The Rumours Thread

[mattw5]

I could be wrong but isn't he heir apparent for Fogarty?

Soz, I just re-read that it is on the proviso that Ricky gets Pezet...

They are favourites for Pezet too

Two props playing in the GF Sunday without contracts for next Season .......
The Storms Kamikamica and Burleigh Bears Fletcher Baker
Storm are only offering "Kami" around 240 k for next season ..a drop of 160k from this year , while Baker , man of the match in the Brissy grand final last week is also on the lookout
Both are better than we currently have and are worth solid consideration.

Baker ticks a lot of boxes in terms of age and size but I'm a little concerned that two top NRL clubs (Roosters and Broncos) have decided to let him go when he is entering his peak years.

I haven't seen much of Sanders, I think he's only played a couple of first grade games.

I remember when he debuted for Parra.

Do you know much about him mattw5?

Was of the same opinion
His effort in the brissy GF was first rate..Is on show against the Warriors tomorrow
Has all the skills .Might take to being a leader of our young lions coming thru..Better than what we have
Both Storm boys , also , would be more than handy NAS and Kami

Doesn’t do it for me

When it comes to props, we need a marquee prop to lead our pack of young forwards.

We should have him for 2026 and beyond, I am tired of wasing season after season.

Better than our nsw cup props sure. Neither should make our 1st grade side.

NSW Cup Props in Loko and then Liu I think are the next 2 for first grade duties, Liu might just need that extra 2yrs (over the bigger names) to be a real first grader (like most props do). CST I like too but he is also younger and he has 2 guys in Nick and Jacob and perhaps Egan in front... and behind him is Weatherall who I'm still on the fence with.

It sounds like Klemmer is likely to stay, but we will still be chasing 1 more, but it cant be another 19-21yr old who needs to be blooded.. we have enough of those, we need another 25-31yr old who can bend the line.

Hey Rev,
Saw a post on the West Tigers forum about a rumour that the Laulilii brothers, Luke and Kit, were joining the Dragons??
Have you seen or heard anything about them??
One is an outside back, the other a back row forward.
It is news to me if true.

Luke was U19 origin this year I think, so would be a good pick up

His profile says he played a lot of his junior football at fullback, but has to bide his time on the wing because of Bula.
Maybe he is the player being looked at as the possible successor to Gutherson.

Might have parked the Chevy interest then…
Not be a big guy at 175cm.

I havent.. another set of the brothers with that young panthers set also.

I think Chevy might have shat the nest after the fracas the other night

We only need one marquee prop, othereise we will block the pathway for our young forwards:

Luke plays a Brian To’o type role

Luke (19) similar stocky fast off the mark winger / centre 90kg 175cm

Kit - (20) is a very sticky lock and pretty quick also and 105kgs 178cm…… seems to be able to play centre also in ressies

both in the top30 for 2025/26 for the Tigers

so u would guess that means they are top30 for us if they came across to the Dragons?

 

[possm]

We need a marquee prop. Once we land that player, then go for others if required.

Dragons need to get Tino signed by November 1 .
Huge focus on getting it done by Anderson and Watson

Anderson keeps talking 2027, not 2026. But given the number of players moving on, there surely has to be room left in the cap.
