Dragons rumours

[Collateral]

hahaha Apparently we are 'trying' to offload:

Thompson
Sims
Ryles
Timmins

Someone is desperate to destablise the club coming into the finals.

 

[SHD]

I've heard a pretty strong rumour that we're coming very very good at the right end of the season while the various monthly premiers are falling over in a big heap.

 

[Collateral]

Got a source?

Rounds 7-21.

Keith Senior, isn't he a centre?
And isn't he like 30 years old already?
Good grief. lol

Doesn't sound like the right replacement for Bailey. I'd say the future lies with the likes Ashton Sims who has been earmarked for that spot.

...and welcome to the forum backtobasics.

yes Kieth Senior is a center , but he is sometimes pushed into a second row postion , Despite his size his deffence ability actually helped out leeds quite alot when they were trailing behind in games . Im not sure of Senior's Age but Andrew Johnes is 37 and his keeping up with the best of them and is currently playing the best football of his life , I constently wonder why no Australian Clubs look at english players like Carny and Senior more often .

I didnt say Senior to replace bailey in the front row , i said Senior should be put in the side because Bailey is a work horse and were going to loose alot of ground when he goes . Senior will be able to re enforce the second row and centers . The buety of it is we wouldnt brake the calary cap purchasing Keith Senior

but Andrew Johnes is 37

Joey was born in 1974. That makes him 31.

I rate Senior as one of the best centres in the world for both codes....but he is too old and we have the best centre pairing in the world already and plenty of up and coming fowards for the second row.

 

[Nugby]

well, you know where centres go when they get old. Numbers 11-17.

From a small piece in RLW's 'The Mole'...

"Sims may end up at Bondi in the near future... maybe even next season"...

One year left on his Dragons contract.

This would be a big blow...

Who has heard what???

 

[Willow]

The Mole is never wrong. lol
I have no idea except that people who know more than the Mole have told me that Sims is part of a 'long term plan' at Saints.
Then again, I was told by an official that Mark Riddell was going to stay with Saints the day before he signed with Parra.
These things can change from week-to-week and anyone who has a 'hot tip' for months down the track is usually blowing it out their arse.

 

[Slippery Morris]

Would rather keep him than Henderson. Sims is a Giant. I would be shattered if that happened.

Rooster got Anasta and Harrison. What is their salary cap 8 million?

 

[Dragon_psa]

The Mole also said Baz would be a Rooster.....

I wouldn't panic just yet.

 

[brokendigit]

*bump*

Guys, this rumour appears to be gaining ground. Is anyone else hearing this from their trusted sources?

I've got everything crossed that he steps up Saturday night, & an early release is shelved...

Mods - could you move this to Rumour thread? Cheers!

 

[Willow]

Done.

I thought Greenshields had signed for '06 and then was going to the Gold Coast in '07.
I also was told about the Lance Thompson issue. Don't be surprised if they just tell him
"We have no further need for you in the current team plans". They did it to Stoney when he was within reach of the club record for games played, and they'll do it again if it's a non-representative player. It is probably the only issue I have with the Dragons. I am going to ask at the football club AGM just who are the retention and recruitment committee members. The Preacher

 

[Collateral]

I heard Timmins was as good as gone and had come to terms on a deal with Hull but then changed his mind about leaving and now wants to remain with the Dragons.

 

[dubopov]

Apparently Ennis has been released and either Timmins or Thompson will be axed..

[BIKER DRAGON]

does club loyalty mean nothing anymore if youhave been at a club more than 5 years you should not even come under the salery cap that is what all clubs should be pushing as well as the players union

 

[BIKER DRAGON]

keep thompson and timmins at the dragons where they belong
