Ando's New Signings

[qld redvee]

Bula is another one, he hasn't accepted Tigers extension for 900k yet, is he trying to get more.
If Dragons are serious they will need to offer him over 900k and possibly more years, otherwise why would he leave.
Is he worth 1mil ?
Who else is there Conner Tracey, Will Kennedy.
Chevy Stewart would come cheap but nothing special.

I cant see how bula is worth that much a season. Surely there are other options out there

We don't have a good fullback ready for first grade. I just watched the Parra v Broncos and keep asking myself, why didn't the Dragons get a first-class halfback for 2026 as Parra did?

I agree Possum. We all hear about we are on the move to becoming a powerhouse. We need to start WINNING...even the close matches, I am not satisfied with just putting in a great effort anymore. No more excuses. Don't blame the refs. Either we are good enough or we are not to be winning matches. Lets start tomorrow night against the Storm.

Agree qld redvee however, Bula in the right time and space.

He may be happy to stay on very good money and Tigers might want him to stay and it may come to nothing.

I think Bula played first grade at the same time as Sloan and has developed quicker.

If he becomes available, the club can start the process and let the fun begin, and I think he's the best option to lock in a spine signing added to the young pack.

When does Ponga's contract end?

Bula may not be an elite fullback but if we can imagine the "possibility" of 2027 having the inclusion of Bula, Reed and KK.
I think the team looks a lot better.

I would also move Leilua to the prop rotation and select Egan in his place. If not let Leilua go and recrit another prop.

KK
T Couchman
Kerr
Leilua or new prop.

Tonga
R Couchman
Sele

Because a first class halfback would want more than 1 year contract. I suspect our plan is to have Reed and Atko in the halves by 27. Having a first class half in the team this year would block Reeds path. It doesn't make sense.

I reckon the plan is to concentrate on and build defense this year. Build on that with attack next year.

Against a seriously weakened Warriors

Two starting halves not playing

lost Capewell in the warm up

how has everyone rated Tamales game tonight

wow weeeeeee shocker ?

 

[Maximus]

The same people saying we should sign Bula for 1m would be calling him an overpaid dud 12 months later, and calling for the board's head for signing him.

 

[dragon thomo]

Drinkwater would be a good target, smart footballer

 

[SEAT 1A]

When does Ponga's contract end?

Good question possm.

If we are going to throw that type of cabbage out, go for top shelf. He's a bit hot and cold for me.

There is always something going on with him. Not Lomax level drama, but the press would have had a field day if he was still with us.

 

[RedVLife]

We need some good forward rotation. Couchman and Stewart are very good and with Koloamatangi coming we have lots of big minute middles. I do think we need a 30-40 minute enforcer off the bench which is why I think we should go all out for Toby Rudolf.

[John moz]

9 players in top 30 off contract end of season . And 9 players should be moved on no value to the squad free up cash start getting to work Ando with at least 3 marquee signings . And no name nsw cup players not excepted only Nrl players with more than 50 games of experience.
Zero tackle has all players off contract with all clubs .

Teams

2021 St. George-Illawarra Dragons NRL Telstra Premiership squad, Dragons players and Canterbury Cup NSW squad.

www.dragons.com.au

As at 16th March our website still only shows 26 players in the top30 despite having to have 28 players in the top30 end of Feb

no confirmation to fans who our Supp list is despite us guessing who is the 6 players that make that list
