who should we be looking after june 30th

[jason taylor]

Who should we buy.(besides) lyon

 

[parralight]

1. A forward - possibly a front rower who hates losing.
Mark O Meley would be a good buy.
2. Someone who will be a good leader

 

[Eelementary]

I think we only need one player. I don't know who he is, but we need a tough, no-nonsense prop who makes metres and has good defence.

 

[James_Hardie]

Some decent coaching staff. I hope the rumors of Andrew Farrer are just rumors. Apart from a deporturous run at St George, he is the assistant coach at Wigan at the moment (who are stone motherless last)! Hardly inspiring.

 

[Twizzle]

we dont have much money to fork out, I cant see us spending much

we gotta concentrate on holding onto our juniors

 

[Parra Guru]

I'd say the Dragons won't be able to keep their front row.

They have quality forwards, someone like Poore or Sims would do nicely.

 

[strider]

A tough prop and if we don't turn out a good option at 5/8 by the end of the year, then one of them too

 

[Eelementary]

But what if our Juniors can't hack it?

Then we need a proven performer to fall back on JUST in case.

I wouldn't mind if we got someone like Simms.

 

[Morenito]

Pritchard?

Though we seem to have plenty of backrowers...

Hindmarsh
Pritchard
Morrison

 

[jayman]

wat... from my understanding.. i thought we had alot of money.. between letting ash, chalky, cannings, morris, peterson, stringer and burt too .. i thought the figure was near 1million or more.. not sure wat stringer and burt were on.. .. plus another 300gs on the current salary cap....

even if lyon takes around 300gs..i thought we'd have alot of money.. even ontop of any new contracts to ben and delany..

couple of top props.. lyon..juniors and widders for mind..

we might need some money next yr when riddell and co come of contract (not sure when)... dont tahu morrison riddell and marsh come of at the same time...??..i think by then.. wagon and vella would be gone...so theres money there too

I'd say the Dragons won't be able to keep their front row.

I don't mind Poore.

But Bailey is leaving so they will be quite keen to keep their forwards.

dont have much to fork out?? geez...what about the money from the 10-12 players we wont be re-signing.....

 

[ParraAds]

Ben Creagh would look fantastic in blue and gold...

anyone know if hes signed with the dragons?

 

[AlexTheEel]

Corey Payne

 

[jayman]

hows our juniour wingers?...ive always felt we needed someone to compliment guru on the wings...

i think we'll be able to attract some quality players..esp if we announce the signing of lyon b4 the 30th... i think alot of people will want to come play under hagan plus play with the likes of morrison, tahu, hindmarsh, grothe, smiths, riddell, marsh, cayless plus lyon..

that star quality alone will attract interest from top players..

 

[Governator]

Has anyone got a copy of that article from Big League from the start of the year showing everyone who is off contract???

Or has anyone got a list which shows??

 

[jayman]

how about a list of parra players coming of contract and how much they are on.. showing us how much we can spend

 

[James_Hardie]

Corey Payne

Don't say that too loud. He is the Luke Burt equivalent for Dragons fans (i.e the one many supporters want gone). And to be honest i can understand why, he has awful hands and is an average defender.

 

[jayman]

wat about some of the cowboy props.. any coming of contract this yr?..wat about kennedy..backrower.. isnt he good mates with tahu.. heard they havent offered him a contract yet..and manly are having problems..

dragons might be able to hang on to most of there players.. gaz barrett and timmins all might be going..that should free up money to get simms etc
