Interesting times indeed. Hopefully Payne HassSo, which Broncos forwards have "coach clauses" in their contracts ?
Id take Xavier Willison as wellInteresting times indeed. Hopefully Payne Hass
We can look elsewhere but Lodge is exactly the type of forward the Dragons are 'able' to sign.Although he would likely fill a gap for a big brutal prop, I really hope we look elsewhere.
Sign him up. We need a big ugly front rower and he fits the bill. He's kept out of trouble since that incident, so why not give him a go.We can look elsewhere but Lodge is exactly the type of forward the Dragons are 'able' to sign.
If we do sign him, will be interesting to see what impact that has on Blocker given their history. There's always been a bit of competition between them on the field. If he ends up in the team it might force Blocker to pull his finger out.View attachment 94616
Small article in todays Daily Telegraph. Lodge still being linked to the Dragons.
If I was a sharks fan.. the ideal scenario is they can move on Kennedy and keep the rest.. I would have thought Trindell would test the market for huge money, but there is some narrative about him repaying the club for being patient with him or some such... god I hate that the other clubs get that when we need players.
While Kennedy is an improvement over Sloane its true.. its not as big as an upgrade as I would have liked.. or even someone like a Hopoate/Faulalo/Campbell/Faalago etc.. someone with big potential...
And can he play centre? Because thats another issue for us.. and ofcourse none of this helps with our halves problem... but as I keep saying.. Ill take any upgrade.. Flanno is obviously trying every angle possible to find them.
where?Although he would likely fill a gap for a big brutal prop, I really hope we look elsewhere.
Truewhere?
Like you said, keep Hunt to serve out his contract while Flanno tries to get wishart back from the storm to take over as our main playmaker for 26 and onTrue
I'm not sure how dire the Hunt situation/relationship is though.. 12 months ago I think Flanno was open to a trade but also open to keeping him.. im not sure if thats still the case now.. none of us really know the internal politics there.Hunt is still contracted so we don't have a halves problem right now, fullback is the problem area at the moment if we keep Hunt for 12 months his money frees up for 2026 to get a half from November 1.

Get some decent middle forwards and you'll see the fullback and half problems ease.Nope, we keep saying we need a halfback but the reality is we don't right now as he is contracted until that changes we need to look at other areas & Fullback is the major one.
Some what harder said than done Sloan . Flanagan has tried , unfortunately without much success to date . Although If Lodge did come our way then at least we know there will be another forward in the pack that will give 100% .Get some decent middle forwards and you'll see the fullback and half problems ease.
I think Lodge is in the background as a fallback plan at the moment.Although he would likely fill a gap for a big brutal prop, I really hope we look elsewhere.
He doesn't stick around for long. Maybe he should change his name to DisLodge.View attachment 94616
