Rumoured / Confirmed Signings

Did I hear correct that the Stinking Stains are offering Guthbo a FOUR YEAR contract?

If they have then they are madder than I already thought
3 year. If his body holds up its not too bad a signing, if it follows the trajectory it's been heading the last couple of years there'll be further pain.

Arn't Guthbo's knees fur hucked already. I believe he wasn't even able to train towards the end of the season.

Crikey it's a big risk, a multi year contract.

Gutho gets around the field on a Zimmer frame.
How the pharque does anyone think he’s got 3 years left?

Cook, Holmes and Gutho all at once uplifts the Dragons in 2025. 26/27 would be the concern but Flanno might not be there if he doesn't make it work so what does he care? Moving on Lomax and Hunt two guys who have been vocal in their whinging - especially since Flanno started leaking shit is ballsy. Credit to Flanno they are better today then when he walked in.

Tricky and Flanno Sr would be the worst fit personality wise. 100-1 of happening.

Announce Nikora, McInnes and Tricky. Then look at Wilton/Ronnie.

Yeah I sort of think they are in a better position with who they have signed then who they have let go. For someone who can hardly get around the field, gutherson always seems to be able to do a number on us. I’m not saying lomax or hunt are bad players, but neither wanted to be there. They needed experience and now have it in droves. Still a few players short but so are most clubs.

On Tricky.

That Dargon stooge Michael Chamois, reported on the “footy talk podcast” today that the sharks “appeared to have” offered Tricky a deal of 700k per year.

Good money Trick, if true.sign the contract.

Or maybe MC a Flange media plant???
All the way Sladomir!! No doubt at all in this withered mind

I heard that and thought exactly the same - I reckon with Hunt gone, Flanno might be about to throw the kitchen sink at Tricky.
Even if he doesn’t land him, he’ll be happy to drive up the price we have to pay.
Maybe, but he needs someone for 2025. Can't see Fitz letting Tricky go early. Can't see Fitz letting anyone of note going early from now. The Sharks have done their cull I reckon.

I’m not getting into a bidding war for Tricky.

He is solid but love it or hate it we have committed to Nicho in the half’s long term and I’m not 100% sold on Tricky play style next to him.
The $700+ figures floating around are too big a risk imo.
$550-$600k is the absolute limit I’d go.

Would the NRL register a contract for Tricky at $550-$600k though? They don't put a value on a player till a contract is submitted for review and I reckon they'd value him higher.

The Sharks might backend him.

Make it 1 year extension to prove it works should get passed the NRL and gives him the option to prove he is a $800k player

If Trindell goes elsewhere for the stupid money, then that’s the way it is. His choice really and we win. If he was to bail post his antics off the field and the club positively manoeuvring that mine field for all and sundry, then he’s got shit for brains

It will be a very interesting season ahead with regards to the playing squad

I think we’re gonna see some popular names shipped out as we just can’t afford to keep them all

There’s no chance we don’t re-sign Tricky.
I can see DA to Dargs immediately though.

I reckon they would....it would practically double his current contract. My biggest concern is Flanno offering overs for Tricky and or Brit. He's gotta have some coin up his sleeve after offloading Hunt but a good chunk will go on Gutho. Roosters are a bit of a concern too considering the cattle they've lost. Will be interesting to see how much loyalty some of these guys show to us should they field some bigger offers. Would still back Mooney and Fitz to keep the players they want though we're bound to lose a couple of second teir guys.
