i expect this mystery player is just taking him for a ride

As I said we will see. Just passing on a rumour in a rumours thread. An educated guess is we will know one way or another some time next week.

Arent they trying to move on Kennedy? And if successful they were going to find it easier to keep Atkinson?

I think they would like to move on Kennedy, but I cant imagine they could do it 'within weeks', noone in the NRL would buy him surely.. not at remotely full price anyway.. but this is his last year, so if Atkinson was willing to wait till 2026 for a first grade spot.. maybe it works.

Have we considered Jackson Hastings? Good player who could provide good service for a year or two before we make a huge bid for someone else or gives LK enough time to become our first grade half.

God no, he’s on 800k + he’s average and he’s a bad egg (Punted from multiple clubs)

Much better to sign one of the younger halves we’ve been linked too with more upside

God only knows RedVDave, with everything that is going on atm who really knows. We all wanted Flanno to operate in a stealth like manner and we are certainly getting that. I will just continue to have faith that he knows what he is doing.

I am not too concerned bcs the worst outcome is no new half so KF plays 7, Gutho plays 6, and Sloan/Allan plays fullback. Is this a disaster?

 

[Mojo]

So, this is exactly the problem. We should not be just writing off another season but instead sending our scouts to South Africa, New Zealand, England and The South Pacific with instructions to find the type of props we need. These props to replace our third-in-line Lawrie and other older reserve-grade props. Keep Fifita, the Couchman, and the other junior props as they come through.

I'll go. How long have I got?

Flanno will not move Gutho from FB. At the very worst KF will play 7 and LKT 6.

Heard the same from a Souths tragic mate.

could be the same bloke

Gutho will be playing 1 Flanno has stated this a few times. Kyle and LKT more likely the current plan B, hence they need a 6/7 cover.

Right. KF + LKT. That is a lot of pressure to put on young LKT. But Flanno knows what he is doing. And the kid look very sturdy. So fingers crossed.

LKT wasn't lacking any confidence, was he?
Maybe he's the Dragons version of Atkinson

Then Gutho becomes the backup for 5/8 but who is our No. 7 back up for Kyle? Unless LKT is the is 7 backup?

 

[RedVee]

No matter how you look at it we need a backup half
