Flanno's New Signings

[Gold_Coast Dragon]

I still haven't seen anything from Atkinson except that he is keen and gets involved. Not the savour some on here think he is. We need a long kicker and someone to run the show.

It's hard to shine as a half coming off the bench for various positions.

Any movement going to happen before June 30?

When do the final two spots need to be filled by?

June 30

Must be just signing from within and radio silence in the news

 

[Gardenia]

If DCE has not signed with the Rorters he could be worth a look. He knows how to control the speed of a game which our halves can’t do and this has lost us too many games in2025. Also his vast experience and knowledge would be invaluable to our young halves coming through the ranks. I think money is important to him and I don’t know if we have enough in our salary cap to match what he is after.

Yes, we do. We are the lowest-priced squad in the NRL. We have not spent the cap

DCE is not our solution. His form of late has dropped significantly. I don’t believe we would get the best out of him and it would likely be another senior player being paid too much by us and not delivering.

 

[Get2dachopper!]

I think DCE would have a point to prove, things are going pear shaped at Manly and he has been dropped from origin.
if he can deliver even 50% of what Cronk did when he went to the roosters, it would be huge for us.

We'd definitely be a better team with DCE.

I dunno if DCE is retiring or whether we would be in the hunt for his signature along with perhaps the Tigers who missed Reynolds and seem to want a short-term experienced 7..

But yeah I agree, DCE wouldnt be the dream signature but even if hes not running as often like the younger version of himself, he would still be a proper 7 for us, classy kicking game.. it would be a huge step up.. that 2nd year in 2027 might be a tough year to have him on the books though... it would have to be a 2yr contract to get him which is what the rorters were offering.. and what the tigers were offering reynolds.

Reed is rly thriving in U21's, that doesnt mean he will do the same in Cup and then 1sts.. but 2yrs would be ideal to buy us some time while he keeps climbing the development ladder.. next year I think he will start NSW Cup from Round 1.. I think so anyway..

We'd definitely be a better team with DCE.

& a pack that bends the line LPT as big as he is doesn't seem to run with any intent whatsoever.

 

[Wolfgang90]

I'd like to see us go after savala, sexton & dce. Get one of them, imo Atkinson could potentially play fb too.

Agree but we are running out of time i wonder if those discussions have taken place internally

How about signing a couple of international Rugby props to lead our your props on the field? Make room by letting the following players go:

Lawrie
Sele
Lielua
Guler
Klemmer
BMM
Suli
Ilias
Flannagan

Then debut Jett Liu and we would have a good mix of youth and experience talent.
