If Gus wants a player, for some reason, despite their club being trash, he still tends to win them over (brown paper bags?). They've had some mighty high profile (young) quality players sign.

Dogs had a huuuuge amount of space in there cap the last few years, thats how they have nabbed people.

They have also missed plenty.

Moses, Luai, Johnson, AFB, Smith.






Also for every Stephen Chricton or Mahoney there has been a Zane Tetevano or Drew Hutchinson.

Thats the Big name player Dogs cap spending Model

Then you have the Bellamay Storm cap model and this model finds young talent and moulds them into big game players

The moral of the story
There is more than one way to skin the salary cap cat

"At least 24 Top 30 players must be contracted by 1 November, 28 Top 30 players by the Monday prior to Round 1 and 30 Top 30 players by 30 June (or the first working day thereafter if 30 June falls on a weekend)."

If what I've heard is correct, quite a few players have flat out rejected us, after hearing about the "project", and where we are as a club.

If The Dog's and Tigers can recruit marquee, surely we should be able to as well. Is that dude from The Chooks marquee? Not gonna lie, I haven't really noticed him before this.

P.S. Piss off Wayne Bennett you old fossil, stop stripping our juniors from the market.
I suspect Laundy is not too far off the Uncle Nick status when it comes to being able to "assist" players. That, plus Gould's ability to build his image as the rugby lea gue guru over the years. I find Bennett painful but it's hard to argue his coaching record. Gould, I just find painful but it's hard to argue that he isn't an influence on the game. I reckon young blokes get a bit mesmerised when they sit down with him. Siebold on the other hand .....

Heard rumours he and sticky have had a bust up but unsubstantiated so apply salt liberally
Reading between the team selections and how good his form was last season there appears to be something not right.

Only signed on last season to end of 2027, another red head in the 13 would be a turn back to the eighties.

Another team enters the race for Sitili Tupouniua

Knights join the race for Tupouniua and Crichton close to a two year extension with the Roosters, so Sitili is most probably off.

The Knights, Dolphins, Doggies and Manly all in the race for his signature. Just looking at the rosters of those sides we are the side that could probably guarantee a spot in the 17 for Sitili with our lack of second row depth.

Knights have KPP, Lucas, Frizzell
Dogs have Kikau, Preston, Salmon
Dolphins have Lemuelu, Finefeuiaki, Kaufusi

Manly have basically just got Haumole and Burbo and thats it. No club in the race for him can really offer a direct pathway to the 1-17 like Manly can with our lack of second row and forward depth in general. If Sitili wants consistent playing time, Manly’s the club to go to.
