Life after Barrett

[Hollywood]

I know it's very early to start speculating about next season....but I'd like to put my 2 cents worth in.

I'm no league expert, but from my observations, the plan for next season in my opinion......

As long as Head fully recovers from his chronic knee injury:
1. Greenshields
6. Hornby
7. Head

Bench: a player like Maitua.......could come on and cover lock or 5/8, and when we suffer our usual injury run, he can come into 5/8 and Hornby moves to 1/2. All in all Muitua could be good utility value for us, especially given our history of injuries.

I just don't see any better options on the market, and Greenshields is playing well enough to command regular first grade spot. I don't know if he has signed with Gold Coast for next year, haven't heard anything official, but I think the Dragons should move now for Head and Greeny, and attempt to sign Muitua at June 30.

All of this is assuming Gaz stays.

That would be my line-up.

It's always been speculated Greenshields would be going to GC. But we now have an opportunity to keep him. He's rtoo good a player to let go.

I think it's a reasonable line up for a season or two atleast. Then maybe have a crack at Benji for 5/8, not sure when his contract is up, but if we got the chance, keep the money we have from Barrett and perhaps fill Benji's pockets with it.

Imagine Head/Benji combo with Coops, Gaz & Greenshields outside them....almost unstoppable i'd think.

i don't think G.C want him. They think that he may cause some problems in training

We'll never forget you, Brent Barrett

 

[Dragonwest]

Id have Craig Wing as priority 1 for the right price. he is cover for hooker, 5/8 and half. He's always looked to be in top shape and has many more a good season in him.

You got a source for that?

 

[Dakink]

I am more inclined to believe the GC are interested in him...

 

[Drew-Sta]

As am I.

 

[DB]

You got a source for that?

Help me, Jebus!!

Another suggestion: Michael Witt. He's a five-eighth, would probably be available for next year, and I know of at least one member on these forums who rates him highly. Imagine the captivating moral and psychological dilemma wittyfan would face if his boy played for the Dragons... that element alone might be enough to consider buying him. Anyway, just floating the idea.

We could end up "shooting ourselves in the foot" by doing that Godz.
What would happen if he left the "Gulls" and started supporting the Dragons.
We'd be getting a premier league 5/8 with a questionable supporter to put up with into the mix. Not worth the trouble.

 

[Ribs]

What's the go with Josh Lewis? How long is signed up at the Rorters for??

Get him back, he is behind Anasta the Great who was an automatic selection in the worst NSW Origin team ever selected.

Help me, Jebus!!

ha ha ha Jeeeeeebuuuuuuuuusssssssss!

If Hornby did move to 5/8th I don't beleive Greenshields is a long term solution to fullback. I would rather we let him go and pick up Wade Mackinnon.

Benji is stuck with the WT for another 4 years just signed at the start of this season. Having said that I think there is still a chance that you might see the Head/Marshall combination, unfortunately just not at Saints.

 

[Dragons_#1]

andrew waker!! haaha

 

[Collateral]

I like the idea of signing up either of the Witt brothers. Wouldnt mind giving Walker a match payment contract either, but he would have to show he has the right attitude.

What about Michael Monoghan? A good solid player and a good leader. Rate him highly.

 

[Southernsaint]

andrew waker!! haaha

Full circle...

I don't think he'd be right for the club, right now. Age & time out of the game would be against him too...

just for a year then that will help a young junior develop his skills in rpemmy or jersey flegg, then could step up in 08
