The Rumours Thread

[Warabrook saint]

Not sure about that, certain sections of media questioning Dragons from resigning Mary, player/ team split, and I’m sure our CEO and board approach of ‘head in the sand’ has shown a spotlight on the admin back office as well.

I hope you are right, I'd like nothing more than the untouchables to be put to the sword.......sometime soon

What I don’t get is... the media were more than happy crucify Seibold but McGregor has a 5 times better squad at the moment yet nothing ....

That's because unlike the Dragons the Broncos demand success

I agree, Hunt has been very disappointing for what he is getting paid.

No to Hunt leaving.

Yes to the rest leaving.

Great solution that is just what the NRL comp needs more Super League players. Make every team have 4 imports from there. Even better why dont we just have an NRL side over there called the English Test Team. Bennett can coach them from over there

 

[Brutalitops]

Yeah righto, let's cut 25% of our first graders in one go and then go have a look if there's any Super League players who can replace them.

A capital idea right there. You know, I don't think our club are experts at this, mind you, but the things some armchair fans think are simple fixes are absolutely hilarious sometimes.

Josh Kerr to the Warriors potentially.

Oh dear i hope not. I think he has something to offer us for at least another modest-medium contract

Correct...I alluded to this ages ago...Someone else will give him a spot in the starting 17....He will not be the last....Watch this space........................

I would not include Hunt as he tries hard and will come good. The other 3 if they were sold Saints will be lucky to make 600k.

Correct....A Decent coach could fix most of our issues....That's it in a nutshell.

This, and hell you only have to go back a month to see games where Hunt was a regular in 3 2 1 threads, even in losing teams. Origin took a lot out of him, his work there was relentless

What a load of codswallop
Hunt is a shell shock and will always be one.
No one else who played origin is offering up your excuse for a player

We're looking for size to add to our pack. He's definitely one on our radar.

What's the word on him? Hard to tell watching minimal minutes playing Maryball.

From the outside looking in it appears Ben Hunt is extremely sensitive and mentally fragile. He makes errors that the top tier players in the comp don't make. He is obviously a very talented player but he will never be a strong halfback that will lead a team around.
BUT, we have him for the next few years so we need to get the best out of him and that will mean a new coach and mentor asap.

No one else played out of position ( hooker ) and had to adjust to making a cr%pload of tackles in origin....and no one else is coached by our Maestro............just to add the cherry on top of the cake..............

Just in reply to the last few posts about Benny Hunt , he is indeed a talented player whom also possesses a good to great kicking game on his day . The man will take the line on , all in all he does have the ability to be a key member of the Dragons , but most unfortunately there are times when he seems to lose confidence and as a result his game deteriorates accordingly.

There is one common denominator in the equation that affects not only Benny , but also for most Dragons players and it will be there for another 2 seasons . A decent coach will bring out the best in Ben and the rest of the boys , one that will have them playing as a cohesive unit , however we are stuck in this situation until someone better is able to take the reins and guide the team to where it’s true potential can be fulfilled .
