Justin Poore ready to pull pin on Dragons

[slippery_sucker]

Just quietly and reading between the lines I reckon Parra may have increased their offer.

hopefully not alot more... also i hope it has a deadline

 

[Stagger eel]

Stags you reckon its more then 80% chance now he is coming to Parra.
Tbh im a little worried bout something:
I have been hearing Mason is off to Rugby Union in Japan, will Roosters be using his cash to Chase Poore do you think?

lol..can we just settle for a chance???

buggered if I know what percentage chance we are or what other clubs are doing :lol::lol:

I will say one thing though, it is common for a club to make an 11th hour approach to a player completely out of the blue, depending on how quick they move their stocks..

 

[Avenger]

I remember when we signed Tahu. He was all but gone to Manly but then we pounced. Hopefully it will be the same with Poore.

maybe uncle wayne is just playing hardball ... i wouldn't rule the dragons out

I guess anythings possible, he's one heck of an operator ole Benny, it just wouldn't surprise me if he has a few tricks up his sleave.

 

[Avenger]

I still reckon the Dragons are favourites to re-sign him. If however Poore leaves watch Bennett go for one K Hunt.

 

[slippery_sucker]

I think K Hunt' his plan now... his probably wiped his hands of Poore!!!

 

[slippery_sucker]

Dragons always have good frontrowers coming through

 

[Pazza]

the dragons can produce good forwards without trying, a guy like cutie is a one in a million for them. Would be alot smarter to chase him rather than keep poore. Well id like to hope lol

 

[natheel]

Well I hope joe gets a new contract he deserves it that's for sure but knowing our luck we will sign lowrie first haha jks

 

[benoir91]

Imagine the team if we can get Poore and Shack

1. Jarryd HAYNE
2. Krisnan INU
3. Ben SMITH
4. Joel REDDY
5. Eric GROTHE
6. Daniel MORTIMER
7. Kris KEATING
8. Nathan CAYLESS
9. Matt KEATING
10. Justin POORE
11. Nathan HINDMARSH
12. Shane SHACKLETON
13. Feleti MATEO

14. Kevin KINGSTON
15. Fuifui MOIMOI
16. Tim MANNAH
17. Joe GALAVAU

 

[eel4life]

They are confident in getting poore, so here is hoping we do get him we have made a good offer for him ..

He should be a state of origin player for the next few years and he will def help out with the younger players ..

 

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

Maybe next year will be his biggest year of his contract. Front loading it. Then we can do the same later on when Cayless has retired and then Hindmarsh later. I think if we get Poore, we wont lose him unless he drops severly in form. Which is very possible.

 

[natheel]

i think Poore will come my reasoning is that he and Hindmarsh get along very well and i saw this in the Rugby League: Hope in Rwanda story those 6 NRL players - Payten, Hindmarsh, Poore, T. Carney and Graves (not sure of his name lol) they all experienced a major thing together and i would imagine that type of experience would bring people together as mates and possibly could be a reasoning to why poore would come

And if they get Poore and Shack we will have a good team

my line up would be

1. Jarryd Hayne
2. Luke Burt
3. Krisnan Inu
4. Joel Reddy
5. Eric Grothe
6. Daniel Mortimer
7. Kris Keating
8. Justin Poore
9. Kevin Kingston
10. Fui Fui Moi Moi
11. Nathan Hindmarsh (c)
12. Joe Galuvao
13. Feleti Mateo
14. Tim Mannah
15. Matt Keating
16. Shane Shackleton
17. Nathan Cayless

Give Hindy the captaincy
Kingston to start with Keating off the bench
Burt on the Wing and Hayne FB

Note: i think Kingston was only signed for a year....any news on if hes gonna resign???

 

[Eelementary]

Stop getting your hopes up...

 

[eel4life]

Not getting hopes up i have heard we are close, so they seem to be confident in getting him ...

so i guess stay tuned ...
