The Rumours Thread

[BIG RIG]

Ben Hunt reportedly set to re - sign on 2 yr 1.8 million dollar deal

 

[baggygreen man]

The club needs to employ someone who can let people like us know what is going on at the club.

We had a media person but hearing he has been sacked. No surprise why.

1.8 million dollar

So our FO has caved in to Hunt's demands. Gutless. This has just dealt our club a huge blow to being competitive any time soon. We could've had a quality prop and an edge back rower plus even a back for what we are again forking out for this bloke. Instead we will lose a promising young half. I hope this is some scribe trying to earn a cheap headline.

Jackson Ford has signed with the New Zealand Warriors

No great loss. I thought he had potential a few years back but wasn't favoured by Hook. Good luck to the Warriors.

Ah well. Never really hit any heights playing first grade.

Was thinking the very same thing. Flannos's boy may well be an ugly duckling and will finally blossom under his old man.

Could also be a perennial ugly duckling coupled with his related ugly drake.

What!? $900k per year. Too much, holy cow! Our club as weak as. Just caves in like that!

In the Hunt deal there is a reported 100k per year third party

Exactly justa. How would we know. The club needs to employ someone who can let people like us know what is going on at the club.

I wonder how my application is going?

It's already been binned. You said you have ill-fitting dentures and one of the prerequisites is toothlessness.

Need to also fear if we lose one of Sullivan, Sloan, Amone, we risk losing all three as these guys are joined at the hip from their junior days. I call them the 'three amigos'.

May the best man win LOL. In all seriousness though, I do hope that the next media/communications person (male of female) that the club appoints is not held back in bringing news to us fans about the goings on at the club.

If they are able to give us more info on a whole range of things about players (newbies, injuries, suspensions, futures etc), coaching news, club news and so on, every say month, that would be great. At the moment, there isn't too much coming to us at all.

Yes indeed that is exactly the type of individual that the position requires . As you have said D.D. monthly would be appropriate as to news of the interest to the team’s army of fans .

 

[Gareth67]

off the meds again are we ol fela

Surprised that you haven’t thrown your hat in the ring jak me boy . With a ironclad mind such as yours , you would work wonders for that department .

How I miss Picker's weekly injury updates. Aaah! The good old days!

 

[Gareth67]

Hunt resigned - not surprising , our hierarchy don’t exactly have balls of iron .

I don’t possess one of those computer minds , however if he is being paid $1.2 mil. for next year and $900k ( according to reports ) for seasons ‘24 & ‘25 that in total equates to an average of $1 mil. per season for the next 3 years .

Excellent money indeed , the bloke will be able to afford himself a mansion at Bellevue Hill .

Nothing on the Dragons website. Please let this be a bad dream.

Who is next in line at halfback after Hunt and Sullivan? Anyone with more knowledge around the juniors able to bring some insight?

Bit dramatic....Amone going nowhere. If Bud wants to sook about it, let him go. I am sure Braxton won't mind learning from Hunt, and ready to step up in 24/25.

I would rather release a 1 game rookie halfback than our only Origin / Aussie rep player. If Gould wants Bud so much, use him as a pawn in a swap for Luke Thompson to strengthen our forwards

Just heard it on 2SM news. So it is rumours thread.

I hope part of his responsibilities include mentoring and encouraging the youngsters. Bring them in to his view of the future and how he will help them.

sorry mate i feel you older guys should have first crack at the job

 

[slippery5]

Both will be more than a joke. Sully is the future along with promising Flegg half Braxton Wallace in my humble opinion. But we need Ben to mentor Sully next year.

Why does everyone think you (Bud) need to be mentored ?? Was Elias mentored by Reynolds before he was thrown into the starting side? You play your game not adapt someone else's.
Bud has played enough & been around the system long enough to slot STRAIGHT IN !!!!!!
