They MUST fill the last 2 positions available in the squad. Question is will it come from within or external.

Ropana should be a target looks as if he will be squeezed out of Canberra or at least a big metre eater winger.
Rcg hetherington should both be targets
1 centre to replace Aiken at the least.
Get rid of luelia never be allowed to wear the red V with his attitude and commitment levels

Why would these or any player want to come to the Dragons?
We will lose more players than we will sign.
Very soon our team will resemble the Newcastle Knights over the previous seasons, especially 2015-2017. Reliance on juniors (18 -20 year olds) to fill our ranks mixed with a few journeymen.

So be prepared to accept that before June 30 deadline we will either/or promote from the DS or a part-timer from CC or Qld's equivelant.

The pain is just starting people.

Rapana would be a great signing, as long as he can stay injury free. He isn't just a winger. He adds another dimension to a team from the wing. He would be one of the number 1 wingers in the game in my opinion.

Rapana turns 30 in a couple of months. Unfortunately not the answer for the future.

We have 3 reserve grade wingers with potential. This season is gone so I suggest we use the rest of the season testing / coaching these wingers to see if they can make it in first grade next year. The wingers I am speaking about are Saab, Pearson and Ravalawa. I think Pereira is more a centre than winger and so while Lafia is injured, how about testing Pereira at 4 instead of Maranta.

It is very hard to believe we let them go but why we did not replace Nightingale and Macdonald with like for like, I'm also unsure. What happened to the salary cap set aside for Nightingale and Macdonald. Did Millward use it to buy Norman and to avoide letting Widdop go?

Best thing for Lulia is to go to another club and get guidance to how to improve his game. Imagine him in the Melbourne , Roosters or Souths systems.Watch him go then !

This is the crux of our problems.It is not just that we have bad coaches, we have coaches that can't improve or keep the younger players !

After what iv seen a lot of his efforts or lack of don’t think any coach would get the best out of him think it’s just him his lazy
Dufty I think with the right coach could be a superstar
Aiken at manly if he happens will be a super star

Gotta be someone from the Broncos glory year of 2013 to join the likes of Hunt, Norman and Maranta. What's David Stagg been up to lately?
