because his contract isn't registered and there wont be enough time to get him into newtowns team

If he signs with Newtown it won't be a problem. Players have been signed on the day of the game in NSW Cup.

Ha some of the t shirts for sale on that site are pretty good.

 

[Gards]

NRL site lists Ava as injured (knee, round four)

If he signs with Leeds he might not be playing straight away

 

[snowman]

good news if true, leeds need a prop like him
we dont need him
we get cap compliant
no ill feelings from either party

 

[bort]

Likely better for him financially to sign in ESL now than spend most of the year in NSW cup and try get a contract somewhere too

Rhys Martin anyone?
On the outer at the dogs

He looked alright when I saw him but whys he on the outer at the Dogs? They are rubbish

Would love him if he wants to come on a minimum wage deal and wait till we've released a player to get under the cap...

Surely we aren't in a position to sign anyone. He looked the goods though.

 

[Gumby]

Apparently had a run in with the coach about his weight during the off season.

He’d suit our pack I reckon. But yeah I’m not sure if we are in any position at all to look at signing anyone for this season. Could be an option for 2020 possibly?

He Captained the bulldogs who beat Newtown in the GF last season.
Don’t know who he would replace?

Nah I’m happy to back what we have, especially if Nikora keeps improving.

 

[snowman]

Yes please to Martin, beast

Same, wouldn't get a start.

He’s 26. I hadn’t heard of him before last year. Did he have some injuries early in his career or has he had one good season in the past 5?

Late bloomer. He was a gun 20's player but ended up playing 2 years of NSW Cup and 2 Years of Qld Cup before getting his NRL debut. He was one of PNG's better players in the World Cup in 2017.

back in the day forwards came into first grade around this time and peaked at 30

martin is a fantastic player

 

[deano the p]

I'd take him for sure. I'm sure there's someone out there that could out bid us though given our current situation.

 

[HaroldBishop]

Where would you play him?

Much rather spend some coin on wingers.
