[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Watching Terminator 3 on Channel 9, and whoever is playing John Conner is Jason Nightingale's doppelgänger!

Every time I read an article from James Phelps I feel like sitting him down. Does he know he is no longer writing high school essays?

 

[Dragon]

Brilliant news !

and lol @ 'Amos Roberts the ex roosters star'

Moz + Flo vs Richards and Mossy.. it could get ugly for Wigan

 

[watatank]

He's got an unconventional style which is off putting to a number of people but that's what Dragons fans love him for.

We've known it for years.

An example may be this

"the Dragons now have Origin players Matt Cooper and Darius Boyd, Bronx Goodwin and Michael Greenfield all coming off contact at the end of this season."

Congratulations to Greenfield for his origin jumper - i must have missed it :shock:

And as for Bronx - was he not a kiwi / maori player ? :sarcasm:

Can't wait for the official announcment. He deserves it.

4 years is too much

[Infarction]

Awesome news. Hopefully the start of a few more resignings happening soon.

 

[YEHHHBOYYYD]

Good news.
Love to see him see out his career with the saints.

4 years is too much

He's only 24 and showed in 2009 that he's got plenty of utility value, especially in the future. However, his best asset is he's a footballer not just an athlete like a whole host of other wingers hence why he pops up in the right place at the right time. Tigers preliminary final comes to mind.

Anyway, the length of his deal may have been for cap reasons. For instance instead of offering him 3 year deal at $660K ($220 a year) he is offered a 4 year $800K deal ($200K a year) releasing 60K over the first 3 years for someone else. 60K here and there is a fringe player giving quality depth.

By the way, the above numbers are hypothetical. In reality, after scoring a double in the GF, he's worth millions

 

[Mr Red]

how is a 4 year deal for someone who is 24 regarded as a lifetime deal that will ensure he sees out his career at the dragons.
is he planning to retire at 28 - which is the peak for most footballers??
either way - happy to see him sign!!!

 

[big pat]

you wonder about some of these journo's, anyway hope he does sign up, seems very dedicated to staying at saints, no matter who will be the coaching them.

Well put!

 

[Spartan - Dragon]

yay

 

[Daniel Dragons]

Good to see that he is happy to extend his contract, irrelevant of who is coaching.

 

[Dragon Dave]

He's a legend. The type of player that every coach needs/wants.
