Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

[BxTom]

Do some reading about how the cap works

So you would rather sign these never have beens than invest $60k in our own juniors as development players? I suggest that YOU read the salary cap before commenting next time.

It’s not f**king 1980 anymore, doing an acl doesn’t ruin careers these days.

Depends on the athlete. Tyrone May isn't the same since his injury 3 odd years ago and he was still a teen when it happened.

Others mostly bounce back, but they are never quite the same.

The 5 development players (or is it 4 I forget) are separate from the top 30 so you do have to fill those spots still though a debate could be had over these experienced guys on likely $200k - $300k Vs Juniors on minimum $100k.

Gotta weigh up managing the cap and not being the Broncos of 2020 who failed due to losing their experience.

Keep Spencer
Keep Burton
Keep Luai
Keep Crichton

Let Naden and May walk.
Edward's is a tough one. Caus whe wont cost a bomb and would be good value for money.

Not gonna lie I don't actually mind that although I do recognise the value both Naden and May bring but I'd happily lose May before the others on that list.

Remember a development player can not play till mid year .No point them taking a cap space or money.We can have 6 of them on top of our 30 spots

Exactly so you can't use them as top 30 replacement. You can upgrade them to full time but of course your depth is extremely inexperienced then.

Thanks for clarifying the number.

Development players only cost $60k. I'd rather give our own juniors a go than players that we AND other clubs didn't want.

Development players can’t be in the top 30.

The minimum for the top 30 is $110k.

All I’m saying is signing those two guys hasn’t cost us any money to spend on Crichton. Assuming they’re on the minimum.

 

[martielang]

Gees a lots happened on here in the last couple of days.

I still wanted to argue about Mansour but.

 

[WestyLife]

Had a read through the dogs forum. They seem to have a grudge against us. Can't imagine why, never had a rivalry with them really and I have no issues with them taking the players that choose to leave. So far it seems they've done everything with respect as far as being up front about approaching players and the whole Barrett thing.

you need to have have 30 players and 6 development players. We have 24 counting those 2

@BxTom

Signing guys on minimum wage for our top squad increases how much we have to keep guys like Crichton, Luai, Leniu etc.

Rennings and Eisenhuth help our chances. We needed to fill our top squad and you literally cant do so for less than the minimum wage.

Development players have a different minimum wage but don't count toward filling the top squad. So you might not rate that experienced depth. But it wont hurt our odds at keeping anyone. They're smart signings for mine.

Let's not forget they stole our victory chant when Franky took it to the dogs and they continue to whinge and whine that we stole it from them.

They are a 'special ' bunch aren't they.

The same club would 12 months felt very assured that api was comming.

A month of so ago convinced that Charlie Staines would be donning their colours.

Didn't realise that was a point of contention. Kind of funny.

 

[Black Diamond]

There are some real dropkicks on The Kennel. Numerous are pretending they have inside mail. Like My brother in-law, who is Bulldogs supporter. Full of shit.
One in particular is going to troll us if they get Burton and Leniu. Some think we will be on suicide watch if we loss him. Yeah right.

Quite a few morons on there think they are getting Harry Grant and Chricton too.
1 or 2 sane voices but most of them are idiots. What a laugh it was going on there.
It has been all quite from the Bulldogs board recently. They must be due for another public spat.

Just had a read, they are a laughable lot, they get Barrett and they think they are getting half the Panthers squad.

they also think the salary cap is made out of elastic too.....you know like the Chooks one.

On the victory song. The funniest thing ever, some 'specials' then began to troll claiming that Penrith Panthers had 'STOLEN' their song.

Talk about 10 fingered discounters LOL

I’d be going after Kahu next for the same reason. Depending on price of course but there are a few guys around that fills depth out

 

[Blues Riff]

Ha ,let them borrow the victory song. They hardly use it.
