Smart move
trying to keep Roger quiet

LOL .. RTS will teach zac that he should have stayed on the wing.

 

[I'm Hornby]

Annoying that we have yet another mooted signing playing out in the media again

Just relax and trust the super coach, he has the proven ability to land notable signings.

 

[Dragon David]

He actually played for NZ last year in their big win over Australia. Not earth shattering but a pretty good justincase pickup for that 14 spot. Flanno is obviously not big on Muhleisen and only uses Marschke if he absolutely has to. Be good to see someone nu

I hope he doesn't end up like Moses Mbye did for us.

Why did Flanno let Mbye go, just to then go and sign poo brown?

Mbye had much more NRL experience, played origin and is even more versatile by covering all the stated positions of Brown but also Fullback (where he played well for us) and Centre.
He has been killing it in super league at one of the best teams where as Brown hasn't cut the mustard and has been sent home from SUPER LEAGUE.

Dumb dumb dumb signing and clearly fraud Flanno has his favorites from past club as well.

There's no shot you're pretending Mbye is better than Brown.

 

[Auntie.Gerald]

Fair call though

brown isn’t better than Mbye………is he?

difference is $

Nu would be on peanuts and probably wasn’t our first choice but can do similar job while still allocating Mbyes $ to a better addition across the cap

You must have a very short memory or a very biased opinion about Flanno!
Mbye was absolutely useless when with us.
May have had something to do with Hook!!!

Because he's an absolute killjoy!!!!

"POO BROWN", really?
That sums up your level of maturity.

 

[Hound of Dracula]

Agree I am actually buoyant for a change with this journeyman
I liked him when at the Dogs and Tigers and thought he was quick out of dummy half and strong and what we need
Maybe his defense or passing is sus
I understand why he left Newcastle as no spot there
Keen for a back up

Always watch W/Tigers games with my son (Excepting Dragon games - I go to the shed)
F/Brown was one of his favourites
A try scoring Hooker albeit maybe not a 80 min player

Sarcastic knob end!

Why support Dragons when all you do is will us to fail?

Seriously mate - Go for another team - PLEASE

Mate , I get it, you hate Flanno, you loved Hook, nor you or me or anyone else on this forum is going to change the fact that Flanno is the current coach, it seems to me you are after some sort of justification that you are never going to get. Truth be known, i dont give a shit about Brown, Lomax, KF, Hunt or anyone else as individuals, if they have committed a discretion and paid their dues then fair enough, but collectively all these people combined represent the Dragons Club which I love and will support and have done so for over 30 years. My question to you is are you a supporter of this club ????

I believe he's a dead-set killjoy.

Hope we can land Turuva.. but feel like we are once again going in as low as possible..... 400-450k as a winger, 600k fullback.. "As a winger" its 'just' enough to make him think about leaving Penrith, around 30-80k more after tax.. but then Newcastle probably look far more appealing.

The only way we get him is if he wants to get back to being a fullback, 600k isnt great fullback money.. but I spose if hes rly killing it, we would re-negotiate later... if Edwards gets an injury.. I suspect he will get the fullback jersey and want to stay put... so lets hope that fullback draw is enough.

We don't want to miss this guy after losing Lomax, we need some quality.

 

[Crush]

If it is about the "war chest $$$$" and adding $850 k to it to entice some marquis players then the war chest $$$$ could have also been equally enhanced by keeping Lomax and letting Hunt go (he asked often enough) and that would have been IMO a far more sensible outcome all-round.

However I suspect the sad reality is that Hunt had nowhere to go and was not easily marketable where Lomax is and as funds are needed he is deemed expendable.

Lomax could very well be nothing more than collateral damage due the Hunt extension.

The worst scenario is Lomax gone war chest topped up and no significant signing for 2025 and that would be seriously criminal.

I suspect Hunt staying at 7 ensures Kyle F a position at 6 for the duration and that was influential in the decision making.

Hunt to 9 or out the door meant that the halves needed a total overhaul and no guarantees for anyone so that was never going to be in the plan.

It looks to me that Lomax and Hunt don’t get on.
Lomax asked to leave, Flanno let him go, wouldn’t you know it now Ben wants to stay on.
It was a him or me thing I reckon and Hunt was more valuable.

Penrith rumoured to have offered $350k, if we offer $450k, im sure Panthers will find an extra $50k, same as when they said to Luia we can only offer Xamount and then increased that after they learnt of the other offers, they found some extra cash but obviously not enough as it was a huge difference...

Agree, but do you think maybe his manager might have said if you go to this amount the Panthers wont be able to match it, slimy critters those managers
