Rumoured Targets 3

[Burwood]

Offer the Bulldogs to pay out 100% of Klemmer's cap value. He'd be worth forking the money out for and their club might be happy to fully offload one high value contract rather than heavily subsidising 2-3 other players.

None of the other Bulldogs players mentioned I'd want to pay more than 50% of their contract for.

I honestly don't think any of those Dog's players are worth more than 50% of their 2018 salaries so of course they will have to cover around half if they find new clubs.

That's around 500k for Graham, 750k for the Morris boys, and how much for Eastwood and Mbye? So the Dogs would potentially be forking out 1.8 mil+ just to move them on.

Go hard for Klemmer. Real hard, they'll crack

Man I'd like either or both of the Morris twins, but I think Brett should be the preference.

He would be a first choice winger and probably second choice fullback behind Ponga.

It's reported that mbye and Eastwood are both on 800k. Eastwood is apparently quite happy to play reserve grade rather than move on and take a pay cut, and he's quite within his rights to do that. Don't blame him at this stage in his career.

Foran is rubbish and has been for some time. Outplayed by Lamb on the weekend.

 

[Caped Crusader]

Either of the Morris boys would be good on $400k. We need an experienced centre/winger/fullback so they'd fit the bill nicely

My preference would be to get Josh and leave Skids on the wing. We need hight and size out there

 

[Yosh]

One of the Morris brothers would be amazing. I'm not too sold on Blair but hopefully he does well here but if we pick up one of the Morris boys and have him line up with SKD on one side, that's a premiership winning combo, if it was 2010. However, I'm much more excited to sign a Morris bro over Blair...

Is there a reason we're going Blair over Graham? I'm going to assume Graham would be on less coin here if he did come over Blair.

 

[Jono078]

I'm not a fan of bringing Blair in.

I'm just not sure what Blair we would get and if he would be a good influence on the young guys.

I think he's very durable and offers a bit of an x-factor as a forward, but I feel like he will be the fail signing out of the bunch.

I suspect the only reason is concerns on whether Grahams body can last. He was a top targe before his neck injury. If he could prove he is still in good shape he would be the preference.

 

[Burns]

Graham is in a different class to Blair, would rather we direct our efforts towards him. In an amusing sort of way, do we want to sign the England vice captain, or the NZ captain?

 

[slotmachine]

I'd prefer Lillyman to Blair.

 

[Burns]

I'd prefer Lillyman to Blair.

Graham + Lillyman > Blair = Success!

 

[Spot On]

I couldn't entertain the thought of Lillyman at all.

 

[PhilGould]

According to Pete Badel, Warriors are offering Blair $700k per season and I've seen other reports saying it would be a 4 year deal. Also he says another club has offered $1.8m over 3 years. Would think that would be us.

 

[slotmachine]

What a circus the Warriors are. Blair will fit in nicely.

 

[Johns Magic]

Gee I hope we don't match them

 

[Pedge1971]

4 years is too much. 2 about right.

Lillyman looked old on the weekend.

Well that's a no brainer for him. Sign on the dotted line.
