The Rumours Thread

[Dragon David]

According to the official NRL.com website, the Dragons have 28 contracted players.
So if the report from Dragonslayer about Fui's injury ends up in Fui not being able to play again you would think he will fall into the retired player category leaving us with 3 spots to fill.
Makes me think we would be looking for at least another 2 forwards in the coming weeks/months.

Nice!

Not on topic, but has anyone heard from justadragon? He normally says quite a bit before and after games but hasn't posted anything for a while.

Thanks for the thought Dave, one of the consequences of being in the Defence Forces and being called out at short notice, am back now trying to catch up with all the posts.

Good to have you back justa. Maybe as you are involved with the Defence Forces, you could send your thoughts to Hook as to how our guys should be defending this year.

No report of Fui's injury from the club, where was his injury reported?

@George Dragon who’s mail is good reported it in an earlier post.
It’s an ongoing hip I think problem

Fui also hasn't played KOE Cup since round 3 and has not appeared on any team sheet, given round 1 was a bye he's played 2 games this year. So 3 weeks without a word.

Sometimes the player just wants it to remain silent. As given its a career ending situation, you may have to respect that.

His sister has left our NRLW team for the Titans as per an Instagram post I saw this morning.

A shame, she is a very good player.

That list hasn't got Toby Couchman in it
Woods is also counted in our numbers he can be replaced but doesn't have to be
So far this season we have 30 contracted playes. They will save Woods spot till June 30 if needed . Don't expected any signings soon and if we do more than likely be a back we only have Moga and Max as back up

Well spotted Jeremy Dragon.
Another thing to consider is the rule where all development players can be used from round 10 with no impact on the top squad numbers.

It's the reason Alec Tuitavake went from top 30 at Manly to DP here by the time he is fit he will be eligible for FG

 

[blacksafake]

Sort of a rumour.
I heard Lawrie on Joel & Fletch & he came across well. He did let slip about Su’a signing an extension but moved along quickly. Hopefully it’s true.

In the same year that the dolphins had as much money as they wanted to spend how do you now rate our 2023 recruitment?

If Lidds and Fafita turn out gems then under the circumstances we could be looking back on this recruitment as above average minimum.

BMM has started strong.

Along with Hunt for reportedly $750k last two seasons great work actually.

U would think we are a strong chance of extending Liddle as well which would make the 2023 move smart.

2023 gains:
Alec Tu’itavake (2024),
Viliami Fifita (2025),
Zane Musgrove 2024
Nick Lui-Toso 2023
Jacob Liddle 2023
Ben Murdoch-Masila 2024

Heaven forbid to think that anyone within our club got anything right.

This place will explode unless in the long run they all prove to be shit.

Of course if any turn out as good investments no credit will go to Hook and there won't be a death rider to find anywhere.

OT, you’ve made your point, time to move on.

Agree. It's a better squad now than it was a couple of years ago.

 

[possm]

Let's wait to judge the quality of our squad until around finals time.

Hey Justa, I'm ex RAAF, so know how you feel.

I said ‘better’ : (better than bad doesn’t necessarily = good…….yet)
