Tyson had a lot of trouble with lower back as well.
It could be that but as far as I know he will be ready for the beginning of the year.
But will let you know if I find out anything

More like chronic back problems Sammy , the poor bloke . The man has carried the team on numerous occasions , just hope that it finally clears up once and for all .

By the way are the Dragons still looking around for other players , I mean good quality players ?

I have nothing to do with recruitment directly but I would say there looking for one player of quality.
But not much around in the backline.
And with klemmer gone and napa nothing in the forward at the moment.
Don't give up all hope yet but.
There is still a few around

 

[jak]

now that the roosters have let napa go they must be way under the cap,can now afford 4 or 5 shiny new players.

Correcr, apparaently 6 teams still over the cap for this year need to sort out their rosters quick smart and I believe there will be a good $$ value buy or 2 amongst all of that..heres hoping and waiting

My opinion is Taupau is over rated slightly for the $$ he commands cause the media loved him just because he bench presses and squats megakilos. His tauted as one of the best props. He looked the goods when at the Dogs and for me has not done a lot since at The Tigers or Manly
Yeh..he is a big unit and has aggression but gets lazy and takes breathers all the ttime .
I think AFB for Manly goes bettter...just my opinion. I rate Kapow towards the bottton of the Top 10 props in the game,

wrong, they still havent spent a cent of their salary cap, all players they have on their books currently are playing for free or have TPA's, nothing spent as yet on the salary cap...

Agree BLMO1 , the chap isn’t an 80 minute player , much rather have the old boy Jimmy Graham on the books than Tuapua .

It appears that they have already added Arnie to their team of trainers !

Correct Jak,

We have cap space for one or two more players.

The Rorters still have cap space for 11 more players.
Uncle Nick still has a fleet of unused new cars that are crying out for player Ambassadors.
l'm amazed that their average player costs is still only 150K a year.
With having won the comp, you'd think it would now be somewhere around 160K mark per player, cough cough

Cronk 160K over 15 years.
Tedessco 155K over 25 years
Mitchell 155K over 45 years
Friend -80K ( he's getting old and is paying to play cause he loves the Rorters ...... this is his last year but maybe not, next year is his last year paying the club to play.)
Cordner 160K over 75 years whilst captain of the SoO side.
...... and so on..................
Yep, they still have shedloads of room.
