Has anyone honestly been impressed with Loko so far he has been very underwhelming. We can't afford to lose him but in saying that he hasn't demanded selection with his performances.
I've mentioned before that I'm not sure on this guy, doesn't seem to run or defend with any kind of mongrel from a unit this big, however, he is only 20.

Agree the dragons have not developed a junior forward since Ryles and Bailey back in early 2000's not sure what is is however they don't breed the big tough mongrel type in St George or the Gong.

Loko has been a star throughout his junior football. I'm still waiting to hear from Flono about the reason for Loko's omission from the squad.

Loko, has not yet made the step up from U20’s to NRL. Hasn’t really dominated in NSW Cup as yet.Probably won’t for another year or two. Has the size, but not sure he has the mongrel yet.
We still seem at least 1 front rower short in any rotation, but I would have him in my 19 this year.

Wasn't everyone saying in 2024 that Loko couldn't last 10 minutes on the field in NSW cup before he was buggered? Was he that player?

He is 20 yr old yes big but throw him into A grade a few old heads would love to hit him.
Give him time and let him ferment.

This bxllshit is all on the back of The Mole's ( Tony Adams - known Dragon hater), guessing why LPT was not on the plane to LA. Adams loves stirring up shit as far as the Dragons are concerned. You would like to think that Flanno, DA, Creagh and Tim W would have discussed this all with LPT and his family. If they haven't, then yes, that is concerning. But most likely reason is that he is carrying an injury (highlighted by the heavy strapping and lack of trial game time.
The thing that irks me the most, is all 4 other clubs left players at home that would have been close to making the trip. Yet, no discussion, controversy or rumour mongering. Adams is a fxckwit that will take every opportunity to write negative shit about the Dragons. Unfortunately, we are in a current period in our game where most of the media that promote the game have people in important positions that hate the Dragons...... Fox - Anasta, Nines Wide World of Sport - Tony Adams, SMH - Weidler, Fox - Crawley & Read, Gus Gould always finds ways to screw us - Finau Latau & Connor Tracey being recent examples.

It's because saints fans generate clicks. I don't know how many times we need to go over this.

You talking about it is exactly why it was written. Like literally the whole point is to stir the pot and generate online sentiment and clicks.

Saints have a huge supporter base who are desperate for success after a long period of being terrible. Prime target.
