News: Bulldogs fire sale over, Cronk to Roosters

[Holmsey]

is that egon targarian? haha
maybe there sacking Pearce aka the boob. dogs can pick him up lol

Who is Aegon Targaryen?

 

[tookey]

Why would the chooks want him.

Keary was good and they have Pearce.

Keary is also young and a long term halves option.

Did you watch the roosters last game against NQL?

Pearce and keary were rubbish

Mitchell preferred the picking up of the dog...

Who is Aegon Targaryen?

A brother from another mother.

A brother from another mother.

More like a nephew from another brother

As for everyone saying who roosters have lost-

- Paul Carter
- Kane Evans
- Liam Knight
- Guerra
- Kenny-Dowall

I think its more surprising that they are going for cronk based on how well Keary went in 2017.

Also they lost Connor Watson. All those players added together would probably pay a fair portion for Cronk and Tedesco.

But the puzzle remains, where Cronk would fit in....

I could only see them punting Pearce, not Keary. Keary had to good a season to be gone so soon.

The game would be boring for a fan if all teams had the same cap.

And going off Wiki Manly is the only honest team in the last 20 years, we should all be proud of supporting such an organization.(like like like this comment pleeeeaaasssssse)

I will say in the 100% control Penn Years per dollar outlayed Manly get the best return in terms of a team performance perspective.

If we are the so-called honest team of the last 20 years, then why is our club under a salary cap investigation announced in July? The longer this goes on without a hint from the NRL of an outcome, the more of a scandal this will be, especially if this is a giant red herring!!!

And meanwhile our opposition spends like there’s no tomorrow, never ever mentioned once in any scandal.

Problem being that some of us grew up with Manly as the Silvertails so nowadays its hard to cop being the Fibros. Lesson in humility perhaps but who needs that!

 

[pjayz]

Hastings would be on less than 200, the club wouldn't be stupid enough to sign him on any more if they knew he would be sitting in reserves.

Most of that would be wiped out by the Tedesco signing.

They will also need to bring in replacements in the top 30 on at least the agreed minimum contract value.

If they get Cronk as well it just flaunts the fact this comp is so uneven despite the diatribe from Greenberg.

If true, they’re probably hoping he plays in the Anzac test, to boost their Australian rep tally.

After all, I’m pretty sure we have had more Australian reps than the Red, White & Blue Sea Pedestrians. Officially 70, once Tommy runs out. 71 if you include John Harvey, who Frank Stanton very thoughtfully didn’t use at all in the 3rd Test vs NZ in 1978. Thanks Frank.

I've heard rumours about Pearce and the dogs.

 

[Simonmyers11]

They would have to punt pierce and 1 or 2 more. Tedesco was signed on a 1 million deal so the players they have realeased would barely cover him as well as their resignings.

Seems a weird signing when cronk may only play for 1 or 2 more years.

 

[Sea Eagle 4 Life]

The rumor only started when Cronk was heard singing: "I feel like chicken tonight".

 

[Eagles2nv]

Tedesco might be on $1m... but probably half of that is covered by TPA's.
Such a fair comp it is.

I heard Tedesco is actually volunteering his playing services to the club.

The club supplies him 'takeaway lunches' as a Thankyou.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Sounds almost as believable as the Broncos ''I'm happy to stay on for half my value because I love the culture so much''...

Or Darren Lockyer taking “ extreme unders of $250k for one more year” at the Donkeys, yeah right and apparently pigs can actually fly!

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Funny I’m having a debate on a Twitface page over the salary cap being either enhanced or replaced by a points system limiting the amount of elite players each club can have.

It’s funny but those against the idea are Donkey, Drizzle and Rorters fans.

I bet you are all surprised by that!

 

[bob dylan]

So according to today's Telegraph the Chook's have over $800k in the cap for next year.

Add that to a $200K-$300K TPA and Cronk will be red white and blue.

 

[tookey]

Not necessarily Manly news but could have impacts if chairs are forced to move at some clubs. Source DT:

Dogs sale over:
- Abbey gone to Canberra, no more releasing of players
- Morris and Lichaa both expected to stay now

Cronk to Roosters: HOW!!!!!😡
- If Cronk plays on it will be with ROOSTERS WHO HAVE 800K FREE APPARENTLY!

Uncle Nick has promised him a car to tow his boat that he received from the storm
