Colonel,

The dragons have more money left then you might think old boy..............

That tends to happen when you let go of Thompson, Barrett, Bailey,Henderson, Best, Greenshields, and more than likely Timmins. There is well over 1m in that lot, given Barrett 450k and Bailey 300k Were amongst our highest paid players- but don't worry we don't want any Parra players oh apart from Blake Green ??? being announced shortly.

Cheers,

Geez - you have been talking this one up for a while Wobby and if true I don;t want to hear another word ever in reference to other clubs stealing Dragons juniors!!

It just would not make sense that our best junior would go to a club as back up Gaznier.

It would also suggest that the cap simply does not work.

funny how in the past everybody blamed Smith for not attracting top line players cause he was too strict and school teacher like, what does that say for Mick Hagan?
Smith got us quite a few big names in his time, hagan with have a wooden spoon in his 1st season unless something happens shortly.
Maybe we could lure back Chris Thorman :roll:

If we have 1.5 million to spend, this is how I believe it should be spent.
Asotasi - 1.2m 3 years, 700k from 2007 cap
Myles - 1m 4 years at least 400k from 2007 cap
Scott Hill 500k 2 year deal

Remainder on young talent

If he hasn't yet its time Fitzy goes all out to sign Asotasi, Myles or Fitzgibbon and Scott Hill.

Situation panic I say.

It's no good. Anyone we've either been linked to, or have WISHED we were linked to, has gone elsewhere.

Creagh, Poore, Simms, Hill, Pritchard, Lyon, Hunt...All the star players we've thought about have re-signed.

Look for Myles to sign with Manly and Asotasi to head to Souths. Hill's already in England.

*sigh*

fitzgibbon has already re signed... that extra 400k under the cap is screwing us... all the clubs are resigning there top players with out needing to reshuffle there rosters...

i think we might need to keep some money for next yr so we can top up a few contracts... tahu grothe hindy should all be up for longer contracts....

I'd like to see them throw a fair bit of money at Craig Wing and see if they can get him a release.

Problem is it doesn't work that way anymore. A club has a minimum amount to spend each year and they can't use this years cap for signings for the following year anymore.
