The Rumours Thread

[TheRev]

Of course we are going after Leo.. I can guarantee it.. but so are numerous other clubs.. I think he will end up outside our sphere of possibility.. but as per usual, got to be in it to win it.

 

[ground zero]

2025 - Hunt gets his $750k and goes elsewhere, meaning we tip in, say, $300k and his new club pays him $450.
2026 - New club pays him whatever they agree, it isn't our problem.

For us to pay $300k or even $400k to get his slot back would be great/acceptable to me.

Why would and should the club tip in $300K if he wants to leave. Same rules as Lomax.

Leo is the player Dragons should be after! what is wrong with this club!

I agree. Forget about JAC and throw the extra money at Leo

FMD. Finally get rid of Bird and now this!! I like Doueihi, plays with plenty of heart but he is 1 more acl injury from career over. Please no

 

[blacksafake]

Agree although no one to replace him previously....

So is “Previously” the main word here @getsmarty

I don't know where you guys are getting 750k from, Hunts on just over $1 Million this year and next. Dragons won't be chipping in any money if he moves on next year, Flanno doesn't work like that. All the club has done is told him he can start negotiating with other clubs two weeks early, this will show Hunt that he's not worth anywhere near what he think he's worth and will be the kick up the ass that he needs if he wants to get picked up by another club for 2026.

I predict that Hunt will still be here next year, as he won't want to take a significant pay cut, which will stop all the sulking that's coming out of him and he'll have a solid year for us, because he'll be fighting for his last contract.

As for Adam Doueihi the poor lad has had extremely bad luck with injury, but he's also a genuine footy player that covers a lot of positions. He's currently on close to a minimum contract with the Tigers, so if we pick him up for $200,000-$250,000 then thats a steal in my eyes. Especially with the new salary cap, a $500,000 player last year is now a $600,000-$650,000 player.

Geeze hope that this is just Journalist dribble

Damned if you do... Damned if you don't.

The Club has called him out. If he stays it will stuff our Club going forward.
It only delays the inevitable.

He will lift in the games leading to origin and produce SFA in between.

With respect, I care NOT about his sulking. He can do that at another Club.

Yeah I’ve had a gut full of his shit talking which always seems to step up when he’s away in rep camp. He can seriously go f**k himself, so over his pathetic attitude. Million dollar captain and he acts like an absolute amateur sometimes. His words and actions are a disgrace to the red V. Enough of this rubbish

Just sprinkling my own dribble amongst the rest of it hahahaha

God I hope that is one rumour that turns out to be false. Knees made from glass and another player who went to the Tigers just for the money and shot their career in the ass.

He could play prop ( pink text) and make more metres than Lawrie and at less than half of what it costs us for Lawrie. Is Haran still employed by us. ???? He signed Lawrie and Rav for 3 seasons on lots and thought he'd done extremely well.

surely not lol.. tbh when hes fit hes a good player, but hes really just a more injured version of Bird.

 

[shiloh dc]

Ha ha - JV clubs swapping dud players just to show their supporters they can recruit.

 

[Unsainty79]

SEN have just said a Sharks half will join dragons in 2025. Likely Atkinson, but maybe Trindall.

It is mostly a question of slots and partly of freeing up money. We want Gutho. But do we have the roster space and the cash for him? If we can move Hunt, we do.

I agree that Hunt will not take a pay cut and will still be with us next year unless his pay - whatever it is - is received in full. So that is why we would pay part of his salary. To free up a slot.

As to 2026, who cares what he earns, but he is better off negotiating it now rather than a year from now.

 

[lombard]

If Doueihi is on minimum wage as reported that is $135,000 for 2025
