Good news that the club is working hard to ensure that Bud stays a Dragon.

The club has been in constant talks with his manager and father for a while now.
I'm confident he will be extended soon.

Story on 9 news soon about tariq sims maybe leaving.
See what weedler comes up with.
No offer beyond 22.
Free to look for offers from other clubs if he can get one.
He has been missing in action I think the right move.

That is certainly the rumour sweeping through the forum!

 

[BIG RIG]

I would say that Griffin has got his eye on a couple of more new forwards if his willing to clear the cap with Tariq Sims getting punted

 

[BIG RIG]

As of right now our squad next year will be ( if Sims does in fact leave )

1. Tyrell Sloan
2. Matthew Feagai
3. Zac Lomax
4. Jack Bird
5. Mikaele Ravalawa
6. Junior Amone
7. Ben Hunt
8. Blake Lawrie
9. Andrew McCullough
10. Francis Molo
11. Jaydn Su’a
12. Tyrell Fuimaono
13. Jack De Belin
14. Moses Mbye
15. Josh McGuire
16. Josh Kerr
17. George Burgess
18. Cody Ramsey
19. Max Fegai
20. Billy Burns
21. Daniel Alvaro
22. Jackson Ford
23. Poasa Fa’amusili
24. Jayden Sullivan

If Sims does leave we will have 6 spots to fill

Obviously this doesn’t include guys like Jayden Hunt and Gerard Beale who I believe will get released but may not

Josh Coric and Jackson Shereb will definitely be development players IMO

So 6 spots

I would assume a fair bit of money in the bank

Personally I reckon Griffin will look for
- Another Centre preferably Moses Suli if that deal comes off
- Another Backrower - I have this odd feeling that it might be Adam Elliott
- One of either Aaron Woods or Dylan Napa
- A backup dummy half which is a must
- and an extra depth forward and back

Any signings that can help the club the better
Elliott has problems,we were after him but he knocked us back before.
Well the dogs got Vaughan and dufty, maybe we will get him.

Please God no..

Fan favourite Sims to leave? I guess he will be 32 before next season starts

 

[Kylez3]

From the recent Tariq Sims article. Not even a single offer for Jarred Hayne's best mate despite only being 30. Yet he lines up for the Dragons every single week.

Foul.

And that is why I don't bother watching Super League.

Says a lot about the coach and the club. Makes Mary's favouritism of Aitken look pretty tame.

Sullivan would have done so much better alongside Hunt this year. I know it has become a laughing matter on the forum but I'm furious. It is repugnant.

Rava will be first winger picked

 

[Forbes Creek Dragons]

5.Rava
6.
7.Hunt
8.Lawrie
9.McCullough
10.Molo
11.Sua
12.Burns
13.JDB
14.Mbye
15.
16.
17.
These are my only certainties for next season, every other position is up for grabs. Hopefully we buy a few players and change that. Sullivan and Amone to fight out the 6 probably edging to Amone due to being an out and out 6 but hopefully there is a plan in 2023 to move Hunt to 9 and have Bud/Amone 7/6.

 

[BIG RIG]

My team as of now

1. Tyrell Sloan
2. Matthew Feagai
3. Zac Lomax
4. ???
5. Mikaele Ravalawa
6. ???
7. Ben Hunt
8. ???
9. Andrew McCullough
10. Francis Molo
11. Jaydn Su’a
12. Jack Bird
13. Jack De Belin
BENCH
14. Moses Mbye
15. Josh McGuire
16. George Burgess
17. ???
RESERVES
18. Junior Amone
19. Jayden Sullivan
20. Tyrell Fuimaono
21. Blake Lawrie
22. Billy Burns
23. Poasa Fa’amusili

Not sure who out of Sullivan and Amone I would pick at F/E hence why I left a ?
Centre is dependant on who we recruit
We need a complete revamp of the forwards

Our Forwards
- Blake Lawrie shows some ticker but is way to out of shape for the modern game
- Josh Kerr, Jackson Ford and Daniel Alvaro should be released as they are not good
- Fuimaono and Burns are reserves at best

 

[Gippsy]

Rava will be first winger picked

I know you're right, but after tonight I think we would be better with a winger who can catch the ball.
