    Sloany has bulked up. Positive sign.

    Flanno's New Signings

    Should Hunt sign with the Broncos, thoughts on Fletcher Baker if he gets shaken out under the salary cap weight? He's only under contract until end of 2025. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fletcher_Baker

    Flanno's New Signings

    It's a low risk signing. As previously said, I trust the judgement of Flanno in consultation with Cookie on this one. If it works out - that's awesome for us. Bottom line is we need someone as a stop-gap until other options come up in future years. It's not huge $. With Bunt likely going back...

    Flanno's New Signings

    I'm backing the judgement of Flanno, Cookie and other senior figures in the club with the potential Ilias signing. We need a genuine change in player attitude. So far, it is positive change with the players we've signed. We need people in this place who are hungry to prove themselves and buy...

    The NRL Salary Cap auditor has come out and said that Bunt can't be offered less than $900k. That surely rules out most clubs? Yes, it's a circus for sure.

    NRL futures betting has no faith in the Dragons.

    Means diddly squat in the grand scheme of things... not a true reflection of reality... But the agencies are basically putting their money where their mouth is in the sense that we don't have a recognised number 7 on the books now that Hunt has departed. Should we make a couple of more solid...

    2025 Squad List

    In terms of our targets: In the case of Atkinson & Wishart, they are off contract for 2026. Their current clubs aren't going to early release for 2025. In the case of Ilias, Souths are reportedly keen to get him off the books but we (likely) want to pay less than current salary (reportedly...

    King Gutho linked to Dragons

    Our problem will be - it's going to be very hard to get rid of Ravalawa. According to all reports so far no suitors, and his potential release hinges on us being able to make moves on other players in the market. So it could become a make or break situation. In the event that we do end up...

    King Gutho linked to Dragons

    Gutho, along with Cookie & Val Holmes, are among the most significant player signings in joint venture history. Up there alongside Darius Boyd, Jeremy Smith and Mick Weyman. I'm in agreement with those who are also now saying to keep Ravalawa for another season. Gutho will put an absolute...

    Flanno's New Signings

    It may all look like a sh** show on first glance, but as frustrating as it is that we are struggling to lock down signatures and fill our voids, it's clear that Flanno isn't going to be taken for a fool. Didn't Bevan French just re-sign with Wigan until 2028 or thereabouts? Why on earth would...

    Flanno's New Signings

    Jacob Liddle was in a similar situation when he came over to us from the Tigers. That's all worked out pretty well so far for us. Probably one of our best performers since joining us. I'm all for signing Adam Douehii at the right price. He's a very solid player when fit. I'd go as far to say...

    Flanno's New Signings

    The Ben Hunt domino has fallen, and not a moment too soon with 1st November now only about 30 hours or so away. If it's true that Flanno has received a number of phone calls today from player managers about the vacant halves position - I say best he makes a quick assessment about who the top...

    Flanno's New Signings

    ....and when we talk about the line of fullbacks that the Knights (among others) have on their books, you can't help but sit and wonder what's happened to our junior system over the past 15 or so years (since we won the comp in 2010). If we had at least one of Armstrong, Sharpe or Votano on our...

    Flanno's New Signings

    To summarise our recruitment & retention issues at the moment. 1. Front row stocks still need to be boosted (from outside the club - rep quality or at least solid regular first grade standard, leader, big minutes, platform setting, metre eating type) 2. Moving on Blake Lawrie (the majority of...

    Flanno's New Signings

    Lawrie will be free to go to the open market come 1st November 2025. Unfortunately, it's going to mean him being here all of next season. But with any luck, we will freely let him go searching and he will look for options in the Super League - hopefully getting him off our books for 2026, and no...

    Flanno's New Signings

    This is why people like RCGs manager could attempt to play us for fools. I'm glad for them that they were able to extract the three years they wanted out of the Titans. They know we are somewhat desperate at this time for at least one first grade quality front rower. Thank god we've got Flanno...

    Ryan Webb

    Kevin Walters sacked last Thursday night. Come Tuesday morning the new coach will be announced and instilled. Yes - there is no doubt that Madge and the Broncos board would have been talking for sometime already behind closed doors. But this is the prime example of how a good board and CEO go...

    Flanno's New Signings

    So, which Broncos forwards have "coach clauses" in their contracts ?

    King Gutho linked to Dragons

    Flanno may also have other plans around Suli spending more time on the edge with Su'a and possibly Luc spending more time in the middle? While I don't think that's the best use of the three players mentioned above, if we can't get a middle forward from the market we may be forced into...

    King Gutho linked to Dragons

    No NRL club is going to offer RCG a three year deal on his current rumoured $750k a season value. If Parramatta was chipping in some freight, then maybe it's a different story? But they are not. Despite the other rumour that he also bought & moved into a property in Camden this past year, which...
