The Rumours Thread

[Dragsters]

our top try scorer for the year was tyrell sloan. on the wing outside…Suli. wonder who set him up?

From memory I think I remember nearly falling off my chair when Suli passed it to Sloan for a try one time, that's how rare it was...

Don't know why people have this assumption about Suli. He had 8 try assists in 2025.

Add to that he spent most of the time rucking the ball out from our end of the field. He rarely got the ball in any space.

I actually thought Matt Feagai was one of our better players with the few chances he got

Suli is a quality player that hardly ever gets descent ball. Our attack nearly always goes left to Holmes side. Suli just seems to used as a battery ram. If our halves learnt to attack on both sides of the ruck we would be a far better side.

Suli had more try assists in less games than our representative halfback

WHo had more try assists than Matt Burton

I honestly don’t know what everyone’s obsession with getting rid of Suli is.
ffs. The guy may not have a last pass to his winger very often though he does some pretty hard runs and he’s quiet safe in defence..

And to say Lawson to replace him. Jeez I’m not sure I am watching the same game as you guys. Lawson in my opinion is not NRL standard.YET. I actually get scared when he’s under a highball..

Suli has become lazy and rarely sets up his winger. The Dragons need a back 3 that can qickly get us out of our red zone and need two centers who can set them up to score tries and defend out wide when the opposition are in attack.

Which Suli is very good at doing.

Shows where we are as a club when we start praising a reserve grader who has a worse defensive record than France.
Maybe rewatch our last 3 games. Feagai is like a gift to oppositions.

I think one of the new young wingers will be infront of him this year

Suli with 2 line breaks and 8 try assists in 2025. Val Holmes 9 try assist and 9 line breaks. Matt Feagai 6 line breaks and 1 try assist. Lawson 1 line break in only 4 games. So how is Suli so good with all these years experience and games this season. Of the 4 Val and Matt seem to be the more attacking threat with the most line breaks.

You cannot complain the attack is poor when there is 1 guy with 2 line breaks all year and then praise that guy that is probably the cause of the lack of attack on one side. The outside backs bread and butter should be line breaks not how many PCM they make. Leave that stat to the forwards.

By the way Sloan made 22 line breaks which is why he was probably the top scorer.

Flanno should really look this off-season to give Suli some training in the backrow as he has the body type and skill set to probably be a really good backrower. Beau Scott type player who could switch to both Centre and Backrow when needed in case of injury to a backs.

He doesn't do it for me either , compared to other players in his position .......

Suli is a big body, makes strong carries and good to bring the ball off our try line but he only runs in a straight line.
In attack and close to the try line he should be unstoppable but he doesn't have a step a fend or the ability to create something or beat his opposite number.
Has he ever contested a high ball in attack or defense ?
I like Suli but he looks more like a back rower playing centre.

 

[Dragsters]

Don't know why people have this assumption about Suli. He had 8 try assists in 2025.

Perhaps in spite of his try assists, the amount of opportunities that he bombed because he didn't pass when he should have outweighed them...

Agree, my question is why don’t we adjust our game plan accordingly..????

 

[shiloh dc]

Suli has scored 26 tries in 167 games for team and country. That's one try every 6.42 games.

I put it out there - find me another NRL backline player with over 150 games played with a higher number than that!

I thought that young Walker had recovered from his injuries? If that is indeed the case , then I would be opting for him over D.C.Evans .

I think one of them will play 6 and Savala misses out hence the speculation...
