Blacker was also traded at the first opportunity.

And deservedly so
He never had the motor or work ethic for 1st grade but had the physique

Hows he travelling now ??
Hasnt set the world on fire

Blacker was also traded at the first opportunity.

Yep. We swapped him for Billy muthafarking Burns from the riff. Both players turned out to be duds.

 

[BLM01]

I remember he was off contract at the time, and the club hadn’t said anything. So a few people were jumping up and down wondering what was going on. Then it came out in the news that he was being accused of rape. I could be wrong though. It wouldn’t be the first time.

Maybe his defense is not up to regular 1st grade
In the NRL He is what mid 20’s now?
Just like alll the small brilliant attackers we have seen that are now playing SL. There is a dozen or so that comes to mind in recent times
Sloan has time on his side but he may end up there too if can’t get there defensively
It is such a tough position as well as halves in the NRL the way the game is played here now like it or not
It is a difficult conundrum especially attuning lower grades to go and play and get to a pro standard the way they need to.. to survive

His son was at the end of his contract. He had just been accused of rape. Meanwhile, the dragons were also dealing with DeBelin’s rape case at the same time. What did Sailor expect? The dragons did nothing wrong by not resigning him. Sailor’s lost his marbles

He wasn't charged until after he was let go.

Ah…ok…well. I guess the dragons didn’t see him as being part of their future plans. It happens to a lot of young players. Not sure what his old man is whinging about.

I believe (heard on the radio) Triston was kept a year longer than necessary so the club could help him stay in the gong till he completed his degree at the uni.
No appreciation for that from Wendel.

Its as simple as "we can't keep 'em all and we made a choice.".
It is true that we cut him loose a couple of months before his incident happened.

Glad he was cleared and wish him well.
I don't think we missed anything more than a depth player even after a few years.

Wouldn’t worry about “Big Dell” the guy is a loser

There is no doubt that top grade sport is ruthless. Clubs make decisions and that means some players are winners and others end up on the scrap heap which must be extremely tough. Others like Kyle Stanley have their careers destroyed by the unluckiest injuries.

Very disappointed with Dell's comments about the club that brought him back to the NRL and gave him a career after he finished. It's not the clubs fault that the coaches in charge at the time made these dumb decisions because they felt they had to keep Corey Norman playing at 6 even though he clearly was not putting in? Why is the beef with the club in general? How do us fans feel, we had AFB, Sailor and JDB coming though as future stars and then got caught up with off field rubbish. Saints lost 2 of them and held on to JDB who at the time was an Origin player. Dragons reacted the way the NRL wanted them to and put pressure on them to release them just like they did to Canberra when they got rid of Duggan and Carney.

I thought Tristan was a great player when he played at the Dragons and remember a game he played in FG against the chooks when he scored a nice try. He showed a lot of confidence. I think it was his 1st or 2nd game. He looked great but Mary persisted with Norman. That was all Mary not the club and Saints have got rid of him since. I was devastated Saints let him go of Tristan but they had no choice with his misdemeanors. Probably why Tristan still loves the Dragons as he is probably more mature than Dell and realises he was part to blame for leaving because of his unfortunate circumstance. I hope this kid kicks on but a shame he won't be coming back to the Dragons.

Big Dell has a big mouth
The Dragons gave him a chance after his dramas

 

[hewi]

It’s like ending a relationship with a girlfriend who wants to get married. Is there a nice way to do it, I’m afraid not.

My point being he was the other player in that flat that night.
