Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Could be an unpopular opinion but if Mitchell Moses signed and he’s our 7 instead of Wakeham with our whole team fit we’re a top 6 side.

I truely believe it - we have the ship we just need someone to steer it
I get your point and yes Moses would make a massive difference. I also don't want to change much with the team.

However, we have several issues aka halves, centre/centres, bench, squad depth. We are not a club that superstar players will go to. Every team will get injuries in a season and we don't have the players to come in and do the job. Whilst players like Tupou, Pole, Matamua, Da Silva etc are going to be great they're not seasoned first graders yet and I think we'll be much stronger in a few years when these kids are confident
 
Ben Hunt wants to return to Queensland immediately however he has held discussions with the Bulldogs in recent weeks.

The Titans are ready to strike with a $900,000 a year offer. Hunt’s current million dollar deal at the Dragons dips below that next season. Hunt is not the only player dissatisfied at the Dragons. The likes of Jack Bird, Jaydn Su’A and Zac Lomax have also expressed their concerns to their club management. (DT)

I'd put my money on the Dolphins, uncle Wayne is scheming in the background no doubt.
 
to quote you "Then we got rid of bad forwards and went and got some good ones, and it made no difference to Brooksy's game, but then this year contract finishes" so in the same year we got better forwards, they made no difference, its only because its a contract year. I'd say it is just as likely, if not more likely that he has improved because of the improved forward pack.
So why the bloody hell did he not show improvement last year.

If Hunt goes to the Titans I’d go for Tannan Boyd goes 100mph and can kick goals.

I agree but I feel like injuries are playing a factor, our team as a whole next year looks like this:

1. Jahreem Bula
2. David Nofoaluma
3. Stafford To’a
4. Adam Doeuihi (personal opinion)
5. Junior Tupou
6.
7.
8. Stefano Utoikmano
9. Api Korisau
10. David Klemmer
11. Isaiah Papalili
12. Shawn Blore
13. John Bateman

14. TDS
15. Alex Twal
16. Justin Matamua
17. Fonua Pole

Depth: Charlie Staines, Asu, Naden, Feledy, Atasi James, Rua, Simpkins, Christian Ma’anaimo (recall him having big wraps) and Saukuru


Our squad looks good, but there’s a reason I left out the 6 and 7 they’re the make or break for our club to do something productive and make a statement
 
In terms of our team as a whole

You’re got 2 front teeth missing from your list, who’s going to fill those spots?

Club is apparently shopping Blore and Nofo.

No guarantee AD returns - at all.

I'd be expecting a very different line-up come 2024.
