The Rumours Thread

I guess I cannot complain that clubs like the Storm keep getting into finals each year for years when the Dragons had that golden period and many years after that so it will be our turn again one day. Just have to be patient as they say.

thats better dave

Stefano to the Storm

haha lovely - this makes my dark heart very happy

So one of the top teams gets one of the bottom teams best players

that’s fair ….. not

No sympathy for them. They have Luia and Turuva coming next year. Much better position than us.

I’ll be very happy to land those 3 plus cookie for 2025. Now time to lose Lawrie and Bird and maybe grab Averillo from the dolphins.

I would be happy for us to get Averillo not sure about RCG

Not sure if it has already been posted here, but the Telegraph is reporting that the Dragons are talking with 3 players who are under contract with other clubs for 2025 or beyond.
So as well as Safiti and Holmes, RCG is also being looked at for 2025.

all upgrades on what we have now. A bit nervous about age but I guess incremental improvement is better than what we have now

Bellamy will get Stefano to be much better than what he currently is. They ;probably will get rid of NAS but where he will go no idea, maybe a swap with the Tigers.

Dragons

Stefano must have worked out he can afford to move his mother in law to Melbourne nearby to help his Mrs with the kid/s

I reckon Tigers should loan him to the Storm for the rest of the year. That way he is a big chance to win that comp he is after. May not get another chance. Does not Friz know that too well

For all those Webster clinger ons after last year. Warriors about to say bye bye to the finals for 2024.
Cant even beat Parra at home. What a fall from grace after losing nobody and gaining RTS, Capewell etc
The NRL fan favs are losing their mojo..again
Imagine if that was the Dragons.
Maybe Webster cant coach after all.. who knows
Ill judge him after next year
Sharks can gave AFB for $1 mill a year
Enjoy the 1 good year you get before he agitates

We just need to get these bloody contracts signed the longer we dither the chance other teams swoop
If we are signing better quality just get it done

Even Mary and Hook had us up in the top 4 early in the year on more than one occasion. Means nothing come business end. Webster can coach and he has a pretty good team to run out there. No excuses. Flanagan for coach but has crap players on the whole. We will never be anything but slightly competitive.

In fact none of these teams have a buckley's chance of getting a look in at a premiership in next few years:

Tigers
Dragons
Warriors
Knights
Eels
Sea Eagles
Titans

That's what you call an unhealthy competition. Those are just mostly ARL teams who have been making up numbers for decades now. If they can recruit they have to pay the price or are pure untouchables like us.

Stefano signing with Storm, Talagi off to Panthers, everyone else to Roosters or Dogs etc etc nothing is going to change. Melbourne will give us a pounding this weekend but it's this aspect of the game that hurts the most.

And lets not forget, the only way they got caught cheating last time was that someone accidently stumbled across the second and third contracts. Maybe they've simply learnt from that mistake.

So did Rorters , Broncos & Bulldogs ( eventually )
