Signed to the ESL. I was keen on him earlier in the year

 

[possm]

He got 3yrs though.. thats what pi**es me off.. we had him verbally signed for 2yrs.. then the titans give in and offer 3.. I just hope they dont find a buyer (ESL or otherwise) because the Titans should be punished for making that deal for 2 more years @700k per season.

To be honest RCG improves us in 2026, but wouldnt go there now, 2025 was the year we really needed him.. the Tits just dont need him because they have 2 qld middles already.. but they didnt need him this year either...

We have some good young props and a few journeymen under contract for 2026. We must have salary cap funds for 2026, given the low cost players in our squad. So, let the club put a great effort into offloading players we don't want ahd buying at least a marquee prop for 2026.

I would be happy if we aimed for a 17 that looks like the list below:
1. Marquee Fullback
2. Lawson
3. Gutherson
4. Homes
5. CT
6. LKT
7. Atkinson
8. T Couchman
9. Liddle
10. LPT
11. Truck
12. Su'A
13. Stewart

14. Flanagan
15. Egan
16. Stewart
17. R Couchman

You don't rate either of the Couchman twins? also Aitkin and Kerr not in your team?
I am also not sure that Gutherson has the speed any more for the centre position nor is his tackling good enough.
If Dragons go into next season with LKT and Flanagan as the halves then the spoon is beckoning.

I know this maybe a dumb thought but if we cant get a suitable winger then why not play feagi at centre with Val outside on the wing

On NRL 360 Brent Reid mentioned there are unhappy players at the Dragons. Buzz skirted around the issue because he is mates with coach Flanno but you could see he knew about the issue.
Anyone know exactly what the issue is?
For 15 years we have taken 2 steps forward and 3 steps back.
The club/brand is slowly being killed off from within - meanwhile us supporters (the lifeblood of the team) are powerless to do anything about it.

Id say where there is smoke there is fire, but what a dumb move to extend the coach before seeing what the first 6/8 rounds of next year bring us.

It’s not true . Reid guessing headlines again

Kyle needs to be moved on not 1 game this season has he been dropped to Nsw cup or last season.
Players aren't happy its showing in the last 3 games look out for panthers game 50 .0 .

 

[Get2dachopper!]

We simply cannot go into another off-season umming and ahhing about who our 6 and 7 are going to be. And it can’t be Flanno at 7.

Agree probably the worst article ever

not even a mention of a chat

just a hunch and a rumour with no substance

but either way a lot of work to be done to get this side back into the top8

Glad they’re unhappy, they are in 15th position. These wankers on NRL 360 are paid to stir the pot.

Yes you are right. I have corrected the errors and now include both Coucchman boys and Atkinson. Regarding Gutherson, there are very few positions for which he would be suitable; however, for now, he is better than Suli and can tackle effectively, as well as make a good pass when setting up his winger.

Well that’s what we get for not playing Braiths boy, story based on ”I guess” lol

I'd be guessing the rumours are true, & it relates to the #7, can't remember if it was Gutho, or someone else, earlier in the year mentioning Kyle needs to do better, not long after Illias had been dropped. So it may well have been a known fact, that was deflected onto Reid to bring up, from Anasta via Illias/Cook.

We need absolute speed for once, on the wing.
I'm putting all my chips on Ramsay, a future try scoring & try saving legend, aka Nightingale....

as much as i would love to see ramsay make it back to first grade i cant see it happening

NRL 360 is literally home and away for the NRL. If you believe any of the bias and very obviously loaded shit that they spout you need to reassess your life choices. Those Fox parasites literally get paid to BS.

 

[Dragonssupporter]

So he hasn’t actually heard anything but thought he should say it anyway. His opinion is there must be player unrest despite not talking to anyone about it. Typical gutter press making up things and then creating a story around it. Try sticking to facts you idiot. So sick of this sort of reporting

True that and they had no idea. It was obvious he hadn't even spoken to anyone. "I guess things aren't good they aren't going so good this year so I am guessing its not good" They had absolutely no idea and were digging.
