Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Yes I just checked it myself, and im sure he was on field wrongly obviously in one of those games at Leichardt in 1979 and Balmain lost comp points as well, but if my old age has the better of my memory, what does it matter, we know points were lost, lets see if the NRL stick to the original rules and strip Souths points. Not likely but if it was us or one of the other lesser thought of teams we would be stripped.

THATS ALL I WAS GETTING AT.
IRRESPECTIVE OF MICK PLAYING FOR WEST OR BALMAIN.

Did he have a brother, because I was at Leichardt oval when this one happened, if you were at belmore and he was playing for West it would have been against Canterbury West were playing, and im a Balmain supporter, what I saw was at leichardt I was definately not at Belmore.

Sorry Dennis I must have the games mixed
up . The game I remember was against Canterbury at belmore .The memory's not to good these days
 
In fairness to Hastings who had a try assist early .His half's partner Ponga had what was probably the worst half's performance seen in years 10 missed tackles errors etc
So much so that I worried Ponga might still be suffering from previous knocks .Got to be hard and Parra were on fire . Moses was great .
In general knights were so poor I would not look there for any potential recruits
Q how many try assists has Brooks had this year ?
Hastings has 9

My thoughts also.He was still calling for the ball on almost every play,not once did I see their 9 look up and say “what are we doing”

Not a Brooks fan but to clarify according to the nrl Hastings has had 4 in 9 games and Brooks has had 1 in 7. Neither shooting the lights out in that category

There are a couple of examples of teams being stripped of points for fielding 14 players. During the NRL era:

the Dogs lost points for 14 men on the field in 2009 v the Panthers; and

the Cowboys lost points in 2000 v the Eels .

That's the precedent. Let's see if the NRL wriggles out of this one.

Dragons board/management are the worst in the league (yes even behind us) don't let the media fool you, Hunt and the club are extremely offside and the only thing holding them together is Griffen. Hunt was lowballed 700k for his extension (500k pay cut) and didn't take that great esp with the raised salary cap, they did come together and agree to a figure closer to 850k but there's a bit of heat between both parties. The fact no one turned up to the clubs presentation night speaks a thousand words.

They're pretty close to bringing Shane Flanagan to the club and sacking Griffen and when this happens expect Hunt to go and Kyle to come in - with Amone, Sullivan and Kyle to fight it out

Hunt took a meeting from the Dogs late last year and is keen to stay in Sydney as he's raising his own family and just bought a property too.

Add an extra year and match his salary and he'll come imo - he'll be 35 by the end of the 3 year deal which isn't bad at all, for anyone questioning his skill set go watch SOS game 3.... get it done

ROFL, were not going to sign DCE.

Ofcourse I wonder how DCE will go as NR6. Clearly we know who runs the club and which coach will be axed soon.

But hey, all kudos to Shane Flanagan. He has turned that team around. It isn't like Siebold is unfamiliar with a head coach getting knifed.

Which recalls me to an earlier board decision. Madge was reappointed head coach, and quickly at that at the end of 2021/start of 2022. There were 2x assistants appointed, Nathan Cayless and Gardiner. Shane Flanagan did apply for the assistant job.

Does everyone here agree that Shane Flanagan should have been given the nod then? If not head, at least as assistant?
Yes 100% he was going to knife Madge then. Yes I actually get the board ducking those shenanigans. That said, had Shane taken the assistant position we would have seen basic skills and other practices being done right. Okay we would have seen Brooks or Doueihi punted for Kyle F... still not seeing a problem here.
