The Rumours Thread

[qld redvee]

I believe he's f****** useless!!!!

Thats another reason we don't need him

 

[Gardenia]

Hers some rumoured signings for you
Jason T
Big Nelson
Lachlan Illias
Josh Schuster
Damian Cook
Hunt gone ..Zac stays ..........
All possible

Awesome - love a good rumour. Only one that Id love is the last one

 

[JubileeJeffro]

Jason T would be a disaster; ever reducing minutes on a massive contract.

 

[Draginzaaar]

How is Zac stay possible?

 

[Chook99]

Take a punt on Schuster at 6

No from me. Lazy and weak in defence

 

[dungay dragon]

How is Zac stay possible?

Its the NRL ...anythings possible

 

[SOS]

How is Zac stay possible?

It’s not. He’s guessing

 

[D Premiers10]

Maybe after playing origin Zac will realise how much the club (Flanno) has done for him? He is a winger, and flanno is spot on for picking him there.

No way is it possible

Too late mate, he should have done that months ago !!

 

[hewi]

At least Zac will play in a team with a 1/2 that delivers.

 

[TheRev]

We don't actually want Zac is my understanding of the trouble hes caused, but not getting anything in return for him is the disaster imo.

A spine basically that delivers

Agreed, in any negotiations there is a give to get. We have given and got nothing as usual…
I really worry for the future of this once great club… PNG Dragons anybody?

 

[offiah]

The problem was his salary. If we did a trade for someone else we'd probably have to foot the difference. Eg. 850 - 650 = 200k. Cancelling his contract meant we don't have any obligation

We need good replacements for Lomax, Hunt, and any others we want to offload signed up by the end of this season. We want them to be available for the full preseason program..

 

[Reddragon]

You start Possm. Who’s the Hunt replacement?

 

[TheRev]

if the Titans rumour is true.. I mean Boyd+Campbell maybe? Campbell is low on my priority list though.. I think Hunts pulling power is pretty diminished though, esp with prob a year or so left... much will depend on how well he plays for QLD over this coming period.

 

[Parko1310]

The talk of letting Hunt just leave is ludicrous. People can pretend he's not all they want, but he's our best player. He's also the best half at the club. That doesn't make half his best position, but it's the most important position on the field and he is the best at it at the Dragons. Are we all just going to pretend we didn't lose to a Broncos team a couple seasons ago when they had 12 players out, and we had one: Ben Hunt. We lost to a genuine reserve grade team at full strength minus Hunt. The alternatives people are throwing up like Kyle to halfback.. sorry but are we serious? Anyone who genuinely thinks Kyle at halfback would be anything but an absolute disaster is blinded by their hatred of Hunt. Kyle's a reserve grader.. that's just the reality. Would I like to see Hunt at hooker? Yeah i would, his kicking game out of dummy half is way better than in general play and I completely acknowledge he can't organise a team. But the alternatives.. Kyle and Marchske in the halves.. in week to week NRL. My god that would be shambolic, just think about that for one second. No one thinking rationally could possibly actually think we'd be better off with that pairing. We are two good signings in the halves away from even being able to think about Hunt to hooker, or Hunt to leave - whatever gets you going. And with a massive shortage of good halves, it's just not going to happen, especially not right away. Say you sign a good out and out halfback who can control a game. Then, they play the halfback role, but we're still better off having Hunt in the halves (playing more of a 6 role) than we are having Kyle there. Even just signing that one half is going to be hard enough. Only if you did that and then signed another good half (a 6), would it actually be a viable option to move Hunt to hooker or to move him on. Hatred of the bloke just blinds people, the alternative of not having him in the halves/at the club is scary

We should do all possible to sign O'Sullivan. So, O'Salaven for Hunt.
