Tasi would do nicely.

Nobody we could get before June 30 will be any better than what we already have so why bother

 

[MadMarcus]

How does the salary cap work with Joe being out for the season? Do we get to replace him under the cap or do we need to sign someone for minimum wage so as not to go over the cap?

If you look at the Dogs mid-season recruits last year it is obvious that they must not count towards the cap.

 

[lsz]

Considering we had to shed players you would think the only way we could get a player would be if a club was willing to pick up some of their contract

 

[HappilyManly]

The Mole has Josh Starling at Brookie by June.

Unless Nood or King retire by June they remain part of the headcount. They are part of the Salary Cap for the duration of their contract.

Go Warriors

I thought the Starling rumours were for next year, but sweet if they are for this year

 

[dceagle]

Yeah Starling looks the goods , Tasi would also fit the bill .

 

[KOMORI]

Personally I think that whilst every team needs the odd big bopper, the more mobile big blokes like Lawrence suit the modern game better and more importantly our game better.

Getting a roll on with big charges is all well and good, but I feel that defensive line speed is just as important in yardage terms: think "attacking defense" that minimizes THEIR gains rather than hammer it back up field from deep in our half.

In that respect, Matai is a gun: brutal defense and epic yardage gains when he scoots from dummy half...

 

[zambuck]

we have a ton of talent in the lower grades leave it up to tooves and selectors but do not be surprised that big George gets more time he went well last week and showed a lot of his old self

 

[Jatz Crackers]

big George showed a lot of his old self

He sure did. Below is a side view of his old self

Mitch allgood played well tonight ran hard and had some mongrel about him

Stromquist just killed it for Wyong against a big vulcans pack. Over 200 metres gained I am surprised we got rid of him.
Surely Ligi Sao should get a go soon.

Stromquist has been going very well, SHOCKING decision from management! This is the first time I have been back since the DISGUSTING treatment of one of our loyal and to-be future star players. But hey guess the club will learn... sooner or later and fans like me learn way to quickly to follow different sports. I just cant stand, not standing by our juniors! DISGUSTING!

The only disgusting thing is your incessant love affair with Stromquist.

This is a business, not a charity. People with better rugby league nous than you and I at the club obviously decided he wasn't up to the chop. If he was surely he would by plying his trade in first grade somewhere?

This clubs management has done an outstanding job at recruiting players over the past few years.

Lol just a little bit overly dramatic

 

[Ian Martin tragic]

I think Georgie's going allright now he's a bit more match fit. Gower got the early running in firsts so he looks to be next cab off the rank if injuries strike again. liked his work the other night--was on for 1 minute, made a huge break and got half his eyebrow ripped off....

 

[Jatz Crackers]

made a huge break and got half his eyebrow ripped off....

Thats what we want. More meathead and less eyebrow.

 

[The Indian]

I missed any word on King's surgery and whether it was a success and he's still a slim chance for later in year OR he's definitely out for the year OR just no news yet ???

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Even if he becomes available for selection, a player his size would take quite some time to get back to match fitness after such a long absence. In reality I doubt he figures in our plans for 2013.

 

[Shoe1]

Hopefully if Kingy is gorn, he can give Tooves enough notice so we can fit someone else in for next year or upgrade some contracts to retain some players.
