He was talking about Bennett and our 2010 2nd rowers (Costigan, Smith, Saffy and to a lesser extent Creagh) and how we were a bit of an anomaly in regards to having only one legitimate front rower (Weyman). Special mention to Costigan who played the game of his life in that Grand final at front row.
Oh blimey I am so envious of the Tige Pies with their fresh new slate board wise
Save yourself the heartache waiting. Highly likely that nothing is going to happen there. If it does then is a bonus.
Even Rumours will be hard pressed to let us know what is happening with signings. I don't think that the club will be giving away any hints whatsoever because they have been bitten on the backside too many times and those bites have stung them and now will keep quiet until any signings are actually official.
That is an excellent idea! I'd rather be pleasantly surprised then devastated. Also is a better look for the club.
I agree with you but my reference was to our head coaches employed by the club as our head coaches Carr did an admirable job given the situation.
With the danger, of course, that we all get antsy about nothing happening
Dare say you are being harsh here. He produces a brilliant play almost every game with the poor finishing often bringing his clever play undone. I agree we cant afford to carry any passengers, reason I want him away from the back until he has completed his exams on every aspect of fullback play at this level. I blame junior coaches for his poor defensive attitude, seems they forgot that the game was more than attack. You see this in many other players that have come thru our pathways.
We should be used to nothing happening by now. This has been the case since 2018 or so.
Hang in there. It’s not called ‘being a supporter‘ for no reason. We‘re committed through thick and thin. I believe we’re on our way back at long last.We should be used to nothing happening by now. This has been the case since 2018 or so.
It's much better for my mental health to just return to my old friend pessimism.
Anyone that says you're not a real fan has no understanding of the loyalty required to stay supporting
a team that everyone laughs at you about. I could have become a Sombrero or Wrestlers supporter but no, I have remained a loyal dark fan. Dutifully and faithfully waving my little red and white flag under my little storm cloud.
Your point 4 is a serious problem. The rest, IMO, are positives.
I know that this is a Rumours Thread but as this matter involves Hunt - who is posted on several of the other Threads anyway, unless he openly and sincerely comes out on a reputable medium to express his regret for what he had done in June 2023 by wanting out of the club because he grew disillusioned with the Dragon's front office after Griffin was sacked, he still harbours that desire and I would agree with what possm said that we will be stuck with a captain who does not want to be at the club in 2024. This will not bode well for the fortunes of the Dragons in 2024. Besides the fact that he would be disruptive to the current squad of players, it will also make signings of any marquee players for 2025 more difficult to achieve.
Back in my days of playing , I would not have played for the guy wanting out never mind being Captain , and he would have resigned himself after coming to training and coping a smack around the ears ( that's saying it mildly) and if some on here thinks that is a bit harsh , I can tell you that's how it was .......
I get what your saying, but similarly in my 45 year working career, there were many I had very little time for and a few I absolutely detested. On one such occasion, a supervisor I detested pushed me past my limit from his harassment and I laid one on him that would have got me a minimum 12 weeks from the judiciary.
I understand days and times have changed , but as the team stands now , they don't have to play for the guy and they can tell him how they feel about it ..... So be it if he wants to sook about that as well and go running to Flanno ....... Have said before if and when they lose a few games on the trot and the pressures on him , it will all start again ....... Should have been stripped of the Captaincy , like I have said before that one's on Flanno ......
