[ALSGI]

Nathan Brown from the Eels is available.

Yes, just saw this on news.
Now there’s a purchase worth chasing - not a busted 31yo

I said we should chase him a while ago and mostly had negative feedback.
“Fake tough guy”
“Lays down and milks penalties”
etc etc.
I’m with you ALSGI, we should definitely go for him!

Maybe or maybe Hook is just building his team?

Perhaps our Uncle Bruce is finally splashing the cash around , the same as the rorters Uncle Nick does ?

And the improved form of some of our incumbents may well persist
.... with pressure on their positions from the apparent shopping spree underway.

Not saying he’d be a bad signing but do we need another prop? I’m liking Fuimaono’s mobility at Lock & our prop rotation with Alvaro & Faamausili is looking good. I suppose Merrin is unlikely to be retained but perhaps we should be saving our pennies for a gun 2nd rower like Crichton or Capewell??

I like Brown, tough and very competitive. He'd be a great addition to the team for 2022.
I\d still be happy to see Fifita with us for the rest of this year though.

The problem with Brown is whilst you have all the effort and potentially mongrel he tends to do things on his own and probably in Parramatta’s mind sometimes outside their plans and structures.

Your certainly right about that Ghostrider , ever so right . I believe that those sods wouldn’t even spend the money on some nice shiny nails for the Dragons coffin if the joint venture ever went under .

The purse strings resemble a poker machine, the profits only go one way. To make money for the club owner.
An island in the Bahamas aren’t cheap to run, especially a landing strip for the board members to come in for some R & R. It’s not all beer & skittles you know!

Capewell certainly won the day for the Panthers.

Go Dragons
Cody for a double!

We should now be focusing on players like Nathan Brown who are representative level players and will help push the Dragons closer to the top tier clubs.

After watching last night's game I hope we don't sign Billy Magolious complete imposter.

Cronulla picked up a number injuries last night so I wonder if the Fifita rumour might go away now

Strong rumour on Friday that the deal was done. Not saying it's fact but who knows. He played for the Jets yesterday.

Agreed -

 

[Maddragon99]

Agreed -

I think when we couldn’t sign him last year our interest faded. Better prospects around in 2021

 

[Blood&Bandage]

Given he is training in reserves and they are already signing other forwards. I would guess the club are planning for him not to be available to play. Ill leave that there

What is JDB going to be like if/when he gets to play???

Will there be psychological scars???

Will he be up to it???

The whole scenario is wrong from both sides. Personally, I think we should let the law deal with the issue. The club needs to move on.

As a club, we don’t need to be dragged back into the media for his poor personal choices.

The club and fans shouldn’t be associated with the behaviour. It’s a serious issue society needs to address as a wholistic approach.

 

[Maddragon99]

Well the court will decide Jack’

Well the court will decide Jack’s guilt or innocence.

If he does come back I think he’ll be ready to run through a brick walls to make up for lost time.
