I’m sure there are some very wealthy business people who are passionate Dragons supporters who would be more than willing to help the club with TPA’s. It’s just that our old greedy rusted on board members are so paranoid to relinquish any ounce of control of the club.

Twiggy is sponsoring the dragons at present guys just wanted to let you know squadron is on our jerseys
The Third Party Associations (TPAs) cannot come from a sponsor. There cannot be a connection to the club. The way Russell and Nick do it is to find someone who is in their network, but not a sponsor of their club. This entity then provides a Third Party Deal and promises it to a player (Eg, DCE).
What's in it for the entity? They might be trying to do some business with Nick or Russell in some other venture and the TPA is a show of good faith. So no, it wouldn't be Squadron providing the TPA.

So again, if Klemmer was signed by Hook, dogshit signing, he’d be just taking a pay check like Woods did.
If Klemmer signs under Flanno, he’ll be motivated and giving his all.
@maestro1 caught you red handed big fella, you and @Crush are the same person!

Only one person could be this moronic to first state Klemmer would be a good signing (motivated and giving his all) and then also that Taupau would be an 'excellent pick up'.

Not sure if you've paid much attention to Klemmer's stats so far, but he is yet to run for more than 100 meters in all of his performances for us to date, seems like someone who is really motivated and giving his all 😂😂😂

Two absolute muppets right here ladies and gents.

Klemmer became available after Molo got homesick, Sele was still under a health question mark, Eisehuth was injured, and Ryan Couchman did his ACL. Klemmer is only a 1 season signing. He was the best available at the time. He hasn't been superb, however, has not let anyone down.
I'm not fazed either way about Tapau. He could easily fill a gaping hole in our middles FOR 6 MONTHS ONLY. I'm not fussed either way, however, if we lose another one or two middles and we don't grab him for 6 months only, we may regret it as a full squad of 21 year old middles is not ideal. Just because someone goes well in NSW Cup, doesn't mean they will handle the step up into NRL, especially a middle and over a long season. The Couchman boys took 2 and a half seasons to establish themselves and the rigours of NRL has obviously taken its toll. Egan and Stewart have been fantastic, but it is only round 11, so they have only played approx. 7 to 8 NRL games. Pasifika Tonga had an awesome debut, but it is only 1 game. Every pack needs seasoned warriors and ours is no exception. Klemmer and Tapau (if signed, and I don't think it will happen anyways) are a stop gap to buy some time for our next generation of forwards to come along. You are putting too much emphasis on them and no one is labelling them our long term solutions. Unfortunately, you can't wait for Flanno to fail, so you are too enthusiastic to label every move Flanno makes as a failure. Your hatred is so intense you are deathriding every decision and ejaculating to early. You might want to visit your chemist as they may have some medication for you. You are extra vocal on the eve of a game "we cannot possibly win". You are salivating at what you think will be a massacre which, in your biased mind, will bring about Flanno's demise. You seem like your in a state of exhilaration from the anticipation of a flogging at the hands of the Broncos. Your level of exuberance after a Dragons loss is only matched by your invisibility after a Dragons win. You can't even hide how much you enjoy our losses. Only a Sharks supporter could enjoy a Dragons loss as much as you do.

Harawira-Naera cleared to return to footy.. could be an option even if just on a supplementary deal to start? We were after him before he went to canberra I believe and can play in the middle.

Also haven't seen that Bullemor has re-signed at Manly, would be very good off the bench for us.
Bullemor was off contract at the end of 2023 I was hoping we signed him then.

Oh dear, I haven't even bothered reading this steaming pile of poo you've produced as a justification of your ill founded views on player signings that defy logic.

Hope you didn't spend too long typing this one out chief, enjoy the rest of your evening.

So by your own admission, you are judging something and labelling it "poo" without having read it. Why am I not surprised. How did you get so wise. And this is what we have to deal with in this forum. Fxcking oxygen thief.

Sloan would have to be highly doubtful
Looking forward to Lawson getting an opportunity
Carries the ball strongly , has speed and can defend
At WIN the other night, Sloan was right in front of us in the second half and the arm he injured early in the game was strapped to the point he could barely bend it. He spent most of the game using one arm only.

He was a passenger for most of the game , and was left on which was puzzling
several weeks back Suli was busted and was left on
app its only obvious to us fans , and not the Coaching and Medical staff

If what I’m hearing today that
@NRL_Dragons hooker Jacob Liddle has agreed to terms with @NRL
club Manly, then it could end up being not a very happy Sunday. Hoping the tip is wrong.

That will absolutely do me if true, horrible mistake. Taken with a grain of salt of course

If that is true the place is a complete F**K UP ....... How in their right mind would keep Cook over Liddle ....... Let's hope it's just a made up rumour .......

The writing was on the wall when we signed Cook and dropped Liddle to the bench. Flanno needs to leave a spot for Kyle so whether it's Manly or some other club it's almost guaranteed he will move on. Absolute bullshit if you ask me, even the most optimistic of fan couldn't be happy with this decision if it's true. Insanity
