New recruits for 2023

[OneEyedDragon]

A week into November and still nothing in regards to assembling a competitive team. You can't back up two more failed seasons by signing a couple more Tigers rejects and acting as if all is sweet.

At what point do we panic?

I think Ryan Webb said that new signings would be announced before preseason training started - so we have another week before we should officially panic!

Considering we look to be going into ‘23 with Griffin still in charge, likely McCullough playing dummy half and being at least 3-4 forwards short of a competitive pack, I guess you can start panicking now, unless you’re like me and already resigned to the fact that we will be woeful again in ‘23.

about ten years ago give or take

They’re waiting for Flanno to return from the World Cup so he can make the big announcements. Like:
I’m out of here & heading to Manly and by the way we have a gun 29 year old from the UK 2nd division in the bag

“ Oh ye of little faith ! “

I do not know if that s a quotation from the good book , but my Ethel saids it to me all the time .

Flanagan will probably come back with a few quality signings and then give Siebold a call and say that he has changed his mind. After 7 or 8 games he will become the new Dragon coach !

Stranger things have happened .

Not sure
Has been suggested on here that we have signed Paseka
If we have wouldn't they have needed to give him permission to look around as he isn't off contract?

Agree, but suggested on here or JA does not exactly fill me with confidence
But noted and I await with baited breath yay or nay

I still would like the Dragons to sign David Fifita as Sims's replacement and Hasler as Griffin's replacement prior to the start of pre-season training.

You're flogging a dead horse Possm. The team resumed training today, Griffin isn't going anywhere in the short term!

OK i think we have had that bit of information.

Hasler isn't coming. Fifita isn't coming. I'm not coming!
Plenty at training today -

Dragons players return to pre-season training

The first group of Dragons players returned to pre-season training on Monday, November 7.

Hook amongst them in the huddle at training. Plenty of the young ones ripping in with a lot of running.

 

[Inisai Toga]

Wow, some guys weren’t smiling when training; must be huge dramas in the camp!!!!!

 

[Rod Coil]

Best pre-season ever.

Depends what your expectations are?
The club are probably pretty confident that they can avoid bottom 4, that’s all that matters for them. I mean, we have Ben Hunt right?

Would be nice if they could put some names under the photos, few faces i don't recognise, its the little things that make it easier..

Well at least Sloan & Sullivan were back at training.

You can only assume that the World Cup has something to do with the lack of signing announcements. I’m not sure why it would unless we haven’t actually finalised any yet. What a joke.

They didn’t say who they were because they haven’t announced the train and trial players yet. Pretty useless media work again. Anyway, both Haele and Sione Finau were in the photos. Then players like Alex lobb, Coric and I think shereb were in there.

 

[st.phil]

Had a look… man Sloan is slim , gotta beef up kid! Maybe Lawrie could advise??

The club has announced the coaching staff for 2023 but I don't think they have selected the head of communications and media guy yet to replace Jack Brady who departed at the end of the 2022 season for a new opportunity at Ampol.

The Dragons website is still shit house so I can't wait for this new guy, whomever it could be, to get us interviews and updates once he is employed, on a regular basis.

Finding a really good media person for our clown show is probably harder than finding a good front rower who wants to play under Hook!

Also I’m sure you meant he/she/it/they remember to be woke in your posts

Honestly, good luck to the communications and media guy/gal who gets the gig...how is anyone meant to put a positive spin on the joint? Someone's about to walk into the worst job in rugby league.

How do you 'sell' a supposedly professional club which is more than happy to employ a coach they foreshadow sacking, and a club more than happy to simply go through the motions in an elite competition.
