Matthew Wright is someone who has gone alright since his move to the cowboys, wouldn't mind him on the wing, he's fast and has good skill with the ball

In reality, we only need a left winger.

Aitken and Peter M deserve to retain their spots, they both showed promise this year. Aitken in particular is only 19, and is our only 20's graduate seeing Hastings and Bird were not retained. He must be given every chance to develop, just to show others that a pathway from the 20's is possible. He's our only success story in recent years from our junior ranks.

Peter M is underrated in my opinion and has size and decent pace. He's shown silky ball skills as well. If had decent ball from the halves, he would have gone better.

Nightys been a given a contract extension and the consensus from here is that the right wing spot is his (even though I'm not entirely convinced it should be).

So based on the above, only the left wing spot is vacant now that Mann gives us utility cover.

And seeing as it is the 'Win a Flag Day' for all the simpletons, I'll answer.

- Not that I really care but I can't recall upsetting you? If so, my apologies.
- I don't give a f**k what you drink but it explains the constant ramblings of a madman. Maybe you should ease up when posting?
- Your admission to denouncing our worst coach in the history of our club clearly tells me you have form as a persistent pest/troll that has already been banned from here. See, this is what shits me. You constantly troll, yet good St George people get banned? You have been banned from here previously then and allowed back?
- Who were your previous usernames?
- Finally, your limited knowledge of football is not just restricted to Kurt Mann.
I'm happy to have everyone in here as long as they're not just trolling or looking for post counts in a pissing contest. I've not really been too bothered by your posts or as annoyed as a few others but give it a rest.
You enjoy that vodka :)

I only got halfway through this. It may be the off season but there is still only so much time I'm willing to waste on you.

You are really one very angry homie:?. I often flip out on people when something unrelated pi**es me off. Your way of doing it to some anonymous guy in an internet forum is better but still, to not do it at all is best. So I suggest you go and find yourself a good bottle of Soviet, Finnish or Scandinavian vodka, stay well away from Smirnoff, and stop being such a stressed homie:p.

Hey Basilkov, any reason you are hell bent on talking down a good young player that has decided to join us at the Dragons? Why don't you give him a chance before making your judgements, super coach.

Hey Rexxy, would it be better if I jumped onto the bandwagon and said he has to replace Matautai or Aitken simply because he came from Melbourne?

I think Vasil is a quality poster. Haven't always liked what he's written but he's kept it fairly respectful since then.

He's been happy to elaborate on his views when challenged which makes for good conversation.

I agree he's gone overboard on the term "homie", but then again I don't see why it should upset anyone too much? It's like saying "mate".

I know this may be a long shot and with his previous indiscretions would be worth a gamble taking on someone like Jacob Loko? he's off contract and could be very handy on the wing as either a depth player or something looking to push for a first grade spot. Obviously his off field issues and injury problems are a bit of an issue but might be worth a gamble in my opinion...

The latest on Loko, being investigated by police for alleged possession of ecstasy.

http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sp...stasy-possession/story-fnp0lyn3-1227555519901

THE NRL career of Canterbury player Jacob Loko is all but over after he was arrested in possession of ecstasy alongside a man police will allege is a drug dealer.

A police spokeswoman said officers arrested Loko, 23, at The Star casino at 6am on Saturday and allegedly found him carrying a small amount of MDMA. He was spoken to by police but was released without being charged however the police investigation is continuing.

Another man, 22, was also arrested and charged with supplying ecstasy. The 22-year-old was taken to Day Street Police Station and given police bail to appear in Downing Centre Local Court on October 21. It is understood that Loko may still be charged and that police are still reviewing CCTV footage.

Bulldogs CEO Raelene Castle said “we are aware of an incident and we’re seeking further information”. The club has since released the following statement and confirmed that the NRL integrity unit have been made aware of the incident

“Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs player Jacob Loko has been investigated by police in relation to possession of the drug ecstasy, a brief media release stated, “The NRL Integrity Unit have been notified and the club will continue to investigate the issue alongside police.
“Whilst contracted to the club until the end of the month, Loko has been told he would not have his contract renewed for 2016. “The club will not make any further comment until the investigation is complete.

The Bulldogs made the call last month not to resign Loko for next season. Given his chequered past, it is to be seen whether any other club will take the risk on signing him.
In February he pleaded guilty to high range drink driving at Manly Local Court after returning a blood alcohol reading almost four times over the legal limit.

He was hit with a four match ban and fined $10,000 after getting into a drunken brawl with Manly winger George Taufua outside a Sydney bar in May.

Fair enough homie. He's an ok homie I guess. For a homie.
As for outside backs, homie, I think we're doing ok. 4 or 5 more homies to come into this squad of homies we currently have.

Vasilevsky you're a mong.

Lol... As I said, I'm not fussed or upset by your posts and definitely not angry but you need to let us know your previous persona(s)?

WTF a 23 year old took recreational drugs!?!? SHOCK HORROR!!!!

Ban him for life! The NRL is no place for these degenerates! If he'd simply gone home and assaulted his partner I would reconsider my stance, but participating in an activity that hurts no-one but himself is completely unacceptable.

This! But as a centre, I think hes knees and speed are gone unfortunately & for those reasons alone I'd pass. Hurrell on the other hand...

If you homies think I'm going to roll over and adhere to your ideas just because you don't like my ideas, you have lost your f**king minds, vodka or not vodka.

FFS, I'm sorry but I haven't seen anything to suggest the Melbourne import (I won't say poached from Melbourne because I doubt they made him an offer) will be able to replace either of our good St George centres. I hope I'm wrong. Being a Dragons jnr takes a back seat to success. If I am wrong I will be very happy to apologize to all the homies suggesting he is a superstar or whatever. Just from what I have seen, he will have to improve a lot to challenge Aitken or Matautai for a starting position in the centres.
