The Rumours Thread

[Jeremy Dragon]

The magic day is here where's all the signings the day the myth

 

[mattw5]

They better announce Gutho soon

 

[Dragon David]

They better announce Gutho soon

It reminds me of our "attempt" to sign RCG and basically calling that it was a done deal but things just dragged on. He kicked the conversion in his last game for the Eels and well, I thought that he was going to be announced a Dragon but we know what happened in the end - he wanted 3 years and we were only prepared to grant him 2, so he got it with the Dolphins in the end. I hope Gutho isn't playing the same game!!

 

[Mojo]

Well it is true. Liddle came good and has been great for us.

shhh

The longer it drags on anything can happen.

We may be speaking to several 7s at the moment which would be a priority in our current circumstances

I reckon him or his manager were talking to other clubs for increased $$$ which pissed off Nick & has led to this release. May isn't fighting to stay at the roosters either so it's defs $$$ related.

Have heard this! Went to the club and said he’s been offered 700-900 from a few clubs. Club called agents bluff and said go on then.
I think his new contract was for 450/500 at the roosters .

Dragons have apparently offered Adam Doueihi a 2 year contract. Source: Michael Carayannis Daily Telegraph

He has some red flags and some areas to improve, but he’s cheap and he can play.

Upside is worth it.

 

[Ronnie Dobbs]

To play where? I hope not the halves...would much prefer Wishart or Atkinson

Maybe we’ll sign them all and then work it out?

Signing Douehi is shrewd at the present moment. If Sharks hold Atkinson to his deal and it’s not til 26, then we keep our powder dry there. He could get injured next year and we’re cooked if we sign him a year out. Let things come to us.

Wishart is an absolute pipe dream at the moment. It’s more likely Pezet or Atkinson to add to Douehi, who covers multiple positions and at his best, that’s high level. It’s a calculated risk.

No need to rush at present.

I don't understand all the doom and gloom re Hunt's departure.

The semis were in our hands with Hunt was on one leg and on auto pilot. We got late injuries and Kyle's suspension.


After Hunt's carry on, I'd take anyone that doesn't abuse his teammates and doesn't tell all that he needs to improve his kicking game.

 

[BLM01]

Agree with RFM and TE ...Need to really lift in 2025 as the new blood and youngsters are snapping at their heels
JDB has carried the load of at times a struggling forward pack lacking depth
Was arguably our best and most consistent forward this season , so forcing him down the plank maybe a tad premature

Has Tom E actually signed and announced for 25?
Anyway a few of most are back to training officially next week

so he didn't SCREW a teammate's missus

He tried to SCREW Uncle Nick

All makes sense now!

lol

Jesus man.

I’m absolutely loving what’s going on.

People need to stop clutching their pearls and reacting to what these morons write.

They are Corporate Gossip Columnists and massive cork sarkers.

People are addicted to that shit. They take gossip as gospel.

Hasn’t been a proper League journo since Ian Heads.

I saw Sua give Hunt a sneaky spray in the Cronulla game for the wrong option for a poor pass the wrong way in attack
Pointing to his head with his finger basically calling him “ mentally challenged”
Yeh make him captain

 

[TheRev]

TomE is definitely not announced by the club.. and unless something radically changes, it wont be a Top30 gig.. whether he signs a nsw cup or a t&t or who knows deal.. dunno.

 

[VodkaSaint]

I can see why that would create much disharmony within the playing group, which is counterproductive to good results on the field, but hey, 'it takes two to tango'.

I'd be happy for Terrel as a Dragon recruit if the above was the case. It not comparable to his brother's actions.
Perhaps he can wear a chastity belt

Gambling debts are a bigger issue, borrowing from teammates or making stupid decisions to cover debts (Think Tim Simona or Ryan Tandy) This would need much more consideration

Terrell and JDB can share their stories

 

[Phantom V]

Of

i have warmed up to the idea of Douehi playing 6 for us next season as a short term fix as long as we make a big play for quality 7 for 2026.

Provided he stays injury free he could be a handy pick up for us. Smart footballer

 

[Ronnie Dobbs]

That’s it. He is.

1,3,4,6,7 and all at good NRL level is potentially absolute diamond in the rough territory. He can absolutely play. He has physical attributes to go with it.

Some alarming defensive lapses though.

I just see huge upside at low cost.

If it doesn’t pan out, it doesn’t murder us down the track.

But…….if it works out, he’s 25 years old and potentially an Origin player imo.

 

[TheRev]

This is the week mate, check in on Friday... my prediction is 2 players in the next 2 weeks.. 3 would be ideal.

Well its been 2 Weeks and close of business has passed.. time to call it.. I clearly over-estimated our ability to close those deals.

100 % correct. Most of the league jornos haven't got an original idea in their heads. They get their stories from listening to the ex player commentators who mostly have club aligned agendas.
