BF rumours from barass70 (SOS' mate)
Club still very confident in 1st rounder for Henderson.
"Watch this space" 're Casboult.
Sam Mayes wants out of Brisbane.....
Also 'goreds' who used to have some reasonable mail, but not sure he still has a link, has thrown up the name of Peter Wright as a possible target with Bell as part of the deal. Not sure if it was hope, or he'd actually heard something.....
Tom Boyd is a name that still gets floated. Massive contract, talk that WB would pay a bulk of it, as they are looking to fit Carlislie in.
All rumours of course, but I'm still confident that the man who has come from a list like GWS doesn't think we can get the same by targetting Josh Walker and some picks in the early 30s...
Tom Boyd?
What?
It's probabaly a 2 + 2 = 5 scenario, but it's quite well known that the Bulldogs are (were?) trying to package up something to get an early pick. One of ours semed to be the rumour when it looked like Band 1 was a goer for Kreuzer.
Boyd's name was the one that got linked with another of their picks as the possible exchange.
The contract obviously being the main sticking point, especially now as they've supposedly offered more years and $ than we have for Carlisle. (5 years, not sure on $).
As for why they'd change their mind on such a big investment after 12 months, the view was that the deal was done prior to the Beveridge appointment and he believes its hindering them from any further list improvement.
Again, all Internet talk with no proper sources, but no less unreliable than anything the media are trying to guess...
