I think if Saints can get some angry pills into LPT he could be the big alpha prop we are after. Kerr and Klemer can also provide some grunt in short spurts. Griffen Neane/ Liam Henry would add to that. LPT has the size and footwork to be close to Payne Haas. LPT is still young. I like what I saw of LPT and you can see he is going to get better and better each year.

The thing with Loko is he is still only 19. We really blooded some young quality forwards this year. Same as Halangahu add Egan, Stewart, Nick T at 21, Couchies 22. All still 3-4 years from their best. Future is bright in the pack, if we keep them all….

Shame NAS is off the table.

Sounds as though he's off to R360 however, still in two minds for paying overs for a front rower.

Kerr had a great year but don't know if he can do long minutes and hope Klem gets another year. Add Gular and hope Sele can overcome his injuries and the pups.

Sour grapes from Anasta., anyone who watched the nsw cup final will know Ilias was overshadowed by Tanah Boyd, who himself is not marquee 7..
Ilias is another super league type 7, not quite good enough to lead a team around, unless the team is stacked with talent.

“That treated someone like that”

Ok, picked him up from Souths reserves. Gave him first shot as NRL halfback. After a few bad results he was dropped. He never forced his way back to the NRL side.

sounds a perfectly normal situation that has happened hundreds of times. Nothing earthshaking?

So dragons openly say they want an alpha prop. Nelson one of the biggest alpha props becomes available and we don’t want him? Makes zero sense. There’s no better alpha prop available for 2026. Surely a 2 year deal was achievable.

 

[St Tangles]

If I was running the club I would rule out making a play for any of Anasta's players.

I think it's safe to say Anasta has done that for them.

Whilst he is on NRL360 in my opinion its for the best

Ilias just wasn't up to it

For those that have Instagram often times Shane Flanagan is responsive to fan questions to his credit which is well known. I asked him today about NAS i have also had fellow fans send me his response on Pezet & Stewart all of which are not options for 2026 i can only go off what he replied back with wether or not we are indeed in for them i am sure we will know in due time.

Pezet - No chance sorry.
NAS - too much $$$
Chevy Stewart - No mate sorry

He did reply to a fellow supporter that we can expect 2-3 more signings.

Haha this Issac flogg took your comment and turned it into a click bait story.

"While the high-profile prop is likely to earn a new deal in the coming months, Zero Tackle understands it will not come from the St George Illawarra Dragons, with sources indicating the club is not interested in his services."

"The Dragons have also ruled out a play for fellow Storm teammate Jonah Pezet, after the young halfback activated his exit clause to depart the powerhouse club.

Despite the Dragons' lack of halfback depth, the prospect of bringing Pezet in is reportedly not on the cards."

Seems we’re running out of options for marquee signings…. won’t happen for next season…. Kyle to stay as 6 or 7… no significant upgrades in the forwards plus minus Devlin…..hope they’ve got some rabbits in the hat

Nelson is fearsome no doubt but maybe he doesn't have the footwork, lateral movement and aerobic capacity to cope at the top of the NRL for his pay packet any longer. Gets caught out and ends up throwing high shots in desperation. When Melbourne let them go it is usually for a reason.

 

[shiloh dc]

Don't Stop Believin' - we will sign a Journeyman!

 

[BIG RIG]

This clubs recruitment baffles me

 

[Murfy]

Nelson is not worth our time. The guy is a walking sin bin and suspension these days. With the new laws and policing of head highs he has become a liability. There’s a reason why storm were reluctant to play him this year and were happy to let him go

 

[saints4ever]

Storm have been trying to get rid of NAS for over 12 months and no one has signed him.
Tells you a lot of evat you need to know. Best steer clear

Haven’t got much enthusiasm for Gular and Sele is made of plasticine.
