Dragons keeping a close eye on queensland cup hooker Haele Finau. What are your thoughts?

 

[dragon thomo]

Complete crap.
Hunt should be our hooker next year with Sullivan halfback.
Chase Ro son for 2024

 

[SnowDragon]

Can’t tell much, and I agree I’d like to see hunt transition. However, he does something none of our recent hookers have done, he scoots out and draws the player before passing, this creates indecision… is he going to pass or run? Whoever we have I want to see that!

 

[VodkaSaint]

it is def something we need, love the way he takes off out dummy half

Say no more ...... easy ......

Isn't his team In the qld cup average.

 

[HenryTatana]

So the top 30 will comprise:
Macca (until confirmed he is retiring)
Little
Mbye
Mullheisen (unless development contract).
I'm no roster manager but FFS lets not go overboard on hookers, shit and unproven ones at that.

I am afraid that season 2023 is the year of the hooker ( as Frank Sinatra once said ) . The Dragons have been going through phases , for instance last season was the year of the prop , before that the year of the 2nd rower , 2024 will probably be the year of the fullback with none other than Teddy Tedesco making his debut in the Red & White .

Not a bad team, its storms feeder club i believe. So he is out the storm system. Tigers came 7th this year and were eliminated by the seagulls first week of finals 24-18

We are wasting our time and salary cap. I'd play Hunt at 9 until Robson is available. And I'd play Sullivan at halfback until he gains the skills and confidence to hold onto that position.

If possible, I'd let Hunt go now, we aren't going to win a comp in 2023; another wasted season. So, why not get things ready for when our 'entitled' head coach (Dean Young) arrives in 2024.

I get it.. But what you're suggesting is smart. Unfortunately the board and coach are incapable of doing anything that makes sense.

If he was going from us to them it would work out..
But coming into our system from theirs, it's a uphill battle,knowing us.

QLD , QLD cup, the letter Q in general, sounds like pure Drags recruitment to me!

Nobody is going to pay Hunts 1.1mill for next year so we would have to chuck in at least 300 k which defeats the purpose.

 

[blacksafake]

If he can tackle he’d be a better option than McCullough, although having just signed Liddle I can’t see it happening.
Wonder if the interest is due to our new AC Wolfe who no doubt has seen a fair bit of him.

Fair point

A straight swap for David Fifita with the Titans for season 2023 and then a 3-year deal to follow could happen and with the right recruitment people would happen.

There is so much talent up here . All grades are good comps . Storm do a lot of recruiting from here and they go ok

Just need the right club, structure & coach to bring them through.
Unfortunately we don’t have any of it at the moment.
