The Rumours Thread

[Coffs dragon]

What the hell does the General Manager of Football Operations actually do. This type of behaviour is unacceptable and just shows a total lack of respect by players. Sack Haran and Hook, both are useless and are just a pair of anchors.

 

[TruSaint]

Time for a team bbq i say.

 

[Gardenia]

Where'd you hear this?

I read some people were joking wouldn’t it be funny if it was a junior having words to AArom woods . Next minute that’s the rumour .
I think I’ll wait until further details are released or hear from a closer source

 

[BLM01]

I’m kinda with you here.
OK, it’s still a few weeks from their first game, let them have a few beers and blow off some steam but 6am? Really? They’re meant to be professional athletes. Game finished at what time? 630pm? I’d be giving them a midnight curfew, nothing good is coming after midnight in Mudgee.

Were they not at their team hotel
Nothing to see hear

 

[BLM01]

Nine reporting breaking News of a hotel fight between two Dragons players after the Shield game…hope it’s nothing!

Danny Weidler story. Must be a storm in a teacup
So what an argument gor heated in their own hotel
Not everyone has to be besties all the time especially if been out on the turps

 

[Miller was a legend]

How does the club expect the team to perform when it is split into two camps? I say that both Haran and Griffin should be sacked.

 

[bad boy bubby]

Ravalawa and Musgrove.

 

[denis preston]

Musgrove has form. He is part of our any dickhead recruitment policy. We really do get the dregs don’t we ?

Revealed: The Dragons players who had to be separated after 6am Mudgee argument

The argument spilled out of their room in the Winning Post Motor Inn Hotel in Mudgee, waking up teammates who intervened.

Another reason for Rava not to be picked in round 2 and as for Musgrove who has form you would think that he would be looking for a clean start. As mentioned above is a good endorsement for a no dickheads policy but when no one wants to sign for you because the club is a basket case what choice do you have. A long winter I’m afraid.

Yep bern there

Funny how media pick on rugby league players having a nightout and its bad but when Dwight Yorke played for Sydney FC he had the nickname all night Dwight and the Telecrap made him out to be a hero.

Why should Rava not be picked? Ridiculous statement cause he made a few errors.
He showed continued effort fir 80 mins trying to clean up better than some forwards

I think it is a good sign that a post mortem on the game between room mates was still happening 12 hrs later
Shows they are keen to rectify the wrongs

Rava is not a first grade winger it’s as simple as that IMO. He makes mistakes in every game and is suspect and targeted because of his weakness under the high ball.

 

[twinkletoes]

Same could be said of Lomax… full of errors and I don’t think in all the time he’s played first grade I’ve never seen him make a clean break into open space… I wouldn’t know if he has speed or not

Agree and the media coverage is getting beyond petty and just like a woman’s day gossip magazine
Probably cause 99% of the game and players are sterilised that much to the outside world to appease everyone that they are desperate to fill the mag

You are still living in 2020 with that statement
I did not hear you say that a year ago after he scored a few tries against the Warriors
yes he can drop a chance but boy he gets some awful passes from his inside men

besides who is the 1st grade winger ready to replace and is better than him that we have?

 

[Dragon David]

It really is frustrating when I read of signings whether they are rumoured or actual. In the case of the Dragons, rumoured signings linger on and in most cases do not come to fruition particularly anyone of significance and if a rumour does actually happen, the player is generally one who is an in between KOE Cup and first grade level.

Now when you see a club like the Roosters go for a player, they know how to get their man.

The winger now at the Knights, Dominic Young, has been rumoured to be chased by the Roosters, Titans, Dolphins and of course the Knights wanting to retain him after this year.

The Roosters are in the box seat and Young has more or less told the Knights that he is leaving them and sign up with the Politis run club and has also knocked back a good offer from the Titans of $500K per year - mainly for the reason that the Roosters offer was better because of their reputation and premiership chances.

The Roosters have this way of "romancing" the proposed signee by "rolling out the red carpet and having dinner with Trent Robinson at his home".

The only red thing we seem to have is the Red V as I don't think we have such a thing as red carpet in the Wollongong and Kogarah establishments and of course to "romance" the proposed signee at dinner would be at the old Taj building in the company of Ben Haran and Anthony Griffin eating fish and chips.

What chances do we have of getting a marquee player? As a joint venture entity our reputation for premiership winning chances has been very poor in the last decade and we know why. The marquee players manager know this and our negotiators get knocked back on the fish and chips dinner offer.

The bloody Roosters hey! I'm over them but they know how to achieve success.

"YOUNG DROPS BOMBSHELL ON KNIGHTS

In-demand winger Dominic Young has reportedly informed the Knights that he will join the Roosters next season.

It means the Titans and Dolphins have also missed out on the 21-year-old’s signature.


According to News Corp, the Titans were willing to offer Young over $500,000 a season but it couldn’t compare to the Roosters’ reputation and premiership chances.

The Roosters rolled out the red carpet in their chase for Young, which included dinner with coach Trent Robinson at his home.

News Corp reports Young held talks with his manager, Michael Cincotta, on Monday night to settle on his future.

The towering winger became one of the hottest prospects on the market for 2024 after a breakout season for the Knights and solid World Cup campaign for England.

Young will join a star-studded Roosters backline next season made up of James Tedesco, Joseph Manu, Daniel Tupou and Joseph Suaalii — depending on whether the latter takes up his option for 2024."

I am probably just being my usual cynical self, but I suspect Dom will sign with the Roosters for $300,000 a year with no mention of a sponsor supplying a new BMW every year or the lifetime rent free penthouse apartment overlooking Bondi Beach!
