Flanno's New Signings

[Dragsters]

IMHO we stick with what we have, until we find or sign another Anthony Mundine without the mouth, until then we build a team to compensate.

His name is Katoa, Isaiah Katoa...

The dolphins won't let him go, they got there man.

Give it 3 years and we will have a combo of reed and Ah Kee. That’s mouthwatering. Ah Kee would only still be a teenager but he’s THAT good

 

[possm]

No to Sexton, we have enough average halves, throw good money at a prime Alpha Prop!

In addition to recruiting two alpa props, we need a marquee halfback to pair with Atkinson or LKT. Then bring in Ramsey at fullback and let go those players who are not performing.

Similar words said about Sullivan and Armone. If the Dragons really thing Reed and Ah Kee are the real deal, then lock them up for 5 years and provide them with some sort of scholarship or sponsorship. Show them that they are our future.
Then let Ilias go and have
Flannagan 14
LKT 6
Atkinson 7

Make it work till Reed and Ah Kee come through.

But if the Dragon's have doubts, then they will just take the risk of losing these bright prospects, and go all out for Katoa to play 7.

Although I still think Sullivan and Amone could've been much better footballers had they not been coached by Griffin, I think Reed and Ah-Kee are overall more talented footballers. Reed seems to be a smarter footballer than Bud - although Bud in his early days was quite good, Reed looks like a real student of the game and is a more clinical game manager. Amone was sort of a one-trick pony, but Ah-Kee seems to have a pretty diverse skillset so I'm keen to see hwo things pan out. Early days though.

 

[sammymills]

All this talk of signing/going after Katoa the bloke is signed until 2028?

 

[Slippery Morris]

Lets hope Atkinson and LKT make a good combo.

The Dogs currently have Jacob Preston and Max King on low salaries. They may have to shed 1 if not both the way they are going with all these players they are bringing from other clubs. Their price tags will go up big time so they surely can't fit them in as well as everyone else they have. Clubs should do to them what they do to others and start talking to these 2 as they have been very good for the Dogs. Unfortunately Gould runs the game and more importantly the Player Managers. The NRL is a disgrace for letting it happen.

If Saints are looking at an Alpha prop Max King is the one. Go hard for him.

How quick was it for them to just throw Mahoney and Sexton to the waste bin. Connor Tracey is another. I will never understand how players can be attracted to a club that is just so damn ruthless and will cut you at the drop of a hat? These guys are not the first, they have such a long history of this type of behaviour yet it gets forgotten somehow and players jump to join them.

Excellent post. Sums the situation up completely for mine. There is rumour already of dogs player unrest at 19 y.o. Galvin's arrival on his $750k salary. Laui's apparent distain of Galvin and his connection to ex-Penrith mates at the dogs will only fuel disention. Galvin better be a world beater every game he plays cause he's going to cop weekly criticism all around, and there's so much more.
My missus tries to get me to watch MAFS with her. f**k that's got nothing on the bullflogs drama and watching them hopefully self-destruct!

Plenty of teenagers in the NRL now.

It began as there was talk that he was keen to come back to Sydney.

Not one player that was there in 2021 is there now.

How long till they are ready for first-grade?

Wow, just wow!

The family club hey?

How can that be possible with a salary cap in place. Dolphins built a whole new squad and did not bring in as many high profiles to begin their NRL campaign, yet the Dogs can.

We should get Gus a part on MAFS. Kill two birds with one stone.

It'll be a while Poss. Reed I can see him debuting next season, Ah-Kee is in Harold Matts and is playing a year young to what I know so he's a while away.

I failed MAFS at school, why would I watch it??

and I think max king is the grandson of Johnny king, so the saints connection is there.
