The Rumours Thread

[Dragon David]

Mind you they did try to get Bellamy and Bennett during those years..., when you miss out on the "Big fish" they settle for fish bait...

Anybody can see the obvious distance between Bellamy and Bennett and what they have persevered with. I don't buy the statement that they they were the best available choices....absolute nonsense....

During that time they could have looked at....Hasler/Maguire/Wane/Holbrook/JD/O'Brien/toovey/T.Smith....the list of candidates are there....There is more to it....I will leave it at that.

Agreed!

Please reveal what you think ( or know ? )

My take on this is a combination of mateship between Gordon & Mary and Gordon convincing the board that baldy was worth another contract ( look what the side did to the Broncos in the semi ! ) , saving face from the board in not flicking him as well as not really in a position to lose that money that goes with that, and St George's side of the JV caring more about how the Leagues club is going ( which WAS good ) than fighting the issue.

Bruce Gordon’s wealth is $728 million
Pay Monkey it’s peanuts

connor watson
off contract
23yrs of age
is he the next Damien Cook ?
move to hooker off the bench and extend his minutes

And what about the club captain and arguably our best player?

Good thinking and worth a try for ANOTHER club. We have a lot of issues but hooker is not one of them !

Plus Billy Brittain goes ok also.

Ok, so passing this on.
Rumour from JA is that Vaughan is the next to want out.

If players start to want out, what does it take for the club board to sack the person causing this uproar?
They say, love is blind but seriously, this is ridiculous.

His contract finishes at the end of 2021. Depending on who the coach will be going forward, we could lose him and others but I hope not.

Of course he does

Yep so Flanno is likely the problem after a review. They will decide he has to go.

So cynical- but unfortunately so right- Gould to do the review seeing his first was so successful?

All our ageing forwards will go including De Belin, Frizell, Graham and Vaughan and maybe the Sims brothers. We need to develop and encourage our younger players such as Blacker, Brittain, Ford, Fuimaono, Gale, Host, Kerr, Lawrie, Mc Innes, etc. The current young forwards remind me of Bath's Babes from 1977-79.
