Strong backline, morris boys, hoppa, rona and maybe lafi. Close to the best back 5 in the comp, they ate losing strike in their pack though and halves are questionable plus they probably wont be able to match large offers for mbye

The dogs for mine play an old fashioned type of football. They won't be winning anything anytime soon.

Looks like Tim Grant could be heading to you guys next season.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Do we even need him?

 

[Obscene Assassin]

Souths would be paying a bit of his salary which would probably mean that both clubs are able to have him in their second tier. Always good to bring in an experienced prop like Grant on a low salary.

Letter off offer? So no contract was signed then?

 

[Bigfella]

If it's anything less than a contract for execution or executed reflecting final agreed terms and subject only to being submitted, the club may well be on a stronger position that the original reports pointed to.

The other issue is that it seems to be hoppas side doing all the leaking.

I think we've handled it reasonably well after the initial debacle.

I certainly think it's fair to say that since the Foran and hoppa original blunders - we have been much more impressive off field.

Have to say you have been more positive lately !! Very impressed !!!

Yeah isnt the letter of intent the same as what was withdrawn with Fifita ?

Maybe seffa is leaving

Poor spine. Morris is ok but really a winger not a play maker. Reynolds is good but not really a player maker. Other two inexperienced and haven't proved they can lead a side yet.

We sacked the right employee by the looks of it.

 

[Bigfella]

It looks that way doesn't it?

And a few individuals probably took note and smartened up, and some better systems went in, presumably

 

[strider]

yeah I'd say a few people woke the f**k up

 

[yy_cheng]

who appointed him again?

 

[Gronk]

Hopoate’s manager Tyran Smith is now in discussions with Parramatta officials about a compensation payment of up to $500,000.

Tyran: We'd like $500,000 please.

Eels: lol

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

This is probably the most compelling endorsement of our chances in 2016 on LU. Baz is nothing if not eminently grounded when it comes to expectations for our club so we are probably in fair shape if he is willing to project a potential Top 4 spot

Thanks 40. It's the first time I think we've had a credible chance of Top 4 spot in many years. At the very least I can have an optimistic summer without having to tell myself huge fibs

Hayne no longer a 49er. Hope no one bought a jersey?

There goes my Top 4 prediction, imagine what it'll either do to our salary cap, or to the Chooks' roster

Buzz: Bulldogs to sign Will Hopoate after Eels withdraw $2m offer
October 31, 20158:30pm

Phil Rothfield
The Sunday Telegraph

CANTERBURY are poised to swoop on State of Origin winger Will Hopoate.

Hopoate is a free agent following the decision by Parramatta to withdraw a $2 million letter of offer for the next three seasons.

The NRL would not register the deal ($630,000 in 2016, $660,000 in 2017 and $690,000 in 2018) because it would have broken the Eels’ salary cap.

So what is it buzz, did we withdraw or was it because the NRL would not register the contract ?

make up your mind

Hopoate’s manager Tyran Smith is now in discussions with Parramatta officials about a compensation payment of up to $500,000.

up to ?

so in other words you have no idea what compensation they are asking for

Meanwhile, Bulldogs coach Des Hasler has his chequebook poised.

yeah, Des always pays the player's wages out of his own personal check account

Hopoate would play *either fullback, wing or centre at Canterbury. We’re hearing that the Bulldogs may have to *release veteran winger Sam *Perrett from the final year of his contract to fit Hopoate under the cap.

so just about anywhere in the back line ??

thanks for clearing that up
