Why would they do a medical during the season? He might do his ACL next week. Doesn't make any sense to me.

I"ve already posted that Saifiti's been ordinary for a while and not one I would have bothered with. However, there are a couple of theories around for his loss of form. First, O'Brien and POS are off with some of the senior players due to Newcastle's salary cap problems and list juggling. If so, Flanno may believe he can get the SOO level Saifiti back if he's happy at the Dragons. However, if a chronic shoulder injury is the real reason for his ordinary form, that could be a deal breaker. That's the only explanation I can come up with for the mid-season medical.
They got stung with Volkman and probably don't need the bad press again
You'll be in that fetal position for a long while I think. You might as well suck your thumb to comfort you Phantom V.
There may be an element of that DD but unfortunately, I feel most of the delay is at the other end. Players are just not attracted to coming to the Dragons and their player managers are having to convince them to come. Damien Cook talked about his love of Souths and the regrets he had in leaving. Luch was the only player I can think of who sounded overjoyed to be returning to the club.You'll be in that fetal position for a long while I think.

It seems that signings by the Dragons just take forever as if the recruitment people are the indecisive type and they like to procrastinate and ponder about the players they think the Dragons should approach. "Now do we want this guy? Will he fit in with our culture? Is the price his manager is asking too much and the term too long? Ummm, Ummmm, Ummm. Gee let us think about it. Ummmm, Ummm". "Oh yes, lets go for it. Wait, he just signed with the Bulldogs. How does Gus do it? How can he get the guy signed that quickly when we were thinking about signing him a month ago? It isn't fair. Well that's it then Flanno, we tried to get your man but the Bulldogs got him on a great deal really quickly. We thought we had him. Oh well better luck next time".
Could also be a message being sent to Tallagi ..
And they still lost. As i said earlier in the week. Someone said the orange bib was for injured players which is true and he was wearing it early in the week which was true.
Lenny you had me going for a moment too... im still waiting for my marquee.
Well, I guess that made your day!?
He wont get the scoop
Ask Saifiti the question. If he says he is medically fit, then produce a contract with thee appropriate clause. If he does not want to declare his fit, then forget it.
Surely this is to do with the negotiation with the Knights about how much of his salary they pick up?
We'll get linked with every available prop I reckon.
