Dane Neilson

[BennyV]

You're right - those 16 games he played for us last year plus the 8 he played for Newcastle from 2011-2012 lift him to veteran status.......

Yes, I am right.

And yeah, there's definitely no middle ground between rookie and veteran. That was a dino-esque response!

 

[RedVDave]

Don't know why we signed the useless lump in the first place just get rid of him he won't force his way back into the team anyways. It's no conscience that since he got punted we have not lost a game.

 

[Get2dachopper!]

All academic now boys. The team selections thus far have resulted in us being equal first after 7 rounds. Another 3 wins on the trot, we could be possibly looking at a top 4 finish.

Any news about the allegations relating to Dane Nielsen ? This has been dragging along for over a month. As far as I know there were no police charges involved, only a complaint to the Dragons & the NRL.

happy to have it drag out for another 18 weeks.... it means no chance of him getting near first grade selection...

Just saw this on supercoach blog thingy:

"BREAKING: Dragons about to announce they have sacked Dane Nielsen. "

Not all that surprising, but hopefully it means a few dollars back into our cap for 2015.

Yeah mate your bang on doust just released a statement but it's official looks like we have some extra cash now you beauty

 

[tumbidragon]

Make a play for Tupou or SKD?

 

[TheRev]

Dodged a bullet there >.>

 

[Elias1983]

Throw the money at merrin!!!!

 

[possm]

Throw the money at merrin!!!!

It would be great if they could keep Merrin. We finally have a competitive back row rotation:
Thompson
Frizell
Merrin
De Belin

 

[Roo_Ted]

Releasing Neilsen keating and the other guy(can't remember his name) Could we be freeing up cash to get a mid year signing?

 

[St Georgio]

Throw the money at merrin!!!!

Yes Please

 

[Saints Forever]

Henry. Keating, and now Neilson. Our luck is certainly changing for the better !!!

Must have saved $300k per annum as a minimum between them.

Just about enough to top up Trent Merrin or pick up another decent player.

 

[Saints Forever]

We are working our way through the dead wood. Next step is to clear out all the fringe forwards that have no impact thus far like Alcock and the Butcher.

 

[Saints Forever]

Probably means that Fonua Blake is toast however

 

[Hurricanerrc]

Was thinking the same thing, gee I hope not.

 

[Bigcoq]

Danial toupou is a handy replacement.
