Triple signings rock the NRL, as Bulldogs get double hit and Roosters get their man

CANTERBURY have landed two massive blows, the Roosters have got their No. 1 target and the Wests Tigers have been gutted as the NRL player market kicks into overdrive.

James Tedesco and Aaron Woods are leaving the Tigers with the fullback joining the Roosters and the prop linking with the Bulldogs, who have also snapped up Kieran Foran from the Warriors after just missing out on snaring Tedesco.

The Bulldogs will announce their signings next week.

Tedesco was all but “over the line” at the Bulldogs before the Roosters stepped in to trump their offer, ending weeks of the most frantic contract negotiations.

The Wests Tigers were still unaware of the latest developments, giving Tedesco and Woods a deadline of Friday afternoon to reveal decisions they have in fact already made.

It’s understood Woods and Tedesco have already informed some Tigers teammates of their decision to leave the club.

The signing of three of the NRL’s biggest names has massive ramifications for the Bulldogs, the Newcastle Knights, the Wests Tigers and St George Illawarra.

Foran rejected the Storm and the Newcastle Knights for the same reason — to be closer to his young children on Sydney’s northern beaches.

The game’s next big signing blitz will now involve the unwanted Bulldogs stars.

The Roosters too will almost certainly have to offload players to get Tedesco on board in a $1 million plus contract.

Surely this is a joke. We haven't had more than 50% of the ball in any of our games and have still made the most errors. So we nullify this by signing the bloke with the worst hands in the NRL?

I would be disappointed if he was our next signing. Third signing ok.

Pretty much this.

The guy can be awesome on his day but for the past 1-2 years he's obviously gotten tips off the Burgess bros on how to catch a ball. Has lost the chooks games single handedly on a few recent occasions.
 
So they are saying dogs need to release 2.5 million worth of talent next year. So at the moment dogs are 2.5 million over cap 2018. Great way to ensure top talent gets spread around nrl registering these deals. Stuff the nrl.
