I wouldn’t waste the cash on Gutho & Fox. We need 2 decent props & a halfback & not an old King & a Flog!
If it was from Carayannis, Chammas or even Buzz, there could possibly be some substance to it.Hooper on 360 has pretty confidently linked us to Clint Gutherson for 2026 potentially 2025
Also linked us to The Fox aswell
And what position would he play? Would Flanagan or LKT have to move? Or Sloane? Makes more problems than it solves as long as Hunt is still here.Why would anyone want the Fox? Done for drugs and driving while under the influence of said drugs, lied to management about it, and made fools of the people who stood up for him. All trust now is gone. For that matter, why would we want Gutho? A very good player but his best years are behind him and he's running on old legs. He's got nothing to prove so he won't be motivated to play well for us. Like buying an old second hand car, we'd be taking on someone else's problems.
Couldn't agree more. Hynes gets criticised for not performing in the big games.You know what shits me off, the fact that the media is saying that if Hunt leaves we lose our marquee man, FFS he hasnt been a marquee man since he got to the Dragons. Marquee men stand up when they are needed, lead when they need to lead, spill blood for the team when they need to. Does this bear any resemblance to I have asked for a release when I'm playing SOO, I cant manage a game, I go missing when the team needs my leadership, I'm clueless about what I have to do on the field at certain times, my behaviour as captain is deplorable. If Hunt is as bad as it gets, then end this saga, f$#k him off and put LKT and Glover in the halves, Flanno jr back to 14, Cook and Liddle can rotate between lock and hooker. For christ sake lets just put an end to this. If this mess is around for much longer it will impact on our preseason badly, piss him off and lets get on with it !!!
Not just the Dragons. he gets most of his guesses wrong. I suppose he has to say something when they go to him for "what are your scoops hoops". It could be his paid sources just tell him anything he is that gullibleIf it was from Carayannis, Chammas or even Buzz, there could possibly be some substance to it.
Hooper's record of successfully linking any players to the Dragons has an extremely low percentage rate of being on the money.
If that’s the case they are arseholes . They should man up and be honest ( and pay freight) not disrespect him like that making life hard so he leaves. Look what you signed up with Lomax. An Arsehole club.I thought Hoops was full of sh** the first time he mentioned us and Gutho (its a safe bet whenever he opens his mouth), but for once I think it was accurate.. and Flanno has approached Gutho previously...
Tonight though.. its multiple journos reading between the lines.. i.e. that Parra do want him gone (note that he is aligned to Brad Arthur also), I think they said hes on 925k.. noting that he will be stripped of the captaincy and asked to play in the forwards, none of which suit him.. nor would you pay a benchie those dollars.
So the theory is that this is a strategic play.. to ensure Gutho is the one who asks for the release, which avoids incoming rage about dumping a fan favourite..... and also avoids them being left to pay any freight, which we otherwise would 100% have asked for.... its a ballsy play if they are right.. but I think it checks out.
I agree re JAC.Why would anyone want the Fox? Done for drugs and driving while under the influence of said drugs, lied to management about it, and made fools of the people who stood up for him. All trust now is gone. For that matter, why would we want Gutho? A very good player but his best years are behind him and he's running on old legs. He's got nothing to prove so he won't be motivated to play well for us. Like buying an old second hand car, we'd be taking on someone else's problems.
Absolutely we don’t need or want either of those TwoHynes and Fox geez im glad flanno is picking the squad. 2 players we definately dont need
Can I send a letter to Santa?Rumblings around Cobbo, now there is a target.
I agree Rev but honestly for number 2 to happen I think I’d need my fairy god mother to wave her magic wand.Literally 'Noone' is available.. no good players are left off-contract to be signed up at short-notice, particularly spine members.. let alone halfbacks.
There are 3 scenarios:
1) We need a trade to take place (where Hunt + the other player + both clubs agree to it)
2) We need to agitate someone like an Atkinson to request permission to leave early (and have it granted)
3) We keep hunt for 1 more season
Don’t like the removal of all Dragons staff from Carlton!Saw this comment on Dragons Army has anyone heard anything as such or can the person who wrote it elaborate more if you are on here?
The new Era they keep talking about is almost here. The one with no mention of St George or Illawarra.
• Alan Lancaster is pretty busy on the board at Nine (and playing in Status Quo)
• i98 has some real competition from Wave
• A succession tussle between Genevieve and Andrew Gordon
• The removal of all Dragons staff from Carlton
• New jumper sponsor/s (Crystal Bears and Illawarra Credit Union)
• The Gordon Legacy Building project in the CBD
• Mike Sneesby stepping down at Nine. Lancaster could replace him.
Watch this space.
saw our facilities ?Why did he do a fitness test with us and then disappear off our radar?
Me too . I always have hated them since the Mortimer Brothers days.Oh, did I say that I hate the Bulldogs. I despise them and thank goodness I won't be seeing them again this year. The lying bastards.
He will probably say that his coffee was laced with the cocaine that he knew nothing about and that is why he thought that he didn't have drugs in his system when he was pulled over to be tested and that is why he paid the fine and agreed to lose his licence for 3 months to let people see that he was doing the right thing. A screw apparently got loose in his cog wheels of his brain and left him dumbfounded and puzzled.Both JAC and Mitchell think they are well and truly above the game, to make these guys role models to indigenous kids is a disgrace, players like Blacklock and Walford, now you are talking about proper role models, even on his day Mundine would have been way better. Those 2 really need to have a good hard look at themselves and really see what damage they have done, its all about themselves first, when you fail a drug test twice and still profess your innocence, you are not really the sharpest tool in the shed are you.
The worst option3) We keep hunt for 1 more season
