Why won’t they sign with us?

Our no 7 walked out last season. In the halfback merry go round this season, from memory:
-DCE to roosters
-Fogarty to Manly
- Sandon Smith to Knights
-Galvin to Dogs
-Sexton to super league
- Metcalf re-signed
- Pezet to Eels/Broncos
I’ve probably missed some others. However, the question that needs to be answered, where the hell were the Dragons in all this? What’s going on? We lose our only 2 origin players last season and we are not even in the conversation for one of those 7’s? The excuse is “ohh, you know, there aren’t any marquee 7’s on the market.” Bullcrap, these other clubs, who by the way, all finished above is this season, can see value in these 7’s. Something is not right here. I’ve never seen a club struggle as much as the Dragons in signing players, even the Tigers, Knights and Titans seem to be able that recruit better.
The answer is, Flanno thinks Kyle is all we need at 7 but Kyle is a 14 at best.

I think we are going to offer huge dollars for Tino 1.6m a season just my gut feeling. Not saying it will get him over the line but it will be an offer to make him uncomfortable

It will probably take something like this to make the first domino fall. It can backfire of course (I'm looking at you Ben Hunt), but until a big name comes here I don't think the Dragons are seen as a great destination.

Thick is exactly what they are, but they have very high opinions of themselves and are totally deluded.

The saviour Daniel Atkinson.
There will be so much pressure on Atkinson to turn things around, I don't think he alone is enough.
Looks like Kyle will be our 7 next year going off what Flano said in podcast.
Lets hope with a preseason at 7 Kyle can learn something about game management.
