The Rumours Thread

[Dragons4me]

It is reasonable to want to wait and see what these two can do. But it might be a revelation to see the team playing both sides of the ruck for a change with, say, Cook or Liddle as link men.

I'm just looking forward to something different in '25. So much centered around Hunt that rarely came off. We'll do OK if we have a fair run with injuries.

Too early let’s see how this year pans out first with a squad he is building

We now need an alfa prop to have any chance of doing well in 2025.

I have heard a rumour they have signed one to be announced next week, no guarantees but my contact is pretty reliable.

No evidence, I just feel like Saints or SF got something up their sleeve for some time; staggered if we went into next season without another big name forward, notwithstanding D Cooke and the expected development of some of last years pack.

I would love this to be true... though im not holding out too much hope... even though Flanno does like to undersell, he genuinely seemed like he was given up filling the 30th slot until 'something exciting came up'.. but it would knock our socks off if he came up with an unexpected/unpublicised prop.

I would be happy enough with Lodge.

So, if we sign an alpha prop, the next move is to offload Ravalawa and Lawrie. This will give us two spots in the top 30.

1. Gutherrson
2. Lawson
3. Sulie (right centre)
4. Holmes (left center)
5. Sloan (now 94 Kg)
6. Flannagan
7. Ilias
8. Molo
9. Cook
10. Thompson
11. Leilua
12. Su'A
13. Sele

14. Liddle
15. De Belin
16. T Couchman
17. Fifita (breakout season)

Reserve Grade
1. Feagai
2. Tuipulotu
3. Finau
4. ?
5. Ravalawa
6. Allan
7. LKT
8. Lawrie
9. Latu
10. M Molo
11. R Couchman
12. Eisenhuth
13. RFM

3. Finau
14. ?
15. Tonga

i hope it is Thompson. Now that an inexpensive half has been signed. Flanno can go the extra dollars to sign Thompson.

we have zero chance of Thompson signing. Think of another addition to your ever evolving team list.

Possm, you have inadvertently created the Couchman triplets. Where have you been hiding the 3rd of them all this time? Now that would make a great rumour!

Hi best friend in the world i just had an after thought can you imagine lachlan ilias being a future coach at stgeorgeillawarra thoughts?

Not to mention papa Couchman might have some explaining to do when he gets home from work

I mean a christmas prop is the best kind of prop. Wait for the cooldown i guess.

Stop putting Thompson in there. He will be playing for the Knights in 2025.

Nah more chance of someone who is far more prominent at your club being captain & coach of the Long Bay Penitentiary side for 2026/7.

Your vitriol to L I leads me to suspect he didn’t sign your Rabbit cap after one of his games and you never got over it.

Without even reading his post, as I have him on ignore, I would say you are likely right on the money there OT...

Forget 3 of em.. there is 4.. just need someone to sign them all up.

 

[Gareth67]

I believe that Lodge is on his way to the wabbitts , he and Bennett have been in talks over the last 2 weeks .

Hope that hewi’s rumour becomes a reality , perhaps another younger forward who can give the Big Red V some grit in defence and attack .

 

[Unsainty79]

Brandon Smith on the bye round podcast was pretty open about having spoken to other teams and not the cowboys. Said he wants to stay in Sydney. Also said he wants to stay at roosters. A really odd interview.
