Kevin proctor

[getsmarty]

Have we made an offer to Proctor and Sims? We only need one unless we can pay a big prop in a brown paper bag. I'd be looking at England for one of their marquee props as I don't think there is any value for money in the Australian market right now unless there is an exception talent in NSW cup stuck behind some established props who shouldn't be

What about Sam Moa???

If we somehow did get proctor and sims I wouldn't be complaining though obviously both would add something more then we already have but there needs to be room for a prop or two. Sam moa is off contract although not that tall, we don't mind Canberra players and tom learoyd lars is off as well and has been playing nsw cup the last month... However he is injury prone!

Class back rowers use to be on $400 and now its between $500 to $600 as the salary cap has gone up.

Yes I've noticed actually I just think 600k would be a little much but 500k wouldn't be so bad! The dragons do have a lot of money to spend and proctor and sims would add size,
Mobility and aggression

I would take Sam for sure, he is exactly what we need though I would have him grow about 6inches in the off season just to fit into the jersey we've been saving for our big prop

[Drop Bear]

Doing the rounds now, Dragons offer more to lure Proctor to the Red V

Good to hear, just hope we sign him.

 

[BennyV]

Dragons offered more officially, or in total? Ie, could Roosters offer include third party deals to make it ultimately bigger.

 

[pinkmoon]

Proctor and Sims? What a waste of money.

We need lumps, not athletic running back rowers.

 

[coast_dragons]

Props people want aren't available or have no intention of joining the Dragons best case scenario Brett White or Tim Browne maybe even Tim Robinson from Cronulla.

as Twenty10 has mentioned, gone to Roosters - forget about him & concentrate on Tariq Sims

Yep and now sims will be a fight.

Our recruitment is rubbish. We recruited Dugan by applying the "Bradbury" technique, ie., there was no one else left and everyone we bought last year we paid overs for but we didnt recruit in two areas that are hurting us this year: prop and halfback.

I think halfback is a little harsh, we recruited Witt and Williams as well as have Style & Quilan. It is fair to think one of those would come half good. I agree on the prop front however.

lol I always appreciate anyone using the Bradbury reference and it works for so many things it's become apart of our culture....very funny! I think we had a problem of Bennett not looking ahead as he knew he was leaving and he was in control of everything. Sure Doust should've stepped in but who could of predicted some of the things that happend like Weyman dropping form, as well as Soward, Cooper barely playing thru injury, Gas retiring was a bit out of the blue. Smith, Boyd and Scott got poached as well as some other players. We have about 4 players from our 2010 Grandfinal side left in just 3 seasons since. Hornby shouldve been replaced and Doust did go pretty hard trying to recruit Cronk. I do wonder why we've had such a preoccupation with signing backrowers but in other positions where talent has been available I think Doust has lifted his game in regard to this year. Sure Dugan fell in our lap but its not as if Doust wasn't making a play and he had to be sure Dugan had his shit together which was all very delicate. Dugan chose Brisbane as that's where his ex and child are not because he didnt like the idea of playing with the Dragons as grew up as a Dragons supporter

We also had Drinkwater that was Manly's under 20's captain that we thought would come along but really had nothing to offer. Witt had a pretty poor game against the Rorters but thats what happens to halfs when a team is camped in their own half all game. Williams has loads of potential and I still havent given up on Quinlan though the only way he can develop is playing in the halfs and that wont happen unless injury dictates it. We have all talked of Props and we really are only missing one. Stockwell and JDB will improve as the year goes on. I like JDB's attitude of late, he is showing no fear in attack or defense no matter who the opposition are. Even though Merrin is lock he still plays tight like a prop. Dan Hunt has had a lot of injury and was probably expected to come back stronger than he has. Frizell was sensational at prop before his injury so hopefully he can regain that form. If anyone has read my posts they would know my opinion is we are losing the game in the wrestle in the ruck and our forwards arent as bad as what they seem

I hope our club does sign Proctor simply to see the RedV banners welcome " THE PROCTOLOGIST " a very handy player.

Usually a proctologist is very good with their hands.

But can he find holes in defence?
