Preparing for 2020...

[Defer to the coifed]

U can take a pay cut on your current contract, then sign an extension, with sign on bonus.

Bullshit. That means a club having to commit to a new deal they may not want or be able to afford considering a player won’t sign an extension just to get what is owed with nothing on top.

Is Jayden Brailey confirmed leaving yet? I'm not sure I've seen a club statement.

Can’t be announced. Knights still over cap.

Not bullshit. Sign ons are very normal. In fact, a sign on doesnt even have to be registered. You can be paid a sign on, & not actually sign. In fact, in fact, a manager can be paid a retainer spotters fee, for getting a sign on. Ricky still does it. Pomms are good for spotters fees.

Duges is contracted till the end of 2021. The club is playing away from home for 20 & 21. Funds will be down for a joint that already runs at a loss. Cap restrictions for 19 & 20 caps.

What makes you think Dugan will be resigned and that the club will have a war chest to pay him a "sign on" fee even if they don't contract him?

Good crop this year?

 

[Card Shark]

What makes you think

[Craigshark]

[snout]

Good luck to older brails, I think the clubs right in targeting junior.

 

[Frenzy.]

Quick, drop him, put him in the Gymea Gorillas, put him in the Coogee Wombats. DO something. We need to bite off our nose to spite our face. NOW

J. Brailey MUST NOT PLAY

Just getting in before he says it

 

[roboshark]

We are releasing more this year then long bay

 

[Card Shark]

Just getting in before he says it

Hahaha

 

[glenmoresharkie]

Sad to see him go but Blayke is the better one.

 

[Card Shark]

Can Blayke tackle in numbers?

 

[Weaponhead]

Neither Brailey has been great this year. Jayden tackles and shovels. Blayke runs a little more but hasn't looked threatening.

They seem like good kids. Hope they kick on, especially B2

 

[Card Shark]

Good assessment weapon.

Both are good players & on a par for the current stage of career imo.

The best coaching will see the best player develop imo.

Wonder if Brown will teach Jayden the head pass strategy

 

[Stake Removed]

Dugan wont be resigned.

Maybe end of this year for Dugan, Toronto will need a couple of name players they have money, Dugan is suited to Super League his body will handle it much better
