The Rumours Thread

[Dragon David]

How is this topic a rumour? I think any discussion on refs decisions & rules should go to the swamp because it won’t change and it’s boring, just my opinion.

For some obviously.

Sorry denis, I was the one that started this as an Off Topic matter when I brought up Gus Gould being let off for calling the rules stupid. Apologies all.

No need to apologize Dave.

It's a footy forum and threads take on different angles all the time. It happens. No biggy mate.

Doing the medical before signing and announcing I’m assuming… Harans new skill in 2024?

"The Bulldogs have reportedly had a bid to sign sacked Super League forward Siosiua Taukeiaho rejected by the NRL.

News Corp reports the Bulldogs were blocked because the NRL ruled the mid-season trade window had closed.

The former Rooster was sacked by Catalans for skipping a training session to attend a music concert with fellow former NRL player Jayden Nikorima earlier this month, with the players pretending to be sick.

The NRL’s rejection is a blow to a Canterbury side whose forward stocks are severely depleted. Max King, Jaeman Salmon and Ryan Sutton have all been sidelined in recent weeks, leaving the club short on depth and desperately hoping for the NRL to allow the mid-season swap."

Up yours Gus!

Daniel Saifiti has done a medical with the Dragons. There were some minor issues with a shoulder injury, but nothing serious.
The sides remain some way apart however on how much Knights need to contribute, the Dragons will need to up their offer if he’s to leave.

Choccy shoulder again?

we need a good forward but I wouldn’t be bending over backwards to get him with his form. Let the knights and O’Sullivan earn it.

He’s apparently on 750k. We shouldn’t pay more than 600k. Seems fair

Agree.
Flanagan by all reports is tough but fair when it comes to these type of negotiations.
Would not surprise if Flanagan's first offer was for the Dragon's to pay around $450K.

Just get it done.
I’d be pissed if we miss out because of some stupid small amount

Im with you mate.

Whatever the gap between buyer and seller.. it mustn't be too outrageous if Daniel was down doing a medical today... seems like things are serious.

Again if I was Newcastle I might think about waiting for other parties to get involved once Stefano is settled.. funny how that always shifts a buyers perspective.... but seems like Newcastle are pretty desperate.. they have other options, but I think Daniel is an easier sell than perhaps Cogger or Gamble I dunno whoever else they are trying to move on.

I really dont think its up to the Dragons to up their offer, It's the Knights who are under the pump and desperate to let him go, we should be doing them no favours, especially POS the way he strung the Dragons along for months, just to shaft us, F%$K him and the Knights, they are in no position to dictate to anyone !!!

Exactly this. The longer it drags on the lower the price.

Hope the minor issues are not Volkman like.

If the dude is able to come right now and he only has minor issues, get the deal done
