New signings before deadline june 30.

[Crush]

our season has been saved.

We got another international!
Yes!

 

[TheFlash]

did we sign the wrong Kaufusi??
Cant say i have seen him play or really remember anything spectacular...

 

[Crush]

I hope not. But its the type of signing that I was talking about in the other thread.
He's 25 and played 22 games in 4yrs.
1 game this year played 12 mins ran 10m in 1 hit up, made 10 tackles and missed 2.
Lats V2
But if true, it would be trumpeted as an NRL experienced prop who has played for both Nth Qld and the Storm, he is also an International player representing Tonga.

You nailed it.

 

[qld redvee]

And a left centre and two wingers and a full back

and a coach and an assisstant coach !

Reminiscent of the classic signed Joel Caine coz they thought he was Danny Bederus fiasco...

 

[2010]

looks like another player who will fit into our CC team, another Millward coup.

 

[Coffs dragon]

I'm sure whoever is signed will be the cheapest option and in the least demand. There will be the usual BS & spin by the Fat Controller (Pathways Director) and on we'll roll with Paul the JetSki engine burning fuel & going around in circles!

FMD I literally nailed it!! Welcome aboard Pat....

Pat Kaufusi becomes the 30th player in the Dragons’ top 30 squad
Confirmed

 

[RedV Resurgence]

Has anyone seen Marion Seve from the storm? Centre, big in size Bellamy has big raps on him and Cancer has held him back. Debuted back in March against Tigers.

Would be handy to have a centre other than Laf and EA.

 

[Frank Facer]

The problem is that we need to replace JDB as close to like for like under the compensation rules set out by the NRL. For me RCG is the best option if available given that Graham is going down injured more often and our youngsters Kerr and Timm do not seem to be favoured by Mary.

I'd like to see SGI buy a right centre and prop in readiness for 2020. I feel Graham will return to ESL with Widdop. Aitken and a number of fringe players need to go so the more we expose the players we want to keep in first grade this year, the better it will be in 2020.

My preferred team for 2020 would be:
1. Lomax
2. Saab
3. Walker
4. New Recruit
5. Pearson
6. Norman
7. Flanagan
8. RCG
9. Hunt
10. Vaughan
11. T Sims
12. K Sims
13. Frizell

14. McInnes
15. Leilua
16. Lawrie
17. Kaufusi

I can't see us signing Flanagan. I read somewhere that he will be at Easts before June 30.

 

[Frank Facer]

BLM, is that the Kaufusi you would have signed?

 

[HowHigh]

Was hoping it was Felise when I saw we'd signed a Kafusi but I should have known better

 

[Dragonslayer]

Pat Kaufusi becomes the 30th player in the Dragons’ top 30 squad
Confirmed

We need 1 more as Kaufusi is JDB's "replacement" in the squad. I'm guessing, like young Sailor last year, this will be a DS player or it wouldn't suprise me at all to see the name Runciman added, given his "previous NRL and SL" experience.
The DS players become eligible to play 1st grade after June 30 in any case.

 

[JohnnoMcJohnno]

Never comfortable taking Storm rejects. They don't let many good ones go and the forwards they let go are the usually the lazy or injured ones like George Rose or Kasiano.

I suppose he can't be any worse than Rulon Nutira or Rory O'Brien as a depth signing.

Not sure on zero Tackle not that it’s always right they said Kaufusi is 30th in top 30

 

[Dragonsamy]

He is ok hope he proves to be better than I think

 

[George Dragon]

And is JDB listed

 

[Eatons Hill Dragon]

Reminiscent of the classic signed Joel Caine coz they thought he was Danny Bederus fiasco...

In hindsight we did get that one correct.
Joel Caine is a much better commentator than Danny Buderus.

 

[Michaeldragonslife25]

And is JDB listed

With his new appeal I think they want to leave him on the books

Bellyache won't release any player he rates.
