    The Rumours Thread

    What does this post mean? You're talking like he has some kind of agenda? On JDB, he hasn't been a ball-playing lock for a hell of a long time. He's 33 and his contract will be managed year by year from now on at whatever money Flanagan thinks he's worth. It'll be a take it or leave it deal as...

    Was thinking the same myself. As well as everything you've mentioned I've been surprised at his mobility around the field. Normally you'd worry about a player getting out of position when he moves that much but he usually seems to be in the right place at the right time. It's early days yet but...

    But whose been screwed in the situation justa? Seems to me that both clubs and the player are ok with this happening, otherwise it wouldn't have happened. We can only guess at Penrith's motivation. Maybe they have a ton of young players coming through in that position and they need to free up...

    2024 Squad List

    Great news this I think he is a great player but I think he would be best off the bench with his power and impact. That means we still need Top line starting prop to partner Lawrie. In terms of our other forwards I'd be letting M Molo go, as well as BMM, re-signing Sua for 3 years and JDB on a...

    Yeah looks like we’ve got some resolution now at least, we all know where we stand.

    I might be on my own here but I see absolutely no reason why we should let Lomax go. He's playing some of the best footy of his career, At no point has he come out and had a go at the club / coach / other players in public or to the press. So he doesn't get on with everyone. Who cares? He's...

    There were definitely some crap passes from Manly. From where I was sitting on the hill though it didn't look like Rava did much wrong defensively. Considering Manly have a much quicker backline than us, they struggled to get on the outside of him. Plus two try saving moments, once when he...

    "The Dragons Way" mini docos

    This was one of the best things I've ever seen on the website/ap. Well done everyone involved. As a club we are improving our first team, and obviously our training facilities. Let's keep improving our media as well.

    Perfect fit for us, and we have more cap space than most. Unfortunately he's contracted to the Storm up to and including the 2027 season. Zero chance of this happening.

    I’ve banged on about this before but I’d love to see him come on off the bench and use his power up against tired legs. In the past we haven’t had any other options for starting front row but now we have. Especially so if Sele gets fit and ready. I think he’d be great at soaking up the early...

    Wouldn't worry about it. NRL won't explode in the US. There's literally no interest or money to be made.

    R1 v Titans.

    Saw a fair few players looking to offload in our trial game so hopefully this becomes a feature. Sloan could do some serious damage with broken second phase play. I expect us to go left pretty consistently with Sua, Suli, Rava, at least until Leilua is ready to start, then maybe with Sua going...

    What I would give to have big Mick Weyman lining up in our starting 13.

    OT, Medical Advice Please

    We're lucky to have some of the best medical practitioners in the world here mate, so as others have noted, trust your doctors but make informed decisions. Stay strong and positive. Stay close to your friends and family, they will help you through this. This is going to sound stupid, but try to...

    I love a good conspiracy theory as much as the next man. Unfortunately I don't think we register high enough on Newscorp's radar to warrant any energy expense from them.

    Sadly I see no reason why this would happen. The wealthy benefactors who become involved in TPA's are almost always diehard boyhood fans of their clubs. As far as I'm aware Twiggy has no prior involvement in League, let alone the Dragons. It looks like a straightforward sponsorship deal to me...

    I still think that the cowboys are desperate to offload so they can re-sign other forwards to bigger deals, and stop them being poached. That means they could be interested in paying some of his contract out. If he's on $750k and they pay $250k that still frees up $500k for them to put towards...

    I’ve always thought this guy has literally all the skills needed to be one of the best forwards in the game. I’m not really sure what’s held him back, lack of confidence or laziness maybe? Either way he’s exactly the type of player Flanagan can improve drastically. This is a good signing and...
