Dugan Rumours Resurface

[Guest]

The rumours were abound Dugan was leaving the Raiders last year. We'll keep chasing him because he's a class player in a key position. And Dugan's manager will continue to make it well known in all circles possible that is the case. Is he really WANTING to leave? Or is this going to fizz out to be another "Gasnier" announcement? The rumours to Dugan having issues with Raiders management are as much an insight into the player himself. For a young, backline player his injury record would have to be of concern. Sammy P is a ready made number 1.

We do not want Sammy P as our fullback. Have a look at what the current fullbacks are doing in the game today. They almost control the game the same as the 6 and 9. Sammy P cannot do that. yes he is honest. Yes he is great from dummy half. He does not have the skills of the current fullback (5/8). We need someone of Dugans class.

Dugan will not be a fullback in the next 2 years so why sign him?? we need to go after Locke or gardner.......

If ever I've seen a natural fullback it's Dugan. Even his body shape. He's like the love child of Brett Mullins and Matt Cooper.

I don't see him in the Lockyer mould of fullback-cum-6 at all.

He's going to be a total fcuking superstar wherever he goes. Provided he's not a Gen Z nutbag.

What will he be?

[John Corey]

Beguurk would like him to play 5/8 down at Cronulla with the rest of his team. The problem is, in a few years time there won't be a Cronulla. It will be the Perth guppies or nothing

He played like a champ before getting injured. Wouldn't mind Tarik Sims as well.

WOW showing your age when you cant spell a name correct, i pretty sure its Tariq Sims, typical knob that you are im sure you'd love Dugan.

Didnt the abolishment of the June 30 deadline mean that you could potentially sign someone 5 years before their contract is up

Your the FOOL that thinks he is involved with the club AHAH, pretty funny that, if you dont even know how the Anti tampering works.
Do some more research Chump you still havent got it right.

Anti-Tampering Guidelines

The current ‘anti-tampering’ guidelines state that the NRL will not register a player’s contract with a new club until after Round Thirteen in the final year of that player’s existing contract with his current club. The only exception to this is where the existing club agrees that the new contract should be registered.

There is no rule to prevent clubs talking to players at any time. There is an acceptance that nobody likes to see players negotiating with a new team but there is also the reality that players in the game do change clubs and that those discussions can take place over an extended period.

Rather than introduce ‘discussion deadlines’ that have in the past been shown to be ineffective, the NRL reserves the right not to register the contract and that ensures that the player’s existing club has a fair chance of retaining its player if it wants to.

A club could in fact agree to sign a player years out from the actual start of the contract. The NRL obviously wouldn't register the conract until after Round 13 in the final year of the players contract with their current club.
