The Rumours Thread

What I wouldn't give for a....

"Press Conference Friday"

 

[blacksafake]

Some Updates
- Dragons are considering Addo Carr but will not make an offer until he meets with the chairman Andrew Lancaster
- Clubs current priority is the situation with Clint Gutherson and getting him to the club
- Ben Hunt look likely to stay as they don’t wanna get rid of him prior to finding a replacement

Thanks for the update Big Rig but surely Hunt can’t stay after all this BS

The only way i could see it possibly working would be if Kennedy was dropped/ let go.
1. Hynes, 6. Trindall, 7. Hunt, 9. Brailey
but I would say that is the longest of long shots.

Or if we don’t get Gutho do the Dragons try & do swap with them & get Atkinson & Kennedy

We don't want Hunt and neither do the other clubs. Just goes to show how unwanted he is at the price his Manager is trying to get. Hunt must be pissed off that no club wants him and we are stuck with him. If we have him for next year he will be worse than this year. Another year older and deeper he will be in the rut.

JAC wont be joining. Don’t give it anymore energy.

Agree. I’m tipping he’ll end up at Souths

This is not what I have heard... Trust me, Flanno knows what he is doing...worst case scenario he is here for another year if we don't land the targets we are looking at.

I also think he'll try to have a big year to win a contract elsewhere. He is not ready to retire.

He was always going to finish in QLD....

Absolutely correct WE have the upper hand here not Ben Hunt. Flanno’s focus is Gutho at the moment which @BIG RIGG has confirmed & if that happens he has a plan, he also has a plan if it doesn’t. Yes I would love to hear some more signings sooner than later but in Flanno we trust & I think he is our best option to get this club winning consistently again. I am still on the bus !

My understanding is different. Still a huge chance but won't pay him what the dogs want so they'll wait until he's terminated before seriously considering

How does Hunt fit into their squad? Kennedy 1, Hynes 6, Trindall 7 & Brailey 9....

He’s a game breaker that Cronulla need, it’s for next year only, at a bargain price.

Hynes contract is going to kill Cronulla (lol), so they need a piece that can take them to tge GF next year.

after that, their window closes imo.

Like I said, left field. Think out of the box. Cronulla need to gamble to win the comp now.

AFB and Hunt, give us Atkinson next year and Trey can fit them in as they like. Kennedy is replaceable. I’d push him down and Hynes to FB, which is what they’ll have to do to keep Atkinson anyway.

They can’t win the comp with what they have.

 

[BIG RIG]

Dragons will only sign JAC if Gutho rejects or if that are able to offload Ravalawa

 

[BIG RIG]

But if we don’t get a move on we will end up with none

I reckon the 2026 deal would be done before the 2025 season kicks off..

 

[BIG RIG]

Slight chance they may still make an offer for JAC if Gutho is signed for 2026 not 25

 

[justadragon]

Interesting article today between Chammis and Flanno, all things are not as we thought, either that or Flanno is playing his cards close to his chest. Seems more than likely Hunt will be here next season and beyond if he plays well.

According to Riccio a major sticking point with JAC is he is asking for a 3 year deal.
