Dragons to sign Fijian flyer

Some good news for the Dragons in the wake of last weekend’s heart-breaking loss to Souths - the club has landed Fiji’s World Cup flyer Mikaele Ravalawa for 2019.

The club has been in talks with the Canberra youngster for months and an announcement is imminent.

Ravalawa could be the man to replace veteran winger Jason Nightingale in coming seasons.

At just 20, he is a real crowd pleaser who scored five tries in one game for Raiders feeder club Mounties earlier this year and was the club’s top try scorer for the season.

Fast and strong, he’s set to continue the tradition of exciting Fijian wingers in the NRL.

It's never worked out well for us in the past signing these wingers so lets hope he is a success.

This sounds positive.
Lets hope it turns out that way.

Our best without doubt were Walford and Blacklock , years and years ago obviously, can't really think of anyone else in the last 20 odd years that we have bought as a winger who has excelled..

If he is fast , big athletic and has heart he will be OK ....

 

[JohnnoMcJohnno]

Sounds like a good signing. Hopefully can make the leap to first grade without any problems. And I hope he can pass!

Tru don't know to much about him , but like I mentioned if he is a big unit that is fast , athletic might be OK . Its like put Bolt on the wing tell him to catch the ball and run . These days if a winger is athletic fast the rest can be coached ...

Agree hazza, just saying the deal isnt done yet.. Not saying it wont be, but yes, he sounds like a decent option.

Wonder if that means no Corey Oates?
It was a tough one anyhow and maybe Saints were aware they had little chance.

Re your last sentence in principal I agree but not so sure that is possible with our current coach.

Bronson Harrison ?
