The Rumours Thread

But he has bought a property in Nthn NSW. I’d expect Gold Coast, Brissy tops.

I believe you are allowed to rent properties out and you don’t have to live in them and can move in later.

Remember when Lockyer bought that house at Bexley?

I’m not sure he’s ever lived in it.

We have got to do our due diligence on Doueihi and have a thorough medical done on him before signing him if we are planning to get him.

Id suggest you watch any of his games from the last 3 years. I’m 41, Adam Doeuihi is the worst defender I have ever seen in the NRL. I’m not exaggerating. Ever.

BIG UPDATE

I’m being told that the only club interested in Ben Hunt is the Bulldogs and that the Dragons will be open for a swap with Josh Addo Carr

Very interesting.

Very, very interesting.

There’s cap space and a need filled in that deal. I don’t know if they handicap themselves out the Leo Thompson talks with that though, unless Leo is for 26?

Take Atkins or Trindall from Cronulla asap, also possibly use cap space to pay Laurie out.

Just spitballing.

Don't think we will have to worry about that David.
Whenever an article says a club is "considering" talking to a player, it is generally a fairly baseless story.
The Atkinson rumour makes more sense and has a lot more legs to it.

Dragons consider Doueihi move after giving Hunt permission to talk to rivals

St George Illawarra are considering making a play for Adam Doueihi after informing Ben Hunt he had permission to begin negotiating with rival clubs.

This suggests we are looking at Adam Doueigh from tigers

Covers a lot of positions

What about the people in here that had him ear marked as not only team captain but club captain?

They need a lobotomy.

Would be more than happy to sign Atkinson, a very good confident player who you hopefully build a team around.

Lawrie has always been a reserve grader and that's probably being harsh to reserve graders. No chance at all he'll get better. He's got one level and that's bog average. Whoever re-signed him last time around should be ashamed of themselves.

'Bog average', that's 2 levels. I'd say he is more bog than average.

Covers a lot of positions

Has a lot of skill as well with ball in hand for a big body
He saw himself as a 6 but better than centre
Did mit come back real strong after a long lay off but see more upside than Bird snd Mybe assuming can remain injury free
