Dragons interested in Luke Douglas

[Turk]

Nothing to be really excited about but a good replacement for Mike Cooper. At the right price i think he could be a solid signing.

 

[BennyV]

Meh, not too fussed. I agree that we need another first-grade ready prop, but would prefer Vaughn. I don't think Sele is ready for a full season of first grade, but I'd be making sure he get a few chances next year.

 

[BrissyRedV]

At the right price he would be excellent for the Cutters....

 

[West coast dragon]

Yaaaaaawwwwwwwwn!!

 

[Mr Red]

Please enlighten us how an average prop who will be 31 next year would add more value off the bench compared to one of our younger players like Host?

 

[hazzbeen]

Yaaaaaawwwwwwwwn!!

We are interested in everyone , and get very little ....

Mate i think its more media beat up then anything else.
We got forwards coming through the grades, host, sele, leilua, and we have Wakeman that could do as good a job if not better then douglas and would cost a third of the price.
Our management is inept, but i highly doubt they would be THAT silly!!!

My point exactly need a halfback sign Luke Douglas lol cue the benny hill music!

 

[blacksafake]

Why?

 

[Lethal25]

There's a depth signing and then there's a depth signing...........................

Sign Leilua and move away quickly from Douglas

 

[Dragsters]

If we end up with Douglas and the tigpies get Vaughn then recruitment have to be kidding themselves.

 

[RedVDragon]

No need ex scum we have enough players in the pack to cover coops.

 

[Dr Fruitbasket Returns]

Disgraceful recruitment target. They want to come last.

You would hope so, however our previous recruitment history has me nervous....
Barge ass,
McCrone,
Nielsen,
George Rose,
Bronson Harrison to name a few..

We do have a recent history or buying players on the backend of their careers because they have "experience" just like Douglas, and they offered very little in return ...

The hope here is they've learnt from these mistakes, moving on Benji and Rein is a positive sign they have

With benji and mcrone, we didnt really have many options available to promote.
Same with george rose, at the time we didnt have any big bodies coming through.
Im not defending these decisions, just looking at it from a different perspective.
Neilson, farrell etc were just really bad decisions, decisions someone needs to be held accountable for.
Douglas, there is no way in hell i can see us needing him with the crop we got coming through the junior grades and the ones we have ready to go.
We need to focus on a number 7 first and foremost.
Our stocks up front are looking pretty good.
Our stocks in the backs arent too bad either (and yes if injuries do occure i believe some of these young guns would step up nicely!)
Douglas im more then certain is just media beat up.

It's the players the Titans reject that make Dousty's recruitment the best...

or something like that

 

[2010]

There is only two signing we should concentrate on, a coach and a 7

 

[Coffs dragon]

Totally agree and that is high priority. There is a reason that Luke Douglas left the Sharks, Knights & soon the Titans......he's ordinary and not worth keeping. We have enough of that recycled shit.

Luke Douglas ? Luke Douglas ? Was he not the BIG signing that Wayne Bennett was after , the one who he managed to convince to leave Cronulla and go to Newcastle ?

With all due respect to the man , he hasn't quite set the world on fire . The potential was there whilst he was at Cronulla , but unfortunately it never did happen .

Too long long in the tooth , if it was that other former Cronulla player , young Clff Watson , I would say yes , he might even be able to bring that cheeky red-haired half with him !
