Well said 666. Rather keep supporting the Dragons in last place than walk around pretending to be a souff's supporter like half of my town suddenly has. Stay staunch.

It is about time that you now allow the new players to perform, if they don't, tell us what you think, until then put a bloody smile on your face. It needs it otherwise you will be full of wrinkles.:lol::lol::lol:

I'm sure there'll be plenty of excuses then, too. Even if there isn't at least the sun will still rise yada yad yada. Mediocrity is boring.

He will be 30 next year and due to injuries has lost some of his pace.
If I was a young back coming through the grades like Runciman I would be on the phone to my manager straight away looking to get out of the club ASAP.....

Dragons signings over the last few years have sent a very clear message to the juniors .....go elsewhere if you want a chance.... And they are....

That's a year older than the Morris twins Red
Heard that avg life expectancy for Aussie men is up to eighty
Plenty of time :)

Point is we didn't buy Morris when he was 30, already have got several top class years out of him before then.

I don't believe in buying a 30 year old who's best years are behind him, if it was a 30 year old cooper Cronk or Thurston then its a totally different story as they are genuine match winners even at 30.

But for a centre that's lost his pace hmmm,... Would rather invest in an up and coming youngster ...

I think that JMoz may be in that category too
What's your opinion of Neilsen's defence
IMO that's pivotal at this time

Still unsure on nielsens defence. At Melbourne he looked very competent under the Bellamy defensive pattern, but at the Warriors he looked a bit suspect at times.
In the few origin matches he played he didn't let anyone down but that was 5-6 years ago.

I would have preferred some serious strike power in the centres, but hopefully with signing a specialist centre i am hoping it means Dugan may move back to fullback.... And that's a good thing.

My mail is that Duges wants to go back to fullback so that's what will happen
I think that a solid defender is paramount at right centre so hopefully either Nielsen or Mata'utia will handle that task. I expect Runciman and Nabuli on the left.
