Saying that his defence is terrible, and then putting him at 6 must be a joke right? Teams would rip his edge to shreds. I don't mind the idea for attack, but to have him in the defensive line simply wouldn't work. On the small chance we do sign him, he'd play fullback. Gutho will play centre, with Holmes to the wing.
Fullback is a lonely place when defending. Maybe Dean Young can stop twiddling and develop a defensive plan to address this problem.

It (the 10-year ban) is absolutely enforceable. Our legal position is strong. We have consulted our legal team. We wouldn’t have announced this ban unless we had solid legal vision.
“I have said we will ban players and agents for 10 years and what we promise, we follow through on


Of course justice in Australia is about who has the deepest pockets.

Why don't we offer Purdue a Motza (when we are legally allowed to). He is the star in that Cowboys backline and as a spine player (fullback), we improve our spine which is what is required to be top 4. Moving forward, a spine of Purdue, Reed, Atkinson and Liddle (chase Healey from Warriors or Mozer from Broncs) and you have a young, awesome spine for a long period.

Donald Trump has just tweeted about the Dragons:


AMAZING season by the St George Illawarra Dragons in 2025 — really something SPECIAL. Would have been so INCREDIBLE if cheating referees and bunker officials – more incompetent than anything seen from the Biden Administration - did not cheat the team out of EIGHT winning games where they manufactured losses by a converted try or less. Now, a lot of fans are saying the close games were “interesting,” let’s just say that. Some VERY questionable calls — people talking about it everywhere! Didn’t always go the Dragons’ way, that’s for sure. But even with that, the team fought hard and came out looking STRONGER than ever.

So much winning, folks! The team played with heart, strength, and unbelievable drive. And Kyle Flanagan? SO GOOD. Really stepped up — smart, tough, totally underrated. Many people saying he had his BEST season ever!

And that HUGE win over the filthy Melbourne Storm — absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Total domination. The Storm couldn’t believe what was happening. Dragons were firing on ALL cylinders — incredible to watch! Many are calling it one of the greatest performances the Dragons have EVER had. The Storm didn’t know what hit them! Total victory. Total success. Dragons fans are VERY happy (and they should be!).

A really amazing season — maybe the start of something BIG! Some might say the start of another real DYNASTY – none of that loser PENRIFF “dynasty” 🐉🔥

Can’t see it happening but Drinkwater would be a terrific signing. Sure he has some defensive issues but his speed over 40 is dangerous as which is a requirement in today’s game.
Not comparing him ability wise but there’s been plenty of seriously good players such as Lockyer, Thurston, Benji etc who had trouble with defence at times.

His defensive issues cant be too bad. He didn't make the nrl stat list in the top 50 for missed tackles. No dragon did. I guess it doesn't count tackles you dont get close to though!!

Interesting article, Thanks for sharing @getsmarty.

In Zacs case it would be interesting should he return & not be banned how his contract situation with the eels pans out.
Should they say nah we’ve moved on does he then have to sit out the remainder of his contract with them.
Karma
I think I read something that Zac cant play nrl until his contract runs out end 28 eels put it when they released him

Your a clown Gareth . You would be a Albo fan.
Complete Moron
Well ,if having a bit of a laugh at my own expense and being a avid supporter of my mate Anthony makes me a moron then you must be correct .

I have no idea how long you have been on this forum however to criticise a bloke for having a sense of humour then I can only imagine that you must be one of the more spiteful members, in fact one whom perhaps is rather insecure and whom gets upset quite easily - in other words a rather emotional little key board warrior who can throw the shat himself as long as none is directed back at him .

But I shall leave it at that and use a quotation of a most distinguished member of our little group he would often use when replying to a know - all little cretin such as yourself- “ have a nice day “ .

Ten year ban is total BS they said the same thing about SBW when he left and not only did they welcome him back with open arms they verbally blew him at every opportunity. NRL is full of crap and have double standards for everything we all know this.
