You mean apart from being dropped for poor fitness earlier this year and parts of last year as well meaning that the Dogs, despite being near bottom of the NRL may be prepared to release him now?

Personally I'd rather a halfback, but if there's no decent options then a goalkicking backrow might not be a bad thing for this season I guess. Might give Sutcliffe pause for thought...

Not long to wait then

Martin was the best Dogs forward last year, just doesn't get on with Pay, who is an idiot. Fast, ball-handler, deadshot goalkicker, great signing exactly what we need, just hope it's not too late.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V2 : Sun Jun 30, 2019 5:31 am  

That's why there was a rush from other clubs to sign him then? Must have missed that...

Considering Leeds will probably go with Ferres & Sutcliffe in the 2nd row today I'd be happy to see them sign Dean Martin.

Was really hoping our last quota spot would be used on a quality half. Aidan sezer played for Canberra yesterday and was pretty decent even though they lost. Leagues above myler anyhow

If it's true that'll be the overseas spot vacated by Parcell filled, meaning we're sticking with our current HB options, which is disappointing. If that's the case though the only partnership which gives us a future is Lui/McLelland with Myler out and Sutcliffe covering second row/boot room.

If we wanted a halfback we have to be very careful about signing anyone else. Someone like Martin might help this year but hamstring us in the future unless we're very smart and try to get someone just for this season (i.e. like a loan signing from the NRL). That might not be impossible - like Hastings last year for Salford.

Do you think maybe the Ward situation changed the strategy here?

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V2 : Sun Jun 30, 2019 6:14 am  

If it did it would mean the club have know for a while that Ward wasn't going to be back imminently, or they're content that Lui is enough in conjunction with the half's we already have. It must mean fatty Ferres is on his way out though?
