What about Moale or Stewart talking to the Dragons Rig??Ramsey off to Easts spotted at Roosters HQ
Anyone else heard we are after Davy Moale?
Ramsey off to Easts spotted at Roosters HQ
Moale is not the elite prop we are looking for, but he is a solid first grader now.Don’t know much about him or why he fell out of favour but a Souths fan friend rates him & couldn’t understand why he wasn’t getting much game time when available.
Surrounded by a lot better players tooCoaching
It was his defence that was terrible when he was with us. For an athletic guy his lateral defence was amazingly bad at times. Coaching could improve it I guessI thought he was pretty good with us as well. Ran some good lines & showed he had some ability. Put him in a team with strong forwards & few years older & more experienced & bang.
They say Rome wasn't built in a day.
Burns & also Ford are prime examples of players who showed promise but we did not have patience. We let them go & replaced them with???

Yeah need Tom to stay at Manly if we wanted to land Koula.. hopefully the earlier rumour that he was going take a 3 year extension is correct. Makes it way easier to sell the fullback dream to Koula and gives Manly very little wiggle room in terms of how much they can spend to upgrade him. Would be such a top signing, but honestly who knows if our people are even looking at this possibility...I dont think Tom will leave the Eagles, pretty disprespectful act to change the agreed amount though.. esp ur highest profile player too.
I just want Manly to sign him, which I hope increases our chances to land Koula.. too many fullbacks at manly.. any of 1 of em would be huge for us.
Good chance eh , I'd dare say a lot goes on that the public doesn't see or hear. Look what happened with Finau Latu . Here one day gone the next because he wasn't getting a run in first's .You make a lot of sense mate, do you think LKT was promoted ahead of Glover as he was about to sign with Newcastle & they had to bribe him to stay?
Agree on cook , Liddle is an underplayed gun . I also rated Glover . Kyle could have come on for Liddle when he needed a break . I also think LKT has a great has a great future ahead and good skills , but not quite ready physically for first's and it showed . So maybe Kyle could have played a 14 role between 5/8 and 9 giving LKT and Liddle breaks intermittently as Kyle has no problems playing 80 minutes . It would have given LKT A chance to slowly slide into the role instead of just playing him till he was battered which i'm led to believe from what coach Flanagan said in a press conference is exactly what happened . Played with pain killer injections for near on 2 months . But that season is done and Glover is gone so onto the next chapter . Fingers crossed it's better than the last few chapters .I have always rated Glover and seems that Bennett does as well. The halves pairing for 2025 should have bee Glover and LKT. We should not have recruited Cook and if we did not, it would have been Kyle at 14 which is his best position.
So, 2026 would have been Glover with a contest between LKT and Atdinson for the five-eighth position. In 2027, we would have begun to see Reed come into the halfback spot opn a regular basis.
It would have been nice to recruit DCE on a two-year deal (2026-2027) to develop our young halves.
Reed, Atkinson, LKT, and maybe one other to fight it out for the halves spots in 2026. I rate Reed very highly. He could end up being the Dragons rookie of the year in 2026.Agree on cook , Liddle is an underplayed gun . I also rated Glover . Kyle could have come on for Liddle when he needed a break .

Bonded teamMaturity
I have just think we have a history of giving up on players when they are still young, they go elsewhere and eventually turn into good players in time...Bonded team
