So we can officially rule out Dugan

 

[slide rule]

Signed, sealed and delivered, Josh Dugan a shark at over 1 mil a season for 4 years. WIll be playing fullback next year.

Signed maybe, sealed maybe, delivered- not yet.

 

[Capital_Shark]

If we were to land both, do we play them both on the right and have the Australian right hand side centre/wing pairing, or shift one of Duges/Fergo to left centre?

I'm undecided.

Without much thought into it I'm inclined to balance them out across the park. Duges isn't a noted passer of the ball so Fergo could be a bit wasted on a wing (I'd run Fergo centre even if we didn't get Duges)

 

[Thresher]

Be nice to have Dugong and Fergo both playing centre, with Fekimonster and the Gray Nomad waiting in the wings.

And Val can play FB the other half of the year that Dugans out injured. Welcome chalk. Very expensive, talented chalk.

It depends on who plays on the other edge hey. Feki will need a centre partner, and do we play Fergo on Beales wing or at centre? There's a lot of questions.

Imo you don't wanna strengthen one side to weaken another. Spread the talent

 

[Tiger Shark]

aww man, I was hoping we'd sign Dugan

 

[sharkyboy]

Also means we have genuine attacking threats in Fergo on one side and Dugan on another so defenses can't relax, mix that with feki partnering one of them and another winger whether that be Beale or grey or whatever and Val chiming in.

Give us the 2018 comp now thanks

 

[slide rule]

I'd be pretty pleased if we got both.

 

[common]

Don't mind if we get Dugan, though he is injury-prone. Also hope Val isn't shifted from fullback, feel that if he is moved back to the wing we won't retain him when his contract is up.

Tend to agree with both of you.

While the prospect of having the best right side in the comp is tantalizing, it's probably the smart move to balance the side out.

Have Dugan or Fergo played left centre before?

I just cannot see Flanno guaranteeing any player a position. Surely you do that when you're wooden spooners desperate for a signing, not defending premiers.

 

[HaroldBishop]

I doubt Dugan cares if he plays centre of FB as long as he's getting the cash he wants. $1m per year buys a lot of Breezers.

 

[dosit]

We are a very silly team to be buying dugan for 1 mil a season though.

Wonder whether Pricey will be prepared to run these out during the game.

Hmm don't know mate. At the very least we could pop one in the ice bag when he's nursing an injury on the bench.

For a million a year there isnt much i wouldnt do. For a league player, whether it be centre or fb they wouldnt care if the moneys right.

To be honest Jack Bird is one of the only centres ive ever heard of thats been so vocal about not wanting to be a centre. Hope hes a centre at broncos

Doubt it would even take a million dollars, mate. Bet you get some PM's with a few $20 offers after some of them read this haha.

I agree though, I hope he is a centre at Broncos too. Wonder if he will piss 'n' moan about it or if he will ask for a release if things don't go his way.

Probably play the homesick card if anything.

split them up. Need your better players playing in the centre's and I doubt we'd be able to afford another decent player to play in the left centre if we had both of them on the right
