The Rumours Thread

[Flinstone]

Do you think Lawrie and Guler could be coached any better.
They are not NRL standard starting front rowers, 0 aggression, they do not lead our pack at all, they follow, I doubt any team fears them.
Didn't Flano recruit Guler.

They are bad. Replace them with Sele and Loko and the difference will be big. Sele and Loko are more powerful and consistent as well as having tackle break and offload ability. They've got more skill. Guler and Lawrie are way too slow and don't have much ability. Pretty obvious

 

[Flinstone]

Sele is 18th man might not even play, I thought he has been good in his limited opportunities, LPT no even in the team.

 

[redV06]

He’s going to rely on senior players tonight. Expect Lawrie, Sele & Kerr to all play.
Obviously Lids plays so Jacob will go play a full game in NSW Cup I reckon. Probably needs it tbh.

Lpt deserves a top 17 spot . He may just make some metres and heaven forbid offload..
How has kerr regressed from dolphins form to his prior saints form

He's been relying on senior players and they have been terrible.

Kerr has been poor, maybe he needs to start, change his role because his not having any impact off the bench

Probs because they want him gone too...

Dragons close in on Cowboys’ Drinkwater as long-term fullback

There may be a freeze on retention at the Dragons, but it doesn’t extend to recruitment. Which is why the embattled club is attempting to sign Scott Drinkwater from North Queensland.

Yeah, my mum could coach them better. Coach them to run at holes, you know run a few lines occasionally. Teach them to off-load once in a while and to throw the odd cheeky short pass to each other or anyone really, if they did their opposition might be so surprised it might get us a line break or even a try. Quicker play the balls, more effort on kick chases, train harder, hit harder. I wouldn't suggest trying to get a sidestep out of either of them, that ship has sailed. Oh and teach Lawrie that when we're attacking in the opposition red zone, stay out of the way, leave it to the professionals.

 

[dragon thomo]

Kerr was ordinary when he last played for us and he is ordinary now. I can't believe all three are still playing first grade. Luciano would make a good modern day front rower. Drop one this week and put the other two on notice.

You sure Dargons don't think they are signing Josh Drinkwater instead?

Not used to signing good players.

The fact that they are/were, our starting front row, say's it all.
That is where our MAIN problem is.

Maybe Dolphins accomodated his skills more effectively? We haven’t! Hes not the first to fall into that category over the last decade. Makes me wonder why we recruited him if we don’t encourage him to express his best assets in the game …
(assumption on my part). He’s not your drag them out enforcer he’s like a Daryl Brohman offload type. If you want to get some attack going i’d play him to break up our predictictability, but in cameo type roles off the bench and tell him to go for it and follow him like a rover’s dog. Nothing to loose!

Is there room in your mums backyard for them to train?

He needs to start in NSW Cup

Kerr is extra-ordinary this year!

Like most of the big blokes, no ticker

Unfortunately I truly believe he never had it , from the first time he pulled the Dragons jersey on to now , his renaissance season back at the club . Such a shame for a big built man , mind you he is probably a very nice chap , but as a 1st grade rugby league player the fire is definitely missing .

Which reminds me , I saw J. W. Hargreaves on one off the footy shows last night looking as fit as a fiddle - I wonder if we may tempt him out of retirement for a season or two ?
