Yay, good stuff Dragons!

 

[grouch]

We lost an occasional bench player that we were paying $50k!

 

[Fingerbang]

This Dragons forum has an awful lot of glass half empty people in it.

Normally, we have to wait until the post Origin slump to see all the negativity from you.....now it is happening before pre season training has started.

 

[redvwhite]

A player we were paying 50k for that almost single handedly got us into the preliminary final.

 

[Fingerbang]

And he always has been ultra consistent, hasn't he? Won't be difficult replacingh him.

You would have whinged if we had to cut a Weyman or a Creagh so we could pay him the extra $200k per year he wanted.

 

[redvwhite]

Gee some people are thick. We are lacking depth up front and back. Sorry to tell you but Vidot, Miller, Vea and company are not known for their consistent form.

I have a new flash. 230+k a season just made itself available when Moltzen reneged on his deal.

 

[Fingerbang]

And will be better spent on someone else rather than Adam Cuthbertson

And some people are happy to just throw any spare money on guys who are not worth the amount they want.

 

[redvwhite]

You know what mate i'd prefer to trust Wayne Bennett's judgement over yours. Just remember what I am saying now when we get a few injuries next year and lack the calibre of player we have lost recently.

Some people are still on their high from October 2010.

 

[Willow]

Got a link for that dragon-83?

Gee some people are thick.

No, people just have a different opinions. Yours might seem thick to others but your opinion is noted anyway.

Cuthbertson would have wanted at least $250K, that's about what he earned in 2011 with the sharks topping it up. We got him for $50K and made an offer to extend. Newcastle are talking with their cheque book.

 

[Fingerbang]

Good for you. I still reckon Adam Cuthbertson would have struggled to even make the 17 next year. Starting 6 plus a bench of Merrin, King or Rein, Prior, and then you have De Belin, Matthews, Ah Mau....just need one of them to step up and claim a bench spot. A lot of money for someone to spend most of the year in NSW Cup.

I'll cop that regarding opinions, it's true. I understand Dragons don't like to fork out unnecessary money and love to rely on young talent but right now, IN MY OPINION, we need a strike player or someone with added spark and we just sit there with our hands behind our backs. I don't like it.

How do you know Price and Folkes don't have plans for something happening right now?

De Bellin will do the hards yards and he'll get better with experience in first grade but really is not touted as a strike player or game breaker...Matthews and Ah Mau I can't comment on as I haven't seen much of them (which is what worries me in or recruiting this season). We were lacking an ingredient last year and Cuthbertson brought some of it to the table. Moltzen was a great buy given Boyd and Gaz's departure but now we look a little silly.

I don't. I would like to know that very much. What I do know is that the market has closed.

Moltzen was hardly our fault.

And Cuthbertson brought it to the table, in what....1 or 2 games out of 26?

 

[Fingerbang]

And the market never closes, my friend.

 

[redvwhite]

And the market never closes, my friend.

We are part to blame for Moltzen but I don't really have a bone with the Dragons about that, but what they've seemingly do to make it up for it on the playing field I am yet to be pleased about.

The market is not closed right...Reece Simmonds is half price at the moment.

 

[Rexxy]

We are part to blame for Moltzen .

how?

do you even know .0000001 percent of how player markets and rugby league clubs work?
