Rumours and Stuff

[Poupou Escobar]

Come on guys, the past is less relevant than the future. And next year is looking pretty rosy for Parra.

 

[hineyrulz]

Do you think the Tigers can make the top 8?

*9

 

[hindy111]

Unsure what money we have left.
But assuming MJ will want 300-350 I would throw 750 at Latrell and wave goodbye to MJ

 

[Bandwagon]

Latrell is no doubt a huge talent, but it appears there's a bit of baggage there we could well do without. MJ may have lost a bit of speed, but he's still class. I think I'd rather MJ + 400k to spend elsewhere than Latrell at this point in time.

Sure if there is someone else available
Another prop would be good. But it also means they only play 35-40mins while Latrell gets 80....Unsure what other positions need filling unless we unloaded a guy and upgraded. Examples Arrow for Brown or Lane for Frizzel.
The top 13 looks a lock bar centre spot.

That may be, but it's worth remembering that you aint gonna be signing Latrell for a year, it'll be three years plus that you tie that money up for, and attack really isn't an issue for us across our current back line. I don't see Latrell as a better defender than MJ.

So even if that is so and there's nothing on the market now that improves us where we really need improvement ( middle defence ) , there'll be a lot of blokes coming off contract over that time that very well might.

Again though from the outside looking in Latrell seems to have some issues that make him a less attractive proposition off the field, and I reckon that should make us wary, at the Roosters he's not the biggest fish in the pond, but at Parra he would be, kinda like Hayne was. I could be way off, but I reckon he would be detrimental to our culture in a similar way.

 

[Avenger]

Hayne took all those spoons with him when he left.

With Hayne:
2006: 12 wins
2007: 13
2008: 11
2009: 12
2010: 10
2011: 6
2012: 6
2013: 5
2014: 12
2018: 6

No Hayne:
2005: 16
2015: 9
2016: 13
2017: 16
2019: 14

Come on Pou, the past is less relevant than the future. And next year is looking pretty rosy for Parra.

 

[Daniel Vella]

I wouldn't get rid of Jennings now. He's been playing very good for Tonga.

Easy MOM the other night.

Easy MOM the other night.

and Latrell was close to the worst on field...alongside DCE.

I don’t want him, but we’re also no chance of signing him for $750k anyway.

 

[hineyrulz]

Roosters offered him 800k and he was insulted. So I don’t think 750k will get it done.

 

[eel01s]

The Bulldogs are desperate for a marquee signing.

 

[Bazal]

You sound like a boomer. You judge people based on what they say on a discussion forum?

Lol @ Boomer.

You'd reckon Moses and Matterson were war criminals the way some Tiggers fans carry on. Pretty sad

 

[Joshuatheeel]

If we have $800k spare we don’t need to spend it on a centre to make our already pretty good attack better.

We should spend it on a quality / leader type forward ....

Yep. Our middle, whilst it doesn’t really have a particular weakness, could be improved so that either Alvaro or Kevans drop out of the starting side.

The Bulldogs are desperate for a marquee signing.

They also only have one more roster spot to fill for 2020.

 

[Glenneel]

No mate this is not about 2018. You said that remark 75% through the 2019 season (where we were safely in the top 8 for every round).

So what happened to turn you from having a negative to positive mindset ?

Show me then.

 

[Glenneel]

Is Gower the oldest player in NRL?
I DONT MIND him for depth. Good for 10 games a year

He'll fill out the NSW Cup team. Highly doubt he'll play NRL unless we have a really bad run with injuries.

Come on guys, the past is less relevant than the future. And next year is looking pretty rosy for Parra.

So did 2018 on 1 November 2017.
