New recruits for 2023

[justadragon]

It would have to be Kerr, he is getting the same treatment as Jetski and Burgess.

Regardless of who it is, if the Dragons wanted to retain him then they would just deny the release. or is this player off contract ??

What if I told you the player was Sharon Woods who wanted a release, would you bag the club or congratulate them? How would you feel if we denied the release, would you bag the club or congratulate them? No inside knowledge from me, just a hope that we see the back of Woods.

If the other props are doing well, Woods will bide his time in reserve grade. Prop rotation:

Molo
Musgrave
De Belin
Lawrie

Illawarra owed WIN Corp and Gordons millions and so, the sale of their shares was the only way the Gordons were going to get any satisfaction. The deal avoided a bankruptcy situation for Illawarra and cost SGI about 5m as it was that much short of the top bidder.

However, you can be sure that some at St George also benefited. Young was later given the Chairmanship and Peter Doust was made a member of the Board.

OMG 5 million short of the mark. The day that the Dragons sold their soul. I think all we can hope for is one day we can build back up and be attractive enough for someone who loves the club with $$ to buy us. I'll hold onto that hope.

100% agreed Macca

Wasn't the second year in Wood's favour if he played a certain number of games (which he did)?

Wouldn't he just say I'm taking up the option and will move on?

Maybe Benji has made him a post career offer he can’t refuse.

He took up the option, here's hoping he has had second thoughts, or even a 2 year offer elsewhere.

We need to try something different. Griffin is not the answer, get in another head coach.

Totally agree Possm- if Griffin is the answer, we're asking the wrong question.

This post has nothing to do with an actual new recruit for the Dragons but the point I am about to say is that Josh Jackson of the Bulldogs has announced his retirement from playing in next years comp for which he has a contract for which means having the Bulldogs finding a replacement captain for first grade. It also means that the Bulldogs will have about $500K to spend on other players and securing Matt Burton. Now not only is Jackson a good sport on and off the field he is also wise and very considerate of the club going forward.

It's a pity the likes of Woods and Macca just hanging in and using up our cap space when their money could be used for us signing up better props and edge forward, such a pity.

Dogs’ skipper’s sacrifice handed them a $500k trump card. This is how they can use it

Throw Macca and Woods in reserves and hopefully they get picked up by some club or they retire. Tigers will come sniffing around for Woods if they get injuries. As for Macca, not even the Dolphins will go for him and they are desperate for players. Says it all.

It's quite a sacrifice from Jackson. We used to have players who would do similar things for the Dragons, not sure we do any more.

i doubt there was any sacrifice made.

Yes what was the carrot to make such sacrifice.

BTW the clock is ticking down to preseason Monday week and still waiting for these more signing announcements from our beloved club to look forward to.
Is there anymore?.. of note anyway

The club did say that there would be more announcements -

"Additional signings as well as the club's 2023 train and triallists will be announced in the coming weeks, ahead of mid-November's pre-season commencement."

Likely to be rejects and journeymen and wanna bees!

True, but it's our dumb ass fault for signing them

Surely there will be some once the World Cup finishes

I dont hold any great hopes that they will be of any substance. 2023 is shaping up to be a really tough year for the club and us supporters.

Waterboy like Morris
