Bulldogs - Salary Cap Cheaters

[KNUCKLES]

Isn't this thread against the new terms and conditions? Even though every day there are new threads that talk about the same thing?

To be honest I didn’t read the terms and conditions 🙂

I agree. There is already a thread about this topic.
After reading the terms and conditions this 'New Topic' condition was the one that seemed to me to be difficult to manage. For example, if I want to raise a topic (unless it is not obviously on the front page of the Forum) how do I check if a similar one hasn't been posted in the past?

I’m not sure if to laugh or cry!!

Don't forget mate, we are pretty full in quality (when full strength). Not sure if it's blue chips we need anymore - It's probably more like depth players (but more importantly, retention):

Projected Team next Season:
01. Tom Trbojevic (21)
02. Jorge Taufua (26)
03. Brian Kelly (21)
04. Dylan Walker (23)
05. Moses Suli (19)
06. Trent Hodkinson (29)
07. Daly Cherry-Evans (29)
08. Addin Fonua-Blake (22)
09. Apisai Koroisou (25)
10. Marty Taupau (28)
11. Joel Thompson (29)
12. Curtis Sironen (24)
13. Jake Trbojevic (24)

14. Tom Wright (20)
15. Kelepi Tanginoa (24)
16. Taniela Paseka (20)
17. Shaun Lane (23)

SUCH a young team, and I see so much potential there. The best part, is we should be trying to keep them together. Also, Tom Wright will get experience if / when Hodko comes off. Helps both those boys, with a long term view of making Wright permanent 5/8.

This team could be together (for the most part) for a very long time, if they work really hard and succeed.

Good points Ryan. Interesting the ages, no one over 30 is good.

Josh Jackson would be a ripper but if they are offloading him there’ll be a frenzy to buy him, ditto Klemmer!!

And I doubt with Turdburgs $330k ( which I expect to still be there as the appeal will be turfed out) still in place we’ll be in a position to buy anyone, in fact quite the reverse I think we might be forced into selling some!!

Hi Ryan. I agree my friend. If you have a look at the start of the season, the teams that are doing OK were very average in comparison over the past 3 years and those results were because those teams in prior years were young and inexperienced. Lucky for us we actually have a great mix of youth and experience, and only a couple that are dinosaurs that will leave soon. I think it also bodes well that we have youngster playing in lower grades or fringe NRL players who can learn off the experienced players and will be able to fill those rolls, and when it does the current young crop of NRL players would have already learnt their experience.

If we can retain over next few years rather than loose our better players, then I feel we are on the verge of what happened in the late 2000's and early 2010 periods.

Obviously Klemmer, Jackson and RFM but as others have stated, Hoppa is still a decent player but not sure where he fits in our squad

Rhys Martin looks decent

 

[globaleagle]

The terms and conditions aren't new you peanuts champions, just that it seems as if you guys never read them before! 😛

P.S. - You can always let us know about the same threads (like @HappilyManly does) rather than keep being beer bellied whiny pants gits champions.

You can use the search function.


*sigh*

Edit: No one (well not me) expects anyone to go through the whole forum looking for duplicate threads. Just have a look on the front page...or if it sounds familiar do a search.

About a month ago I merged something like 20+ sCam smith threads, so......

How does the NRL even consider allowing to register this contract, after the hell Manly went through earlier this season??

More importantly, how does the RLPA not ensure that the 14 off contract Dogs players will be employed next year

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

There’s some funny **** that goes on but that’s Greenslime for you , rules for clubs different depending on who you are!!

 

[wombatgc]

Nate Myles is over 30.

Oh, that hurts!

1. Des is a control freak. A very successful control freak.
2. When some nuffty named Dave perry started to tell him what to do, he didn't like it. Hard to blame a 300 game manly legend who coached us to two premierships for getting a bit upset about some nobody coming in and telling him what's what.
4. Des achieved success by back ending contracts. That allowed us to keep a champion team together for a decade.
5. When you are a resource poor club like manly, there is very little you can do to achieve prolonged success against teams like the Broncos, storm and roosters. You don't have access to TPAs that enable you to keep and attract star players, and you certainly don't have news limited backing. Back ending contracts is one of the few ways clubs like manly can compete on a close to even playing field.
6. If you were CEO of a company that you built up to achieve multi millionaire dollar profits year after year, who was then told by the board that the new office boy was now going to tell you what to do, I imagine you'd be a tad upset too.
7. The coaching staff that des poached were put together by him during his time at manly. They were his trusted lieutenants. Hard to blame him for taking them with him elsewhere. Manly didn't own them. If they loved manly so much, they could have stayed. Fairly sure des wasn't holding a gun to their heads.

Its funny how Crusher

Bulldogs and maybe a couple of other clubs based their 2018 rosters on the expectation or anticipation or whatever that the Salary cap would be in excess of 10 mil dollars post 2018 . Whether there were elements in the N R L pushing this agenda or just some misguided club outlook but i certainly have no sympathy for their present predicament and especially in regard to Des "s self interested and selfish practice with back ended deals over the past couple of season . Some of Manly "s administration practices over recent seasons may have not been perfect or ideal but compared with the Bull Dogs and the Eels for instance and some others , i would say that they would rate quite well .

Name one modern day successful coach who isn’t self interested or selfish. All part of having the highest pressure job in a the highest pressure industry of professional sport. Mark actually stated that he believed the real story lies somewhere in between the two extremes. Therefore, that means it is fair to say both parties are required to acknowledge blame. I too heard the Crusher Cleal side of things as well, which got me to thinking that it wasn’t a simple case of Dessie putting the knife in for fun. There were many people involved in all this, but only one person has been hung out to dry. I’m not suggesting Des should be ushered straight through the doors and handed the keys to the kingdom, but i choose to acknowledge what he contributed to the club, which is more than anyone else except perhaps Bozo and Arko. I don’t care whether people want to call him Doggsler, traitor blah blah blah, that’s up to them. But when you wipe away Hasler from the Manly Sea Eagles... you sure as sh1t are flushing a hell of a lot of success down the toilet.

Martin is a backrower

 

[BrendonStarr]

I would say that the Bulldogs will be sitting on 0 pts for the entire season next year. They will have no other choice but to be massively over the cap.
