NRL 360 + other footy shows

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

Anyone who doesn't watch NRL360 and posts in the NRL360 thread is a even bigger imbecile.

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

Which hooker was on the market you say ?

700? How the f**k do you know that? Starling would have been my pick.

 

[hineyrulz]

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)

His defence is pretty decent and running game quite good but his service is average and so is his ball playing ability. He’d be a very good 14.

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.

Robson would of been my choice. I’ve rated him since he was at the Dragons.

Right, so the Mahoney shit show was happening in Oct/Nov 2021 and you would have signed Starling who was just arrested for the second time ?

Tom Starling is again in trouble with the law and the latest incident could have ramifications not only for his future, but that of fellow Canberra hooker Josh Hodgson.

Robson signed a 4 year deal with the Cows in 2020. So he wasn't actually on the market, right ?

We all know contracts aren’t the paper they are written on FFS

Hogdson was still not the best option IMO, hopefully he’s medically retired otherwise he’s a cripple noose around our necks for the next two years.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

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.

f**king no chance. The difference is demand would be significant.

There was an article that suggested he wanted out and was offered to the eels.

update:


The Telegraph reports, North Queensland offered up hooker Reece Robson in a potential swap deal, but the Tigers rejected the move.

As mentioned earlier, Robson has two more seasons to go on his contract, however he has also been shopped to the Eels for 2023 as a replacement for Reed Mahoney.

f**king no chance. The difference is demand would be significant.

Sources say our first offer to Mahoney was 450k, obviously we didn’t rate him that highly or we just thought he’d happily re-sign whatever we offered him.

Either way it was dumb.

Him and Verrills were rumoured to be options floated to replace Mahoney, both would of been better options than Old Man Hodgo.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

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.

It doesn't make sense that the offers would be close. Those making that claim are just trying to destabilise the club.

$450k is within the range of what he is worth. $600k at the top. On his current form he is worth no more than $500k. What's he worth with a chronic, recurring shoulder injury? We don't have all the information, but we have more than Canterbury, plus we are less desperate. Why would we let them force us to overpay? You never run into cap trouble by not signing players.

Lol, just lol. So Mahoney is only worth 50k-100k worth more than Hodgson?? Once again shit canning a player who hasn’t even left the club yet. I’ll say it again massive fan lol.

 

[emjaycee]

I used to wonder why the Dogs still haven't officially announced Rheed's signing for 2023.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

His form is way down, and at his best he isn't half the player Hodgson was at his best. Hodgson is still a better player. The only doubts are over his availability.

Hodgson is still a better player?????

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Based on his most recent form compared to Mahoney's he is.

What hobbling off after 5 mins in round 1??? Hodgson was pretty average last year and was outplayed by Starling most weeks.

Mahoney was much better last year than Hodgson it wasn’t even close,dig up all the BS stats you like.

And saying he has a chronic shoulder problem is also disingenuous. He came back early from a shoulder injury that wasn’t fully healed always with the chance he could re-injure it. Cleary had the identical injury and if he went on the open Market I don’t think it would affect the bidding war for him.

They might be waiting to see what happens with Hodgson’s contract with us and go all out for his services. He’s apparently still a much better player than Mahoney………….
