Tom Dearden is going to drag out contract negotiations well into the season according to Courier Mail. Cowboys offer sits at around 650k a season, Dragons at about 850k. His manager basically saying there is no rush because his value won't diminish, but his main motivation won't necessarily be money. So that tells me we need to make some decent signings to indicate he will be happy here, plus a bonus of 200k extra a season.
Tom Eisenhuth also still on the radar. Penrith's top 30 is full, but he's trying to get a "second tier" deal done with them, and if nothing can be done then Dragons are the next option. Pretty telling that he'd rather a supplementary or T&T deal at Penrith rather than a top 30 deal at the Dragons. Maybe we're only offering him 1 year and Penrith have a two year deal or something.
