The Rumours Thread

Where would Duff defend?

 

[BLM01]

I'm just watching this space for our first new signing for next season

More importantly i am watching the same space waiting for ..... Ban Haran

 

[Gardenia]

Have said it many times the guy was our top try scorer , more try assists than our half , more line breaks than anyone else ....... I for one just don't know how Dufty the way the game is now can't be utilised coming of the bench when the opposition is tiring .......

There are whispers he wants to come back to Aus

 

[BLM01]

WW Fans love him. Not sure if his defense has improved. Flanno should look into that.

He did not improve that side of his game at the Dogs. He is not NRL standard especially a fullback which have a market value from $700K up to $1.1m for a average to good fullback

 

[BLM01]

I always thought Duff would be a great 5/8. There‘s an idea!

Not when you have to make 20 + odd tackles a game front on

 

[BLM01]

This is why we really need Flanno now. And why the beep did we let Sims go

Sims has hardly been sighted this year in 1st grade even when Melb had injuries. For the money he was on..correct decision

 

[shazam]

Maybe Bud is not ready for first grade. Flanno will know if he is or not

This is why we really need Flanno now. And why the beep did we let Sims go

 

[Auntie.Gerald]

Another pre season will help Junior and Bud

but I do worry they are not the real deal for us to become a top4 team

 

[JubileeJeffro]

You know we've hit rock bottom when we're suggesting we should get Dufty back.

Correct!! he was ordinary with us, ordinary with bulldogs and ordinary with Warrington. Has speed, but still can’t tackle or take a high ball.

Can’t beat speed we have Sloan after him fu@k all.

Same here I want that low life sacked.

In Flanno we trust

Hopefully Cody back next year

 

[JubileeJeffro]

Hopefully Cody back next year

Not looking promising, career likely over

SMH reporting Andrew Gray and Dan Lawson have both signed with the Dragons for 2024.
Flanagan continuing to do plenty of work behind the scenes getting his support staff in place for next season.

You honestly want Duffy & Simms back? Thank f**k we don’t get anywhere near recruitment .

We didn’t, he left, as wanted a 3-4 year deal not 2.

More to get John Morris and Josh Hannay

Just to add to this, a swap deal of Fotuaika and Sexton for Ben Hunt would be an ideal scenario. Manly’s cap has to be tight, maybe Paseka who knows Flanno could shift over to the Dragons the year after. You’re then looking at an organising half in Sexton, Sullivan at 6, and two very damaging starting front rowers for them to play off of. We desperately need to do something about that left back-row position though as well

We don't need second string players, we have plenty in our junior ranks. We need a few SOO players and now we're losing Hunt our only SOO player.

So let's play it smart for a change. Swap Hunt for either:
David Fitita (edge forward)
Valentine Holmes (fullback)

Or some other SOO champion. Then build a team around them.

For the rest of the year why not. Bit of nostalgia. Id like to see Duff run in red and white again just for a couple of games. Ahh those were the days.

Seriously Duff was one of our best try scorers. Name me someone like that we have had since.

In the post under I did take it back re Duff after talking to some WW fans I know. Shame he hasn't improved in his weak areas. He must be stubborn.

Like we have put in someone great in his place.
