So any news on signings???????
Me tooHave also enjoyed you posts Dragon David, i have followed the Dragons since 1961.
Wow, that means I should really stop watching footy until 2026 and then watchout, Dragons as premiers !!!The trouble is il die waiting
DRAGONS
Players off contract for 2024: 28
The Dragons are pushing hard as coach Shane Flanagan looks to strengthen his squad. If he can sign some players for 2024, he will do it in a heartbeat. St George Illawarra have the capacity to do it as well.
On contract for 2025: 15
The Dragons have buckets of cash to spend in 2025 and they could have even more if Ben Hunt leaves, as is widely tipped. If that happens, you can throw in another $800,000 or so. St George Illawarra will be one of the big hitters in the market. No-one is off limits with the amount of cap space they have at their disposal.
On contract for 2026: 6
Zav Lomax is the only big name the Dragons have on contract in 2026. They could have upwards of $9 million to spend in 2026 which would make them a serious threat to every other club in the game. They could have a shot at every marquee player in the game without fear of busting their cap.
Big cap eaters: Ben Hunt (2025), Jack de Belin (2024), Zac Lomax (2026), Jack Bird (2025), Francis Molo (2024), Jaydn Su’A (2024)
Good question well asked, I'm pretty sure a club cant stockpile unspent cap and then have a huge hit at some stage but I also dont know what happens to the money that isn't spent.Hi All, I know the cap has some ‘ twists and turns’ within the broad amount of $$$ paid to each club And TPAs and whatnot. However, I am off the pace in some respects; particularly if a club doesn’t spend its complete cap allocated to it. Obviously, a club can’t stockpile huge $$$ and then spend big to win a comp in a small window of opportunity, but what are the rules around this matter.
If a poster on the forum knows, please post a brief summary if you don’t mind.
I really don't care and you're yet to burst my bubble dude.You know what's getting moronic? Your continuous complaint on the quality of posts, you've appointed yourself as some sort of "quality officer". It's fine to disagree about something but you've continued to belittle other posters opinions by claiming "bad" post quality. If you don't like the posters, put them on ignore or simply leave this board.
No one should continue to be belittled by your continuous quality complaints. It adds zilch to the discussion. Sorry to burst your little bubble.

Hey since77.I really don't care and you're yet to burst my bubble dude.
I've been on this forum for a very long time. Back to before it migrated here from MSN. It always had a range of opinions - smart and dumb. Useful and irrelevant. Thats' fine.
But lately some of the people here are making the inbred clowns on the Dragons Facebook groups look like absolute geniuses. So many posts by people who obviously know nothing about how the business of football works or how the game works. So many posts whinging about lack of signings, blaming a coach who's been employed for literally 5 week. And the one I criticised yesterday that was complaining that we didn't sign Capewell was just completely ridiculous and deserved to be called out for the nonsense that it was.
So if people like you are happy with the current juvenile level of discussion that's fine. And by all means click ignore for me, just like I'm finding I'm having to use the ignore button more and more lately. The problem with that is it is leaving me very little to read here lately.
Don't leave this forum because of one apparent critic of posts.Thanks for bloody nothing since77. Bloody hell. Is this a sign that my time has come to piss off out of this forum forever?????
I dont think Dave's intent in his post was that we should get Capewell. It was that other clubs seem to be able to conduct business at a very quick rate compared to the Dragons, anyway you have your views.I really don't care and you're yet to burst my bubble dude.

Hay mate let's all settle down , remember we all follow the same team here , yep we all get frustrated and want to see improvement and sometimes we all interpret things differently that some of us post and sometimes we post yea stupid things without thinking ....... So let's all hope , because it's been a tunnel with no light at the end for the past 12 years or so , that Flanno starts getting us out of the dark ....... I say it every year it can not get any worse than it is now ....... And for the first time in a long long time I'm believing it will get better ........I really don't care and you're yet to burst my bubble dude.

There is a minimum amount you have to spend for a certain year, can only be carried over for one year too. Not too sure about exact %sHi All, I know the cap has some ‘ twists and turns’ within the broad amount of $$$ paid to each club And TPAs and whatnot.

Isn't it 95% or close to itThere is a minimum amount you have to spend for a certain year, can only be carried over for one year too. Not too sure about exact %s

In 1977, Hary Bath is one of the better coaches we had . He managed a premiership win only two years after we were slaughtered 38-0 in the 1975 grand final. 'Bath's Babes did the job and repeated the dose two years later in 1979.Hey since77.
I did not complain about us not signing Capewell for effin sake.
Anyway, you do whatever you want. I'm just going to write stuff that is on my mind as it makes me feel good, like all the posters on this Forum, good, bad or indifferent.
Your criticism of what I said and others you can live with and please yourself.
Life isn't worth a shit to worry about who said this and who said that when everyone wants to have his opinion and say stuff to get off the chest. Just like anything, if you don't like anything you don't buy it.
Have a good day.
