Jayden Sullivan

[Forbes Creek Dragons]

Interesting if his management is interested in a say 4 year contract at 350k or would rather a 2 year and hit the market then for the big bickies. Bit of a risk either way i guess but just sign him up. One of the things he showed us in the 3 to 4 games he played was that he can tackle which rounds him up nicely. Hope Hook doesn't overdo the hooker thing too much next year and gives him a chance at 6 and interchange in tandem with Amone. There's no doubt all three boys will require a break once or twice during the year.

Hunt coming off his best ever year and not getting any younger could probably do with a rest here or there too if we are in the fortunate enough position to give him a rest now and again and play Sullivan at 7.

Level headed young man with the goal of being Jayden Sullivan and no one else, that to me is a very good thing.

Seems like a great young man with a good attitude. Hopefully he’ll fulfill his potential & have a long career at the dragons. Also like his comments about Hunt.

I'd love to see us be adventurous enough to run with this spine from round 1 next year.

Now is the time to dream I guess before reality sets in round 8 next year

Me too. The three amigos, Sloan, Amone and Sullivan have been playing with each other since HMC.. probably before. We have had a glimpse already this season of the unique combination they have forged. Surely an experienced coach such as Griffin can see this too. Hunt will be in his comfort zone as hooker.

At the moment Hunt is our best 7 & should
be picked there. Buds time will come.

He definitely will be anyway. Let’s just hope we have reserve grade next year. I wonder who our reserve grade halves are going to be?

Good question, I’m sure @George Dragon can answer that for us.

It's an interesting question.
This year alone our KC halves have swapped and changed almost every game. But that is the nature of reserve grade with tge mix of youngsters coming from JF, 1st graders who don't make the final 17 and part-timers.
For example:
The half backs used this year were: Zeik Foster, Adam Clune, Jayden Sullivan and Junior Amone.
The 5/8 used were: Tyran Wishart, Zeik Foster, Siti Moceidreke, Jayden Sullivan and Tony Pellow

So, we probably won't know the answer until all squads are announced and that's a long way off yet.

Signing Sullivan to long team deal should be a priority. Sloan, Amone and Sullivan have to stay at the Dragons. They are the future.

 

[Maddragon99]

With Dufty & Norman gone I’m not too concerned about Sloan or Amone leaving but Sullivan still has another year behind Hunt which worries me. Pay him whatever he wants & lock him up!

Pay him what he wants , really ?

 

[Maddragon99]

Pay him what he wants , really ?

Sure, why not? He’ll be our halfback for a decade, would you prefer we lose him & have pay way overs again like we did with Hunt?

Lmao. You’re the same guy who says you’d rather Cameron ciraldo over hook. You legit have no idea about how to run a club/salary cap.

I don’t run the club, I’m a mere supporter who vents his opinion on the internet.

let’s see how many supporters Griffin has next year when he’s run out of excuses, and Ciraldo is in the mix.
