Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2495888, member: 1899"] [B]Who do you think the Bulldogs will shed?[/B] According to ZeroTackle.com: Kris Keating, Mitch Brown, Drury Low, John Sila, Tim Browne, Dene Halatau, Trent Hodkinson & Tim Lafai are all off contract. I'd imagine they'll lose the bulk of those and that would free up some change. With the release of a player like Josh Morris, I can see them affording Folau. Even if Josh Morris and those players don't cover it, I'd imagine the Dogs would just release Kasiano and they'd be right. What I want to know is, how will the Dragons be able to afford J. Moz? [B]How Old Are The Negotiations?[/B] Judging by the rumours, I'd go as far back to at least 2012. I'm purely speculating here, but I imagine the original plan was for Folau to see out his AFL stint and return to the NRL via Canterbury-Bankstown in 2014. However, things changed. [B]Was Folau ever going to be at the Eels long term?[/B] No, I'd imagine the deal would have been for a year. Sure, his mind may have changed if he stuck around longer but I imagine the Dogs were always in the frame. [B]And is this a good signing for the Dogs? [/B] Sure, Folau will be one of the most talented backs in the game and is always going to be worth a few extra tries. The only impact I can see it having is on depth but even then I can't see it affecting them that much, at least not in the short-term. [B]Jealous? [/B] Definitely, Brisbane could really do with a new back and Folau would be an ideal long term option. [/QUOTE]
