New recruits for 2023

[Dragon David]

Agree but I can see Brodie playing ahead of Sullivan knowing Hook .....

No use talking about Croft as he won't be coming anyway but the club will be searching high and low for a back up half in my opinion but if Sullivan is fit, he will be the first choice to play alongside Hunt in the spine in first grade.

By searching high and low, you mean searching through retirement homes for replacement players right?

and prisons... c'mon.

 

[Saints Forever]

Is there a gun Wallaby half out there?

Or the pommy George Williams?

in my opinion Im glad that we backed out of this potential deal because from what i remember of Brodie he wasnt exactly a 'world beater " whilst playing in nrl so to me smacks of desperation, and would it have been for 1 or 2 years ? we need to stick it out with Bud or worst case mbye .. I think we need to concentrate on signing some forwards

 

[Auntie.Gerald]

I suspect we sniffed around but to me it looks like the Dragons leaking to the media the problems they face to replace Junior with an equivalent

Even though Brodie is not really an equivalent but he is atleast experienced somewhat

The media will run a mile with a dragons problem and an nrl problem

I wonder who makes the calls on an equivalent ?

Ie if we used the money for the best 18yr old in the comp ???? If the same $ as Junior?

Correct thoughts, if Bellamy or other good coaches couldnt get the best out of him then Hook is no chance, once again just persist with our juniors because there is nothing out there and if there is its 2nd rate.

Croft won the Man of Steel in Super League last year. So for anyone who says we should raid Super League for players, they need to know that last season Croft was the best of them.

 

[ground zero]

Must be a Penrith junior or 2 we could poach. H/5/8.

 

[OneEyedDragon]

Just read a rumour that the Dragons are looking at getting Josh Cook from the Rabbits. Apparently he is a hooker and an Irish international. He hasn't played a lot of first grade, but is only 23.

 

[jeffdragon]

We are short handed.
Croft is better than nobody at all.
Sullivan is hardly reliable with injury.
The season will he over if we wait forJune 30.
We need players now.

We signed Musgrove and Murdoch Masila.
Hardly wirld beaters.
We are short in the halves big time that's what we need.

Surely that can’t be true . We have just signed a 9 and have 2 others waiting in the wings. If this comes true then I’m sharpening my pitchfork & heading for Harans place !

3 x 9 = 27 . Maybe there's a mistake in a formula in the recruitment spreadsheet. Next we'll recruit a 3 and that's the full squad done!

 

[kit66]

I just read about the Brodie Croft thing, what a joke, what a sh*tty club we follow. Our recruitment is beyond ridiculous, it's like deliberate sabotage, just buy the worst contenders you can find.

 

[Saints Forever]

We are better off trialling Zach Herring

For all we know he may be a great backup for Sullivan

Tackling efficiency 90%, no worse than Hunt.

Herring is out too injured

Its amazing really isnt it dennis- lets keep grooming young conner m on development/ sign liddle as straight replacement for mccullough / get a storm feeder club on a train and trial ( hopefully sign ) and then still have mbye
and now we look at this souths kid ???? i would rather what we have and look for another forward. We just love to put roadblocks up in front of promising youngsters WE HAVE NO ROSTER MANAGEMENT

FFS it's a bullshit rumour for starters he is not even at Souths left in 21 dogs then let him go half way thru a contract he has no club.
But let's lose our shit because some random shared a Facebook rumour from some other flogg

Jeremy thanks for clarification on his playing status and I am glad that this is a totally fabricated story
and yes we lose our shit over things like this as we are passionate diehard supporters that want us off the bottom and back to a "powerhouse" team again
and its been the offseason that we didnt need ....
