This being the case surely our coaching staff
are smart Enuff to realise we need props? Surely ?

 

[Twenty10]

Another cutters signing

What forwards do you want them to sign when the decent ones are already signed.

Have to agree. There really is sweet f**k all on the markets until 2015. Cooper and Thompson will hopefully prove to be astute buys for 2014. While not being a monster pack ala Dogs, Rabbits. It should still be able to compete.
We will have to rely on young Fullas like Bomber, Stockwell, Mez and Friz to go up another gear. Out of those 4 I can see our pair of Jacks being able to carry more weight comfortably for that extra bulk to get a roll on.

Here's hoping.

You know what they say - you can never have too many wingers. Or is that shoes.

 

[stg666]

according to wikipedia , williame has signed with us already.

We dont have any actual decent wingers in lower grades, but id probably rather be using Runciman or Farrell on the wing than anyone else.

Seems like a lot of lower grade replenishment going on.. might bare fruit longterm, I suspect that they failed with the big prop signing and this is a way of filling the cap for 2014.

"Bare fruit longterm"... Hmmm. Wouldn't mind some f**king fruit in 2014 thanks

Made his FG debut this year and picked up a few tries. We're set for first grade wingers so depth is all we need. He's ok

i think other than shit canning all these new signings we should embrace them, regardless of our personel opinions regarding recruitment and the philosophies behind them and welcome the new recruits with optimism and the hope that by coming to the dragons might be the move that makes them a better player and they have their break out year because of coming here and now their in the red and white their one of us!

Yep well said WCD.
Some great young signings, even recently have been discarded by others, and turned in quality. Easts didnt rate Jamie... 2010 ? Doesnt always happen, but its up to the rcruits to earn a spot.

PS good to see your hair in still in order

 

[Ronnie Dobbs]

Good to have depth. No big deal.

Well said - I agree

Maybe the powers that be at the club are looking at moving on some of our higher paid outside backs and replacing them with younger and less expensive players. This would save even more money for more experienced forwards.

Rong alright.

I hoope not. Morris and Nightingale are two of our best performers and are at the peak of their football careers. I say hold on to them. I think any under performers in the backs from season 2013, are not in the 2014 roster.

Dugan, Morris, Nightingale and Widdop are established top performers.
Competion for our centres and halfback position will be intense which is likely to result in a higher standard of performance in 2014.

I think we have the right mix and just can't wait to see how it all unfolds.
