    Charity Shield 2024

    I'm not expecting too much from tonight's game. I imagine in will be something like 20min quarters, which I expect our main squad to play 20 - 40 mins max. Marscke and Glover will sun in for Hunt and Flanno Jr for example. During the time they are out there, no matter the player, I'm really...

    Flanno's New Signings

    We already have 30 contracted players. LL would be a good addition, however, at 900k it's not even feasable. Now Tartak is doing his job. Here's our price, match or we go elsewhere. Flanno and Co doing there job. Here's our price, take it or leave it. At this stage it's a leave it scenario...

    Personally I'd be happy if it were 2x2 deal.

    Flanno's New Signings

    This is 100% correct. Bird is an enigma, however, in previous seasons he had been overweight, unfit and uninspired. A fit, lean and inspired Bird would be a huge asset to our team. If he proves to remain as Bird of the last couple of seasons then yeah Flanno won't hesitate to drop him, a fact...

    Flanno's New Signings

    LL - length of contract is a deal breaker. Let's see if our management have learnt from previous mistakes, or, have they become a little more 'creative'.

    Flanno's New Signings

    Yes just read that and indeed an option. They could also pay out Turner as well which probably the preferred imo. I think they want to keep Allen around, so Turner is my guess.

    Flanno's New Signings

    For us to sign LL we would have to do 1 of 3 things: 1. Immediately sack a player (which there seems to be no incidents requiring this atm) 2. Drop a player from the top 30 to a T&T or KOE Cup contract. 3. Sign LL to a T&T contract (which would be unlikely given the vast difference in current...

    KOE (ex Canterbury Cup) and Jersey Flegg

    Team lists for KOE Cup and JF are out for this weekends intra-club games. Good to see Fuimaono's name listed as I thought his playing days were over with his injuries. https://www.dragons.com.au/news/2024/02/13/dragons-announce-charity-shield-team-list/

    Flanno's New Signings

    I believe those who have "reached the ceiling" have been identified and tapped. It's just unfortunate that the majority of those have contracts for this season and have not (yet) moved on, even though they've been encouraged to do so. Shameful they were given such extended contractual time. The...

    Flanno's New Signings

    Shane Millard would have had significant input into RFM signing, as he was previously at the Bulldogs also.

    Volkman & Allan gone

    Yep, same here @getsmarty This is actually the first post I've made in several weeks, but, like you, I will be restricting info etc this year. There are very good people on the forum, who mean well and express their opinions/mail openly and freely. I hope these guys continue to post and enjoy...

    Flanno's New Signings

    Wow! What a meltdown. Were we even seriously looking at Deardon? If you look at Flanno's rhetoric, he wants Hunt to see out his contract with us ie 2025. Not that I'm in favour of that, it's just his preference. As I commented yesterday in the rumours thread, our focus is on getting one of...

    IMO - Deardon will re-sign with the Cows. However. It will be at the expense of Luki or Finefeuiake. I think one of these two are our main objective.

    2024 Squad List

    You are indeed correct. 29 contracted players unless Amone and/or Ramsey are removed. So, at 29 I don't expect us to sign anyone else in the short-term. What we see is what we have to work with for most of '24. The recruitment focus is now well and truly on 2025.

    2024 Squad List

    Current state of play (as I see it) 2024 - 2 (certain) spots available. Still holding Ramey and Amone (uncertain) Flanno has stated that he will, possibly hold over 1 spot until the cut-off date. 2024 - Off Contract List (16) Tuitavake, BMM, Allan, Ramsey*, Frank Molo, JDB, Sua, Mat Feagai...

    2024 Squad List

    Thanks @getsmarty for posting this. 3 confirmed spots with 2 uncertain. 1. Ramsay: we haven't been told what the NRL has decided, but, imo, there are options: (a) no compensation and retain top 30 spot (b) salary compensation but stay in top 30 (c) both salary compensation and can exclude...

    The Rumours Thread

    Exactly @getsmarty. Most of the unwanted are seeking multi-year contracts, Tracey being a prime example. Imagine if we had done what our last 2 regimes had done and willy-nilly signed up these players. Simple answer is that we wouldn't be in a position to even begin talking with the likes of...
