Stewart out for year. Club taking cautious approach considering he’s had 3 HIA’s this year

Fair call, given the teams position on the ladder it's not worth risking anyone, even Sua.

Thought this would be the case, combined with the fact that all 3 from the warriors game were genuine Cat 1's.. I never see Jack rocked usually and he gets his a fair bit.

Sele I think will be back if he passes protocol next week given how little footy he has played this year, and Jack is pretty tough and probably also back assuming he can pass protocols..

Any one who believes we have any chance of us signing Tino, "believes in fairies at the bottom of the garden"

We have a good bunch of young forwards coming through. We only need a player like Tino to complete our forward pack. If, for some reason, we miss the opportunity to sign Tino, like with AFB, we need to keep the money aside for such a player and keep trying.

Star Dragons rookie ruled out for the remainder of 2025​

DCE would have been a perfect fit.. but the way its played out, there is no path where he ends up playing at a club other than the Roosters now.. and on top of that he probably will retire instead...

Saw this morning Savala is on 85k.. DCE 1mill.. jesus... obv Savala needs a big upgrade.

Stick around, you’ll learn the Rorters are saying but surely if we offer 600k but he stays , it sends an another example that the salary cap is a sham.

Was overdue a spell in my opinion.

Stewart seems close, not sure about gutho to 13. I reckon Stewart will play wing before transition to fb

Didn’t Anderson say on podcast we’d have to offload Sloan before thinking of Stewart?

Yep said we couldn't carry 3 fullbacks in the 30, realistically I think if the one we buy was haWt enough to dominate at wing its another story..

Chevy is very much a roll of the dice... speculative kid who just turned 20 who may prove no better than Sloan.. different if someone else has already put 20 first grade games into them and they showed some growth.

It’s the mole, he’s probably just found the article from weeks ago and put his own spin on it

Im curious re Chevy and if we can help Ilias to another club?

Fullback to Half we have seen a fair few transition and do it very well. He does look like he could play 5/8 well. Very natural stepper, hard line runner for his build and jack out of the box creative. Bit of a Tedesco look at same age they way he moves and jinks to gain extra metres for a fast play of the ball.

Lockyear
Sowie
Hornby
Hughes
Hynes

to name a handful all made it. Many dont though.

I wonder what Ando sees given his speciality is middles and halves?

It sounded like he was more keen than less keen when on the Podcast.........he did dance a little around talking about Chevy though.

Chevy would have plenty of time to craft his game at 5/8 in ressies in 2026 and be ready when really needed and or injuries strike FG. .......Especially given Reed coming through more so 2027 and not many options for 2026/27 on the market?

2026 ?

Chevy Stewart

The NRL profile of Chevy Stewart including career statistics, season stats, games, tries, goals, tackles and fantasy scores.

just turned 20yrs old last month

I havent seen a 19yr old (as at 2024 high lights below) that looks more like Teddy at same age.

Especially how he is used one off the ruck for quick play of the balls........watch last 45 seconds as per below. His low centre of gravity (182cm / 88kg) really hits those angled lines in behind the ruck

There's no way Flanno moves Gutho to 13.

Gutho is not a middle defender. Never played there in his career. And he’s old and busted already.

Absolute sandpit suggestion from these gronks.

we will probably have more data after tomorrow nights game lol

 

[Gippsy]

I think gutho will be fine at fullback if he has some pace around him in the backs. I'd rather him back there organising the defence and acting as a link to his outside backs. But, we need that pace.

Yep agree. That part was BS HAHAHA

Those French Dragons are doing well in the recruitment space.
Sandon Smith still appears to be on the Dragons's radar as a possible new signing.
Now we have Anderson as Head of Recruitment, it will be his call as to how strongly we pursue him, more so having also known all about him from his days at the Roosters, and just as importantly how much he is worth paying for.
