Dragons preparing bid for unwanted Warriors back-rower
The 25-year-old has been let go by the New Zealand club, but the Red V could benefit.www.zerotackle.com
The St George Illawarra Dragons are on the verge of securing their first new recruit for the 2023 campaign, with reports the Red V are preparing to make an offer to unwanted Warriors back-rower Jack Murchie.
The 25-year-old was not offered a new contract by the New Zealand club for the 2023 season despite impressing in his limited opportunities, thanks largely to the Warriors’ recruitment securing a number of more experienced options in Marata Niukore and Mitch Barnett.
While he doesn’t match them for experience, it’s believed the Dragons view Murchie as a good option to fill the void left by the departure of senior players including Tariq Sims and Josh McGuire.
Murchie has played 40 NRL games since making his debut for the Canberra Raiders in 2018, alternating largely between the second row and as an impact player off the bench. He also represented Australia at under-23 level.

The Warriors have gone to lengths to ensure all players were aware of their contract status prior to the end of the season, and Murchie is just one of 15 players being let go prior to the arrival of new coach Andrew Webster.
While some players have already secured their future at other clubs, Murchie joins a group including Daejarn Asi, Jackson Frei and Dunamis Lui without a confirmed club for 2023.
There‘s always email and SMS.
James Graham just got the punt he'd probs tell him to stay away from the joint lol..So we are now looking at Murchie from the Warriors to bolster our forward pack for 23...?
Hearing that JOHN BATEMAN wants back in the NRL
Tough as nails and real mongrel in his game
why wouldnt we at least inquire esp as the main suitors at the moment are the Tigers

Agree Mickov but watch all the negative sarcastic responses to this ! I haven't heard of him but some on here have seen him play and all say he has upside so that's good and surely he doesn't put a big dent in our cap ?

or be signed up sequentially…
looked at going to see Saints Parra at Bankwest as i hadnt been there before and apparently a great stadium to watch inPaul Kent on 360 last night was complaining the Leichhardt Oval was charging $50 entry for the hill on Sunday. Holy hell that’s over the top!
just for interest sake, how much do we charge for Jubilee and/or Win outer ground?
I think $20 is about right but I’m out of touch. I’m old and soft nowand sit in the stand.
Saints will think about just after he signs elsewhereSo we are now looking at Murchie from the Warriors to bolster our forward pack for 23...?

They probably paid $800 as he was replacing Sims
I agree with you guys and my response wasnt meant to be sarcastic, my concern is once again we are buying a player who is a discard from another club, we have said Burns runs good lines, we thought jetski would go well, heck we even hoped for Burgess. As I said if he was purchased for KOE no problem, what has happened to our junior forwards, Coric , sherab etc. I just dont like the thought of the Dragons picking up players as reserves/backup for a couple of NRL games in an emergency and then we do a Woods, and now next year to top it off. Why didnt we have J Hunt in there for the majority of those games, he would have been way better for it now and a lot more upside than Woods.
You have every right to be concerned feel that way , because the same crap continues year after year , half the forward pack should be playing KOE , then purchase player that are better than we have ..... But the problem seems to be we paid too much for them players that Hook coached years ago , and we have a lot of dud players ..... So yep you have every right to be concerned .....
