Surely, we could have used the Keppie money to sign Curran?
But instead, we got Lodge and Waddell.

Do the dogs have a bottomless pit of money

Releasing Luke Thompson & TPG would have freed up the their salary cap, maybe by 1.2M.
They released 11 players from last years top 30. Some of those were on massive coin.
Pretty sure it's closer to $1.45M for those 2

Probably - Thompson was supposedly on 800k
Bullet dodged.
Good reason why the Warriors wanted him gone. He was disappointing in general this year and they would be far better off giving some youngsters a crack while AFB and Harris.
His off field antics will be better suited at a club like the Dogs. Port Macquarie isnt far from Coffs Harbour.

Let’s all have a chew!
I’ve watched plenty of him. Not the biggest fan either. No great loss.
Seriously the dogs are s#&t have been for 5 years now and they have been spending up big for the last 2 years with zero results...how can you compare them to us..lmfao..
Go follow the dogs
Even after their signing spree there aren't many players 1-17 that I'd swap from their squad for ours.
We preferred Waddell. The Kennell even has a thread how he should be their player of the year, seems a lot of Dog fans at least think he had his best year and always busted his gut for the side.
I've been a little surprised at the great praise here for Curran.
As for Waddell, he's a decent depth signing and (sadly) we do need options, in case of Schu malfunction.

Keppie was on more $$ than he deserved and Waddell was only signed for 1 year,as opposed to the multi year deal Curran wanted and got from the Dogs at a higher rate than Waddell.All this is about affording to keep Olakau’atu

Not sure Manly need any more back rowers as could well be the case that Parker may be tried or considered there nest season .
Only factor with Curren was , could he maybe have adapted to a 13 role , same with Brown but other factors like asking price would also dictate some suitability or signing interest
Probably still a long shot but would not underestimate Tippytoes being able to transition into a half decent edge player backrower .
Good ability to break a i st up tackle and not bad go forward with his strong running style in general and while not in the speedster category , quite good pace and mobility .
Should be able to measure up defensively.
Again , would not be surprised to see Hank given a run in the 2 nd row in the trials and Burbo still naturally thereabouts , Tippytoes simply a smokey to make a go of it there let alone even being considered there

Reading the dogs forums vs this thread is very confusing. Seems like a large number of them would have rather kept Waddell.
The more I reflect on this the more I'm ok with it. He's a hard worker who can play in the middle who has probably been signed as depth. Not too much downside in all that.

Waddell had a good season for the dogs and was one of their most consistent forwards. I’m surprised they let him go.
