I have a feeling the clubs hands are tied and needs to fill the top 30 list and are doing so with these cheapies on purpose so they dont use up much cap space.
Likely so the next coach has the warchest needed to actually make a difference in the market.
I'm sure I read the other day $1.5 million is available already.
Wish the monkeys in charge would just say so if true.

The Dragons deliberate lack of interest in signing any player of quality keeps suggesting to me that there is some hidden agenda to sabotage the club for whatever reason.
I honestly believe that they have a salary cap issue. We had a salary cap freeze last year. The coach said the club had $1.5m in the kitty to spend but the salary cap has increased from 9.8m to 12.1m so where did the money go?

Yes but the salary cap increased from 9.8m to 12.1m so when I went to school that's a 2.3m increase but we only had 1.5m so where is the rest

I now fully understand why we cannot sign any plate of note…. In the Dragons corner we have Ben Haran:.. favourites to sign Spencer Lenin we have Nick Politis and Gus Gould, signing over the weekend Flegler and Farnworth we have Wayne Bennett…. is it any wonder we’re losing out big time on the recruitment front

That is 3 clubs. What about the other 13 apart from us. Who do they have?

Tigers have Sheens and Benji, Panthers have Cleary and until recently Ciraldo and a massive nursery, South’s have Russell Crowe… I can keep growing if you like…

We need a 2nd rower and should sign that kid that killed it tonight for the Warriors. About to come into his prime. I think his name is Jackson Ford....
Jackson did stand out in the game last night - particularly in the first half. Williame also putting in. Looks like the change for Jackson will help him and under a coach that might allow him to do his thing which he showed he had potential when with us but not given much chance to do his thing.

Dragon Dave and Chewbacca

You saw Jackson last night played great just shows everyone what coaches do to players and a fresh club does wonder. We have shit coaches.

Just saw on the 9 pregame show that Faamaasilli (sp?) went from us to the Dolphins. I hadn’t heard that. TBH I didn’t notice he was gone.
