SBW in negotiations with the dogs

oh geez loudstrat, sign you up...a future in comedy awaits

just that people are questioning our cap when we have (realistically) perhaps 1 borderline aussie team whereas teams like the broncos/melbourne are full of them. questioning us being over the cap is ridiculous

Except you signed Brisbane's pack last year.

And jealous opposition fans will say " SBW is a dog. Our club doesn't need or want him! Our club has morals! "

And I shall lol.

Well, I for one hope that the Roosters do not look to sign him should he ever return to Rugby League.

It's not because I am upset that he left the Dogs in sh*tty circumstances, as I believe his leaving actually benefitted the Dogs no end. They woke up and finally signed a NUMBER of decent players at sensible money and their turnaround was stunning. Had SBW been there hogging all the cap to himself then they wouldnt have been able to do it.

My problem is exactly what I've alluded to above. If SBW wanted to come back, then why would anyone want a cap hogging, injury prone liabilty holding back their side?

If he could be signed for $150,000 a year then sure, when he's not warming the injury table he's devastating - but he wouldn't play more than a handful of games each season and you'd be wasting your money.

He settled with them right...payed out $500k plus- my memeroy is vague it was sooooo long ago, so he could s**t himself around to the highest bidding club who would be stupid enough to have him

you are correct he did settle with the Bulldogs, but one of the terms of the settlement was that he was unable to play for any other NRL club until his contract would have expired in 2013.

you would figure he would be allowed to come back if he made donations to the dogs or something... hell we let a guy that did cocaine back..

haha, I love the smug self rightousness of these SBW. The very second SBW is linked to any club & it seems legitimate, watch that club's fans change their tunes.

" It terrible what he did! But, if he really is sorry.... "

Looking like he's gonna sign.....

" Look that was years ago.... "

Signs.

" WHOO! We're gonna win the premiership! SBW is the best backrower I've ever seen! "

And jealous opposition fans will say " SBW is a dog. Our club doesn't need or want him! Our club has morals! "

And I shall lol.

Bang on.

I would have him at the Knights in a flash

SBW was on 400K a year. That's probably what Stagg and Michael Hodgson take up. Not a very well thought out post.
