Rumoured Signings 2014

[Miller was a legend]

Fifita - dogs is a done deal

Canberra have offered glen Stewart 650 and will more than likely go.. Stewart is currently on 850 at manly!

Done deals require signatures. Including the club making the offer

 

[Nice Beaver]

Both of those numbers are crazy. G Stewart is average to good at beat these days, and an injury liability

If Glen Stewart is on $850k this season, as mentioned in here previously, you can bet your bottom dollar he was on low amounts the other years of the contracts.

Back ended deals are SHITE. Should not be allowed.

He will be out of Manly at years end, you can count on it.

 

[POPEYE]

About time Glenn was sent to Melbourne to join Rosie

 

[whall15]

Fifita will be on a four year deal according to Triple M.

 

[BranVan3000]

And keeping Graham apparently :crazy:

 

[Stagger eel]

Manly is in serious salary cap pressure, they back ended contracts and as said before they pay their top 17 very well, injuries on these older players is impacting on 2nd tier contracts

Most clubs end up paying for their success , and Manly are paying for their good years as these contracts are still in play

A parting gift from Dessie I hear... Lol

And keeping Graham apparently :crazy:

So next year will be something like:

Tolman
Ennis
Graham
Fifita
Pritchard
Eastwood

Kasiano
Williams
Jackson
Finucane/Klemmer/Mbye/Lichaa

A player or two have to go. They simply won't fit

That's a $4m+ pack. Are they all living in an Oasis?

If they each lost 20kg they might fit onto the park... Thats a f**king huge pack.

You shouldn't be able to back end contracts or at the very least it should be severely limited. Otherwise it's just a way to go over the cap for a year essentially (even if you pay for it later).

 

[carlosthedwarf]

Des will play Williams & Fifita in the halves

Cronulla have done the back ended contracts for a while,Lewis is heavilly back ended like wise Gallen,throw in the Tigers paying for players the last few years.
This was probably a big hurdle to overcome in trying to resign Fifita,and fit the other players in now the Tigers are no longer topping up their players contracts.

I've got no doubt a lot of clubs do it but i'm just not a fan of it really.

 

[The Elephant In The room]

DCE, Hayne, Thurston and SBW --> Bulldogs for 2015. Plus expect an announcement about a new centre pairing in the next day or so (hearing it will be GI and Lyon).

 

[aqua_duck]

Heard they were going after Matt Scott, James Tamou, JWH, Ben Matulino and George Burgess as Des feels like they need to boast their prop rotation

 

[Paullyboy]

If there's one thing I've learnt as a raiders fan, props are the the most replaceable players on the park. There are the occasional exceptions, but generally having 3 or 4 rep props just hurts your salary cap more than anything else.

Your forwards who turn soft as butter in big games over the past years are why you haven't been contenders

 

[Paullyboy]

No it's not, playmakers are what win big games. Big props are done a dozen as Melbourne, manly and the roosters haven proven repeatedly.

 

[LMJF]

Yeah I don't know why the Bulldogs are looking for Fifita, it's a fullback they need

 

[ek999]

Currently chasing 6 of them apparantly
