For all we know Leniu may have already signed with us. Also, Addo-Carr will not have been a cheap signing.

that would have been announced and the dogs still have cash to splash.

I think it will end the Critta rumour because I don’t think they can afford to spend much more on their backline. They really need to concentrate on their pack now, Spencer definitely improves that.

Again the dogs aren't who we should be worried about

I’m developing a real dislike for Critta.
Yep. I'm at the point where I am not sure whether I would be more disappointed in signing him or losing him.

He's not worth the fuss.

JAC signed a 4 year contract for what Crichton isn't happy with being offered. A premiership winning rep player with more than a single season behind him.

I dont see how Crichton is worth more than him. 1 season hardly establishes a player as being worth millions. I kind of hope Tigers sign him on $750k and he flops like Mbye, Doeuhi, Reynolds, BJ etc. Just as it's hilarious how often they buy duds on overs

I'm disappointed in the months and months of bloody circus surrounding him......It's really starting to piss me off big time.

Cannot blame the WoESTS me Tigers, its all Ivan fault! remember? He bought a whole heap of players that they were quite happy to aquire and sign off on (Pascoe) Up until he wasnt there to coach them, coz they didn't want him to stay till the end of his contract, remember having a coach going elsewhere in later seasons is "UNTENABLE"
he wasn't even going til 2022, thats 3 years they could have come in at 9th, instead of madges 11th this year.... pfft

It's a short career, can't blame the kid for trying to set up his life.

We're also attempting to punt our most loyal player while under contract, if the club isn't showing loyalty to the players, why should the players show loyalty to the club? Like many have said re; Mansour, it's a business after all.

They where honest with Mansour. He prob can get a 2 yr deal right now. But if he stays and drops to NSW cup as told by coach he may not get an offer and be forgotten about.

Who have the Dogs signed?
I'd say both halves are cheap compared to what other clubs are spending on their halves. Most would be averaging 1.5mill. Dogs paid 300k for Flannagan and I guessing 550-600K for Burton.
Even if Cotric and JAC was 600k each. They also save on fullback and have a low paid hooker. I reckon they'd have a stack of cash to spend tbh. It is just where do they want to spend it?
I think 1.2mill on your wingers is silly.

I feel even if Flannagan and Burton are not super stars they are hardly a terrible cost.

If what Blade and Franklin have said about Critta not having any other real offers on the table is true(and I dont doubt them) then the only reason I can see for that is Critta hasnt seriously spoken to any other clubs. His manager is using the media to try and drive up the price it seems. Situations like Spencers concern me more, we have not heard anything about that from his manager or Spence or seen any of the speculative articles that we have seen for Critta.

For Leniu to stay he will have to knock back a massive deal from the Dogs. We won't be able to match it.

He wants 3, fkn greedy whinging pig, if he was an actual good player id have sympathy for him, even a little bit, but coz he isn't and just stays on his wing only, and then carried on like a kicked turd about nsw cup, like there's kids who aren't killing themselves to get a run in reserves, heres a 30+year old winger demanding coin. I cant wait till he is somewhere else and we use his last year as a bump up for Yeo and Luai

You forget the blight on our game, its not the rich struggling clubs like the dogs and tigers you have to worry about, its the sneaky fks in bondi that seem to poach our key rookies
Apart from Fittler, I'm struggling to think of any they've poached from us.
