I don't post a lot of rumours on here, but I hope this isn't true.

Hearing Graham to the Dogs on a 2 year deal,
This info came from the same person who was correct about Fifita.

Now I pray, that this is bull****

50K is a little light for a bar tab...

It's a good start for pre-drinks though.

Thats what I'm thinking,
I'll see what I can find out.

 

[Mungusjack]

Are there any rumours/myths/stories/legends of player retention? Apart from liccha?

 

[Gibs]

I've heard rumour our entire forward pack to Cantabury

De Gois? Surely not, we must pay big dollars to retain him.

heartbreak is the default setting for sharks supporters. When is our new black jersey coming out? Our whole supporter base must have gone emo by now. We feel blue, but we wear black.

He'd have to command 400-500k in the current climate. Canterbury can afford that??? Next year they need new contracts for Ennis, Morris and Cory Thompson ( who won't be a bargain based on recent form). Add this to 850k Fifita, 300k Lichaa, 700k James Graham and money tied up with Tolman/Eastwood/Inu/Pritchard/Williams/Hodkinson/Reynolds/Perrett/ etc, and it looks a bit far fetched.

Unless they've been front ending every contract for about 2-3 years so players essentially cost less next year. Can that be done?

Hodges to Sharks, I don't think that was me.

 

[Wilson]

Tony Williams is on a crazy 600k a year.

 

[stevie013]

so runour is tedesco to the dogs as well on silly money.

they will have to offload some players. who could we target?

i would be throwing a bit of coin at morris to start with.

no way they could afford him, 850k for Fifita and 700k for graham and that is over 1.5 million
for just two players. not to mention their other highly paid players. i think they will have to
let some players go.
i cannot see how they can sign any more big name players.

 

[Sharky14]

The allowances now allow marquee players to be paid outside the cap and long serving players to only contribute 300k toward the cap all overs are accomidated, i did some digging.
Cameron smith is a long serving player as it billy slater and cooper cronk as well as smith being a marquee, allowing them to have that many players on high salaries.
Bulldogs have put fifita and josh morris on the marquee players allowing them to pay off the cap, there long serving players only contribute 300k as i said before. -however they have aknowledged to the NRL that they are (at this stage) over the cap for the 2015 season. So they will need to release a number of players to accomidate this.

 

[Spanner shark]

Nice to see that Ennis wants a contract long term like Smith, he must think he is in the same class or will fit in to the long service brigade

 

[snowman]

i didnt get that at all from ennis, he said he wants a long deal like smith, not because he is smith. its his last contract he will get in australia, and he wants maximum revenue for it.

Whoa, teams are allowed two marquees? Greenburg is playing silly buggers.

Greenberg? Do you mean the Bulldogs CEO? If so, that's Raelene Castle.
