Our top 30 has been finalised weeks ago.
Thommo isnt going Manly in 2018, nor is Walmsly coming to the Dragons in 2018.
We have 2 in development squad: Sailor and Masters. The other one Nisbet is an interesting one because not confirmed as yet. He would also be added (if proven true) to the D squad.

Yep same as Matheson Johns, Hayden Lomax, Joe Lovodua and I think 2 others.......some may join the D squad and some like Morris will play exclusively in the U20's comp.
As for 2019 well thats a different story!

Ash Nisbet looks the goods and is 193cms and 101kgs playing centre, lock and second row. He has pace, good pass, rugged defence, ability to make breaks and has scored a few tries. He seems to play the game like Rod Reddy as he seems very mobile and blockbusting. Here's hoping this former Australian Schoolboys' Captain
makes the grade.

He a big unit 100 plus kg.
He an australian schoolboy.
He is quick can play in the back row.
Has some talent.

 

[nontime111]

wow thanks so much! sounds like the kind of skilled mungrel we could do with

 

[Dragon Revival]

In the highlights reel Nisbit looks the goods and has the speed to get through the gaps. I hope that our young forwards and backs get good coaching at NSW Cup level as last year their was little direction or cohesion.

Anyone know who the reserve grade coach is going to be? Will it be that Pommy coach we signed - I think Agar is his name?

Head will be reserve grade coach.
Agar is a recruitment manager

the lad looks damn impressive! im so rapt we picked him up he should be pushing for first grade next season

Yikes. We might be in trouble with this duo.

 

[BennyV]

Lol, Nisbet isnt even in our Top 30 and is well down the list of edge backrowers even if we lose Thompson. Wont see a minute of first grade in 2018.

Keep your logic to yourself. There's no place for it here!

Didn’t many of our juniors like Leilua look that good and better when in that comp?
How soon before they hit 1st grade?
Didn’t we buy Kerr because he looked that good, when will he hit 1st grade?
Yet again we buy someone who will be heralded by many in here before they rate our own and regardless they will all languish behind the Latimore’s and Allgood’s.

Give it up. Nobody has said these two were starting players. Latimore might prove you wrong though. Remember Vaughn?

I don't get this signing, we have young backrowers and even though he looked OK in the video it was U20s and he was not much better than many others. I would love to know what the thinking is behind his signing and what the plan is for him.

When I look at the roster and the contract end date of players it just doesn't seem right unless we have some specific players targeted for recruitment for next year. It would also seem to indicate that there are a number of players in the squad who are filling spots pending new signings and wont be around past this year.

Personally I still cannot understand how we have used all the cap unless we have front ended contracts. Which if we are looking to complete the signings next year may be the case.

1stly why did we need another young back rower does that infer what we have won’t make it?
2ndly The Mc Crone philosophy is still at our club. Remember the coach said he was a 100 game plus NRL veteran so is a must pick player.

Good points. my understanding is he has been added to reserve grade squad part time i.e. same as Payne and Clune Bros but I may be wrong.
