is to set up his own gym and the new contract with the Dogs will allow that to happen quicker.

OK so matching the Dogs offer of $700k+ is silly ? At least we agree with that.

Which hooker was on the market you say ?

Anyone that regularly watches nrl 360 is a bigger imbecile than kent and that other jibberer paul crawley
