The Rumours Thread

Holmes is still an option.. Holmes + <pick a forward> and were still good.. but fmd these players are making us work for every single signing.... I dont think were nearly as bad a destination as we are being treated.. fringe Top8 side on the way up with a proven coach who just needs a few signings.. weve come a long way in that last 12 months.. again though.. we need names on a page.. maybe then we will be taken more seriously.

It baffles me into why we are such a undesirable location

Big Rig do you think it’s what happens at the board level

I’d say that’s a factor , other factor would have to be the absolute f**king morons in Haran and Millard

It's getting untenable at this point not that anyone in the club is going to admit it or do anything about it.

Go ...... I'll pack his bags and drive him to the Airport ....... Enough is enough .......

I'll tail you just in case he changes his mind and jumps out.

If we could get Moses, Hunt could retire at the end of this season

Would love that. The problem with the game is Moses, Talagi and Stefano are all in defeated teams touted as going to super power clubs. We our also losing our season's best player to boot.

Buzz on 360 said

Holmes and his manager approached the Roosters a month ago and stated that he was keen to move back to Sydney and the Roosters werent interested

Flanno heard about this and met with him and the club have offered him 3 yrs 850 000 per year

Now Holmes has decided he wants to stay but the cowboys still want to move him on

so they sounds to me that the bloke doesn’t wanna play for St George you can rule him out now

We are not an appealing option for anyone

Cook only signed cause his only other option was Huddersfield lmao

Thought you said today that Holmes was 99% ?

 

[Dragons4me]

maybe sort of true

pretty sure Stephen, Josh, Matt, Toby, Josh, Reed, Viliame, Blake, Drew, Kurt, Karl, Ryan all came for the money to the Dogs

I stopped counting at 12 players ie almost a starting NRL team

Nope. They all signed on for the wanting to live in the local area.

2025 should be his last year.

I reckon 2024 would be better..

That’s what I heard but obviously was incorrect per todays reports

Yes that’s the other very bad problem isn’t it

 

[<StGeorgeDragons>]

No one actually knows anything. Not since that George Dragon fella has much inside info actually turned into anything tangible. And he's been quiet.

 

[denis preston]

Surely we can’t be that bad in recruitment? If we go into next season without 3 or 4 more good signings we should demand an explanation from Webby & Lancaster.
Bloody frustrating isn’t it !

 

[Inisai Toga]

Just shut the thread down! Murphy’s Law ….we’ll then sign 3 players.

 

[shiloh dc]

Just wait till Perth Bears and the other two new teams come into the NRL. Above average NRL players will either move to these new teams for $1.2M a year or they will move to the top 3-4 teams for much lower amounts to try and win a title. Such players will avoid teams like the Dragons unless we match the $1.2M and if we do that we are toast.
The current salary cap is not working.
The NRL & the NRL players association must ensure clubs can pay anything they want to an available player but must debit their salary cap by minimum 85% - 90% of the highest registered bid for that player.

I'll pay for the petrol and tolls

Whatever Hunt does, Flanagan would want an answer sooner rather than later.
Not that we are doing all that well on the recruitment front, but having around another $1M in the salary cap has got to be a good thing.
