The Rumours Thread

[Young Dragon]

Averillo not coming, the keaon thing is nice and we do have a lot of draw cards, time will tell I suppose. Could be worse could be rocking up with a JetSki.

 

[Macedonian Dragon]

Will need to be way more

He apparently wants at least 900k. 1 mil should get it done. Rabbitohs can’t match that and not sure if eels can either

 

[mattw5]

Link?
I think if we get keon, sua stays

The opposite will happen i think we have heaps of young edges coming through.

 

[Auntie.Gerald]

A great result will be KK and https://www.zerotackle.com/players/tolutau-koula/ out Tongan connection is looking strong and players that a halfback would love to have outside and thru the middle

it would be much more enticing for any future negotiations also

it’s still only a 10% chance but at least we do have a lot of cap with how we are structured with seriously emerging youth

KK
Koala bear
Taulagi

wow that would be outstanding if possible even if for 2027 only for all 3

 

[Auntie.Gerald]

Keaon is very close friends with Su’A. Also friends with cook, Sele and Suli. If we offer 900k plus I think we get him. We can offer more than Rabbitohs and eels and have better future than them with our elite young players. Keaon at Dragons would be huge for our future. Get it done Anderson and Flanagan.

I think mostly it comes down to how many years and if he and his partner want to either leave family and or KK will commute ?

doesn’t Wayne have a policy of not paying over a certain amount for front rowers?l?

Hmmm
Probably years back but with such a professional level the comp is in these days going round a team is hard

Bennett has been creative with his $ allocations though in the past ……long way back that is

Weyman and Costigan in his front row and even Hornby moving to halfback
Brownie provided the big piece in the puzzle in Sowie the year before which might be our Atko?

Wow wee who would have thought
But nailed it old Bennett

Seriously if we were trying to recruit the equivalent of those 4 players now this forum would have lost their shit

times are changing but just not quick enough is probably my assessment of the cycle we are in

we want more now and fair enough !

 

[TheRev]

The Koula talk has been dead quiet for the longest time.. love to know whats going on there.. just assumed he is perhaps spoken for or is staying put or something.. the fact that we are being linked to other (imo inferior) fullbacks instead.. but still hold a little hope.

KK would be good, we will have to go silly money, but I dont know what the alternative is.. I think hes the last of the genuine props available.. and probably only for 2027..

Hey Young Dragon do you have news regarding Averillo

 

[mattw5]

Will Sele and Cook be there in 2027? Unlikely

 

[Auntie.Gerald]

Cook on the coaching staff

Sele hmmmmm needs a big year in 2026

we really haven’t seen much yet sadly

Sele in his 3rd year the Dragons willl be playing for his career u would guess hey ?

 

[saints4ever]

KK will be wanting Tino money. 1.1 million to start. Let the other teams really show they want him

 

[hewi]

So will Guler and if he doesn’t do a whole lot more than last year I’d say he will be out the door also

If Keaon is to be targeted for the purpose of replacing Su'A in 2027, then maybe. Surely, the Dragons have higher priority needs, such as a prop, fullback, and winger.

Young juniors such as Egan, Nick T and Halangahu are our backrow future. Blocking their path would only send a very poor signal to players in our pathway program.

Possum, Keaon would be for Prop

 

[Get2dachopper!]

We’re offering AFB money to Keon if we’re serious. That’s the only way we have a chance of luring him away from the bunnies.

[dragon thomo]

1.1 to 1.2 mil a year for 4-5 yrs might get him. Keon has always been a good player but has become a elite player since moving to the front row.

 

[Slippery Morris]

Keon would be a sensational pickup. The type of player that will take Saints to the next level. Offer 1.2 take it or leave it now before the Dogs or Parra go in with an offer of "650k" and he signs with them.

Parra have money to spend and would be Saints biggest threat. They have lost a few so have plenty of cash in the bank.
