Tyrell Signs

[Old Kogarah Boy 1]

How exactly would that work, given he came from the panthers?

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.

 

[Old Kogarah Boy 1]

He is the replacement for Lachlan Maranta

By the sounds of it, he may be related to the Stanley brothers.
They had a wretched run of luck with injuries thorughtout their careers and it sounds like this young fella has as well. He's biggest hurdle will be McIdiot giving him a crack at 1st grade.

Well, till April at least.......................

 

[Auntie.Gerald]

No knee injuries I believe
So different
Ankle injuries

 

[Gareth67]

I cringe whenever we sign someone who has been held back by injury. Can't help feeling it will be another Kyle Stanley, Mose Masoe, Dan Hunt etc.

At least he will be cheap.

Did you have to mention Mose Masoe ? I was waiting for him to play a first grade match , just one , but no the big ox had to go and do his knee in - twice for pity sake .

However back to Fuimaono , he has speed and size a great combination for a forward and the icing on the cake is he is still young . As others have said hopefully the man is over his injuries and will bulk up a bit more and who knows - we could very well have ourselves another Tyson Fizell on the books .

 

[Dragonslayer]

Fuimaono has some talent and not the worst signing we've made recently. Wether he will play as a forward or a back is yet to be determined.
My money is on him in the backs.

Is there any chance the club could sign a current first grade player who isn’t injury riddled and/or isn’t looking for a final pay cheque?

St George Illawarra have announced Tyrell Fuimaono has signed with the Dragons on a two-year deal.

Fuimaono – who is capable of playing a number of positions – joins the Dragons until at least the end of the 2021 NRL Telstra Premiership season.

The 23-year-old former Rabbitoh and Panther has played 26 first grade games to date and is a welcomed addition to the Dragons' Top 30 squad.

The former Australian Schoolboy and 2016 member of the Holden Cup Under-20s Team of the Year commenced training with the Red V on Monday.

"I'm very excited to get among this group of boys and I'm keen to seize this opportunity that has been presented to me. I'm very grateful and excited to be at the Dragons," Fuimaono said.

"I'm looking to get back to my best footy and hopefully make my way into the NRL team. That's what everyone at this level strives to achieve; to become a consistent fixture in first grade will be really good for me."

Director of Rugby League Pathways Ian Millward said he was excited to see Fuimaono don the Dragons' colours following an injury-disrupted previous two years.

"Tyrell has faced a number of injury challenges in recent seasons, but with age on his side we're excited to see him hopefully reach his potential at our club," Millward said.

"He is capable of playing in the back row and the centres which will be fantastic for the wider squad's versatility and depth.

"With fellow young forwards such as Jacob Host, Josh Kerr and Jackson Ford pushing for first grade spots, Tyrell will add another dimension in the competition for spots leading into the season ahead."

Fuimaono joins Trent Merrin, Issac Luke and Brayden Wiliame as the Dragons' recruits so far ahead of the 2020 season.

Has he jointed Norths?

No, Dragons.

What club do you support again?

 

[Saint_JimmyG]

No, Dragons.

What club do you support again?

The Dragons.

How about yourself?

 

[muzby]

The Dragons.

How about yourself?

North Sydney.

 

[RedVDragon]

Good signing. Maybe a Phil Gould appointment

 

[SnowDragon]

Am I imagining it or is he down on size? I get the feeling he needs some training and game time in cc... but from highlights he seems to have some potential. Interested if he will play center or edge? (I’d suggest we need a centre more, but he will be and edge eventually if not directly)

 

[Old Timer]

With this signing what does that mean for the rumour that we might still retain Kaufusi?

 

[Saint_JimmyG]

North Sydney.

It explains a lot.

 

[2010]

Compared to some of our recent pickups over the last few seasons he could turn out to one of the better buys
He does have a good pass and not to slow

Why do you say he’s joined norths?

Where was the good story though?

A replacement for Lafai.

Not happening I hope OT better to have a young bloke like him, than a older bloke like Latimore
