Rumoured and Confirmed Signings and Crap IX

[natheel]

Tolman would be a good pick up but he would cost a bit for us to get him here compared to souths. And at the moment we can't afford splashing out more cash on just one player when we could just get 2-3 decent props

 

[natheel]

Some back rowers or props I think would be cheap and good additions

Mark Taufua
Junior Moors
Korbin Sims
Will Matthews
David Tyrell
Mitch Aubusson
Atelea Vea

These types of players would add good depth and experience aswell

Joel Thompson
Mitch Rein

These 2 would be straight into our pack and probably have to pay overs to get but Mitch rein will develop into a great hooker under Stuart and Thompson would add some grunt to our pack and some aggression too

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

Aubusson would be a good pickup along with the other main two you named.

 

[Craig Johnston]

our chances of signing any promising dragons players like rein or prior is buckleys and none. waste of time going there given the dragons cap space and their situation of needing to retain and recruit good players.

the only way any of their players could move is a motivation to leave the club. same way norman was motivated to get a better opportunity at 5/8th where he wants to play.

cam king is a more likely target.

Go after Rein, push up his price, then swoop in for King on the cheap. Sounds like a plan.

Dragons poor form and coach for 2014 still undecided would be a major factor in deciding whether to stay or leave.

if those were reasons, we'd have lost our entire squad by now

Parramatta Eels
The Eels are another team struggling for stability, this time at Wing’s favourite position, five-eighth. While he may not be a long-term solution, Wing would help develop young Eels such as Luke Kelly, as well as bring a touch of class to a side that has needed just that in most spots on the park.
The Eels are always in the hunt for a superstar (or so it seems) and don’t be surprised to see Wing linked to the team sooner or later.

Schubert will lose some power

I am told that the absolute power of salary cap commissioner Ian Schubert will be reduced in the next nine months.

Clubs often whinge that Schubert is jury, judge and execution when it comes to cap issues and they have no recourse if they disagree with his decisions.

That's about to change. An appeals committee and review process is in the works.

good

too late for us though now and the Dogs will benefit from this again

Incredible that its taken since the NRL was formed to get this

Anyone know when all the backended huge overpaid contracts are ending? Remember the talk about it last year.

I'd take Wing for the rest of this season.

He could not be a worse 'backup hooker' option than we currently have.

it never ends mate .... remember the snowball effect? .... every coach can blame the one before - and every coach for the rest of parra's existence can hang endless shit on Hagan and Ando - it's just how it is ffs

 

[Parra Pride]

We don't need wing, we just need to bide our time until Kaysar is fit to go.

Ah yes the old snowball effect. But seriously some of the guys in the know were telling us all about the ridiculous dollars some players were on. I'm just wondering when it's all going to be freed up. I don't know who the players are.

I suspect it's not true and it was the usual suspects talking shit.

I think it was the end of 2013 but I think that has now been delayed until the end of 2015 :sarcasm:

No no no no no...

You think Wing is a worse option than a park footballer in Smith? Even a one hundred-year old Wing is better than Smith (and Keating, for that matter).

This!
