Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Rothfield reporting Tigers are the favourites to sign Jayden Sullivan for next season.

Depending on price, I think he's a great option as a bench utility/back-up half, but not as a first-choice starter.

Thought he already had signed with the Dogs

They've apparently eased off pursuing him after they got Sexton from the Gold Coast.

I like that, gives Fainu time and competition.
Good pairing next to Sezer if Sezer is actually signed.

I've never really rated him as a week-in, week-out starting half in the NRL but he provides a heap of impact as a bench player; covers the halves and hooker.

Would be dependent on price, but is a good backup/bench option IMO.

The Dragons rebuild is well and truly underway, with one young star given permission to leave the club, while a veteran will make an immediate transfer to the UK.

St George Illawarra have granted highly-rated halfback Jayden Sullivan permission to negotiate with rival clubs effectively immediately.

Sullivan met incoming coach Shane Flanagan on Wednesday and was told he was free to look elsewhere.

Sullivan’s manager Mario Tartak is now shopping the Dragons local junior to rival clubs, including Canterbury, Wests Tigers, and Newcastle.

While the Bulldogs appeared certain to sign him, coach Cameron Ciraldo has eased off after securing Toby Sexton from the Gold Coast.

The Tigers are now odds-on favourites to secure him.

Sullivan’s pay packet is in the $500,000 a season range and the Dragons may have to contribute to his next contract to make the halfback a more attractive option to rivals.

He had two more years left on his current deal.

I posted on here that Sullivan was making way for Kyle and that the Tigers still wanted another halves player besides Seizers expected arrival so does make sense. Sullivan is twice the player as Wakeham so I’d prefer him as our backup option for 7.

We actually wanted him 1-2 years ago but as I recall he re-signed at the Dragons. Plans change though as Shane wants his son at 7.

Laurie replacement eh...

All but gone I'd say.

Tartak client….for sure he will be pushed onto the tigers

S.Flanagan will be linched if he bring his son to the dragons…Kyle is barely a step above Wakeham as a 7

lomax is on 800k not worth 800k

Believe what you want, but contract numbers in the media are make believe.

If you actually sit down and calculate what each team is paying each player based on media reports every team is over the cap by about 2 million dollars.

Lomax's contract before he was dropped was $650 and has magically increased to $700 since he has returned.

Will be on $800 before the year ends.

Lomax will be on $2,000,000/week by the end of next week I reckon.

Well we know now where the coach's son will be in 2024.

Would walk straight into our side, without a problem.
He is precisely what we need, big center, fast, great off load and a ton of ability, its a YES from me.

Yes I would secure him ona 3 year deal. , Drags to kick in $100 to $ 150 k per season next 2 years

 

[426Tlgerland]

Fitzgibbon will not release his players under contract.

He won’t have a choice if we offer the right coin , players managers make shit happen , but with Sullivan now on market may not need him

Not saying Buzz's mail is 100% accurate but it's funny how Tartak didn't want any of his players at the WT last week. Now he's probably putting the big sell on us to please take Sullivan hahaha #TheGame

Knowing managers, he's probably saying "You got a great deal with the Fainu brothers, now it's time to pay back the favour"!

I've been impressed with Sullivan in NSW Cup but he's been very inconsistent in NRL, tends to drift in and out and looks to portray a bad attitude at times.

But maybe as others have said, he'd been great as a #14 to cover halves & hooker (allows Tallyn to play NSW Cup 80 mins & can swap out with Latu Fainu some weeks at 5/8).

I disagree. I think he is absolutely an NRL-calibre halfback who has been given next to no chance in the top grade as a 7. give him a preseason and the opportunity to string together consistent performances in his preferred position and I think you would see a far better outcome than what is being seen at St George.
