Sign both Ilias and Douehi? Is that what you mean? Sure, if we have the space. Douehi can play 13, 7, 6 and in the centres. But I doubt it will happen with just one slot left and us needing a big middle.

I hear what you're saying and agree a "big middle" is a priority, however, which "big middle'? It's approaching the end of November, at this stage only Lodge is the current available and he appears to favour a return to be coached by Bennett. Are we really waiting for Hunt to decide, and see who, if anyone, is shaken out?

The priority for the club from now on has to be pathways bcs this business of going to the market for the players you need and hoping somebody falls out of a tree or has a healed injury or a mild police incident so we can grab him is just too unreliable. If the club is not already planning for our potential 2027 team then they are doing it wrong.

Ackers/Nick/LKT/Glover/BMM are locked.. the last one noone has confirmed, probably its Lawson, maybe its TomE, maybe its not even decided yet as they need some players moved.. im sure we will get clarification soon enough.

Flanno says we will sign one before Christmas (Illias) and one after Christmas (??) to fill our 30.

Mmm. I find it more interesting that in the Jammer interview, he mentioned the draw for '25 was out, so when was that, Thursday? Ilias confirms on Monday, well before Christmas. Which means it was advanced and to the point of being registered by the NRL.
Maybe I'm reading too much into it, or maybe Flano was playing with words, but Christmas is still a month away, and I can't see how the Ilias signing would have take that long.
So, tin-foil hat theory time.
Is there still movement within our current playing group that is yet to play out? For example: Fifita is still in rehab for his injury, and has RFM fully recovered from his back spasms/injury.
Again, I'm just spit-balling here, no facts, no evidence.
Further, could the 'middle' forward, be someone already within our organisation, just waiting to see how they handle pre-season.

Everything will come out in the wash Dragonslayer I'm sure. The club isn't going to give away too much until all "eyes" are dotted and all tees are crossed. I'm thinking that they have someone in mind already in our system.

Halangahu
On a TT contract seems hard to believe but possible given in the media he is reported as in the extended Dragons squad

I wonder if he is in the 6 of the supp players ?
