Settle down Pete!
What if I announce the next time Mary is re-signed. Do you think that’ll mean he’s getting fired? Happy to make the announcement.

Settle down Pete!
Radio News this morning said Dragons withdrew offer not the other way around so what does that tell us apart from someone is telling porkies.

Suli staying at Manly for less in Red V blow

Rising Manly star Moses Suli is poised to recommit to the maroon and white, knocking back a lucrative Dragons offer worth around $2 million in another blow to the joint-venture's recruitment plans.
NRL.com understands Suli has told Manly he will remain at the club until the end of 2022 on an upgraded two-year extension, worth roughly $550,000 a season.
Neither the Dragons or Sea Eagles have made official comment on Suli's future, but it is understood the Manly deal is in the process of being finalised.
His re-commitment represents a serious financial sacrifice in the short-term, with the Sea Eagles' deal worth around $125,000 less a season than the Dragons three-year offer.
St George Illawarra pursued Suli hard before the COVID-19 shutdown with a deal that would have made him one of the highest-paid centres in the NRL.
But as reported by NRL.com earlier on Tuesday, mounting dramas around the Dragons and uncertainty over Paul McGregor's future played a significant part in Suli's decision.
With Suli beginning to show signs of fulfilling his lofty potential, the 21-year-old knocked back an initial four-year Manly extension, backing himself to stay at the club on a shorter contract and cash in on his next deal in two years time.
Suli has thrived under Des Hasler's coaching after being offered an NRL lifeline by predecessor Trent Barrett, who signed him on a cut-price train-and-trial contract in 2018.
Hasler has helped keep Suli's playing weight on track and as a result he bagged six tries from 22 impressive games last year.
Having already bounced through Wests Tigers and Canterbury, the security of Hasler's tutelage and bond with several Manly teammates loomed large in the Sea Eagles retention bid.
At the same time the Dragons' ongoing dramas haven't helped their cause.
Mounting pressure on McGregor and Saturday's listless loss to the Warriors, the club's 13th from their past 15 games, make for a difficult recruitment sell.
The Dragons have centres Euan Aitken and Tim Lafai both coming off-contract in 2020 and unlikely to be retained with neither able to crack a starting spot.
A strike outside back has been high on the Dragons wish list for some time, with Suli and Storm flyer Josh Addo-Carr among the club's targets.
Tyson Frizell's move to Newcastle next season also has the Red V hunting a back-row replacement after the NSW Origin and Test star said a team's premiership chances would dictate where he plays beyond 2020.

Maybe the radio news programs information whoever they got that from is telling porkies
It tells me to hope the next news I hear is Dragons Fire Mc Gregor! Lol
There’s a reason you and I support the dragons and why they rarely win.
Exactly so why have more lol Parra at least paid a bulk of his contract last season.
It tells me that the new incoming coach didn't want him.
Who are the Bennett’s?
Is this a rugby league forum or a grammar, spelling, english class? I put aside Dragonsamy's error as I think that he is not as learned as you in the english and spelling department. Not all of us have the same qualities and knowledge as you in english Muzby so give the guy a break please. Thank you!
Lol.. You need to visit the naplan thread, methinks..
A very good thread that one. Thank you for the referral. Yes, I make mistakes and I admit it but as I said, you are a learned person. I think that it would have been much better if you corrected Dragonsamy's question and answered it. Do you have an answer to give him?
Personally, I would give Mary the time of day before Samy..
He’s also physically threatened me before.
