The Rumours Thread

He

Blaize Talagi had a great game 1 but was burnt heavily in his second game. He is just another average footballer.

He is a kid. No way he will be good every week. How could anybody know he is average after 5 minutes ??

Just pointing out that he is not top shelf - say that level which Tiruva appears to be at.

A guy who has years of experience and plays for the premiers vs a 2 game rookie who is what 19?

Personally I'd say he has a higher ceiling than Turuva

Can't imagine you would of thought much of Brett Morris in his first few games.

 

[Lennyb]

Had to look that up
If you mean the ex BOD Peter Black, replaced by Ben Creagh, then my unequivocal answer is;

NFI

Not much on Peter on the net. But just incase. Anyone with the name Black and the Dragons. Wide berth.

Tiger Black was the grandfather or great grandfather.

Geez at least wait until he has a full season under his belt before judging how good the kid is

We're the least attractive club for recruits & rightly so...This has been years in the making. Flanno is finding it out the hard way. Easy to say Roosters etc are dodgy but harder to accept the fact we're horrible as a destination for potential recruits.

If we want to recruit players then we need to develop some pride in our club & show players they have a future with us, they can better their career by playing for the dragons. We haven't shown any of it for a long time...

About to watch the warrington wolves vs hull. I honestly think there team would carve us up on paper which is a scary thought. George williams can control the game better then Hunt and Dufty vs Sloan is a toss of the coin. Debelin will join them next year

 

[KingFlanno7]

Honestly enjoying the superleague, no 6 agains, and the crowd noise is awesome. Warrington under Burgess are dangerous

Hard to disagree. Looking at the marquee signings like AFB, Fifita et al we haven't been able to land anyone. Whatever it is- no premiership window, distance to the gong, culture, board in our current settings we don’t look like anyone of note will come to us. Cf our drawn out discussions to retain Sua, retention also unstable.
Penrith have shown that, with time, a winning culture and team can be built from within. We aren’t the power club we were in the halcyon days and will never match the money and influence of the Rorters. We will have to build our own success or else we just make up the numbers

Siua Wong pls and thx

Tells you something when Fifita wasn’t even interested in hearing our sales pitch..

"Star" in the headline was also quite humorous.

To be fair, he was a Dragons player at the time of the alleged incident.

 

[Nanadragon]

After reading about the evidence, his and hers, I can't believe he got away with it.
And a female magistrate to boot!
This is why not many women come forward about these sort of things.
And to call him a Dragons player after one season with us and 149 games for Souths is typical of the media's disdain for our club.

 

[Auntie.Gerald]

90% of all accusations reported to police are not followed through with a charge

Over 40% of woman have reported they have been sexually assaulted

as a father of daughters that aint a great stat for our young woman to dodge

Agree, meanwhile on another thread there are neanderthals still sticking up for a guy who is still on our books after getting involved in a not very dissimilar situation. No wonder so many females are reluctant to press charges.

 

[hewi]

It’s all about beyond reasonable doubt and its meaning.

I think it's more a reflection of the lazy reporting and editing.
The author can't spell magistrate either. "Magstrate" is a new word, apparently.

He looked good tonight, a few silly errors but never gave up, especially against last uears finalist the Broncos. Eels will regret not signing him up earlier. A lot of clubs will be after him now
