Dragons Squad June 30 Deadline

[Gareth67]

Isn’t Maketo homesick yet ?

 

[Dragsters]

Merrin has twice denied he is coming back, stating he will honour his 4 year UK deal, the latest being yesterday...

 

[Wittenberg]

Hearing Jason Saab is actually going to be promoted to the top 30 and I doubt Runciman will get brought in since he’s been playing most games that I know of in the second row. Hopefully the eels forward in question is Mau though

The Eels would not be that stupid.

Don't you love the way that high profile players avoid our club like the plague?
Roberts asked for a release from the Broncos, was granted that release and headed straight to Souths to play under Bennet.
While McGregor continues to play at being a FG coach, other clubs are planning and plotting to win premierships.
Apart from aptitude and technical knowledge, you can't underestimate the influence a top line coach has on recruitment.

June 30 2025.
Hayne and JDB.

 

[TruSaint]

Doesnt matter who we recruit.....sadly our season is well and truly gone yet again...and will continue whilst McGrexit is at the helm

Yep,

After this year and next, we will be "evaluating and planning " 2021 and beyond. Nothing that has taken place this year gives me any reason to suggest otherwise.

A wasted 8 years then who ever comes in , ( if its not from within the club ) will have to start all over again .... Scary thought it could be another ex player taking over ....

Apparently Triple M is reporting Rhys Martin to the Dragons before June 30. Anyone seen this?

Would be good signing imo.

You just hear that now, or is it old news ?

Just heard it now, might be an old rumour resurfacing.

Would be a great signing.

 

[Frank Facer]

I would say no to Martin. We are right for secondrowers. We also have Ford in CC, who is apparently going very well.

We need wingers, centres and at least one prop.

Goes ok but apparently a bit lazy which is why he’s been in & out of the top squad this year.
Needs a good coach(which he won’t get here) I think to fulfill his potential. Added bonus of being a good goal kicker.

 

[Old Timer]

We don't need another goal kicker nor a toothless dog with little or no bite in it.

I think he is already 25 or 26, so I don't know about him fulfilling his potential.

 

[Mark D]

Thinking they may go after Walmsley

 

[Saint_JimmyG]

I'd say which two players does Millward have in mind. Remember it was Millward who heaped praise on his new signings, Rava and Pearson and claimed credit for securing Maranta and Runciman.

Back to the point, the NRL seem to be insisting we recruit a new replacement player for De Belin in order to receive salary cap compensation and Millward has gone on record saying he would be recruiting a top grade outside back. So it seems to be an outside back and a lock who wants to move clubs before June 30.

If Robson is committed to NQ, then we probably/reluctantly need to let him go prior very soon to make space for an extra outside back to be brought into our top 30. Saab would be my pick to do this. We have so many in the top 30 we should get rid of but unfortunately it would be impossible to do as no other club would want them. However, if Dufty, Field, Rava, Pearson, Runciman, Allgood, Latimore etc. want to move on before June 30, I'd hope the club would not stand in their way.

Having said all of the above, I feel this season is a lost cause and so we need to be developing some of our best and brightest in preparation for the 2020 season.

Hang on a sec....do you really want to give Pearson the flick after just one game? You’ve been advocating his inclusion quite strenuously since round one. Ravalawa, on the other hand, is a complete dud

 

[dragon thomo]

We need a forward that shows some mungrel not someone that is lazy or only plays when he wants to.
No for Martin or Packer
We are short a good prop

 

[Dragonsamy]

There is a reason why Martin can't get a regular nrl spot at the bulldogs.
So no thanks
