The Rumours Thread

[Old Timer]

It was well reported that Flanno gave Lomax a nudge saying he was free to look elsewhere if he wanted out or come on his bus. This was about Lomax not the halves

So drunken bum Buzz reported it but somehow forgot to tell Flanagan so maybe best Flanagan tell you so you don't quote bullshit from Buzz.

Have a listen.

EXCLUSIVE | Shane Flanagan denies Zac Lomax is free to leave the Dragons

Incoming St George Illawarra Coach Shane Flanagan has denied centre Zac Lomax has been offered the chance to find a new club. It comes amid reports in The Telegraph on Saturday night, that Lomax has informally been given the opportunity to leave the Red V. Flanagan, a member of The Continuous...

Check out our wonderful Dragons website. It's mid-season and there are still only blank silhouette figures for our KOE players.

Yeh. Also the thing that pisses me off big time is the lack of player stats , that and gen info such as physical attributes. Went looking at what the Couchman boys tip the scales, zilch.

after last nights effort and knowing there is little chance sullivan will play i would play mbye or anybody else in the halfback spot, and drop hunt to 14 at best.

We all want that but try convincing our FO and incoming coach who plans a little chat with the sook, no doubt to talk him into staying. Seems regardless who we have as coach, some of their decisions will piss off us fans big time.

Just like everything else. The word "PROUD" is not part of their vocabulary.

Matty Rogers made comment about the two joint venture clubs and he said some home truths about both clubs.

''There’s obviously something that is happening, behind closed doors at executive management level that just has the inability for (the Dragons and Tigers) to run smoothly.''

Spot on Mat Rogers, been saying the same. These joint ventures are like being married to two women, one your bitter ex and one your current loving wife.

Except the current wife is now also bitter

No more likely that neither wants to put in!!

I think we need to hold back on the short-term Amone praise until we see how he goes without a genuine halfback.

Sullivan potentially being out for the season, really puts a lot more emphasis on Hunt showing up to play 7 for the rest of the year.... the big moment will be, who gets to play on the right? If Amone is the future.. I think its time he got his preferred side, Hunt isnt even running the ball anymore anyway.

The only other option is MBye..

And Doust is the ex mother in law

 

[AyiosYiorgos]

Amone is facing upto 5 years jail. I don’t think he will just get a slap on the wrist.

I do, said when it happened he wont see gaol time, he may get some sort of good behaviour bond.

Mate, I've been married to the same lady for 36 years and still have never won a debate.

Flanno can't go to hard.

The players have been under Hook for two years and let's face it, it hasn't gone well. They are playing better footy with the some changes but you can't flog a dead horse and it's near the end of the season.

The only game they should win is the Tigers with anything else a bonus however, next year is a different story.

The players are in for a big shock. In the off season the new fitness staff will tourn them into FIT NRL players.

Ravalawa re-signed apparently to 2026

Has there been any chat about the actual extent of Sullivans injury ? I haven't seen anything .

 

[Desperate Dragon]

Further to Rava extending to 2026, Fox Sports are also reporting M Molo and JDB have both activated their options for 2024.
The article also mentioned Dylan Egan and Hamish Stewart have both been extended with a view to them both joining the top 30 squad sometime in the future.
No specific contract details or time frames for either player to be elevated to the top 30 were mentioned.

That would require effort on behalf of the club so don’t hold your breath.

I think the common denominator here is having a shit coach, none of this ever happened when Bennett was there, he knew what to do and put the right people in the right places, including players and that is what I'm hoping Flannagan will do or has started doing, just give him time.

You can't get most KOE player's DOB either, regardless of club. I don't understand that because then it helps to recognise who's a journeyman and who's actually a young gun. Also with KOE cup to know each player stats you have to go match by match... It's such a pain.

 

[BLM01]

My understanding is that report was later denied by Flanno

What has been denied that he wanted or will be leaving, not that he has not spoken to him or did not ask him to shape up or ship out. He wants him and Zac wants to say. It is up to Zac
