Fair play haha should have probably specified as in halves depth outside of Hunt and Flanno we got Amone who will be gone by December , Turner who is more of a FB but won’t be there past the end of next yr and Bird who just isn’t cut out for halves anymore

Doggies have got
1. Burton

I am not ashamed to say that my eyes are now shot. I have 3% vision and 5% field tunnel in my left and no vision in my right eye. I listen to other forum members' posts using the read-aloud function in Windows.

I contracted a disease soon after being born at Buli Hospital. This disease is called pinks disease; a sporadic disease in Australia. It was carried by a lady from England who was giving birth at the same time as my mum, in the same ward. Babies had bright pink skin on their hands and feet, thus the name Pinks disease.

The remedy at the time was for the baby to be given a special medicine that over a week or so, returned the baby's skin to normal colour however, all babies who contracted the disease at Buli Hospital in June 1954 ended up with this same eye complaint which was a result of the medical treatment to return the hands and feet to normal colour.

A black background with blue text helps me write my posts and as I stated above I use read-aloud to listen to your text.

I have followed the Dragons all my life but rarely go to the game anymore as I can't see any action. At home, I have a huge TV and computer screen and you would certainly laugh out loud if you saw me with my nose right up next to the screen and moving my head around the screen trying to catch some of the action.

I have 5 kids and 5 grandkids with another on the way. On fathers day we play Beep Cricket together.

For the past 9 years I have been the President of a charity named Blind Bats Inc. https://blindbats.org/ and invented the game of Beep Cricket and yes also invented a beeping cricket ball for the game.

Although 69 years of age, I play Beep Cricket every Sunday. This is a very popular All-Ability game with players who have a variety of abilities.

Well there now, the secret is out!
well done mate, we all have our health problems, but you certainly don't let yours get the better of you, proud to call you a fellow dragon fan.

No shame in this possm. It is so much a pity that you contracted the pink disease shortly after being born and the remedy to bring your skin to a normal colour affected your eyes. Most of us on here have known about your condition and we are are used to it and it is good that you have gotten it off your chest to let us know what caused it. When I see the blue text I immediately know it's you.

Take care and keep the Beep Cricket going and let's hope that for all our sakes and health that 2024 will be a good one for us Dragons fans.

Apart from maybe Hunt, he's better than any Dragons player in any position in the past 10 years and you don't rate him ?
Big call Kit66. Luai better than any Dragons player in any position in the past 10 years. I’ll just stick with Luai’s position and say I’d take Gareth Widdop and Benji Marshall any day of the week over him. But then that’s just my opinion, you are certainly entitled to yours. Let’s just agree to disagree.

The Bulldogs are using the players they have got and those that they have recently signed as pawns. The players will become disillusioned and won't know if they will be coming or going in a years time that is the way that Gould and his henchmen will operate. They will look at who will be off contract at the end of 2025 and see who they should sign and who they should get rid of even if that player still has a contract with them. They are cut throat ruthless people - you can just tell.

Thats what baffles me , you got guys lining up to join a club and play 6th string five eighth with not even a guarantee that they will stay their whole contract

whilst we continue to struggle attracting players
That's what's very dodgy about the Dogs' dealings, especially if they do get Tracey. It's not like the players signing there don't know how many utilities are already in the squad or that they've been telling players to leave as soon as it suits them (usually after the first year of their deal). They've literally already been caught trying to rort the cap and nothing happened, the NRL just swept it under the rug. Of course they're still doing stuff like they were doing with Tino. How your major sponsor can come out and literally admit to attempting to cheat the cap because he didn't know the rules, and then the club continues on with no ramifications is absolutely baffling.

OK maybe 2017-18 Widdop and 2015 Benji. So that's two, out of how many ? I'd also have Luai holding his own against either of the guys you mentioned in the years they played for us. It's a moot point though as we'll never get Luai or anyone of his caliber, not in the foreseeable future anyway. In fact, if our Club sticks to form, we'll end up with a halves pairing of Flanno Jnr and Paul Turner.
