Give it a rest Johnny boy. You hate the kid, we get it. I’m glad that you’re happy that he’s out injured

"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!

Yep suck eggs Gould
Thats what happens when you sign too many utilities
Should have let us have Connor Tracey

As long as that doesn’t bring Bird back in

 

[denis preston]

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.

Wasn’t singling out anyone in particular DD, all good.

We have a few forwards we could release to them:

Lawrie
Michael Molo
Dan Russell
Jack Bird
RFM
Tom Eisenhuth

Agree with your top 4 but not the bottom 2, I think they have been good, nothing special but have done their job.

 

[SEAT 1A]

Can't see it going pear shaped with Dan if we have done a medical. The delay may be over his two years still with the Knights.

Hopefully, we still need some cash for other signings in the pipeline that are over the line.

 

[Centralcoastdragon2]

Why pay more. We would be bidding against ourself. Seems like none else is after him and Knights must move him on.

I hear ya, but the way MC described it was Daniel wasnt one of that Newcastle 'desperately' want gone, so if they r gonna be eating 300k + replacement costs, they prob wouldnt do it.. plus once Stefano goes, do the Tigers or Souths or Parra or some other party enter the equation...

But its all media talk right.. im sure we will come to an agreement.. seems like its all just negotiation tactics to get the price where flanno wants it.

Rev i think your right we need to offer/settle on a fair price to get deal done. Last thing we need is to dither around playing too hard ball and have another team swoop in and take him so we are once again left with nothing

 

[Jeremy Dragon]

.medical done but not agreed to a deal seems odd.

 

[Desperate Dragon]

.medical done but not agreed to a deal seems odd.

Possibly the deal has been done and is currently in the 10 day cooling off period.

 

[TheRev]

I dont think cooling off would apply in the Saifiti deal where the in-contract player has been tapped by his club, im not even sure if Daniel is in the negotiation.. seems like its between Saints and Newcastle, as Newcastle are the ones picking up the rest of the bill.

It would apply to Blaize though where hes put himself on the market and Parra would get a chance to win him back 'if' he did indeed sign with us or whoever..

failed it perhaps.

No loss..past it anyway. they will probably sign Stefano for less than the Tigers

 

[<StGeorgeDragons>]

My tip is Nathan Long finally returns from injury before we sign any decent player.

 

[since77]

failed it perhaps.

Apparently theres a minor shoulder issue but nothing to worry about. The only sticking point is how much money Newcastle is willing to chip in.

 

[John moz]

Blaize is not a player we should sign I am hearing that Katoni Stagges from Brisbane his contract is up for 2025.
