Flanno's New Signings

[Jeremy Dragon]

Take your word as I could not find any corroboration of that. I have Loko Jr, Latu and Ackers ahead of Meafou. Watched him last week in losing Steelers side and he seemed to fade in and out of the match. Was he skipper that day?

Meafou did his ACL a few weeks ago not sure who you were watching

 

[baggygreen man]

Reed, King-Togia,

Quinn, Ward too. Like some movement re future on these two as they are doing good things in the St George pathways.

 

[baggygreen man]

What he did without saying a word and manning up early I find a bit gutless.

Do we know that to be fact or pure conjecture.

Well I dont think anyone has heard him say anything, I certainly havent seen it. Got the message from Hunt that he wanted to go and wasnt happy, nothing from him. I said for weeks he needed to come out and quash any rumours either way but he didnt.

Their #13, was not Meafou. Just that i heard he played lock. Did not know about the ACL injury. Just looked up the team list, was one of the Amones, so his drifting in and out of the match, does not surprise me.

 

[Pleasehelpstillchoking]

a lot longer than 25 years ago we might as well add in Col Rasmussen, Ian Walsh and Killer Kearney

And John Dowling and Luke Priddis

The whole thing is a bit of a shambles. Just sorry to see Zac leave us.

I agree, it certainly left me feeling gutted and angry to the way it happened, and I really cant blame the club for this, also how long ago would Parra have been in his and his managers ears. Its all above board because he has been released and they have signed him, nothing about what happened obviously for months prior. Just move along nothing to see here said the integrity unit, integrity unit my arse !!

In a way it's like being kicked in the guts that a player like Lomax, who I thought was going to be a dead set Dragon for life, has turned his back on us. If it has been months that he hasn't been happy and has been crying out to want to leave then something really bad must have happened which no-one is prepared to say what it was. In the article in the Daily Telegraph, Lomax said his future has been sorted after signing his 4 year deal with the Eels. Did he see that he had no future with the Dragons when he still had almost 2 and a half years left on his contract but wasn't enough for "his future"? Does he think that becoming an Eel will help him achieve more success - maybe? Does he have no faith in Flanagan as the head coach?

Something really bad has turned him off us that is for sure and it would be interesting to find out what that was.

There is more we fans dont know about this saga. And as IU has quashed it, we probably will never know. I am pissed off that Hunt released the info in the first place.

Indeed. It's purpose is to make sure 'integrity' doesn't complicate matters. There will be an episode of Utopia focused on this subject one day.

 

[baggygreen man]

Meafou did his ACL

Cant find any footage of him as has been big wraps on this kid too.

You missed the guy with the biggest heart, Chris Guider.
played in the 80s.

I suspect they'll wait for another week, because the team doesn't really train at all in these 5 day turnaround weeks: it's almost all recovery.

They did a full day's training yesterday short turn but they still do from minus 3 the same

 

[TheRev]

I'd be surprised if Brown replaces Marschke so quickly, even with the 1 training session.. but its not impossible.. I dont think it makes or breaks our chances anyway...

If not tomorrow, he will play in cup I assume, really keen to see what we have purchased.. I must admit I know nothing about him...

 

[Dragon the chain]

I was exaggerating. But the point is there's not much time to get a Nu player up to speed. I think they'll stick with Marschke this week.

We'll probably know in 75 minutes.

Meafou and Latu so far are standouts !!!!

you know when we saw Rylz, Bailey, Coops and Young, Gas, Morris boys etc in the juniors it looked obvious they would be strong 10 year like FG players...............for me Latu and Meafou look the same. you could also argue Pasifiki-Tonga the same. I just hope with us.

Im guessing 2026 Top30 if they maintain the same trajectory of impact and intensity which is a serious juggle and probably explains our recruitment of RFM, Sele, Luc etc to step change the junior talent but give us a 2024, 2025, 2026 chance of top4-8

If we cant offer 2026 Top30 we may struggle to keep them.

Ackers hits like a truck but his work rate isnt there yet.

Halangahu is a gem also but I worry there are a few like him out there in the SG Ball etc and he appears to be a player that may need to evolve into a prop / middle. He reminds a bit of MMolo rather then an edge backrower as he is now.




...........................
