    Any chance we’re one of the two teams talking to Eddie Jones? With not much out there to hopefully replace Griffen next year, maybe a punt on Cheika or Jones is worth it. If you surround them with the right league brains, they’re man management skills could be gold.

    Round 1 vs Warriors

    Simms picked in front row for reserves. So calf not the issue. Odd due to the position he’s picked and that it’s the last year of his contract. Are they trying to shift him on earlier? Or is it simple to give him game time. Big fall from grace from origin in ’21. It seems like Hook can’t ever...

    Blake Lawrie Extended!

    One year I scored 28 tries and made 26 tackles, in the season!! So yep a true winger. I hear all you say I just feel that Lawrie has great effort and attitude, he just doesn’t have the strength to bend the line. I don’t feel anyone is scared of tackling him. He’s still young and definitely...

    Blake Lawrie Extended!

    As an ex winger I’m certainly no expert on front rowers however I feel there are two types of props. Those that get to the defensive line quickly, and those that get their metres post contact. Ryles, C Smith and Weyman carried multiple guys and made good metres post. Lawrie gets 90% off his...

    Team vs Eels Trial Game 1

    He pinged his hamstring in training.

    The Rumours Thread

    Is the James Schiller on the wing this weekend for the Raiders the kid we had coming through the Dragons ranks?

    Anthony Griffin Extended Contract

    My concern heading into this year was that due to Hook only having a year guaranteed to run, that he would be disincentivised to pick the juniors. To get the immediate wins he’d go safe and pick players like Mbye at 5/8. However now with some contract certainty he has no excuse not to look a...

    The Rumours Thread

    Surprised to read to Moga is the best mentor for a lot of the juniors. Whilst that’s made me like him more, it does make me worry a little about the potential lack of mentorship from some others I’d have expected. Hunt, De Belin, Lomax, Simms etc. Maybe I’m over reading it. The team as a whole...

    2022 Squad: Gains, Losses & Re-signings.

    To me it doesn’t make sense to have so much bulk in the backline. We need to balance bulk with speed. Having Suli and Moga could be a liability. Big centres need speed on their outside. Plus with the changes to the game and more tiring defences, speedy outside backs around the middle of the park...

    The Rumours Thread

    Yeah I remember the same commentary about him. We’ve had a few junior kangaroos at homer who haven’t kicked on (Cameron King). Robson seems perfectly suited to current faster game. Not too dissimilar to Harry Grant.

    The Rumours Thread

    Apparently Reece Robson being shopped around by Cowboys in their anticipation of getting Brandon Smith. Obviously they’re not favourites to get him, but would/should we chase Robson if that’s the case? Always thought he was a goodie that we shouldn’t have let go. I guess depends on the young...

    Cowboys game.

    Yep you’re completely right but it’s easy to say in hindsight. I agree with others, the fatal call was not dragging Norman when Bud came back on.

    Cowboys game.

    He was replaced because he’s not an 80 minute hooker, and they had a replacement on the bench. Young roosters kid didn’t do a lot wrong.

    The Kids are Alright

    Very harsh mate. No he’s not the finished product yet, but he’s missed a heap of footy this year. Any club in the comp would snap him up if he became available which tells you enough. He’s 21, has some shit in his game he needs to improve, including staying too high in his dummy half runs, but...

    Corey Norman

    Has no idea how to set up his outside men with the pass. Doesn’t pressure the line. Frustrates the be-jesus out of our dragons household.
