Jack Bird to Dragons 2018 Rumour Won't Go Away

[dragonssamy61]

Yep, and we will make the same mistake again by playing Mccrone ahead of Mann (in particular) and Nona.

Spot on jonesy
We will lose both mann and nona at the end of the year.
They both need a run in first grade.
It would be a shame to lose mann.
He is a nrl player.

Does anyone know what Mann did to upset Mary? It's the only explanation I can think of for the way he seems to be on the outer.

I would love if the Dragons can take one of Cronulla's players. For years they have been taken players and coaches of us, Price and Flangan used to play for the Dragons. Beale, Prior and Bird were all taken from the Dragons. They hate us and back in 1999 their CEO cut up a St George Jersey. The club should make a gamble for Valetine Holmes or Jack Bird so we can have a laugh back at them. Or offer Shane Flangan a contract to become head coach.

In all honesty out of that list the only one we should have kept is Bird. Prior is a good solid first grader..nothing special..Price..are you kiddin'..they did us a favour.

Prior is a good solid first grader..nothing special..

Prior is still unjustly underrated. Also now has 2 premierships - not bad for apparently being just a good solid first grader.

Always rated Prior. Not sure why he was bagged so much when in the red V. Had his worst year under Price and was probably glad to leave and then along comes Price to the Sharks with him, but as an assistant which is where he should be. Poor bloke, could not get away from Price, but hey he won 2 comps. He really stepped up for the Sharks when they got injuries and was one of their best. Played a pivotal role in their success.

Yes..but still has a tendency to drop the odd ball...ask any Sharks supporter. Would I have kept him..yes for the right money. Is Prior a Rep player...Probably on the cusp..a solid worker and every team needs them.

P.S Agree he had his worst year under Price.As for 2 premierships..in the right place at the right time.

 

[Dragsters]

One thing is certain re Prior, he's a better prop than he is a centre, Steve.

Got no idea but if mann is not given a good run in nrl.
You would think it must be personal

 

[Forster Dragon]

Mann should be our first back picked.If McGregor does not pick him he is a bigger goose than we all know.

Went against game plan and actually scored tries and made breaks, bad in marys book

Same thing Wakeman must have done...

 

[monsterkev]

Showed to much promise for mary,
Mann needs to tone it down a bit if he expects to get a game,if you score to many tries you have to sit out the following season as punishment

Pretty sure one of them was off a kick too - we all know they don't count.

You forgot to add 'made Mary look a goose in front of the team' - just imagine, Mann playing what he sees in front of him!

 

[Dragon Revival]

Mann was the best attacking back last year followed by Aitken.

Yes..but still has a tendency to drop the odd ball...ask any Sharks supporter. Would I have kept him..yes for the right money. Is Prior a Rep player...Probably on the cusp..a solid worker and every team needs them.

He lost his brother that year right? And then was outed for some weeks due to almost taking JT's head off. Added to this the fact that he never played one solid position for us and there you have the reason why he never reach his full potential at the Dragons. He did have a drop in him.

 

[Twenty10]

Mann's problem is he doesn't have a position. He's shown the most when playing on the wing. If he went elsewhere he'd have the same problem. He's not a true anything.

 

[Old Timer]

It was reported that shortly after the Dragons v Eels 9's game a bird was seen flying south from the Taj.
A person who knows about such matters stated that the migration for this bird will happen every winter.

FMD if he went somewhere else a good coach would make a decision and play him in a position and make him a rep quality footballer.
Ih he is a winger so be it after all he scored plenty then pick him as a winger and stop buying shitters like Lafai, Fai Fai Loa and probably McDonald who look ordinary today.
Mann doesn't have a position with us because we have a gronk running the place who doesn't know anything and doesn't have a plan for anyone.

 

[Forster Dragon]

Mann is our best back by far.
