Your right he will sign marquee players but it will be because he can actually put a BALANCED roster together and players will want to play under a legend of the club,this is not happening now.
He has the approval of Bennett and is the only current coach in our club who is part of the representative coaching team
Young was interim head coach after Mary was sacked. How did this turn out? He did not perform well at all and showed no capacity to coach.

Let's look at the positives:
1. We have some great juniors coming through and they are performing well in first grade. Sure we will have some dudds however, the head coach can decide to work on their skills or let them go.

2. We have plenty of cap money on hand, enough to cover current player contracts, leaving us with great capacity for next season.

3. We have some good players who just need to move to another position mainly due to not being able to play in their current position well:
Ramsey to first-grade fullback
Suli to bench to play edge forward/center
Gutherson to center
Wingers will be selected from game to gam on form
Glover or Reed to first-grade halfback
Five-eighth Atkinson or LPT

Trump still has his followers who he had pardoned via Executive Orders and freed them from jail for their part in the 6 January 2021 Insurrection of the United States Capitol Building. Those people would be Trumps loyalists forever and would do anything for him in return for his pardoning them for their crimes.

He has lost many of the people of the US but there are so many millions of people who couldn't care less what lies, cheating, job cutting, reduction in healthcare and education benefits etc he has told. They just love him no matter what the stupid, duncy people they are.

In the case of the Mole statement, I am sure that it is Dessie baby. I wouldn't be surprised if the Titans sacked him and replace him with Willie Peters who coaches Hull KR and just beat the Warrington Wolves 8-6 in the Challenge Cup.
Yes- Willie Peters outcoached Sam Burgess in the Challenge Cup and imo has usurped Sam's mantle to be the next NRL coach in waiting. I hear he is widely regarded as a very smart operator. Given his past playing connection with the Dragons, wouldn't mind if he came here actually.

While I am still on board with Flanno, increasingly the neppo issue is being raised as a conflict of interest and perception eventually becomes more important than reality. Yes- other coaches (Ivan Cleary and to a lesser extent Brad Arthur) have juggled NRL coaching while managing a son in the team but not with the baggage and years of underperforming that the Dragons have accumulated. And, of course, importantly, KF is not the best player in the world as NC is.

Jacob Halangahu was on the run home with Joel & Fletch they asked if he would consider leaving Sydney & move to Perth he wasn’t exactly jumping out of his skin to stay!

Well he has signed for another 2 years I think however we all know a contract is not worth much now days.

Willie Peter's is a good option. I'm sure the Knights or the Titans will beat us to his signature though.

Wins 1 trophy in a second grade comp and suddenly he is the ants pants? They certainly will seeing we arent even chasing him.
FMD taken him 4 weeks to put forward his suggestion to take over from Flanno & dishes up that!

To his credit at least he has answered the question his other two stooge mates need to come to the party now, i wonder what their suggestion will be?

API also said "He would live in Perth if he had to"
Halangahu is just playing it smart.
Why knock back a potential future scenario?
He'll need competing offers to ensure a worthy contract after his current 2 years.

If he's good enough & deserves the $$, we'll come to the party.

Fair enough!

All 3 are the same poster. So, technically they have made a suggestion - Willie Peters

Search 'Willie Peters nrl" click on news - sort by date
Then you'll know why it's taken 4 weeks for an answer
He's flavour of the moment in Pommie land.

Either that or they like little Willies
