Gutho will lead the Dragons to the bottom 4. Good riddance to the mercenary

How long until Joey his personal driver gets a gig at the Saints???

Gutho will lead the Dragons to the bottom 4. Good riddance to the mercenary

And you would'nt leave your current position for a better offer? Grow up.

Jack Williams 2024 stats are comparable to RCGs 2024 stats.

JoeO replaces RCG as starter and Jack Williams comes onto the bench.
Moretti will have a big year and is now top 30.
We have plenty of middles. Smaller faster more mobile pack.
Not like our pack was killing it last year. We had to adapt.

I suspect we may look to Matterson to play more minutes in the middle to compensate.

Matto when on is better then Hopgood who I think overated by fans.
Matto is a great lock and that's where id play him. Hopgood perhaps to front row

 

[hindy111]

He regressed quicker than a VN Commodore.

They are worth a bit of money now.

I’ve turned down promotions before. It’s not all about money.

And Gutho embarrassed himself as captain by playing out his long drawn out contract saga in the media on 2 occasions. He also said he’d play anywhere in the side if it was best for the team. That was bullshit too. f**k him.

I suppose you will also be happy if Moses and Brown leave because they got offered a bit more.

Likewise. It's about being happy also.
In Gutherson case however he struck gold. Isn't worth more then 400k on form. I hope he gets back to his best but id be suprised if he is playing NRL in 2027.

Yeah, sure you have. I suppose the extra $5 a week was'nt worth it.

The simple fact is he'd been told there was no chance of an extension and he would be banished to the bench or NSW Cup. Very shoddy by Ryles. He'd better produce in his first season or the 'pitchfork and torch brigade' will be baying for his blood before the end of the season.

Of course I won't be happy but I'm a realist. You're just a naive simpleton.

Ryles is doing what Arthur couldn’t - clearing out the poor leadership in the club.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

It's certainly possible.

 

[Avenger]

Ryles is doing what Arthur couldn’t - clearing out the poor leadership in the club.

Absolutely. He is no idiot. No matter how much we liked a player, collectively it wasn’t working. We needed a circuit breaker and you can only do it with players that are in demand. I’m hoping he will work out that Brown is not the answer either and should be moved on.

Galvin should be our main priority or Metcalfe at half the price.

I'm Matto's biggest fan, but I agree.

Hopgood tends to get fatigued, and make poor decisions.

Plus, Matto's ball-playing skill in the middle is sublime.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Ryles has figured out quickly RCG and Gutho weren't winning us a premiership

As much as they were Loyal soldiers i think the club has done extremely well to organicly move them on at the right time.

Matterson and Lane are Ryles biggest challenge with the current crop

Matto already has a niggle like seriously the bloke spends more time whinging about little niggles then playing.

All about me instead of team with Matto that's been proven time and time again.

Give Dylan one more year mate, I think if his knee holds up he is in for a big one.

Galvin looks an unbelievable talent but if you are worried about poor attitude just remember the kid did ask for an immediate release prior and halfway through last season.

He literally admitted he wanted out because he couldn’t handle losing. I understand he was only 18 but what kind of attitude is that? Surely old enough to show some respect to the team giving him a chance in the first place when realistically he probably wouldn’t have been playing first grade anywhere else. Running away from the fight was a terrible sign imo.

Plus he is destined for the forwards in the next 3-4 seasons.

Metcalfe is handy but injury prone, if he loses his speed he is in trouble.

Almost perfectly describes a couple of young eels who left in recent times.
