Maybe Luciano can get a little fitter in the off season, and find a way in there, He and Holmes are good together on that left edge.

Honestly forgot about him. It becomes a conundrum who you leave out.. good problem to have

 

[RedVee]

Don’t try again

Agree.

Yes they did. If you going to lie, make sure no one else knows the truth. 360, and a few podcasts have mentioned it.

Oh no, you've caught me out trying to lie. My point is, i don't watch every minute of 360 or listen to every podcast. But i do keep in touch with the NRL news cycle, daily, and i didn't hear about it until 3 days afterwards. Did it get the same level of airtime as the relentless harassment of the Flanagans or their agenda against Gould? No. They might've mentioned it mate, but only barely. Show me a Fox Sports article about him or that other grub Paul Kent and their respective indiscretions and I'll show you 10 Fox Sports articles about a trainer walking in front of a goalkicker (in the very same week, mind you. Fox Sports is a toxic bro culture of bullies. Do you celebrate them?

Tigers uped their offer
He is not sacrificing $300K to stay at the Tigers
Fact

Only $200K now

 

[Inisai Toga]

It’s logical that the party’s (us) enticing him away from his set structure (Tigers) will pay more due to the disruption etc…
Can’t understand the narrative around ‘the player decided to stay for less” In many cases makes perfect sense! Has to be a good sell to change..

 

[St Tangles]

Only $200K now

If you beleive the papers
It's much closer than that

 

[Auntie.Gerald]

Only $200K now

which is only $100k net ($50k pa approx each year)

Guler is starting to show a bit of promise. He’s worth hanging around for another year. There’s a bit of size and offloading with him & Kerr

agree
we are playing some players to build their game as well as not having many other alternatives
optimistically I think Kerrs 42 games last two season and Gulers season (12 gams so far) here at the Dragons brings a new baseline of performance and expectation for 2026

Great decision by the club … we are heading in the right direction.

Hopefully the coach couches can give it a rest now, just goes to show how out of alignment they are with the club and the bulk of the fans.

is it too much to hope Haran ‘resigns for a better opportunity’?

Trey Mooney also impressed with a game-high of 170 running metres and 33 tackles — one miss. It was a timely performance given it was reported last week that he has been given permission to talk to rival clubs for next season.

Just watching 7 news - Shane Flanagan extended for a further 2 years ! As Donald the Frump would say - great news - great , great .

Personally I am most pleased , he is quite able to take the Big Red V into the semis , he merely requires the appropriate players to do so .

Extension of Flanagan's tenure is a positive move, players and prospective recruits like to know the coaching role is not a merry go round.

Only problem is prospective players have avoided Flanno like the plague.
Just saying.

 

[Murfy]

Anyone know if we are even chasing Trey Mooney? Been a bit quiet around him outside of the Knights info

That's not entirely correct.... It is more complex...in a nutshell we no longer pay overs....Player managers have had a field day in the past.

The other factor is we have been a rabble since Wayne left....ship is starting to be corrected....just look at the dogs...Gould originally said 5 year plan and everybody laughed after 5 years ....but look at them now...

We are still probably 3 years away from being Top 8 side....I have more faith in Flanno than any other coach we recruited after Wayne.

I would love to know if we are seriously chasing him.. have heard crickets.. other than him touring the Knights facilities which is an indication they are seriously after him to replace Leo Thompson.

We did sign Kerr also, but hopefully we are after Mooney as hes coming into his prime and I dont think we will find better.. I mean we could maybe land an Uele or a NAS but they are very much risks even though theyr bigger bodies.. I dont think we need a crazy big dude.. I think we can easily makle things work with Couchmans and Mooney and co.. and work for 8-10yrs..
