With the halves situation, I think it will pay better to be a little patient. As some have said, see where Hunt ends up and what the fallout is there. The other one to watch is at Penrith. If they're looking at Mbye to cover Cleary, which is from a reliable source in Peter Lang who does a lot of Penrith coverage, then that may open the Schneider discussion again. Frankly, Douehi and Illias are both poor options to put it kindly. Schneider is no star, but he is so much better than those guys. Penrith will have so many halves options if they land Mbye, having Talagi, Laurie, Schneider, Cole in addition to him all looking at a halves spot. Makes me think they'll be happy to move at least one of Schneider/Cole on, with Schneider the more likely. Keep chasing Atkinson as well, but you would have to think that is more of a 2026 prospect

Any rumours of what players we will have on our T & T list for 2025??
NickyT & Ackers are locked.. speculation over the rest.. I think Lawson & King-Togia will be 2 more of them (but neither is confirmed) and still no confirmation about TomE's contract status.

Beyond that I think some of the Train & Trial kids might fight it out for the remaining spots.. or perhaps one of the young hookers might take it if Flanno feels we need one first grade available.. I think those decisions may TBD.

Sione Fainu (Tigers Prop) is expected to start the season on a train & trial deal would he be worthwhile targeting? Only 23 don't know much about him to be honest.

He does look ok in the couple games I saw

I suspect we need more though ie older harder finals type prop

ie we have the young props already at the club that could be very very good players over time

we need that metre eater now

I will say opinion.. not reliable source
ex player(not attached to Dragons but sounded convincing.. so could classify as both
It is possible that he was pencilled into Souths up until a few days ago.... but after we missing May, we have made a better offer to him...

It's interesting.. There are other props we could try and agitate free, such as Sione as mentioned above.. But lodge would do the job if he's not already signed. Is available for 2025... And he's hardened, he's not a rookie.

i expect this mystery player is just taking him for a ride
News today that Paps staying at Storm for the next few seasons
Now puts pressure on the futures of Wishart , Pezet and Welch and Fualogo in particular
Somethings gotta give there ..cant keep them all
Would be really pushing hard discreetly for Wishart
At the same time unlikely Atkinson will be on the move from the Sharks missing out also on Paps
Still a bit curious however they were chasing Volkman for a halves gig for next Season
