[Blade23]

At this stage Taniela Otukolo won't be coming here. The clubs can't reach a deal for his release.

2024?

The salary cap's the same for everyone so every smart operators would put the pieces of the jigsaw in a similar way. Regardless there's more important things than results on a football field. It's the right thing to do to put the minimum wage floor up.

I don't think you'll get many in principal arguments against raising the minimum wage.

It's just that the NRL has completely missed the mark on the CBA negotiations. The Dolphins were admitted to the comp in October last year - the 2023 salary cap should have been set before Nov 1 last year. Poor bastards have been throwing blind the entire time.

I had a feeling that would be the case

Masked Panther reporting Crichton likely going to the Dogs. A month-watering official offer expected to be tabled soon from them.
Too hard to turn down.

Nick Politis got it right a couple of years ago when a certain centre wanted big money to play fullback
He didn't enter a bidding war.

Turuva must get significant game-time next season.

I could’ve sworn I told you 2 wks back but you wanted to be a smart a#%£ about it

 

[Smug Panther]

Like I've said with Edwards improvement with the ball we have no place for Critter.

 

[Murraymob1]

Losing Crighton should mean we keep lenie the money put aside for Crighton will now be free
This could also point to the dogs not getting Moses from the eels

 

[Buzzard Breath]

If it turns out to be true I don't think most of us will be surprised. Everytime his name has come up in the press the past 6 weeks, he has been heavily linked there.
Blade said it a month ago, it will only be a matter of time before he takes up the big money deal to play his long-term goal of Fullback. Either now or next contract. Why wait. Careers can be cut short.

He has achieved two premierships here and wants to cash in. That is his choice. A gamble nonetheless.

It gives us a chance to freshen up the backline with some promising green shoots coming through. And having the funds to retain them. Something not possible if he stayed.

And we will get him back on the cheap when Gus does another cull

A huge gamble, When it fails then it is a learning curve in the future

Turuva would be front of the list but there is atleast 5 options

 

[Hooked]

If it comes true. What is the bet the Dogs announce it a day before our GF parade

Thought you said last week none of the MT Druitt boys would leave?

The article said he is expected to get an offer. So still has some to play out yet

Sorry mate been saying for weeks it’s already done. The rest is just media BS

What is to gain from not announcing it though?

Good question this part of the game I dont understand. I was told over a fortnight ago, Ayoub told my journo friend, the deal at Dogs is done the amount is agreed, what gets paid on and off salary cap was being finalised so prob that part mate is being finalised
