What a complete and utter kick in the bollocks.🤬
He's played 14 f*cking games for us, 14!!! You could almost understand Evalds going after 11 years and we all know why Jacko left to try and get a gig back in Aus. The least said about Watson/Yates/Tui etc the better but this is one I really didn't see coming. Dupree really seemed to have bought into the culture at the club and I can only think they're offering massive money for him to have handed in a transfer request. This shouldn't be out in the open though, it should be being discussed behind closed doors and then a deal agreed privately if there's no persuading him to stay or the money is just way too much for us to compete with.
Who is Dupree's agent btw?

Who is Dupree's agent btw? I've heard it's Harris, but I don't now for sure. Agree, it should be private. I don't begrudge him wanting to make more money if it's on offer. It's a short career and RL players don't make millions. Even 15k a year over a 15 year career is 225k - a house for a lot of people. I imagine Harris (or whoever the agent is) has made this public to try and add pressure and force a move. We've turn down two offers apparently, but the power lies with us as he has a contract until 2025. Get as much as you can for him... and offer him elsewhere, see if anyother club bites and we can tell KR to **** off. |

Well it hasn't taken HKR long to become one of the predators, has it?

F*ck him there’s always a couple hanging around the championship that are looking for the opportunity. Make it a bidding war and let them fight over the scraps
On a more positive note there might be a way to turn this into a game-changer for the club👍

If it's 15k a year (and I assume it's a lot more than that) then that's negotiable and not something you should be handing a transfer request in over. If the club managed to get to Wembley again and had a good run in the play-offs then that's decent bargaining power for Dupree and any other players that are being courted. I'd have no issue with that as it's Performance Related Pay. Doing it so early in the season just smacks of Harris pushing him towards the move. Unless something has gone on behind the scenes, which I've heard no rumours of. Seriously disappointed in Tyler the way this has panned out. |

deviltalk.co.uk/post/new/3203Remember Harris was the subject of the huge row between Bradford & Leeds - one which the Bulls never recovered from. He will be on £20k+ if this is pulled off so maybe we can understand his motive. Typical of the man sadly.

Let Durpree go for a Fee if he does not want to be here and reinvest.

Maybe Eseh from Wakey? It's a shame Wigan have had so many injuries at prop otherwise Nsemba or Hill would have been available fot loan.

Eseh is a good option but the problem is clubs won’t be willing to let props go mid season with the shortage of them. Dan Norman Fenton Rodger’s John Luke-Kirby Are a few younger props I’d go for along with eseh and we need a experienced prop, maybe worth looking at the q-cup |

Been told feelers are already out there from us hoping to bring in one for now and one for next year. Talks of Dudson being offered about by Warrington

I'd take Dudson if Warrington continues to pay a percentage of his salary until the end of next season - he signed for two years with them and I doubt he'll want to take a pay drop and I doubt we would want to pay him what Warrington are (and shouldn't do either). He always went pretty well for us.
