Issac Luke confirms Dragons move

[Dragonsamy]

I understand were you are coming from

 

[Mjab]

Of course it's a win-win for the Broncos I let my let McCullough go and get Luke for half the price of McCulloch with us paying half of that if I was them I would also be laughing

Are we paying for Luke to go ?
If he wants out and they want him why would saints pay

 

[Saint Pedro]

Broncos have a cracking little hooker who usurped McCullough. He is injured for a while so Luke fits the bill. Hope hunt goes to hooker and sailor gets a shot at five eighth. Way faster, bullet pass and a hard little fella.

His release was granted, he was under contract, so we foot the bill ( or part thereof ).

I'd say the Clune / Hunt combo is a good fit if only Mary did not insist that all the ball went Hunt's way. In fact it should have been the other way round, most of the ball should have gone Clune's way. In this way Clune could have managed SGI's game and taken a lot more of the kicks in general play. In addition, Sims and Lomax would have got some decent ball to do their magic.

You can be sure that if Norman pairs with Clune, the same will happen again. McInnes or Hunt will use Norman as first-receiver and he will take the majority of kicks in general play.

So for this game, maybe:
1. Norman
2. Pereira
3. Lomax
4. Ravalawa
5. Saab
6. Britten
7. Clune
8. Kerr
9. Hunt
10. Vaughan
11. Frizell
12. Fuimaono
13. McInnes

14. Merrin
15. Lawrie
16. Ford
17. Host

Brittan at 6!! Really possm. That’s a Mary selection right there!!!

Why should we pay. The broncos asked for him, he wanted a release and we agreed. He isn’t being pushed here. Agree with mjab

We could have said no. Thats why.
I also edited my post to say that we are paying part of the salary ( pro rata ).

Fair enough. I think I commented whilst you were editing

To be fair, its only what I heard on radio.
No specifics have been made available.

All good.

Honestly good luck to him.

 

[hazzbeen]

Another one bites the dust ......

 

[Dragonslayer]

As far as I'm aware a player who requests and is granted a release, we are absolved of his salary. Thete is mo freight involved. It is different to us teyingvto off-load a player.

See Mary is a good bloke...what are we all whingeing about
We are all one big happy family at the Dragons...Board, coaches, players,supporters, members and non members all of us....
But can he coach

If anything the Brocos should pay us for his release.

It reminds me of when B Morris wanted an early release to the Dogs who paid us nothing for the cooperation and laughed in our face when he and his brother tore us apart later in the season.

So if we want to get rid of a player, just drop him to reserve grade or park football and wait for his manager to find him another club.

 

[Outlaw Pete]

Given the stated circumstances I fail to see why we would be paying Anything to release him.

 

[slippery5]

After watching his input last Monday we have nothing to be concerned about & now maybe Britton or Hunt will be rotated there.

And why do you think he left possm............serious question.

Ok if he’s not disgruntled does that mean he’s gruntled?

 

[Gareth67]

My Gawd ! The situation cannot possibly get any worse . So Issac Luke will be leaving the Dragons after a handful of matches with the apparent blessing of all concerned ?

I sincerely hope that the media reports are incorrect in as much as that we will be footing part of the bill . If he wishes to take up an opportunity with the Broncos then that is his choice , but we should not be paying a penny for him to do so .

If the powers to be decide that “ Well it’s fine by us Lukey just ask how much the J.V needs to pay for your decision not to see out your contract with us and we will mail a cheque to them “ .

And the J.V. has no money ? Money they have , common sense - zilch.
