The Rumours Thread

[slippery5]

Will probably have to wait until after the Knight's game v Dolphins on the weekend until there is any news either way.
If we do sign one of these players it will mean both Finau and Allan, and maybe Sloan, will not be with us in 2026.
Lets wait and see.

My opinion has changed, I'm thinking out of the 3, I would keep Finau, has speed & willingness to compete.

 

[slippery5]

Off topic. If there is a game that looks so rigged, it's the one on tonight in Perth. By crikey it is so obvious. That Klein guy who is officiating is willy nilly giving the Maroons a clear passage to take this SOO game to a one all affair so the decider will be in play.

Well that is how I feel because, NSW are shit tonight hahaha!

How Klein is even considered for any level of NRL level referreing, is beyond me.
I would even prefer Belinda Sharpe

 

[Steel City]

So the Dogs will take him now regardless of the back injury??

Yes they want to manage his rehab, has nothing to do with clearing cap space.

June 30 now less then 2 weeks away, one email spat out by chatgbt from Tim Watsford to members only nothing since. Who are we looking at this is getting beyond frustrating!

I didn’t even get the member messages the last month or so…

Latu on the move before deadline. Hoping to get a forward his place as a swap. Let’s see what comes of it.

Does any other club ceo send emails telling the whole world who their talking to or chasing.

No that's not what its about he sends one email to members only what about non-members? i am a member so i got the email but i have a lot of family & friends who are not & support the club through thick & thin buying tickets, merchandise year in year out why can't he come out with a video message to fans & actually put his face out there to all fans at this point he is all about lip service & is a faceless ceo.

Ok
Not the way I read it.

I was venting as a whole regarding recruitment. But the CEO needs to come out with a press release & outline what his vision is to all fans not just send an email

The point is to reward membership.
But I agree it would be nice for him to put out a video through the Dragons social media. Maybe do an interview.

 

[Hound of Dracula]

Has a good relationship with Flanno

According to family links, Max King would love to emulate his grandfather (Johnny) by representing Australia.

Perhaps playing for the Dragons may also appeal? (if we weren't so bad)

i get that but something as big as that needs to address the whole fanbase, we get updates throughout the year that non members don’t get. I am a platinum member & i feel that the whole fanbase needs to be addressed how many non members are out there not re joining because they don’t believe in where the club is going you need to get those people back on board & bring new members in at the same time he is just closing out a large portion of supporters.

Respectfully, King isn't what we need. Not a player that's going to dominate a game or an opposition pack. Should not have been in the origin side either. For what he offers vs what you'd have to pay for him considering he's played origin now he'd be no where near worth it. Seems like a great guy though

Why are you already on the case of the new CEO who has been at the club five minutes, when the inept head coach and his son have been on the scene nearly two years and you still defend them both?

We always lose out on these types of trades we should be more ruthless & ask for Lipoi Hopoi that would be like for like.

Sounds like he will go to the Knights... We are keen to clear cap space by letting Latu go so makes me wonder who we have in mind.

Plenty of clubs, including the Dragons, would be looking at letting players go prior to 30 June.
I will be happy if the Latu release goes ahead as long as we get a very good front row forward in return.
We do not need any more back row forwards.

I'm convinced you're one of those people who has to wash their hands every time they see a red car.

I spoke to a WT marketing guy at a wedding a couple of weeks ago. Evidently everyone at WT reckon he’ll be off to the Dogs.
He is Galvin’s best mate, go everywhere together.

Hearsay, but there you go.
