Lets look at the many talents of Nene
Was the other player that Graham ripped into when he gave Dufty a serve.
Had previously been spoken to by a senior player after joking around after a big loss.
The week he busted his knee was out parting in town on crutches on a Thursday night.
The whole time he was with Dragons he had a warrant for his arrest in Qld
The last 12 months
Was bottled over the head in a club, (Not his fault but you have to wonder what went on, clearly trouble follows him)
Was dropped from a pre season game for failing to turn up to training.
Was arrested and faced court over outstanding warrant.
Involved in a car crash while disqualified and left the scene of the accident.
Had his contract torn up by the Cowboys
Went on holidays and failed to appear in court, second warrant issue.
Fronts court for the second time in Nov.
Sign him up.....
So we now have a '24 carat dickhead' recruitment policy.

Rumour from JA.

We will sign another centre, who will have the ability to play 2nd row. Has had some issues but could be a very good pick up if mentored correctly as has talent.

My guess is Tyrell Fuimaono.

I think you may be on the money. I do recall that there were some pretty big rapts on him when he was coming through the grades at Souths.

Josh Dugan?


And with a bit of forethought (yes I know that requires a modicum of frontal lobe autonomy), maybe we could’ve had Bird, Dugan & Morris for 2020 - had we not had the McCharity extensions/recruitment of Turnstile, Lafai, Latimore, Maranta, Runciman, Pearson, Pereira, Ravalawa, Luke etc

Flanagan never bought longterm.

He went for topline experience to win the title ASAP.

No 5yr Gould fookups.
No journeymen or waiting for ‘the team I want’

Don’t get me started on the Brett Morris fiasco. If there was one bloke who should’ve been a one club player, it was him.

Should of been YES and it hurt me greatly to see him leave.
The facts are he left to hopefully win a comp with his brother under a decent coach instead of playing for money under amateur hour. It just didnt happen...but went to another club and achieved that. Unless Dragons paid ridiculous money he was never staying under McGregor and Co...FACT.
He was right and why do you think he did not come back in 2019 when we inquired about getting his services again towards the end of 2018 and same with his brother....The coach and CO. Not a winning formula.
They were both right again and dont blame them
