I have no idea what the remaining budget is now that they have resigned Lafai , however once Mann is resigned (?) you would think that ( as Coast Dragons has already said ) , the remainder would be used to sign a damn good prop forward.
Over the last few years Recruitment was guilty of signing too many over the hill 2nd -rowers . Now it seems that an extra back is to be signed , one too many , considering that we already have some very classy backs at the club .
Packer must be replaced , but only by another Prop whom will command respect from opposition forwards , and that is going to cost the Dragons some big dollars for the right man . Let's hope that they have it.
