17- Havilli/ Mathews- depending on our opposition

Would love to see Dufty to be blooded in sometime during the year at wing. Lighting quick and could follow in the footsteps of dugan just like RTS and what souths are doing with Johnson. In the mean time Mann and Dugan can switch positions continuously during the game when in need of ball playing from the back

I think that will be our round 1 team barring injuries.

Nailed it. Would go with Havili on the bench, Rein simply cant do the full 80minutes. And would hope theres a plan to give Hutch some time off the bench in the early rounds (Crook too, if we keep him).

Crook will not be at the Dragons next year. Has been told by Mary that there is no contract for him next year. Another junior bites the dust.

Should be very close to the mark.

Anyone dropping Nightingale or playing Aitken off the bench hasn't got a clue.

Barring a big injury / suspension list there's as much chance of Joel Thompson playing in the centres as there is for Robbie Farah to join the Dragons. Izaac Thompson is a long way from NRL standard. Again, barring a big / injury list, Jason Nightingale will be on 1 wing & Euan Aitken in the centres.

Thompson and Mann give us excellent flexibility in case of injury. (as does Mata'utia I suppose)

A good backline - keep Flo on the right wing.

A much heavier and better-balanced pack - Farrah will make a big difference.

I agree with your lineup Possm but I think Farrell may get the nod ahead of Mata Utai. I think Mata Utai is better but the coaching staff seem to like him too much and prefer him to Mata. Oh well Doesn't MATA

Yes sorry for switching Flo I mean't right wing
If no Farrah then hopefully they can spend the off season getting Rein passing about a million balls with a good coach

Farrah hasn't signed thats not to hard to understand.

Ok I get it. Farrah hasn't signed so that means he is not going to sign. No announcements, no links but it's fact because there are some on here who don't want it to happen.

I believe Farrah is on holidays right now. He wants to stay at the Tigers but the Tigers don't want him. In response to being told this, he has said he will not leave the Tigers it means he won't be paid the full value of his contract over the next two years. - which includes a sizeable payment which relates to a backended deal agreed to in order to help the Tigers through a difficult time.

My belief is that:
The Tigers will pay Farrah the amount equalling the funds they back-ended.
The Tigers will sign Rein for two years.
The Tigers will release Farrah.
The Dragons will sign Farrah on a two year contract.
The Dragons will release Rein.
I'm just hoping the Dragons and Tigers can come up with a deal which will satisfy the parties concerned.

This deal would not significantly add to the Tigers or Dragons salary cap over the next two years. It should just allow for a transfer exchange between Rein and Farrah.
