RLW - Dragons closing in on Karmichael

[brokendigit]

From this week's Rugby League Week - The Mole.

"Broncos superstar Karmichael Hunt is on the cusp of signing a long-term contract with St George-Illawarra for next season. Steelers board member Sean O'Connor, who also owns a real estate business near Wollongong, is a key figure behind the deal. O'Connor has organised a beachside property in Corrimal for Hunt and his family, and I understand that's a part of the package the Dragons have offered the Maroons and Kangaroos utility."

Dragons 2010 Halves combo?
6. K. Hunt
7. J. Soward

Who will be let go so that we can free up this sort of money under the cap? Poore?

 

[Jasdragon]

We should still have some cash left from Gaz and Ryles shouldn't we?

 

[LOYAL DRAGON]

make sure we keep morris, let Sailor, stanley, hunt go.
Poor might pay theprice as well as his been offered big $$ elswere, oh well, if we get hunt it will make up for it.

 

[sting]

he's an awesome player, but do we need him? we need a 9 first!

 

[MattYg1]

Well if there is apparent interest in him, obviously Wayne has a plan and idea of what to do...

The man knows Rugby league... im willing to back any signing he ticks off.... even if he decided to bring back Paul Carriage...

 

[Dragon]

Corrimal?.... surely the northern suburbs would be more enticing.

 

[watatank]

Corrimal?.... surely the northern suburbs would be more enticing.

Or perhaps even the southern suburbs (Shellharbour way)?

 

[Cooper-Man]

ill believe it when it happens.

 

[Red Bear]

nah the southern suburbs suck
Anywhere from Woonona>north is where you wanna live down here, thirroul and austimer in particular are great spots, and my spot in woonona goes allright

if this deal was to go ahead do you guys reckon hornby may end up at hooker? there is no way he will shift boyd, so you would assume hunt would play 6.

 

[Dragon Dave]

I think IF we get him he will be a 6 for the rest of his career. I think Wayne modelled him the same way as he did with Lockyer.

I still have big wraps on Daniel Fepuleai who is playing good footy at Shellharbour. Ould love to see him get a shot this year at hooker.

thats what i think will happen.

 

[Ribs]

Id actually like to see Hornbag in the 9...... i think he adds plenty at dummy half. Whether Soward is comfortable being halfback next year though is a question.

 

[Mr Red]

"O'Connor has organised a beachside property in Corrimal for Hunt and his family, and I understand that's a part of the package the Dragons have offered the Maroons and Kangaroos utility."
are you allowed to do that ???
surely this will still have to come under the salary cap somehow otherwise everyone would be doing it...

Great player - and yes he would play at number 6.
i see us still having money left over from Ryles and Gasnier moving on....and probably some left over from when Barrett left
plus let go of dan hunt, sailor to retire, stanley to go and a few others like Lett and Emmett to make way for U20's players coming through and the money will be there.
Rumours also have us chasing Tom Leyrod Lars and/or Dave Taylor so i wonder if Bennett is prepared to let a forward or two move on?

 

[gregstar]

darius rroid on the wing.

merkin at fullback.

hello thailor retired.

 

[thommo4pm]

Corrimal may be for Hunt's family, but Karmichael himself is not buying at Corrimal.
He has purchased in a suburb closer to Kogarah.

 

[SuperSoward]

yea maybe

1. Hunt
2. Morris
3. Boyd
4. Coops
5. Nightingale/Sailor
6. Soward
7. Hornbag

Scott to backrow

Idk we will see if it happens. I'll go with whatever Wayne wants... He knows what he's doing

 

[rushndude]

He'll be coming to play in the halves (IF he comes), most likely 5/8. Wayne has big wraps on Boyd at the back, and he has also stated that Hunt would one day move into the halves up in Brisbane once Lockyer was gone.

 

[dragonfire]

Hunt comes to this club as 5/8th, if he were to indeed sign with us

 

[Jersey No 14]

Sorry boys.... No. Too much money.
I would rather have Josh Morris back.
Boyd's the fullback
Soward's the five/eighth
Hornbag's the half.
It's set and it's starting to gell.
We've just got to start making less mistakes.
I really am happy with what we've got.
We should concentrate on keeping Morris B.
and Justin... with Saffy progressing
WE are looking pretty good!
The complaints I do have, are only me have a bitch moment.

Stay strong boys - Work hardER!
