The Rumours Thread

[goldiesaintz]

Did I just see that Folou may be signed?
What the actual F**K

Did I just see McInnes signed a 4 year deal with Sharks?
What the actual F**K

Yep, McInnes gone to Far Kurnell / Cronulla area and the same can be said about the possible hiring of Folau, Far Kurnell !

Seriously is it April Fools day today.
McInnes, Folau, Norman.
I'm heading home from work early to get on the turps me thinks.

 

[redVinme]

Surely it's click bait. There are a lot of pissed off drags supporters today. What an easy way to get some views.

If it somehow is true I'm pulling up stumps.

 

[Unsainty79]

We are in trouble.

Nevermind who is wrong or right between McInnes & Griffin, it's downright embarrassing to see Griffin run to Hadley to throw mud at McInnes. This is our THIRD captain in TWO years to leave.

For McInnes to go to Cronulla, who are so shambolic, they might as well be called the Dragons too, is scary. Talk about jumping from the pan into the fire. It shows where the Dragons are at.

McInnes will no doubt leave this season, his role is untenable as a player now and even more so as skipper.

The suggestion at Norman having his deal extended is frightening. There are so many juniors coming through, granted, they are some time off, but surely three years is will have them looking elsewhere.

Folau is divisive. With McInnes leaving, you would think we'd be looking at a leader to bring the team together. Folau will bring negative press and even more scrutiny on a team that has shown that they cannot handle the scrutiny or disruption.

Folau is an incredible player; far better than anyone we have at the moment. However, his position is probably the last area we need to be looking at.

Norman is 30, Folau 31, McCullough 31 - all going to be signed or extended on deals for more than a season. Its no wonder we continue to lose our juniors.

Disagree with all that.. except disappointed he is leaving that’s all
He is going to play lock
Hook does not see him as a lock
Just hope we have a longer term 9 planned after 2022
We are not in trouble
We have been in trouble
There is a method I trust to shake our tree and get our squad right and value for money
I await patiently and will go for the ride.

Pretty sure this has come from a fake twitter account

 

[Adolf_Spritzer]

I can’t help but feel all the journo’s are having a field day putting the proverbial heat on the dragons. All these rumours on top of a disappointing but necessary decision re C McInnes, wouldn’t be surprised if this was a collective effort against us although that starts to encroach into conspiracy territory

in Hook we trust...I do believe Mciness was very limited as a creative hooker compared to other hookers
I actually like Brialey from the Sharks surely he must be on the market now that Mciness is coming....

Apparently not
they want McInnes as a lock
there you go

They’ll be a bit light don’t you think? Between Nikora, Graham and McInnes that’d have to be the smallest back row in the comp.

Who knows, maybe the speed of the play nowadays will compliment their size. From memory it did us no favours last year

Well said, Unsainty,
You've pretty much covered all areas and your comments are hard to argue with.

Surely something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

[murraymob]

Keep your faith in Griffen .Considering how soft the dragons have been for several years .There where going to be major. Changes .Some that would upset fans .He is a hard task master and players that can’t handle that may have been part of the problem all along
The roster has to change and he is doing it .

NRL.com says that the Dragons have asked the NRL for permission to sign him.

If they do, I am resigning my Red-V membership and considering a little jersey-burning ceremony at the door of St George Leagues Club.

 

[Gareth67]

I recall how all those Bronco supporters queued for miles outside their leagues club , in protest after the club announced the signing of Matthew Lodge . Can not recall just what the man had done wrong , but it must had been far worse than Folau’s crime ?

 

[Prometheus]

Matt Lodge invaded some poor New York family's home and terrorised them.
