Dragons update reporting Bud and Sua both gone for the season.

Sh$t

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

Yes dreading the same. I say Junior should pinch first receiver at every chance and show Hunt how improved his ball in hand skills are. Rub the sooks nose in it and send a message that he is no longer wanted or needed.

Music to my ears. Injury? Should be dropped to Ressies then delisted at season end..

Ravalawa re-signed apparently to 2026

Heard this was on the cards. If Lomax goes to fullback who is going to set up all Ravas tries. Seriously Rava is convicted with doing the same as Matt Feagai, leaving his wing exposed, not as habitually as his wing mate.
PLEASE DONT DONT EXTEND FEAGAI.

Heard Payne Haas will be on the open market November 1st. I know he won’t come cheap but geez he’s look good in red and white. I’d be happy with a straight swap for sooky boy!

 

[baggygreen man]

JDB activated option for 2024.

Jack did weeks ago I read. Like to see him extend further. The human machine is so valuable to us..

True. But it's been so consistent on both sides of the field for so long I can only imagine that they are coached to do it. I think there's some other element of the defensive pattern that is probably coached but is never present.
Watching the NSW defense last night - a completely different pattern - almost 'swarming' out to the edges. I think it's probably a team fitness issue with StGI - the inside defence is so easily burnt and there's no cover defence. We're just too slow and soft. The result is that the edges are constantly, easily exposed and it becomes progressively worse as the game goes on. We're also glaringly, maddeningly hideous at piss-weak jersey-grabbing - and even when we do make contact, we don't have the strength to hang on - all symptomatic of being relatively unfit and easily tired.

If Saints can land Payne Haas, it will make up for years of poor recruitment. The guy is an animal. I would love to have him in the red V. What a perfect start to the Flanno era that would be.

I am sure Dogs will be finding a way to land him though unless the Roosters go for him which I already think they have in the past.

Seems like a few decent forwards are now testing the market which is good news for clubs with salary cap and roster space.

I'd be interested in what Manly are allowing Flanagan to do between now and the end of the season, as he's still contracted to their club. Obviously they've allowed him to speak to the Dragons squad. I wonder whether he's been allowed to speak with prospective signings from other clubs. If not, it could make it hard for him to convince these top players to come to our club.

Haas apparently is all about the premiership windows.. its not us.. but maybe itll make getting Tino easier, as 1 less club will be in competition.... but if we are going to pay overs.. I rly want a forward whos captain material.. we can justify that.

Yes, with the Hunt fiasco "not" talking to teams when he's under contract, they are coming out of the woodwork, it seems there are more questions than answers and not a squeak from the NRL. All I can hope for is will even out the competition.

If the dogs are offering equity in pubs why don't we offer Haas and Tino a TV channel each?

Give them 50% each in the Taj Mahal.

Unfortunately this was already given to McCullogh and Mbye to get their signing over the line.

OK. Re-employ Macca and swap him and Mbye, plus the Taj Mahal, for Hass and Tino. Gus‘d do it!

Knee injury apparently

Yes, they could host their own NRL 180 show and invite forum members in as guests….; should be interesting….
