Stanley's legs are more brittle then the piece of chalk Mrs Marsh used to snap to demonstrate how good colgate toothpaste is..
dont count on him being anything more then a half decent utility player..
Has everyone given up on our up and coming halves, like Style, Drinkwater, Quinlan and Cummins? I think Stanley offers alot, and he is over-due to stay injury free for a while.
Louie, I've definitely given up on Style -- too seriously injured at too important a period of his career development. Wish him well, nothing against him, but Elvis has left the building. Drinkwater has looked reserve grade quality playing reserve grade. So he's good enough for cover only. Quinlan and Cummins have potential, but even if they fulfil it they look like they're a couple of years off to me.
We definitely have to buy TWO halves who are good enough to get us into the top four in 2014. We might have bought one in Chase. Then there are Carney and Widdop on the market and we have to get one of them. As well as Chase. Also. Two halves.
That's before we buy at least one centre and a fullback or two centres.
What the Club did well in the days of Brown was to have juniors ready for an introduction to first grade.
Unfortunately at this time we have a gap in first grade ready juniors and so the need to recruit from outside the club. I really hope there is enough cap left to extend the contracts of Cummins and Quinlan. I'm sure they will increasing get their opportunities as replacements for injuries and rep committed players. They will increasingly put pressure on the Dragons backline players and that is a good thing.

From not being able to sign a bar of soap, to quiet possibly signing both English halves! Throw in the AXE JT and things are looking good indeedNow were is Dugan going I wonder?
