keary a dragon

[Get2dachopper!]

Souths offered Keary $550k and later withdrew the offer, if the dragons offered in the vivinity of $400k then that's why he hasn't signed.

No decent half is going to sign for 400k. Those are like salaries from 5-6 years ago. Time to move with the times Dragons.

 

[Dragons 09]

Not sure what we are trying to achieve by re-signing Benji and his busted hammy for one more year.

If true, i'd say it is an admission by the board that there is no chance of attracting anyone better for the right coin while ever Mary is coach and that they have no intention of moving Mary on early........ Same shite, different year!

I think if the dragons didn't offer $600k then they've done the right thing. I've heard Keary linked to manly, the roosters and rugby in the last week, where he ends up only God knows.

 

[Jubileeboy]

Reluctant or flat out can't.

You do understand the NRL gives us money each year to pay the players, right?

Why is it an admission from the board ? They don't recruit the players.
Maybe Benji @$300k becomes a back up half?
Seeing as we're all speculating here...Maybe we're waiting for someone else?

Agree, could be waiting for someone else......we have a habit of waiting years for that "masterstroke":sarcasm:

The board have no say in recruitment you think.....no say in regards what we spend and when we spend it?......no involvement in the recruitment process whatsoever?:lol::lol: Clueless:crazy:

Do tell...You're clearly the expert here on recruitment and how the club operates.
Do they use the name in hat system or secret polls?
How do the Recruitment and Retention Committee feel about this? Do they know 'The Board' is doing all of the recruiting?

Wawrick had a tough job ahead of him it seems.

Who does the Director of Recruitment and Retention report to? Or are you suggesting they report only to themselves and have free rein without need for accountability?
I guess you also feel the board at Parramatta shouldn't even be questioned in relation to goings on over there seeing as though the board obviously has no involvement in the process? Please, give me a break.

Ok, I will give you a break. Just this once.

Lurker is again reporting Keary signing is imminent. I was against however last few weeks my opinion is being swayed

http://www.nospam47.com/league/list...od-boiling/1uif1ipbtb45z11waziferpgew/slide/4

It was the talk of the town a couple of months ago, and now the 'Greg Inglis to Brisbane' speculation has re-surfaced.
It has constantly been denied by Inglis' management but this rumour seems to have some substance.
And watch for St George Illawarra to shortly confirm the signing of South Sydney's Luke Keary.
Melbourne has also shown interest in Keary, but it looks as though the Red V will claim his signature.

I agree DragonsBlood

Gee it would be nice to have an actual real genuine halfback .

 

[St Georgio]

It would be a nice signing, Can Benji play hooker, I am sure our attack could be spiced up with him playong there?

I think I'd rather the Dragons buy Sandow. He is playing very well in the ESL and I'm sure he wants a fresh start back in the NRL.

 

[Dragsters]

I too was not sold on keary but on hearing that he is actually a halfback is a plus and looking at what else is available in proper halfbacks and if we get him at a decent price then he could just fit the bill nicely.

Yes we have some potential quality halfbacks in the junior ranks but they will all need time to develop.

Pull the trigger dragons!

If benji comes good over the back half of the season then I would consider him for a potential super sub position for next season if he wants to stay on a modest-ish contract.

He can cover a number of positions and could add xfactor fresh off the bench in the final quarter.

Super league is sub standard ffs.

He will always shine over there. Hell, busted up, lame terry campese played in a win on the weekend where he set up three tries and didnt get tackled ONCE. should we sign him?

We could try for Campese but more likely to sign David!! Does he have the speed Dino craves for?

Hurry up already, and while we are at it, sign up Cherrington from Tigers as Hooker he wants out of there..

:crazy:

My word

:lol:

 

[Slippery Morris]

Sandow? Wow now that is really scraping the barrell. When he is good he is OK but when he is bad he is really really bad. No in between for him.
