On Thursday afternoon, James Graham officially departed the St George Illawarra Dragons after being granted a release.

And it seems as though Paul McGregor has set his sight on a replacement, who is one of two players that want out of their club.

Classic McGregor move. And there you have it in black and white, it's a McGregor signing (if it is even true).

The only saving grace here is that it could be on loan, one hopes so.

Who is it?

Who is it?

Jarrod Wallace

 

[Gareth67]

Considering there are not many ‘ middle ‘ flight forwards on the market at present , Jarrod Wallace could be a suitable buy for the Red V . The man certainly is no James Graham , but if he does come here with the right attitude ( to kick-start his career ) then he along with Vaughan could make a decent set of bookends for our pack .

 

[Brutalitops]

Considering the market right now, I don't know what kind of signing anyone expected to replace Graham. In fact, considering the circumstances this is a great result. Wallace has a ceiling much higher than current Graham

You can add Kevin Proctor to that recent list.

And even Cartwright to a lesser extent and Peachy

It is OK for a player to "want out" at their current club..but do they "want in" at our club.

Probably will be announced today on our website.

Hopefully, I will say forwards have tended to well with us. Vaughan was a bench player at Canberra behind Paulo and Boyd now he plays for Australia. Both Friz and Sims debuted for NSW with us. Could have just been naturally that they developed then but I think Wallace could do well with us. Admittedly I haven’t seen him play a lot though. I seldom watch the tits unless it’s vs us.

Interesting what the new coach thinks and perhaps has even had a say in this recrutment !

 

[Slippery Morris]

Wallace played for Qld 6 times I think so he can't be that bad. But for a rookie coach to not play him he must not be adapting to the new rules as he is a big bopper.

This is where Kerr needs to step up and take this opportunity with both hands and cement a spot in the starting 13 partnering Vaughn. He definitely has the potential.

He was pretty good when at the broncos providing some good go forward & energy but seems to have lost a leg since going to the Titans.

So are you saying when a certain coach gets to work with him, he will then be legless....LOL...

Sorry couldn't help myself.

That seems to be the common theme with all their signings over the last 4-5 years. Proctor, Boyd, Wallace, Peachey, Cartwright, Copley

Well if anyone can we know who

 

[_Johnsy]

Ryan James is good but riddled with injuries, Boyd was good at Canberra but I think he got lazy up there, and maybe his size doesn’t suit the modern game but Wallace I haven’t seen much of. He would probably go well for us. Not a world beater but at 28 he’s about in his prime so in all honesty I think he’d be at least like for like with Graham and probably worth a punt. I’d prefer Fifita, Saifiti or Ese’ese but can’t see any coming over.

Ese’ese is a very good chance to end up at the Titans if he leaves Newie, I know for a fact they are extremely keen & have 2.5-3 mill to spend next year.

Robbo and arguably Arthur have been successful emerging coaches although Arthur is a long way behind

Do we want a Craig Fitzgibbon to take over from a McGregor ? ie an emerging coach ?

or let McGregor be the care taker until Flanno can take over ?
