Josh Dugan - Signs with Dragons

Re: The big Dugan discussion

What message does it send our players if we go ahead and sign a player like Dugan on what would be one of the richest deals at the club?

Only way I'd consider signing him is it was on a really strict contract and he was honest to god looking to get himself back together. Otherwise, we're not throwing away our integrity to sign a bloke who's failed to live up to his potential.

I'm fairly certain that IF they signed him it'd be to a very strict deal.

Gagai should be a warning to all our boys about what can happen if you stuff up.

Griffin will hail it as the best re-signing in the clubs history.

Re: The big Dugan discussion

Heard on the radio earlier that the Broncos are indeed interested in Dugan, and have requested information on his other off-field issues.

Voting no. No NSWankers, and I'm still supporting Bond getting a shot, so sue me.

Re: The big Dugan discussion

Would be interesting to see what happens if we ended up keeping Norman and signing Dugan. We should be able to afford that if we wanted to. Also how would Hoffman feel given his preferred position is fullback. Not that I care though because I think Hoffman is best suited to wing or centre.

At the end of the day its a business. It has to be run smart. Any of you out there that runs a business will agree that if you were running average for this quarter/year (whatever) and an employee became available who had some differences with his previous employers but could (by the opinion of lots of industry experts) be a real game breaker in terms of revenue/ success AND you could afford him you would be crazy not to bring him aboard albeit with certain caveats he will have to agree to.
For us to not even attempt to hire him would be a sign we a being run by a bunch of blinkered fools who will ruin this great club.

Re: The big Dugan discussion

I can't believe the coach is even considering signing a bloke like Dugan. And to make him one of the highest paid at the club as well. What a joke

Re: The big Dugan discussion

I would be fucked if we offered Dugan 650 grand which apparently is what the Dragons offered him. I would offer him 450k at the most.

Re: The big Dugan discussion

If he really wants to turn over a new leaf and join the Broncos.. then he should be on the minimum salary of 75k.

I for one am super glad your not involved in recruitment for the broncos. You do realise just saying you don't want him at the club would have done the job.

Offending players with ridiculous offers would do our club (which is currently struggling to attract quality players) more harm than good.
