The Rumours Thread

[I'm Hornby]

Telegraph reporting with the pending arrival of DCE that Sandon Smith will be squeezed out.

Yes and Zero Tackle reporting Smith is in talks with the cowboys before anyone goes getting any crazy ideas.

The coach will ensure his son and Atkinson are the halves next year.

You make me look like Einstein . Muppett

Do any of us may consider that kf7/I'm Hornby/Stmar are all in one, Craig Young, pushing the envelope for Deano to be the next HC?

 

[Dragon Blood]

And that’s part of our problem.. really need some actual front rowers making metres consistently. JDB has been good, but we need more

We have LKT and the Coachmans, a blessing in disguise as all 3 will be rep payers in the very near future.

Definitely crossed my mind

 

[Dragon Blood]

Definitely crossed my mind

Me too 100%
1. I'm Hornby = Craig Young
2. kf7 = Dean Young
3. Stmar = B Haran or old mate Doust

In all probability it is just the one Fuxer but the above would not surprise me one bit if they were individuals, i'm sure they all read our Dragons supporters posts on here, I have no doubt about that whatsoever!

Mate I’d be happy if LKT becomes a consistent first grade player. I’m still not convinced just yet let alone a rep player in the near future

Sorry my bad and apologies, I meant Loco Pacifica Toga LPT! All these acronyms of Poly players confuse the crap out of me. No disrespect to the Polynesian players what so ever.

Not sure about Stmar, but definitely the first two.

Josiah Pahulu signed with storm effective immediately

Were we ever even a look in?

Were we ever even a look in?

More than likely not.

 

[mattw5]

What are we doing seriously!

 

[KingFlanno7]

Not sure about Stmar, but definitely the first two.

I've never once said I want Young as head coach would rather Mary back before Young

 

[I'm Hornby]

Pahulu is already in serious negotiations with Melbourne and Newcastle.

As usual with our ridiculous recruitment, we are a day late and a dollar short.

Two-way battle breaks out for certain-to-leave Titans prop

The prop is off-contract at the end of the year.

Once again I pointed this out on Saturday evening that Pahulu was in talks with Melbourne. It is well reported in the media and not some 'inside Intel'.

I don't blame folks for getting excited though as our recruitment under this coach is so piss poor, as soon as name gets thrown out there, people are jumping up and down in anticipation.

Anyway we might get the next one and good to see 'we're attempting to' be active in the market for forwards, that's a relief.

 

[TheRev]

Tough team to compete with.. storm must have some forwards being pushed out though.

 

[BIG RIG]

Dragons were too late to the party for Pahulu , was already deep in negotiations with Melbourne before we even entered the race

Kamakamica has an option in his contract for '26. Although I don't think he gives us exactly what we need on field, he's still going okay and the main thing would be that from all reports he's a very good professional. Currently, the young forwards don't really see this level of professionalism from another forward when they come in to training every day.

Says he has a Club Option for 2026.. surely the storm will take that up, therefore he cant be talking to any other club?

NAS is more the one we know is on the outer there, but he also has a damn long contract, a Mutual Option in 2028.

The thing is we still have a lot of funds for 2025 to spend yet.. but who is out there thats on big coin that will leave in the next 4 weeks?
