Flanno's New Signings

Mmm, don't really understand what your getting at, but if RCG had agreed to the offer on the table, which would have been in alignment to our goals, then yeah he fitted the plan. However, any longer or at higher $$, he doesn't, it's assimple and as complex as that.
We have endured the travesty of over paying, over contracted players, bound for retirement for way too long.

Basically saying I can't see the Flanno's "great game of chess" you allude to. I see us being Checkmated at almost every turn for the last 12 months with all the stars/mid range players we've missed out on. The V. Holmes signing is huge for us, an excellent performer and goal kicker (finished the year atop the Point Scorers list and 60 points better than Lomax), reliable, smart and still has some speed - to replace Lomax who even in his finest year to date still topped the Errors list, again, (V.Holmes not in the top 20, how refreshing), great signing. Apart from that, what ? Cook, who we already know is a Bunnies man through and through and whos heart isn't in his switch to us, purely a business decision it seems. He might play well for us but will he bleed for us (you know what I mean). And then.........fresh air, no other signings, just a pile of dead wood that we know we need to move on but as the Feagai resigning shows, reluctant to leave the cupboard completely bare - a few tins of Spam in case of emergency.

Lawrie and Rava have lost all form.
I hope they sign some forwards.

The haters see everything revolving around the Rorters, with the Great St George team, getting nuffing.
If the Roosters got Hunt to play 9 and he agreed to it, there would be a set of crosshairs on his head from every Dragons fan on his way out. However I do like the part where they reckon he wont be there in 2025, somehow I think "MR Show me the Money" will be there next year, unfortunately.

As a sharks fan I can't believe Flanno after recruiting this player years ago Jack Williams.
He drops the ball now and then but is blown out of proportion in that, we always let a try in from it.
He has a motor on him is a middle.
3 years deal would still only make him 30-31 played just over 100 games.
Would be a great pick up for any team.

And chase Xavier Wilson for 2026, the Broncs cap is messed up having to pay overs to a few players.
He is a young forward with size, might even get him for next year
Cooma boy. His Dad was a copper and dropped me home a few times in the wee hours of the wknd.

Would love him at the Dragons.

But what about getting Tyran Wishart, oh yes, no one wants to play for the Supermerge.
You know even before the supermerge, The original Dragons could attract decent players.
Barnhill, Gourley, Coyne, Bartrim, Tigha, Brown, the Return of Choc, these days the supermerge
, couldn't attract flies to poop.

I'm thinking that Tyran Wishart will play out of his skin when he comes off the bench on Saturday afternoon against Cronulla. Our chances of getting him back playing at the RedV will be long odds.

Boy, our forwards don't look too good for 2025. We really have to get some beauties signed up Flanno otherwise, we won't be in the finals.
