Will DCE go to the Dolphins?

[mickqld]

We have $4mil tied up in 4 players. DCE, Taupau, Jake and Tom. We can't afford that to continue after the end of next season. In fact we can't afford it now and hope to win a title. We lack premiership quality in the #9, #6, #3, #4 positions. I still have a feeling if Marty finds a 3 year deal for '23,'24 that we'll release him for '22.

Might make Cust a priority signing instead of being well down the pecking order ??

He turns 24 next year. Still got time on his side.

We should be trying to shop Marty to the Tigers.

Swap deal for stefano but we can pay 250 k of Marty’s contract and upgrade stefano to 600 k.

Stefano was in the NSW camp for game 3. No club in their right mind would sell off his potential for a 32 year old. They've got a young guy they can hold onto for years and build a pack around.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I’ve changed my mind on this now and don’t think he’ll be targeted by the Phins.

Age would be that barrier I think.

And Bellamy has said no to Munster leaving before 24 so who knows as to who their main target will be.

This debate should remind the Club that its important to have a succession plan. Foran and DCE are in the twilight of their careers. We have Schuster ready to go at 6 and we need to groom a 7.

we need to groom a 7.

Aaron?
Ah but the wunderkinds don't always get there. I love the line from the Dionne Warwick classic - 'and all the stars that never were, are parking cars and pumping gas'

Someone has put a video of this young star on YouTube. Worth a look. Reminds me of Cliffy. Well worth a look: http://youtube.com/watch?v=BHho7fh_Acc

LA is a great big freeway…

But why would Tigers do that?

I heard they put up a parking lot.

I'm pretty sure Dolphins don't have a neck.

I heard they put up a parking lot.

Only after they paved paradise.

We need either DCE or Foz if we are going to win a comp soon. Since our win in 1987 every premiership-winning team has had at least 1 previous winner

1987/1996 (Cliffy & Des)
1996/2008 (Beaver)
2008/2011 (heaps..)
2011/2022 (DCE & Foz)

Tigers have form.

Tim Sheens is no idiot...apparently a lot of the Tigers problems stem from the managers (not the players) not wanting to talk to the Tigers...Sheens is a good operator and he'll clean the joint up.

I hope he does. I like the Tiges

Same. I feel sorry for them after what Cleary did...they have some really passionate supporters that deserved better. As for Sheens, he’s one of the best in the business...the Tigers 05 win is probably the pick of all the under dog premiership wins. They might have been favs on the night due to Cowboys also coming from nowhere but they won that comp with a very thin roster and were never expected to challenge that year. It was a real credit to his coaching.

I am sure they’re thinking along those lines.

Speaking of the Dugongs in general, did anyone else notice that ridiculous set-up at Sandcliffe Stadium, where (at least one of) the coaches boxes are on the opposite side of the ground to the dressing rooms? Leaving the coach/s to trek across field before and after each half. Surely they will need to sort that out by 2023.
