New recruits for 2023

[St Tangles]

Northern Pride confirmed that Nick Lui-Toso has signed with the Dragons. Maybe a NSW Cup deal?

Cowboys to Penrith to Northern Pride then us

I saw that and I thought he may be a youngster with potential. But, I see he's 26 years old. Lord help us if that is the best we can get.

 

[dragon thomo]

Our club is pitiful.
We are the laughing stock of the comp.

 

[Inisai Toga]

Has anyone seen him play for the Panthers, Pride or Cowboys…?

No!

I'm sure everybody had to google him just as I'm sure you did.

Shouldn't that tell you everything you need to know about him and the kind of signing he is?

Looks like a hard running prop.

Apparently QLD Cup Prop of the year. Averaged 150m per game and over 1100 PCMs. Did pre-season with the Cowboys.

Looks a sounds ok
Thanks for doin the research on him

If we are going to sign a couple of top forwards we will need to backfill with juniors with potential and a few cheap forwards. So maybe this is a good sign.

Cant believe the Dolphins didnt snare him , but Wayne and Co have been distracted still trying to sign that elusive marquee super star

 

[Dragonslayer]

Probably a T & T contract to start.

He played for Penrith when Hook was there in ‘18…really aggressive the few times I saw him.

Dolphins have a few really good middles on T&T from CQ Capras . Dolphins have a really long reach up here and secured some great kids

 

[qld redvee]

from the clip he at least hits the line hard . MUST be a better option than woods . I read on a report that we were the only club to pretty well promise a top 30 spot and a nrl shot thats why he joined us . apparantly a few teams were after him . We have lost Alvaro .. Faamausili , then who knows with burgess and the talk of Kerr so at least he has size and experience ..
Now we just have to hope our coaching staff can "improve" him and not dumb him down to a plodder

 

[getsmarty]

Your right getsmarty , they are certainly lacking on real skills and your reference to Rulon the Butcher is a prime example of that .

I do recall him playing in the Charity Shield in what I believe was his debut match for the Dragons . He didn’t do anything outstanding , but to me at least he held his own .

From then on it was all downhill which was a pity as we did - and still do require a big tough bod to give our pack some respect .

Good to see your occasional post my friend , miss your input .

Thank you @Gareth67 .

Unfortunately the club and the way the game is run has got me to a point where I just don't care that much anymore. The club is on a downward spiral....

“That’s a mess”: Kings owner not interested in buying Dragons

Paul Smith has brushed off the suggestion of buying the St George Illawarra Dragons.

The game in general is no longer the spectacle it used to be.
What an embarrassing finals series....if that's the product the NRL want to push, they can keep it.

 

[SnowDragon]

Thanks for the vid. The way he drops his head… we’ll we could get some opponents sent off

Another Hook lovechild, then.
I remember when I first coached senior mens football (round ball) after coaching youth level for a few years. I took 3 of my youth players with me to the new club and the resentment towards them was palpable. And they were handy players, too. I brought them for the opportunity to play at a higher level, in a strong comp but it didn't do me any favours with a pretty cliquey squad.
I'd never do it again.
Maybe Hook should consider not doing it again. Especially since the whole McGuire, McCullough, Hunt thing has worked soooo well...
