Dragons Rumoured Signings

[TheRev]

Can Mateo play Prop?

Can Mateo play Prop?

I'd say he'd go to lock, Merrin back to the front.

If only he could play halfback...

 

[Cherrybrookdragon84]

Take it with a pinch of salt.....but the Mole is hinting that Mateo is a good chance

 

[big pat]

does the mole ever get anything right.

does the mole ever get anything right.

can break a story & loves telling everyone about it, but is never wrong because he'll throw in a "things change" line to cover himself

 

[saints4ever]

Great talent but seriously don't know why we would go so hard for him. Its not like backrow is limited with players. With the type of coin he would want I think we could cover other positions better. Like prop. Or you know halfback

From dragons red v email, rein has signed for 3 years.

Potentially a 6?
Widdop 7?

 

[Minh]

A Johnny Sutton type 5/8?

 

[Minh]

Hope not though.

 

[bottle]

I'm not opposed to it.
Has played there for the eels.
Is big and robust, doesn't need to be hidden in defence.
Has skills.
If Widdop can organise, he can be let have his head a bit.
Is versatile enough to run a bit wider if need be.
Plenty of upside.

You have a point. At least he would be hard to contain when he decides to run, might even be a masterstroke.

 

[bottle]

Consistency has been his flaw, or lack thereof to be precise.
Has the raw talent to make a fist of it if he can bring his best week on week.

It is only a guess but I bet we hear Widdop come out in the press at the start of the 2014 season and say one of the reasons for him to come to the Dragons was the promise of the number 7 jersey and the role of being the main man in the team.

If that is the case, Kyle Stanley, Beale, Farrell, Drinkwater and Mateo (not to mention Quinlan) could all fulfil that second fiddle role of chiming in when necessary.

I wouldn't rule out Beale at 6 for next year.Gerard that is.

 

[Joey_dragons]

looks like mateo is staying at the warriors. dragons might have to go after another play now, or they might have someone in mind.

Damn, I was hoping we could get some of Feleti's several missed tackles a game and lazy attitude!

I didn't know Soward changed his first name to feleti

Mateo can be a chief destroyer on his day, but those days are few and far between.
