2025 signings & line up

[Dragonsfaithful]

hey guys new to the forum, looking to chat about the upcoming season & potential signings. would like to share my thoughts on our 2025 line up and who we should sign for the 2025 season.

Backline
Kayal iro-has no made any promises he will be in the shire after this season & has the ability to be a top 10 centre in the game, great defensively & solid in attack.
Paul alamonti-has been a revelation at the Penrith panthers this season slotting in just fine after the loss of Taylan may, would be another hand pick up.
Jeral skelton- has slotted into the bulldogs line up perfectly every time they have called him up. Big body & has speed to burn.
Forward pack
Cory horsburgh- can bring the grunt we desperately have been searching for, Was form lock of 2023 showed he can transform his game as became a great ball player mid way through last year.
Loko pasifika tonga-
already on the saints books And HAS to be included in the nrl side next yearkid is the second coming of Payne haas.
Dylan egen- another on the books the kid has been mentioned for numerous pre seasons and hasn’t been given the nod. It needs to happen next season.
Joe lovodua- ex saints junior who was never given a shot. Can play hooker/SR/L/5/8 Turned into a revelation for hull fc for the past 2 seasons. he has the potential to be the ball playing lock we desperately have looked for since 2018.
Jazz tevanga- another off contract ball playing lock who would be absolute gem of a pick up.

Cheers mate much appreciated just trying to bring our club back to its glory days

 

[BIG RIG]

I believe Iro has re-signed until 2026 and Alamoti has re-signed for 2025

Also looks like Horsburgh if off to Canterbury

But some good suggestions nonetheless

Yep you’re spot on.
Iro has just been resigned 15 minutes ago.
Alamonti has resigned for 1 year with penny panths & big red was just spotted at Canterbury leagues club so most likely going to the dogs. wow we are to slow to move while other clubs are snapping players up.

Yes, welcome to the Dragons Forum, Dragonsfaithful.

Look forward to more of your contributions. Player signings has been ongoing here on the Flanno's New Signings Thread for sometime now and as you have pointed out in you later post, we are slow to move while other clubs are snapping up players.

Hopefully we have some decent signings soon because things could easily result in short term signings until our Recruitment people can improve on how they negotiate to get those all important better signings.

My feeling on Horsborough is he was probably used as pressure on the Knights to pay Saifiti more money for next year. We don't have the spots in the top 30 right now (we need to hope we can get rid of quite a few players who are taking up spots). Horsborough and Saifiti probably only possible if we can offload players like Lawrie, FIfita, M Molo, Rava, Bird first and foremost

 

[KogarahWarrior]

Welcome to the madhouse mate, and what a great first post. Loved the point on Lovodua. Don't watch much super league but I remember him being quite good, and we absolutely do need a mobile forward

I imagine Coach Flanagan knows who wants to keep and who will be shown the door for 2025. For me, Bird, Rava, and Lowrie should be on his list to leave at the end of this season.

 

[RedVDave]

Shouldn't we actually sign some players before we start a thread like this?

 

[John moz]

Bring back the Flames cheergirls

 

[Dragons4me]

Well the merkinerbury flogs must have a player roster of about 231. Gus and his unlimited budget is buying everyone so there must be a firesale coming one day soon. All those current players who just love playing for the "family club" are unknowingly about to get shafted out the door. Chewed up and spat out like an off falafel.

Update guys

Jeral skelton has signed for west tigers
kayal iro has re signed as of yesterday for the sharks
Corey horsburgh is on the verge of signing for bulldogs
valentine Holmes has most likely back flipped and will stay at NQC even if he gets stuck in Reggie’s.

What kills me the most is that WEST TIGERS a team that hasn’t looked like playing a finals game since the last time they made it, can sign skelton luai etc but where still stuck here in the dirt, very tough to have a positive outlook on our club.
