Sua informed the club& players he won’t exercise his option for 2027.
I’m actually happy. Look at his game lately, been slow getting back into line , moving sideways is getting difficult , has been beaten multiple times on his outside.
I think the ankle issues from last year still exsist.

Cant say smart move by the club but not worried when we have Hanagalu & Egan waiting.

Was the same as JDB, starting to move slower .
Extra 700k in our pockets

Hold on fellas. Let's not get too hot headed.

Let's be real here. Sua and Leilua have been two of our better players in a horrible year. Adding Keaon to those two plus Stewart, Egan and Halangahu and you are cooking with gas

I'm all for a clean out but these two we should at least try to hang on to. This is why we needed to be quicker to address the free fall we've been in.

I actually don’t believe the talk of sua being good this year . Seems a few paces off to me
Last year yes probs one of our best. Though go re watch our games this year. One of the last to track back, isn’t come off his line as quick.
I think the signs are there that the games getting abit quick for him And few ankle injuries may be catching up to
Him

It's my misfortune to support two teams in different codes - the Dragons and Liverpool in the EPL (I like red and white supporter colours). Both teams currently have supporters venting on social media about the boring, negative playing style favoured by the manager/coach and the constant losses. Fans of both clubs are walking out before the end of matches, booing the coaches/managers and players and fed up with the owners for refusing to take action to rectify the situation. Players from both clubs have either signed with or are linked with other clubs from next season.

At least Liverpool's manager Arne Slot can claim that he won the EPL title in 2024-5 but Flanagan has nothing but the gift of the gab to fall back on.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Tuesday Board meeting merely confirmed that the Board retains full confidence in coach Flanagan and, given the Dragons were actually leading in the match against Manly at one point, this is as good as a win. Therefore, he is being offered a further one extension on his contract.

Not fussed about Sua. He is paid well and honestly the Coachman brothers put up better numbers and they are still early in development. Liam Martin would be a good signing but talk is the roosters are after him so that's that. New coach will get to come in and build the squad around our young core. This tells me Flanno is gone so a clean out is necessary

As I said before the game ha changed, conventional front rowers are struggling with the new game. Back rowers now seem to be more suited to front row. They are more mobile.
Leilua would make a very good new type front rower just like Keon. Maybe Sua could be the same which would fix our front row.
I also feel Sua would be a terrific back rower. If that's the case Alamotte Averillo or Shibasaki would be good to chase.
Plus another fast winger to partner Sami as our two wingers are very ordinary
