James Graham.

Done deal just checked.
Unless something happens.
3years with a option in our favour.
First year we paying less 50%
Then around 450 gor the next 2
So all good.

Christmas came early this year. Amazing if true.

2018 bench
Lam, Sims, Mann + 1 out of Host, Sele, Leilua, Lawrie, Kerr not too mention anyone else that is around like Robson.
The re-signing of Nighty has also compounded the problem and the inability for Mc Fookknuckle to see that Nene is a dud has made it worse again.
As they say in the classics it's a mess.

Mann needs to be at right centre unless they sign someone else. He can just as easily be moved to an injured players position and someone come in off the bench if required.

 

[possm]

Yes. Graham will be a real leader.
2018 is looking gooooooood....

I hope he is named captain next year. Widdop is not a good leader at all.

I don't think its as bad as you make out there Sir. This year hasn't been a waste of a season. I think we have shown that our forward pack is one of the best in the NRL.
We have seen a massive improvement on last year in every aspect. Most players have really lifted since last year. JDB, Widdop, Lafai have all improved out of site on last years form.
2017 has been a frustrating season. There are no excuses for losing to knights, rabbits, titans etc.
But overall 2017 has been a big step in the right direction. Our recruitment has been solid and if we add Graham that will be amazing.
2018 with Hunt at halfback there are no excuses for the coach. If he cannot get the team playing great footy then his time is up.
Not the best roster next year but in the top 6 best rosters IMO.
Roosters look very good on paper next year......

Agreed. I'll take our pack over every other pack in the comp, but any team that plays Josh McCrone at halfback is going to struggle. He tries his arse off but a lack of skill can't always be compensated for by hard work.

A big red head back in the big Red V...almost!
Awesome!

I've never been a real fan of his...but that could be more to do with him playing for the Dogs, but as soon as he pulls on our colours that will change.

I am looking forward to the passion and mongrel he will bring on the park and it'll be there for all to see. My pet hate is the chummy on field BS you see these days. The bloke is a competitor and CARES! If he shows that and does his job, 2 thumbs up from me!

The only players I won't cop who join the Drags are sex pests, woman bashers and DV f**ks like Ferguson, Lodge and Tetevano. Luckily, we seem to be the only team in the comp who won't sign people like that and release them if they do. Point is, Jems was a Bulldog, but now he's a Dragon. He's going to fit right in.

Great signing IMO Mary might learn something from him as well .... A change of club a new lease of life for him ....

Mary won't learn anything.

Just another talent wasted.

There is know way the dogs would let them go

Afraid to say it is a knock on who we have coming through.

No chance of eithre coming so i see no point even mentioning their names.

I wouldnt be to sure about that lads. Its been documented that only Klemmer and Jackson are not for sale. we could get both of them for less then what it would cost us to get Graham.
then we could make a play for campbell-gillard as well. All are young that have years of service to offer.

Shane Perry and Chad Townsend say hello.

 

[Brutalitops]

As lame as McGregor is, Graham seems like one of the types of players Mary's coaching will suit

 

[mobels]

Shane Perry and Chad Townsend say hello.

If we had Chad Townsend in his 2016 form this year we'd be in a much much much better position than what we are in now.

Yeah true, it's not always a death knell when you don't have two star halves is my point.

If there not for sale. How then could we get them cheaper.

Faulao and Mariner are for sale. great players, young, and cheap. Its Klemmer and Jackson only that are not for sale.

I don't see Mann as a centre. I see him as a half or 5/8. That is it.

If that is so, it's a fantastic deal for us.

Very odd to announce before a game featuring the two teams.
