The Rumours Thread

[SIR LANCELOT]

Decent Big Forwards should be the priority.Without them we are stuffed.Cannot see it improving much next year.Not much out there to recruit.Our club as usual way behind the eight ball.

Agree SIR LANCELOT , they should be more proactive , more so when when you consider that the impressive WIN corporation is one of the partners in the Joint Venture .

The TPAs that they could provide to a prospective Dragon acquisition must be many and varied under their enormous media umbrella ?

Like, it is so obvious that blind Freddy (sorry Freddy) would know that next year won't see us making anywhere near the top 8 UNLESS we get the forwards - big, brutal, attitude, mongrel, you name it and we have given so many adjectives/nouns to describe the type that we need on this Forum.

The good ones do not appear to be coming because either they don't see us being successful and reject us or they get better deals elsewhere, so basically we are left with the dregs as usual and again we fail - not acting quick and decisive enough. The young juniors cannot win games by themselves.

We should get Timm back as he runs hard.

Letting him and if rumors are correct Host go, are two of the great mysteries of life.

Probably didn’t/wouldn’t kiss (enough) arses.

It’s difficult to judge anyone too harshly when you consider the coaching over the past decade. Anyone that was graded after 2011 has had some of the worst coaching in the NRL.

Defence is an attitude & the teams attitude is the coaches responsibility. That’s why our middle defence is marshmallow soft.

I liked Sailor, he was never given a chance. It could easily been Sailor picked instead of Clune.

Clune debuted at 25 Sailor is only 20 or 21.

Anyway like I said good luck to him

Agree to a certain extant because I don't think Clune or Norman are better options & he should have been given a chance ahead of them, but unfortunately they have existing contracts & Sailor doesn't, so it's simply a case of last man in is out.

I reckon Sailor deserves better from the dragons

Agree, I’m sure if we didn’t have Norman he’d be retained. That or we’d throw the sink at Burton...

Rest assured Hook has been working the phones. Once the regular season is over I’d expect a couple of announcements. Hook hasn’t named his staff yet either.

Not a rumour but well done to the Titans and Justin Holbrook on a fantastic season.
Few young forwards joining the squad next year so all looking good for them.
Last five rounds equals five wins and will now only just miss playing finals footy.
Congrats Titans.

I asked Jacob host if he was moving to Souths next year, He started laughing and said ‘ask my manager’

I hope he stays I don’t see any reason to let him go, he’s only 23 his best footy is still ahead of him.

If there were better options on the market fair enough but there aren’t.

No other club seemed to think so.

Elliot I like it

 

[redVinme]

Great picks.

 

[ALSGI]

Elliot I like it

Elliot has a good footy brain, what a huge upgrade from our former mob!

 

[Dragon David]

Very good combination of coaches and support staff for 2021. It is very good that this has been sorted and all planning etc can now start. Let's see who they get to join our playing group.
