Would you like Koroibete?

[Carlton]

I would like to know what your thoughts are on the Dragons having a crack at getting Koroibete.

If he is available I would like to see us have a go, I know he will be making it harder for a junior but he is experienced, 24 and has blistering speed. He plays left side and would be a good replacement for Gypsy.

Is the pope a catholic!!!!!

I don't think he is available and Millward is not looking for a winger. But yes for me mainly because we need some strike Power to catch Widdop's high kicks close to the line and we need a big strong winger to run the ball from dummy half when we are deep in our half.

Off course he is the sort of player we need has a lot of pace

Or..or...we could get Nene to do what he's paid for, which is exactly what you describe....

Yes one on each side of the field with Widdop and Hunt kicking high balls for them to score.

 

[BringTheNoise]

YES.

Spot on. This is a good example of an area where Mary comes up short in the coaching ranks(bench rotation and player selection being others). You have a player in Nene who is blessed with the attributes(speed, size, power)to be a devastating player but plays like a timid, wet lettuce leaf.

As for Koroibete, if he was available then its a yes.

 

[Smurf]

Yes

Absolutely . I mentioned him in another thread . If the Rebels fold he has said he will come back to the NRL and wants to move back to Sydney where his family is .

Koroibete would be excellent. Way better than Johnston. It would be good having Koroibete and McDonald on the wings with either Field or Dufty at fullback.

The question is do we need him? I think we have some pretty good juniors who could debut on the wing next year or the one after. I do not think Koroibete is a requirement. I think anyone of Herbert, Garrick, Marsters or Lomax could all be ready to play wing next year.

Yes! We do have a few really good prospects who could be promoted to a wing position however, if there was any chance of them being ready, I think you would find they would be considered. So the problem is timing. We don't have juniors ready right now so it is hard to place them.

 

[CarrrnDragons]

great signing if we could get him...

 

[coast_dragons]

Will head to the Eels.

 

[getsmarty]

Yeah....no brainer

The question should be rephrased to "Would Koribete want to come to the Dragons?"

 

[Drag Queen]

The question should be rephrased to "Would Koribete want to come to the Dragons".

If I had my way I would be approaching as many Kiwi Union players as I could. Depth in all positions 10 fold.

 

[BennyV]

There are very few wingers who would be worth recruiting for next year, as they would stand in the path of a number of very promising juniors who would be ready to rock.

Koribete is one such winger. Would sign.

 

[Carlton]

Another question, what do you think he would cost?

 

[coast_dragons]

He wouldn't cost as much as if he had stayed in the game.

Same as Curtis Rona.
