Rumoured targets 2

[Nuffy]

Based on today's Telegraph, Dan Hunt is on the outer, would be a decent pickup as a prop replacement.

Also Sam Lousi has been released by the Warriors, big unit and a prop, was a junior Kiwi so might be worth a punt, would be cheap.

At this stage I am willing to take any specialist prop because at the moment we have a total of 2.

Mataora should stay, he's not going to get a run in firsts at the broncos. Hopefully stone can convince him to stay. I see him and vaivai getting a run next year. Would also like to see Ross at fullback.

 

[Liam]

Sam Lousi would be a good pickup, especially if it gave us leverage to sign his brother Sione down the line. Two huge units.

Dan Hunt on the other hand is an absolute plodder, all the Dragons supporters I know want him gone as soon as possible.

 

[Spot On]

Only a few years ago the Dragon's forum had Dan Hunt pencilled in as their next great thing. What happened to him?

 

[Spot On]

Wonder how long we are going to be made to wait for Boyd to move on. His departure wouldn't be holding up the Mata boys contracts would it?

 

[macavity]

Dan Hunt....

 

[Yosh]

Hearing Trent Merrin's on his way out, could be gold. Also isn't that Stockwell guy decent as well?

 

[Rod]

Obviously very unlikely but Merrin is exactly what we need, he's like a better version of Cuthbo. Good running game and has an offload. He's been playing lock but could easily go back up front.

 

[perverse]

If Merrin is disgruntled and on the move, we should make a very big play at him.

 

[Whats Doing]

Hope Beau has a good friendship with Merrin. He would be sensational

Merrin must happen. He's the only decent forward that resembles a prop on the market.

 

[Joker's Wild]

Isnt Merrin close to Alex too?

 

[Spot On]

How did you blokes rate Merrin's form this season?

Yeah, very close from what I understand.

Inconsistent, but still good enough to be a huge priority for us. He's one guy that I don't think has peaked yet, and has a lot of years ahead of him. Already an origin player, and well deserved imo. Even on his off days, he's put up better-than-Willie stats. Granted he won't fire us up like Willie has a tendency to do... or moreso bring the crowd into the game. I think we'll be relying on our backs to provide the atmosphere next year, and they should be able to deliver. Even if shit goes bad for us, I still think our pack is going to be MUCH better than the previous Stone era.

I think the Sims boys will fire up the crowd. Neither of them know how to hit the line soft

This is why I am a fan of keeping willie. He may not be punching out big metres but he has that ability t fire everyone up. He has the ability to lift those around him. It doesn't matter if he only makes 80metres if he can make others around him lift by 5%.

As we all know, there is more to the game than simple stats and things that can't be measured can be just as important to a team. Even someone like beau Scott, you would look at his stats and say he's average.

 

[Yosh]

He's only 25 so got a good couple of years ahead of him. Better than anything we've got and better than other forwards on the market. An hour South of Sydney or an hour North. Same sh*t different smell no? Would love to see Merrin come here.
