KOE (ex Canterbury Cup) and Jersey Flegg

[George Dragon]

Do you think that his frame is suited to the additional bulk and any idea what the "desired" weight is for him?
I think many of our players look far to "muscled or bulked up" and I think for some their lateral movement is affected any ideas on that?

Yes
He didn't say
He will bulk some more over off season and shed in pre season.
He has speed so it should be ok
He needs to gain muscle his defence is no where near FG standard.

 

[Wittenberg]

All our forward stocks are in for a world of pain with Mc Fookknuckle's power game being the foundation to "his success".
Ford at < 100kg will be exposed to the gym and "the muscle bulk" programme that has been the downfall of so many of our players.
We keep trying to build our players into "action figure" shapes and that has been an unmitigated disaster.
I cannot see that other than Vaughan (not tot confident for him either) that any of our current rep players will be in the selection mix in 2020 as they have all gone backwards whilst so many players at other clubs have excelled under astute coaching.

Agree regarding our forwards, they have gone backwards with the exception perhaps of Luch who improved in the last game. I think our rep forwards will be picked, at least for the first Origin game because Fittler & Co. tend to stay 'loyal'.

Big call re Ford and Origin. He needs to bulk up a little. He has good pace and a good work rate but I don’t want to see too much expectation put on him just yet. He is a genuine talent but I hope he is used properly. Host had potential too and remember what hopes there were with him. Host was partly overrated, partly poorly used. Let’s see if Ford can survive Mary before we talk of Origin. I too have great hopes for Luch, using him as a trade for Matterson would have been a tragedy.

yes I agree, I meant that Ford might be an origin player if he bulks more, i mean not next season but possibly anytime after that if he keeps uo the brilliance

BLM01 someone on the forum said that nicholls was now with a QLD CC side so you would think we would have re shot the interview or canned it ... maybe they should have aired it during the season .. Sometimes our great club acts so amateurish its sad

Will Saunders has signed a 4 year deal with the Dragons 2 years Flegg and then DP.
He played for the Dogs SG side for the last 2 years and was part of their GF team under Willie.
He is a tuff front rower and was chased by a few clubs.
With a lot of exciting backs coming thru this is just what we need.

Why.... according to our club the supporters are a bunch of whingeing nannies and you have social media to do their job for them. Why?...because I bet most of their correspondence on social media, emails and phone calls from the supporters is weighed on the negative side

The St George Illawarra Dragons will be once again joining the Aquathon on Australia day in 2019.

The Dragons Jersey Flegg will be taking on the short course as part of some extra pre-season training, in what is one of the Illawarra's annual premier sporting and community events.

"Aquathon is inclusive and creates huge buzz and excitement," event director Rob Battocchio told the Illawarra Mercury.

"The fun-filled crowd is a sea of children and families, competitive to the novice, locals to the interstate visitors, toddlers in prams to seniors walking or in wheelchairs; and everything in between."

This year, all fundraising and donations raised from the Aquathon would be directed to Anglicare's bushfire appeal.

He has the evil smile of someone who's been assured that by the time he's out of Flegg and challenging for CC or an NRL spot, Mary will be gone and Flanno will be running the show
