nice wish list

 

[Forster Dragon]

Just having a think about Penrith and the way they have turned things around.Maybe this could be us with good management in place.
We do have a good base to work off.

Good list except I'd keep Matthews. Mary has not helped his progression as a player.

 

[Mickthedragon]

I wouldn't argue against any of thos barring maybe Matthews.

Replacements?

 

[Dragonslayer]

Replacements?

Agree, no pinot having a "list" of gone, when you have no-one to replace them with.
I still think we will re-sign Marketo and Quinlan, and Matthews hasn't been given a full opportunity as yet.
We've signed 4 juniors recently but it's hard to say when they will be ready for 1st grade and you can't put them all in, all at once, it would look like the Knights this year.

 

[grouch]

Replacements?

Chris Hyde from the NRL Rookie show to replace Mitch Rein. He's 28 and has never played NRL, but at least he seems to possess the ability to pass.

 

[Slippery Morris]

Marshall and Thommo are keepers for me. Widdop would be chopped.

 

[CarrrnDragons]

I like your list and agree with all pretty much. Here's some ideas of names to add in;
Nathan Brown (rabbits front row)
Josh Kerr (Storm Front/Back Row)
David Mead (Gold Coast Winger)
Kurt Baptiste (Raiders Hooker)
Nathan Ross (Newcastle Winger)
Paul Carter (unsigned utility)
Tim Browne (Bulldogs Front/Backrow)
Curtis Rona (Bulldogs Centre)

add in from 20's
Dufty
Leilua
Host
Garrick
Sele

Dufty
Leilua
Host
Garrick
Sele

They would be excellent replacements , young and full of potential . I particularly like the addition of Nathan Brown , one tough Hombre ,and also Nathan Ross , he never stops trying , they would all look good in the Red V .

 

[St Tangles]

add in from 20's
Dufty
Leilua
Host
Garrick
Sele

I would also include Patrick Herbert in this list of 20's to include

 

[Red V for life]

I would also include Patrick Herbert in this list of 20's to include

Hopefully these boys are a tight knit group who will stick together and be a major part of our rebuild.

 

[coast_dragons]

Host and Sele will be part of the top tier players next year

Dufty, Herbert, Lawrie & I Thomspon will more then likely move into the top 30 players next year.

Taufa & Leatigaga should be considered to be moved up.

If leilua stays he most certainly will be moved up into first grade.

Garrick & Robson may spend some time with the Cutters along with Jurd & Allouche if they keep him.

 

[Dragon Revival]

Patrick Herbert reminds me of a younger
Benji Marshall in that he runs fluidly and has a spring or bounce when he swerves to change direction.

 

[coast_dragons]

Herbert is not just a good player he is a really nice young fellow from what some of my rellies told me.

 

[Twenty10]

Doust - Gone
Mcgregor -Gone

Lafai- Gone
Havili-Gone
Creah -Gone club champion
Rein -Gone
Quinlan -Gone
Farrel -Gone
Mathews -Gone
Marketo-Gone
Widdop- Lose Captaincy

Hahha yeh.... Your list of players to come in will be a good chuckle. Nobody wants to go to the gong. FACT.

 

[rasaint]

Panthers have turned it around. Probably make the 8 yes. Win comp no.

Moylan they need desperately and he is such a silky player.

 

[nrlnrl]

I like your list and agree with all pretty much. Here's some ideas of names to add in;
Nathan Brown (rabbits front row)
Josh Kerr (Storm Front/Back Row) - apparently signed with Dragons
David Mead (Gold Coast Winger)
Kurt Baptiste (Raiders Hooker)
Nathan Ross (Newcastle Winger)
Paul Carter (unsigned utility) - could end up at Storm on his last chance in the NRL
Tim Browne (Bulldogs Front/Backrow) - word is he's gone to the Panthers
Curtis Rona (Bulldogs Centre) - he'll be playing rugby union with the Western Force

add in from 20's
Dufty
Leilua - will have to pay overs to retain him, but worth the gamble
Host
Garrick
Sele

As a few others have mentioned, attracting players is going to be very tough & Dragons will have to pay overs.

 

[nontime111]
