Keaon has the same manager as AFB.
Not sure how relations ended up between Flano & Tyran Smith post AFB negotiations.
that was my thought.. though its still a question of whether we were just being played to increase his value during that AFB negotiation, or cronulla really did just come in late..

Regardless I dont know how keen we actually are on Keaon.. be incredible if we're not given the lack of other options.. but yet to even hear a journo say we are chasing yet.

Channel 7 News just had a story about Holbrook starting at Newcastle today, said he was there with Asst Coaches Dean Young and someone.

So Deano has moved on?

Previous posters have linked Bula to the Bulldogs where his management could be selling his reunion with Galvin in a new spine. The positive for us could be Connor Tracy being released to accommodate Bula and I would definitely take him over the increasingly ponderous Gutherson. Gutherson to No 13.

Gutho to 13 makes about as much sense as Tui to prop 🥴

What was Trent Merrin thinking


Former Dragons premiership winner Trent Merrin has been charged with allegedly stealing $140,000 in cryptocurrency after police raided his Wollongong home.

Brent Read showing his colours once again.
A bad story about a former Dragons player Trent Merrin - "Former Dragons premiership winner...."

Yet on 23/10/25 he wrote a positive story about a Dragons player Lachlan Ilias saving a drowning tourist - "Gold Coast bound halfback...." and not one mention that he plays for the Dragons.

Poor Brent - he will never emerge from MC's shadow!

Yep agreed he definitely learnt that s**t out west when he played for Penrith.

I really don't get this love of players to want to go to the Dogs. It is a transit lounge for players, as soon as you have a bad game or 2 you are cut from the side, Gould has not been at a club and won anything since the Roosters early 2000. Penrith won everything once he left as he was off Ivan and brought in Hook. Wow.....And Ciraldo showed how poor a coach he is. He is a cheque book coach. When it comes to the big games has won none and wants all big name players to win games as he has not got the smarts to develop. Look at Alamoti, Averilo etc. Got rid of these juniors and brought in others.

Tino would surely choose the Storm if he had the choice over the Dogs which it looks like he has that option as they are keen. Saints are just there to bump pup his price tag. Same with the Bears.

The Dragons need top-grade players for the following positionsL
Fullback - not identified as yet.
Winger - Bostock should bave been brought home to the Dragons.
Halfback - Kyle will have to do until Reed replaces him.
Prop - The most important. Tino is our man and we should offer 1.3m + at TPA of 300k—4-year deal and Captain.
I'm sorry, but we need to stop giving the captaincy to mercenaries.

Widdop left, McCinnes left, Hunt left, Gutho and Cook are on their retirement plan.

The next captain of the Dragons should be someone that bleeds red and white. Who'd never think of leaving.

Tino, whilst a good leader is no captain. Left the storm for Money and has since spent every year at the Titans in speculation about whether he is leaving or not. It is about what clubs can do for him, not what he can do for this proud club.

Club first. Always.

Hornby was the last great captain of the Dragons.

Next captain should be grown from within. Groom them. Make them earn it.

Egan would be my candidate.

Young to Newcastle is the best news I've had for a long time. I wonder who is our other assistant, Enis adn ?
