JDB New Skipper ??

[JubileeJeffro]

Let’s count how many line breaks Lomax has made this year……$700k of cap there

 

[justadragon]

I would be happy with that, I havent seen one game where he hasnt put in.

 

[Gardenia]

Just what I heard I’ll find the link later

Actually it was an older podcast so old news .
hopefully Ben isn’t giving them ideas to leave
I think ask the entire group . Hands up who doesn’t want to be here and ping them off start again
Mr elephant is still in the room though and he’s name is Haran

Re JDB as our captain
It’s a no from me
Committed player great player
Sure the team
Love him
But hmm how to say this
He doesn’t have the gift of eloquence in his speech
He’s maybe not the smartest dude in that sense
I think journos may trip him up
Maybe Lawrie

 

[JubileeJeffro]

Can’t be Lawrie, needs to be an 80 minute player not 40 mins. Could be part of the marquee signing pitch… come play 6 or 13 and lead the club as our new captain for next 3 years….now who could it be

 

[The Villain]

Sua
JDB
Lomax

My preferences. In that order.

 

[dragon thomo]

How about Jacob Liddle
Could be a descent player with time, desperate time for desperate measures.

 

[possm]

I would go for Lomax. Although his game had deteriorated at the beginning of the year, he is improving since Hook is gone and as a person he is really matured.

I feel that Flanno will make the right choice of Captain.

If his son Kyle does come to the Dragons, I think Flanno will be the best out of his son.

The deal the Dragons should do regarding Hunt is a straight swap with David Fifita. Both players are worth a similar salary and more than anything, we need a top-grade edge player. Le's hope we can keep Su'A.

 

[dragon thomo]

In all due respect Possm, i would rather a back rower that is a bit more consitant. With the change of coaches thee maybe a couple more players on the market and would not be as expensive as Fiffita.
Wilton, Curran etc

How does Jack De Belin not get a call up for Origin? Is it because his cards are marked "never to represent again"?

 

[Slippery Morris]

I like Lomax as a captain to be honest. You cannot say that this guy does not try hard all game. He may make a error due to an offload but every bomb his way he runs hard to get to. He really tries his gut out to spark something in attack whilst others like Suli would just take the hitup. He hardly gets any early ball from the halves so how can he make a break? He tackles his heart out and takes no crap from the opposition. I think the captaincy role will probably mature him and make him a better player. I cannot wait for Flanno toget his hands on him and the 3 amigos (SAS) especially and looking at a huge 2024 from those 4.

Yes to your second question which would be the reason for your first question.

So Lawrie is the captain for the weekend .......

 

[Slippery Morris]

Lawrie capt? The guy is gassed after 1 hit up. How will he find any energy to talk to a ref? He will have to walk up to him as well and by the time that is done the opposition will be on their 3rd tackle.

Laughable choice and if true we are getting ever closer to rock bottom.

Barely deserves to be in the team let alone captain it.

Sua, Liddle, Lomax all far better options.

Agree old mate , we have hit rock bottom and are now drilling further into the rock ........

Mate, I dont know how often this season I have said we have have hit rock bottom , just so that a couple of weeks later I'm saying I think we have hit rock bottom, FFS its just one disaster after an another.

 

[lombard]

Sua should be captain - he puts in every single week.
Making Lawrie captain is a joke as what standards is he setting for the team besides winning the race to KFC.

 

[KogarahWarrior]

Lawrie may be not be a brilliant footballer but look at his stats per game and you'll find that he actually outperforms his minutes - in his 45 minute-odd stints, averages 122m, 34pcm, and 31 tackles at 94.3% efficiency. Further, if you watch the Dragons junior development training day video you see how much effort Lawrie puts into being a good role model towards the young guys to make sure they work hard and how much he truly cares about St George Illawarra. He is a clubman and very well spoken, too, and character-wise, is the image we should be aspiring towards.

It's funny how so many of you are so quick to criticise our players for having a lack of heart and that you'd rather our blokes give a red hot crack even if we lose, but when we have a player like Block who does that week in, week out, we've 'hit rock bottom', like Block is our biggest problem.
