The Rumours Thread

[Ronnie Dobbs]

Let’s hope we dont stuff this up. If he is this "good", then offer a good deal get the signature and let's keep going forward

I think, in Lancaster, we have a Chairman with chutzpah to seek out and recruit the best.

Patience.

There used to be a gym at the Taj years ago. Not sure if there still is or not, but yes there is a lot of wasted space there

and squash courts I think.
Not to mention a lawn bowling club.

FYI peeps ... Nepo baby is not Kyle

I thought it was Haran..phew

 

[BLM01]

Absolutely. I've always said that all organisations take on the personality of the person at the top.

I hope this is right. We have some leaders this year but not sure about all the followers

 

[Old Timer]

Thats intriguing.

Ikin would be good for us IMO but sadly our BOD is about as f**ked with old boy mentality as the Broncos were when Ikin was there.

 

[TheRev]

Hopefully it means the CEO appointment isnt too far away now.. and then we can get onto GM & Recruitment.. that is basically a clean sweep of the house, if indeed we can find 2 decent replacements.

 

[blacksafake]

100%

Sitting in the slip stream letting the leader take all the head wind and just waiting for the right moment to pull out and overtake.

Even his title demonstrates that he will cop no flak as he lies in wait.

Should have been baked for his performance as defence coach in the end of season reviews but escaped.

Hoping to do a Bradbury

Dylan Brown a smokey to come to us 2026.

He's got some sort of get out clause's and options in his favour but @ 1 mil plus per season?

Plays exceptionally well with Moses but who wouldn't.
Not quite sold on his 'marquee' status without Moses

Would love to know everyone's opinion as I'm having Corey Norman flashbacks.

Is absolute best buddies with King Gutho

I'd rather get DA if possible. He is a good footballer but I don't like to see overinvestment in imported players.

Brown has a very strange contract
From memory, his get out clause doesn't kick in till midway through 2026, but then has options in his favour to play for Parra till 2031

So unless Parra grant him permission to negotiate he'll only get one season with Gutho, then you would also expect Brown would want a contract till 2031 with us.

I'm more interested in your opinion of Brown as a player in the REDV and whether you can see value?

Hey HOD

I was talking about Deano

Everyone is wanting Flanno senior to be resigned as am I. But Deano is the elephant in the room.

Wooooh. Scary!

Ok. The club has done some dumb things, given, but do you really think they would replace a premiership winning coach in the midst of rebuilding the club with an untried rookie just because his dad is Craig Young?

That's the most ridiculous thing I've heard since the last time some posted this kind of rubbish.

Conspiracy theorists have been posting this kind of rubbish for years now with zero result.

C'mon, give it a break!

Gutho impresses me and we haven't kicked a ball. Captain for me

Also, he’s not untried. He had a brief go and was found lacking.

"Popular"Dragons blinkered BOD vision style someone in house or a BOD with vision. Which is it?
Although "shrewd operator"and "highly regarded"does not sound like anyone we are familiar with lately at Dragon land.
My bet is on Haran .. and a close 2nd Parr from the Knights

You underestimate the St George faction.

Look where we are because of them.

Why is Craig Young still representing the club? I thought he was removed after the Finch saga.

Removed from the St George Illawarra BOD, not from the St George club.
