Sorry CC no can do.
A few issues to contend with at the moment.
Hopefully we catch up somewhere in the 1st half of the comp.

He's only 20 so not sure about the "he's always had errors in his game" comment especially considering the amount of errors Sloan has in his game and he's had 59 games in the top grade.

I think we will regret losing Tamale and if he wasn't a better option than either Fegai then I am poorer judge than what people already think I am.

I’m 50/50 on this one. He’s clearly an immense talent but I was alarmed with the ease in which the Dragons hierarchy let him walk. I don’t profess to be a talent scout but for me there are either aspects of his game that the coaching staff considered too hard to “coach out” or there were attitude issues. Either way he’s gone and it opens the door for the likes of Finau to grab the opportunity.

Tamale was indeed good. With us he played more centre, and was not great with defensive reads. Maybe wing is his thing, like Lomax.
Like most 20 year olds consistently is the trick. I think he was worth persevering with, but Finau also looked good in hus first hitout..
The question is really Sloan.. is he going to cut it as a winger…or is CT and Finau a better balance.

A few people were involved in some heavy club politics for a long time. To me, it seemed that they were lining their pockets and crunching back room deals ingraciating themselves and their mates.

Dean Young is not a good enough coach to get a head coach gig, so if he landed the Dragons job, he would drag us down to the bottom of the ladd and care more about his father's desires for a job on the Board again than anything else.

Was it Young who Molo has the issue with?, the reports are a senior member of the coaching staff and its not Flanagan

That seems to be the consensus.

We don't know and perhaps won't. The people with an agenda against Young have fingered him for it though

well that's a rather kinky way of dealing with it.....

I'll rephrase.

People who have a hard-on for Young are "pointing the bone" at him

CT is just OK. Sloan is still a work in progress. Lawson is new and has to unseat these average level wingers.

I'm tipping Lawson to be selected outside Sulie within a few weeks and to hold his spot from then on. Our attention will then be turned to who is selected to be outside Holmes, which is a much easier spot to impress.

That’s better. Much prefer a dodgy cultural reference than a sexual in- your- endo.

As you might be able to tell from my avatar, I am a huge fan of Arrested Development so I think this is appropriate for this conversation......

But the game starts 7:30am!

oh, that’s here, and umm, I guess with rocks and glass houses I shouldn’t make a comment about 7:30am anyway

The Sharks must have lots of TPA providers?

We just kept them in play with our offer simple as that.

Shame.

He could have been useful next season...

Was always going to happen when we only came in at 450K kept Cronulla in play & he was always going to re-sign if they came in close to our offer we had a chance to blow rivals out of the water but didn’t
