Carayannis actually confirmed it recently, Ramsey was the mystery 30th player.. we either have to medically retire him or he counts in our squad.. its not a choice we made its just the arrangement.. so I suspect that maybe he retires during next season and we try get someone mid-year.. all speculative at this stage... from Codys perspective he would have to be ready to give up footy.
Strange that the Dragons gave a different impression earlier in the year with what they said if that's the case.. surely we could apply to the NRL again to have him removed from the top 30 for next season? Maybe it was a wait and see situation.. I mean he's zero chance of playing the game in 2025, so on that basis (as Corey Allan was removed and paid out for not being able to play in 2024), surely we could just revisit the issue and apply to have Ramsay removed from the 30 again
Yeah I feel like they hid that piece of information from us.. perhaps so there was less pressure on Cody.. plus they wouldnt have known how & when things would play out.. maybe we could apply for dispensation again from the NRL.. or maybe its a 'now or never' stage for Ramsey.
Yeah.. we desperately need a couple of signings but I certainly don't want to rush Cody into a decision. It's why we need players like Lawrie, Rava, Bird, M Molo and Fifita gone first and foremost (probably in that order in terms of cruciality). I feel we should play hard ball on this and ask the NRL for dispensation again. It's not a good look at all for them to force a player into medical retirement I wouldn't think.
Not sure about the game plan but Rava normally takes the 2nd hit up like that in most set starts

How about we let him have the off season he needs to build his body & mind before we make this rash decision. Only an idiot would not see his improvement this year in the hardest position on the field. He also will thrive behind our new recruitment which I hope hasn’t finished yet.
Bit sad JM is gone but with the rise of LKT, clearly we have plans for the young fulla. The rest can go idc
Imho, Connor, while I don't think we need him, I'm not upset at him staying. He plays with so much heart. You can't tell me that 63 tackles with 1 miss vs Parra where everyone else was missing tackles all over the place goes unrewarded. He's a very hard worker but I'm sure he's only on T&T, same with Coric, same with BMM. They'll probably have to prove themselves in the off-season.
