    2024 Squad List

    Sad but true many of the comments here about Bird. Unless things can be turned around physically, Flanagan will need to make a tough call early on Bird's future. At least during the trails and early part of the premiership, I would play him exclusively at lock. His days in the backline are...

    Not sure why there would be any delay in any announcement regarding Ipape as he is playing for a UK Super League team. Surely the 1 November date that applies to the NRL does not have any relevance to SL players?? Brent Read has been pushing this story plus the link to Connor Tracey for a while now.

    You are exactly right Dragon D. If they can convince him to stay for one season, there is every chance he will see out his contract until 2026. Just waiting now as during the lead up to Christmas Fonua-Blake will not be the last player to either request an immediate release or be tapped by their...

    The Rumours Thread

    Everyone needs to remember it is called the silly season for a reason. Only the people close to Fonua-Blake will know what went on behind closed doors. The media will only add to the speculation of what he might do next. Flanagan knows how to use the media and did not miss the opportunity to...

    If we can snare Fonua-Blake, we probably would not need to recruit any more forwards for 2024. Would also show the managers and player's market place that Flanagan means business. I have moved on from Manu and Dearden as both will be staying put at their current respective clubs. Just on Suli...

    The article from the SMH also says the Dragons have tabled a new 3 year deal to Moses Suli.

    I would be one of the happiest Dragon's fans if we signed Manu or Dearden. It might take a bit of time to play out, but I cannot possibly see Manu leaving the Roosters now. Dearden would be the more likely of the two to switch in my view, but once again the odds of that happening are fairly...

    I think Connor Tracey will be the first new signing to be announced. Was given permission by the Sharks to negotiate for 2025 a few weeks back. Hoping there are at least 2 forwards plus a 2nd hooker also to come in November.

    Coach Flanno

    Agreed. But I would worry about paying a transfer fee for an unknown player at NRL level. Gus and his Dogs could be looking at a loss of $500K plus for the young Bronco they paid to bring down to Sydney for the season just passed.

    And 2024 is the Chinese Year of the DRAGON.

    I cannot open it Rod. Which player was it??

    Let's hope Russell scores himself another trail and train contract at best. A lot of indicators that Flanagan has ear marked his recruitment targets, especially for 2025. I doubt that Dearden will leave the Cowboys. Think he is doing what many players do and will use the offers from the Dragons...

    I hear what you are saying KF7, but i think he has already been shopped to us and we said no thanks. Next.

    If Flanagan is going to rebuild this squad, starting with our forwards, surely Burns has to go?? There would be some young back rower out there looking for an opportunity. Just need to find the right one.

    The Rumours Thread

    Flanagan has already said that the off season training will be intense, but also carried out in a sensible way. Being fitter will give our squad a lot more endurance to be stronger and more resilient in so many of those close games we lost this year. Flanagan has also said he has learnt from his...

    So we can cross the name Cade Cust off the rumoured list of players we were supposedly interested in. According to the Zero Tackle website, he is staying in the UK and will be signing with Salford.

    The Rumours Thread

    The 1 November date for talking to players officially is a bit of a joke really. So many loopholes to get around it. My big hope is Flanagan is playing the same game as everyone else in the NRL and there will be signing news for us regarding players for 2025 next month.

    The Rumours Thread

    Other side of the story is Flanagan has already said he has knocked back signing a few players and player managers were contacting him following the Amone verdict and offering him different halves. Plenty going on that we know very little about.

    Coach Flanno

    Good old Gus. Would not surprise me if some of the leaks out of the kennel came via him. Thought they were supposed to be signing Mann and Hutchison?? I still think Drew has something to offer as a utility player, and I would be happy to see him come home and pull on the big Red V once more.
