Rumoured Signings 2013

[Delboy]

Cant see where this story comes from, almost zero chance of Hayne leaving Parra, particularly for Penriff.

Of course the Dogs can throw the sink at him, as they have the most flexible celery cap in existence. If they retire Turner, then they creates space for Hayne,Tim Grant,Cam Smith and cash left over

 

[franklin2323]

Hayne's a ball playing fullback, not a traditional one. I can see why people would think he'd add to the lack of creative ball playing options currently in the team.

He'd be an incredibly good signing.

Don't get me wrong he's a great player. However we have Kingston off contract (should probably let him go), we have makeshift hookers at Windsor. Have the worst halves pair in NRL. Makeshift halves at Windsor.

So that's where we should spend the money.

We are undefeated in U16's, U18's. barring injury will finish top 4 in the NYC. We need to lock up some of those kids for the next 3-4 years. You make an exemption for the best player in the world in JT.

We will probably need 5-10 1st graders after this year. So I can't see the need to go after a big name signings outside of half and hooker

Why should you let Kingston go?

 

[Tommy Smith]

So i read today that the Eels are on the verge of signing Corey Norman to a 400k-a-year deal.

That'd be amazing for someone who might not even be a 1st Grader.

 

[DoggiesBro]

Hayne is one of the games best players.

He would be a great buy for any club. Though I hope he stays at Parra, would look wrong in any other jersey and seriously just would kill that club.

Barba will be back for Dogs, people wishful thinking getting in the way.

We play on channel 9 this week. Watch his quality passes and lack of a running game. We were 10000% better when Segeyaro came on, not just the fancy stuff but the basics. Not one overhead or passes at the feet when Kingston was off

 

[Brutus]

Barba - Broncos

Dugan - Dogs

After 2013..

Has he gone down hill since you first signed him? I just wonder if he would be a welcome addition back to Parra.

 

[natheel]

Kingston IMO is not a starting hooker. He is a utility player off the bench

 

[Armageddon.]

Josh Dugan looking at McDonalds and Bricklayer jobs.

Precisely, he was brilliant off the bench in 2009. The combination of Keating/Kingston seemed to work very well.

 

[Charlie124]

Josh Dugan looking at McDonalds and Bricklayer jobs.

He wouldn't actually be hired at McDonalds anymore, full sleeve and visible neck tattoos are a no no there (at least they are now, not sure about existing employees).

Back then maybe now he's just too slow. He's one of those players that quality dropped very quickly. Wesser was the same a very small peak

 

[franklin2323]

Yeah very much so. The last 2 years he has really dropped off. Now he just has great defence. Service slow and doesn't run it.

Hearing Gold Coast to make play for Dugan. Don't be surprised if Brisbane sniff around as well, particularly if Norman joins eels

 

[The Elephant In The room]

If they are talking 2013 for Duuuuuuuuuuuges, does that mean 2013 for Norman as well (if Duuuuuuugs goes to the Broncs)? Can't get my head around the supposed $400k/yr offer for Norman. Massive overs.

What a shame. Was a big fan of biscuit.

I don't see why we would need him. At centre maybe but he's not going to come to us unless he is going to be our first choice five eight. And I'm more than happy with Luke Kelly.

Iam hearing Will Hopoate already being shopped around by his manager.
