    The Rumours Thread

    I recall that was Wayne Bennett's philosophy when he was at Dragons. In 2009 he focused purely on defence and when he was criticised for the lack of attack, he said something along the lines that defence was much harder to develop and that with a good defence an attack would develop which it...

    Ladder 2024 Dragons

    I am predicting somewhere between 10th and 14th. Our season will depend on three things injuries, team morale/spirit and learning when to give Ben Hunt the ball. Despite the hammering we get from the Fox pundits (cannot call them journalists) I don't think we have a decent enough set of...

    Amone guilty.

    Let's not get Milford and avoid repeating the whole Corey Norman debacle!!

    Sack Griffin

    I suspect Hook does have a good football brain, however being a good head coach is about more than just football and where Hook was not the right coach for the Dragons was his inability to create a strong team culture where players want to do their best to help their mates and turn up for all 80...

    Ladder 2024 Dragons

    I think you can break the 17 teams up into roughly four groups of 4 or 5. There is the top 4, these teams are all super strong, consistent and have a really solid coach There is the second 4 which are the strong but inconsistent team There is the third 5 which are the average teams that have...

    Is Flanagan an option at hooker? I have read others here say that he can tackle. Or is he predominately in the halves or as a super sub no 14?

    Coach Flanno

    TBH I am excited by the idea of bring in Cooper in some sort of coaching role. I can see him bring 4 things to the team: 1) Focus on helping your team mates, Cooper's single greatest attribute was not his awesome try scoring ability or his awesome defence it was the way he put in every game...

    The Rumours Thread

    I think Barrett as a coach is similar to how Barrett was as a player. He has all the skills, all the talent and a really strong ability to read the game. However, there is something about his attitude, and I suspect selfishness, that made him an average Dragons captain and which as a coach...

    It's not hard, get John Howard onto the board as Chairmen and Mark Taylor as a board member. That would open up access to big business and help to get through the planning red tape for the new training centre.

    Hunt has asked for a release

    Transfer fee is pointless, we are still limited by the salary cap. In the old days when we had Illawarra and their debt but the club is debt free and cash transfer does nothing to improve our squad. Our forward pack is inconsistent and ultimately we need a solid forward pack. We need to get...

    I guess the upside is Flanagan is there and he can decide whether he has an attitude that fits with what he wants at the Dragons in 2024.

    What about Josh Schuster? Given Sea Eagles appear to have signed Brooks and Schuster will be moved back to forwards. Does he provide an option for us?

    Let the smart decision making to establish a strong team on and off the field begin.

    The Rumours Thread

    100% We have the rest of 2023 (which is stuffed anyway) to select our current squad and decide if we need a new half or not. We know with 100% certainty we need forwards so I would like to see us in the market for some solid reliable forwards who deliver week in and week out rather than buy an...

    Warriors at the Gong.

    While a $1m is nice it doesn't really help us as our salary cap stays the same. I would rather be given a solid player on say $500k whose salary gets 50% subsidised by the Titans (or whoever) as that effectively increases our salary cap and decreases theirs.

    Warriors at the Gong.

    It could be that the Dragons do not have a choice but to name him? By naming him they are putting the ball in his court regarding not playing and therefore any breaking of contract terms by refusing to play is 100% his actions. The alternative of not naming him, is there a chance that it...

    Hunt has asked for a release

    TBH I think he should be made to sit all together and not play any football. He is a toxic presence and the Cutters would be better off without him.

    Hunt has asked for a release

    It horrifies me if he is allowed to sign a short term deal with Penrith or the like for 2023 and then moves to Titans potentially with a premiership as that rewards his behaviour with a potential shot at a Premiership and shows players and agents can do what they like. But we can't leave him on...
