Milne gone to Tigers

[coast_dragons]

Look I am sure he will go well at another club. I just don't think that he is a massive loss. We have aitken, lafai, mann and maybe dodd all capable of doing as well a job as milne.
I say clam down and move on.
Remember the forum being completely obsessed with signing luciano leilua otherwise millward should be sacked, ra ra ra.
Those same people are saying leilua is overweight and nowhere near 1st grade? Huh?

Big Luc will always be a big guy who has the skill set but also lacks the discipline.

Good reason why Sele has now got the jump on him.

When Mary selected Aikten and Lafai ahead of Milne, that showed me that Mary is not up to NRL coaching. I still wonder if there are people behind the scenes who have a lot more say and influence over team selections than Mary does?

lol better call Fox Mulder.

You will find the Dragons will be in a tussle w Gold Coast for TUPOU from roosters

I call bullshit mickey. We bought Nene last year to be a first grade winger, despite his current form. We are looking to extend Nightingale. PLus there is talk of using a wing spot to bring Herbert and Garrick into first grade. Why the hell would we chase another winger, let alone get into a 'tussle' for one?!

Dragons are 5 wins 1 loss in 2017. Lafai and Aitken have been a big part of that.
WTF are you talking about with the Mary isn't up to NRL coaching for picking lafai and aitken before milne?
Maybe the fact that milne is sooking in reserves missing tackles says something about his character and Mary was right to let him go???
Just saying....

Milne should have been the first centre chosen. He should not have even been in reserve grade. I see him as the best centre at our club and the best center prospect that we have had since Gasnier. I have not seen Herbert or Garrick to comment on them.

He definitely should have been chosen in first grade - as a right centre, he is above Aitken IMO - and yet, I'm not completely bummed about this. Patty Herbert will have that right centre spot locked up soon enough, he's got a higher ceiling than Milne and I actually think he is a Gasnier-esque player with the way he plays. Garrick looks good on the wing, but apparently centre is his spot so I'm looking forward to seeing it.

The thing that seems strange to me is the 3-year Aitken deal, especially with the discussion of Dugan to the centres. Can't see where that fits in, outside of a 'sure thing' if the youngsters dont work out.

I'm one of Milne's biggest fans but him 'not trying' in reserve grade doesn't help his chances getting back into first grade.

I've already said that it's not the right way to react. But maybe he's already seen the writing on the wall???

Aitken is also a big reason why the Dragons aren't 6 wins and 0 losses!!!

Happy with Milne being a salary cap casualty, as long as we use the cash wisely on keeping the spine.

 

[Lovemedragons]

They were saying it was a done deal on 2SM Talkin sport yesterday and it was immediate.

Lot like his brother.

OK, thats true but he is also had a big hand in 2 of the wins so lets say that we are better off with him than without him this season.....

Do you rate levi dodd Benny?

 

[Crush]

Not so sure!!!

Fair enough, I wasn't a fan either after the parra game but I thought he was very good against sharks and manly.

 

[BennyV]

Do you rate levi dodd Benny?

To be honest, i havent seen enough of him to rate him one way or another. Seems like a solid enough player and may make a fist of first grade, but I think others may have got the jump on him and it feels like he'll make a career out of reserve grade unless he goes elsewhere.

I have only seen snippets of him but he looks the goods. Strong kid.
I had high hopes for milne but for whatever reason it hasn't worked out.
I think mann has it in spades over milne though, I am convinced now that he needs to be re-signed.

 

[dragonssamy61]

Where do you get this stuff from ?

Denis he just reads it on rumor pages and guess.
Then hopes he might get one right

 

[JDHD]

For me Pat Herbert is a all round better prospect than Milne . Herbert has been the Cutters best back so far this year . He will be pushing for first grade next season I am sure .

Millward has said publicly that Field, Herbert and Garrick are all expected to take that next step into grade in 2018.

100%. Aitken has scored six tries and Lafai has a couple plus a few try assists. We've won 5 of 6 with that centre pairing being a key facet AND PEOPLE ARE STILL BITCHING. f**k.

This is a pisstake, right? We got a boot up the arse in round 2 and haven't lost since and you think us not having a perfect record is enough to criticise Aitken? I assume you're joking. If not, give yourself a f**king triple.
