Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

[Ned Kelly]

So the Sharks have told Woods he won't be playing for them next year.
Can we please PLEASE PLEASE NOT SIGN HIM.

 

[Ned Kelly]

Is there anyone on this forum who would be willing to set up a voting thingy where fans could vote yes, no or don't care to Woods returning to us?

 

[The Charlatan]

f**k Woods. He was meant to be the captain and instead of leading by example he bailed on us.

I'd love to see the merkin wind up in ESL to collect a paycheque. It is what it is.

 

[Tiger Ted]

I knew woods & his folks when they were living on Norton st Leichhardt & I’d b livid if we even considered signing the ingrate.The phoney should remove his 2040 Leichhardt postcode tattoo.

 

[Perth Tiger]

@The Charlatan worse than that, he was activate trying to get his teammates to sign elsewhere with him

 

[Das Hassler]

Woods would look about right in an eels jersey....if anywhere i hope he ends up there as there's no other club i dislike nearly as much

From Fox NRL:

DWZ’S PAY PACKET WAY OUT OF TIGERS’ LEAGUE

The Wests Tigers have confirmed an interest in Bulldogs back Dallin Watene-Zelezniak but the stumbling block is the $880,000 he’s on next year.

As good a player as DWZ is, Canterbury-Bankstown’s previous decision-makers have been completely done over on that deal.

If the Tigers can strike a price where they’re tipping in around the $400,000 mark, there’s a good chance the Kiwi Test captain will unite with the Kiwi Test coach in Michael Maguire.

If not, Canterbury-Bankstown will need to continue to stump up to make DWZ the highest-paid winger in the NRL.

He isn’t worth 400k.We’d better steer clear of him.We are 1st in Flegg & 2nd in NSW cup.Surely we have 1 or 2 decent outside backs in our ranks.

Love it if he was left without a club, his final presso would end with, “It is what it is mate”

Yeah it was about luring Tedesco over.

Would people be against Dufty and moving Laurie to five eight?

I like Dufty as a player and think Dragons are crazy to get rid of him. However I don't think Laurie has the playmaking or kicking game at the moment for 5/8. His strengths are kick returns and under the high ball so I'd leave him at fullback.

 

[simmo1]

I'd have a look at Shaun Johnson. Has some risk with his recent injuries but thought he was Sharks best player for most of last year.

I think having one small guy at fullback or 5/8 is fine but having two really small guys would be a struggle with our already poor defence

Duffy at 5/8, played all his junior football there.

Duffman's defence is on par with Darius Boyd in his Broncos swan song year. Laurie is streets ahead of him in that regard, despite how good Dufty can be in attack. I dunno why the Dragons don't just move him to the halves and punt Corey Norman into the sun.

 

[stryker]

We need speed. Duffy has it.
I don’t know much about him. Can he be transformed into a Shaun Berrigan type centre?

 

[Vozzy]

Johnson would do what MBye is doing with even more pace and would settle for half the price.

 

[Shredder]

I like the idea of Duffy at center as well.

 

[Old Time Tiger]

More movement in the office.
