yeah JAC all but signed with souffs apparently.

CS should be fun :oops:

They’d have a ball with Turnstile.

But of course he’ll be protected - & Waterboy will stick a junior in there deathriding him to not measure up.
As per last year with Zac, who by every measure from his high pressure semi performances, had the No3 spot locked up.

But no, Mc Mate used the ‘Trial form’ to deny Zac his rightful No3 jersey - & for the duration FFS.

Zac had accolades flowing from everywhere.

Onya Zac for sticking with us.

You and the other kids’ll be rid of the pri*k very soon.

Reported in today’s Sunday Telegraph that we are chasing George Jennings. Hadn’t played a lot of first grade over the past couple of years.

27 games in total over 5 seasons with 2 different NRL teams.
Perfect fit.....he's a cheap journeyman shit option!
Maybe we can put together a team of brothers of good players. George Jennings to join Patrick Kaufusi...who else have we got our eye on? I don't know much about Hayden Lomax, but maybe he could become a full-timer...maybe Ashton could go around again.

Perennial choice of the Dullards.

Mind blowing ineptitude.

Of course his first duty will be to sign the ubiquitous Mc LostInSpace loyalty agreement.

Mc Conerunner’s overriding impulse is towards Park Footy’s quotidian & Everyman culture (minus the heroic)

- as Mc Anal Retentive does the mediocre & ordinary yet again.

The Club(s) needs a dose of salts, as Mum used to say.

She reckons Waterboy has managed to insult fans’ intelligence across 4 generations in our family

RIP Juniors

Who is interested in George Jennings, Mary or Millward? What a joke. For me just a block for our juniors coming through with no upside. We should have a decent plan and sure go for marquee players when required however, to just block an outside back position when there is talent equal or better in our junior ranks, that is absolutely stupid.

The majority of salary cap in our back 5 is spent on our two fabulous centres, Aitken and Lafai. The reason we have not the cap to chase some much needed talent is because we have over-spent in the halves and forwards. Ok, mistakes are made sometimes but those who make those serious mistakes should be held accountable and a remedy to correct the mistake should be made.

SGI again is gambling on, at some time in the near future, our young juniors with great potential are going to step up and that we will have the salary cap to retain them.

At the beginning of the week it was said that Aitkin is ready to go and fight for a new contract with the Dragons. The article also said that other clubs were interested in him. If other clubs have been interested him why is he still here, as we should have let him go and put that money towards a descent signing.
Were any of these 'other clubs' reported to be interested in signing Aitken named? The media usually name clubs that are interested in players.

Unfortunately the media’s usual guidelines don’t apply to the Dragons as we are classed as the ‘ Claytons ‘ club of the NRL . Not the players themselves, but the dunderheads who run the show .

No becuase they were clubs that may not be NRL located or paying the money anywhere near what he gets now or thinks his worth and of cause he and his management would decline it.
On the many occasions SGI is mentioned as wanting to sign a player, no salary is mentioned or the level of salary indicated as being cheap, market price or overs. But the name SGI is always mentioned.

I call the report BS however, if there is any substance to this it would only be an ESL club interested.

Getting the root cause of our backline woes over 6 years an extension before he goes, will be McFookyou’s last act of bastardry.

Kinda like Bjelke-Petersen’s bulldozing of the rainforest before he left office

Welcome to the last chance saloon club where you will get to showcase your ability to not be able to handle NRL level and the coach that will assist you in achieving that and prepare you for retirement.
But I think you have some speed which means you may be able to turn and chase or run 50 metres to the tryline when bursting through a gap as we seem to want to get rid of our genuine speedster and try scorer in Dufty for some reason.
You will walk through the hall of fame with legends like Josh McCrone, Beau Henry, Denan Kemp, Chase Stanley, Tim Lafai, Lachlan Maranta, Dane Neilson, Dylan Farrell and other backs who were in need of some Mary or Steve Price guidance to achieve your goals.

Or maybe:
Mary tells Aitken, 'the writing is on the wall and I can't protect you any longer. I suggest you find another club ASAP'.

Wishful thinking by the Possm.

Millward has already locked up most of our promising juniors....Maybe a little bit of due diligence and fact checking wouldn't go astray .

In possm's defense, that was early days....even cooper rated him... unfortunately they were wrong...

Agree GS. The point here is that almost to a man, he was the next big thing, even defensively "strong" as some put it. With all that positivity, no wonder he was extended "long term". Of course, hindsight is a wonderful thing, however, blaming that extension on Millward at that time would be considered incomprehensible if he didnt.
