Giants have made a statement on Tom Boyd

"The GIANTS welcome comments by Tom Boyd's manager that he will honour his contract with the club. Liam Pickering told Trade Radio that Boyd would play for the GIANTS in 2015 if he was not traded. Chief Executive David Matthews said: "Given we have said Tom will not be traded under any circumstances we are pleased that any ambiguity has been removed and we look forward to welcoming Tom back to training next month and preparing for the 2015 season."

Does this mean Griffen will end up having to stay at the bulldogs. What a mess that has turned out to be for the club. They sacked their coach and their captain doesn't want to be there.

It's probably just made-up but the rumour doing the rounds tonight is Melbourne are willing to give up their picks 2 & 3 to get Swan Josh Kennedy.

-------------------------------------------

Brett Anderson is saying Adam Cooney would prefer to go to Essendon but North are closer to doing a deal as the Bombers want the Bulldogs to pay a greater percentage of Cooney's salary compared to the Kangaroos who are willing to accept less.

---------------------------------------------

Western Bulldogs are in discussions to secure Sydney Swans half-back Shane Biggs, who appears unlikely to remain at the Swans. Essendon also interested.

Good compensation if Kennedy does want to leave. But with him and Nick Malceski both leaving and the swans not being able to trade in any players it hurts their premiership chances next year.

Just to throw one out there, how do you think Ryan Griffen would go at RFC, what would we need to do to get him?

In days gone by he would have fitted in really well, the good old "tail wagging the dogs" days

But this big fish has a chronic back injury that may means you have no idea how many games let alone seasons you'd get out of him

Too big a risk, too much baggage

No - I'd rather gone after Frawley than this bloke  ;D

If his back injury is so bad, why haven't the Dogs jumped at the chance to get rid of him? Back our medical staff in, "WP". Ryan is not a bad bloke. Would go about his business just fine at Tigerland and if fit, would be a massive asset. I know it won't happen but I don't like it when people trap off about things they have no idea about

Jarrad Heyne has apparently quit Eels to play NFL.
Supposed to be a big day in trades and haven't heard anything yet but NRL news!!
Surely we are quiet for a reason? something big is happening? (high hopes, yeah right)
