If bulldogs pay some of the freight, i would go for:
corey allen, i think he could re-ignite his career with us and we need outside backs
Jack hetherington, i know he is a hot head, but he goes hard and would add to our pack
Luke thompson, i rate him and i think he can fill a hole for us with papalii and nuikore leaving.
Who would you go for?

Luke Thompson for half the price definately.
JAC - we need speed! Bulldogs can pay half for 3 years.
Mahoney
perfect
Haha
Canterbury would be paying half his deal, imagine a rotation of Thompson, RCG and Paulo, even putting Thompson at Lock. My word.
Fair enough, though Thompson for 1 year? maybe. But i do not have an issue with Grieg, though wish he was playing more.
You wouldn't want JAC ?
Fiddy! Great topic!
I genuinely dont know what is going on with that Corey Allen situation. Ive always been a fan of his. Poor kid seems so low on confidence, I think he has been really mishandled by the Bunnies and the Dogs, should have never been tossed into the Origin arena so early.
He has really beefed up the past 12 months or so, could be moving into a Centre role.
Was such a talent, coming through his junior teams. A great athletic build, with speed. He reminds me alot of a young Hayne.
A real mystery.
If he came to us I beleive hed be a great signing, only up for here for the young man. He is on 500k so like you said, no way we can afford that, but, if we go 50/50 with Jabba and bring him in itd be a great gamble!
2 forward options Id take before Hetherington and Thompson would be RFM and Topine. However both seem like they are too passionate about the club to be pryed away. Shame, they are both talented and would go well in the B&G. RFM, if able to regain his true abilities, is a freak.
The other forward Id go hard for would be Doorey, runs very hard, is quick for his size too. Wouldnt cost too much and was originally one of our bright young junior prospects. Definitely able to fill the Stone void.
Technically this is not a Dogs player but, when the dogs released Naden to the Tigers, I immediately thought we should make a big play for Tommy Talau.
They are way to heavy on outside backs.
TT seems like he might not a part of their future plans. He is a talent and could come with a bit of a discount, considering he is coming of an injury.
Ive said before that JMK gets a pretty tough wrap. I think he has shown the he offers some spark in attack. And proven he is able to work on his game, haven improved alot this year.
His defence is not where itd need to be but if we have him in the 14 I think we can get the best out of him. Going from Tigers to Dogs is pretty unfair too, who knows - he could be alot better than what weve seen out of him to date.
As a little bonus too, that would give us a chance at bringing in Benji for some sessions. Also Benji could help stand up for us a bit in the media.
The fox, that's about it - not going to happen though
