The Rumours Thread

Knowing them they will wait and see.

Dont count chickens before we see how our coach goes next year with new imports, Cook, Holmes and hopefully RCG too. For mine he has not proven as yet he can lift us out of this jekyll and hyde persona we showed this season, win loss, win loss. This club needs its footy team to be consistent by regularly competing against the top teams as we long suffering fans must be given not only hope but optimism for the future.

in my view the Dragons badly need a top notch prop who can command respect and lead the way forward by his performances .

Great idea but they dont fall from the sky. While the crop of our own emerging junior big boppers are gaining cred someone like RCG will do us nicely. Just wish the BOD wud move its fat cat bum and sign him before the Eels realise they do want him after all.

These days it seems that 5 plays would be the most we can switch out of our squad. But I do believe we are on our way to putting together a good team for 2025. For me, we do need two new props and a stronger spine. In saying that we could go with the following players:

1. Tedesco
2. Allen
3. Suli
4. Holmes
5. Tuipulotu
6. Wishart
7. Flannagan
8. RCG
9. Cook
10. Thompson
11. Leilua
12. Sua
13. De Belin

14. Liddle
15. F Molo
16. T Couchman
17. R Couchman

Priorities Fitness, Speed, and Defence during the off-season, and we should be very competitive in 2025.

Of course, we need to swap out our assistant coaches starting with Dean Young. I am sure Flanno has had some time to think about this.

If Tedesco is leaving the Roosters, he would be a great pickup for us. With Hunt and a few others to move on, we should easily be able to afford the above 7 new players, and 4 of our promising juniors.

Gone 10 Players
Sloan - Tedesco
Ravalawa - Allen
Max Feagai -
Matt Feagai -
Hunt - Wishart
Lomax - Holmes
Bird - Cook
Brown -
Lawrie - RCG
BMM - Thompson
RFM -


Great top 17, and a good turnover/cleanout of players.

I'm not sure what planet you are from?

Your right baggygreen. They need to pounce straight away like they did with Holmes. Flannigan needs to visit RCG now. Not that it should be his job as the recruitment staff are useless.

Your right baggygreen.

Full sig name or RVH please @dragon thomo. Yes I think having the experience of a former Kangaroo on board for a couple of years will be good for us, specially for our emerging forwards

8. RCG
9. Cook
10. Thompson
11. Leilua
12. Sua
13. De Belin

14. Liddle
15. F Molo
16. T Couchman
17. R Couchman

That engine room and bench has far stronger look than what we used this season, but what chance of snaring both those prop imports and bringing Wishart home. Need to pay overs as Storm saying they need Wisho for their depth.

Did anyone see the new ad with Roosters players advertising eating Red Rooster
Them and Melb have a lot of fingers in the pie for paying 3rd party money through advertising.
Although Steggles are a sponsor of Roosters. Do they supply Red Rooster their chickens?
Melb had Tradie, Both Roosters & Melb betting agency advertising + some sprinkling of other higher profile
Dogs pub shares
How many Dragons players do we see get well paid in main media to do..stuff
Instead of just smaller local companies / suppliers. I am sure some of our higher profile (Lomax, Hunt?) are sponsored by big sports brands but you dont see em on TV, PAY TV billboards but we have WIN TV..go figure
Well connected clubs of course do it better. We just dont compete

As perfectly symbiotic as this sponsor sounds for the chooks, the odd part about it is that there is not a single Red Rooster store in Sydney's Eastern suburbs.

The closest being at the airport.

Odd indeed...

Following on from Buzz on 360 last night , with the words on hunt
"if an offer was made for him right now , they would let him go "
That is of course providing Flanno can arrange to bring Wishy back home
Dont be surprised if the Chooks make some discreet inquiries for BH or even Reynolds , with Sam Walker out for the next 12 months... Chooks looking to plug the gap with Keary leaving and Sandon Smith not quite ready ...
There is a real blue bubbling away at the Broncs inv the Walters family against Reynolds and others over criticism aimed at the Coach on MMM Brisbane
Add Wishy to RCG or Thompson and or Gutho and we are certainly heading in the right direction
Think about it..BH is desperate to head back to QLD but if given the opportunity to play in a possible 2025 GF it may change his thinking .
All the dominoes could fall into place here
Not as crazy as it sounds
