    Sullivan

    Objectively if Tigers are chipping in their rumoured $900k, it leaves another $900k to pay for the next 3 years - $300k per year for a back up half isn't a bad deal at all. Its more the length of the deal, no one is going to lock him down to a 3 year deal.

    The Rumours Thread

    Hunt's contract for 2025 will start in November, meaning if he isn't released by November 1, Dragons will have already chipped in for his contract for 2025 season - same as all players, but an interesting time line to keep an eye on

    SEN have just said a Sharks half will join dragons in 2025. Likely Atkinson, but maybe Trindall.

    Board members, or should I say bored?!

    Freely available on Dragons website Perhaps - a suggestion is that a CEO has been appointed, but needs to finish their current term before being announced. In fact, I think the Webb exit was conducted reasonably well given there wasn't that many rumours about it before hand. Probably need a...

    2025 contracts start in October. We will be on the hook for a massive chunk of his wage no matter which we we look at it.

    The Rumours Thread

    I think the mention of Solly is just to create some headlines. A couple of others in the mix, including Peter Parr and old mate from the Supercars. Norm Black apparently getting a bit more say, too. Interesting when the couple of articles talk about Webb essentially being responsible for the...

    Yes, it'll be hard to land a 7. We're probably looking at an O'Sullivan or Tannah Boyd. I would imagine some of the idea to letting Hunt leave, will be forward paying some of his wage against our current players for 2025. It will leave more in the 2026 kitty to go hard at top-drawer half. Not...

    The Rumours Thread

    I don't think its a reflection of his performances, which have improved significantly since his early days. It is more his approach and comments on a number of things, particularly as captain. His comments when Young was the caretaker coach were the start of it for me, I didn't think it was in...

    The Board

    Agree with most of what you've said. Although an independent chair doesn't really do anything. A chairperson doesn't have much, if any, unilateral power - merely, a deciding a vote. The example of Politis is unique, given he is the one who pumps money into the club and is essentially the...

    Nonsense, the Board should absolutely be involved in decision making of such financial consequence. However, this should be delegated to a sub-committee comprising of a a few board members and executive/performance staff.

    Agree. Tuipolotu looks strong, but he isn't a top drawer winger by any means. There is a lot to play out over the off-season. If we're looking to move Hunt on, as what is vaguely being suggested in the media, we'd be in a strong position to have some players sent our way - I think the Dolphins...

    Season 2024 over

    I'm not so pessimistic toward our season. The coaching staff have had to work with the cattle they've been given and I think all things considered it was a better year than I expected. There are a number of teams who are significantly better than us; those performances against those sides...

    Parra R 26 Now or Never.

    What a monumental mistake it was pandering to Hunt. Shocking attitude, constantly spraying others. He’s got to go.

    Sack Ryan Carr

    Attack is awful. We’ve had enough chances to win this match. He has to go.

    Sloan

    I would hardly call all four of them 'shocking misses'. He should never be isolated on the line by himself and that is probably a reflection of the forwards more than anything. I do agree he should've done better with the two misses on Staggs, though. In the absence of any genuine fullback...

    It's going to take a long, long time for us to recruit a big name player. Presently, there is no upside to the Dragons. If we can somehow scrape into the 8, then we become a little more attractive, at least on the sporting side. We've made some OK signings, who despite our position, have...

    Coaching preference for 2024

    Because some of our fan base are obsessed with it not being given to Hornby or Young & because Flanagan is apparently on the nose with Doust. I appreciate that there are concerns for a rookie coach and the link between Young and the Board and the abhorrent past 10 seasons. But we went with an...

    Coaching preference for 2024

    Interviewing people multiple times isn’t uncommon. I believe Flanagan and some others knocked back chance to interview while Hook was still coach out of respect to him.

    Coaching preference for 2024

    I agree that Ryles should get some autonomy over whom he picks as his assistants; however, even as the basket case of a club we are, we also can't just give the keys over to the head coach. Honestly, I think the head coach isn't the priority. While no coach certainly impacts our ability to...
