Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Imagine the aerial threat in future of Lobb & Willett on wings, Galvin & Tupou centres, Sam Fainu & Haumole backrowers! Bombs away!

Sezer is meant to bring us an attacking kicking game so hopefully we see some wing aerial action

Lobb is definitely an aerial threat but can he defend is my biggest concern with him.

Willett is abit of an athletic freak from all reports, very much an all round quality sports talent.

Galvin and Tupou in the centers scare me somewhat defensively. I don’t think Galvin will end up in the centers but thats me. Both need a few years to get things flowing & with us looking at Olam/Best it’s clear we have a concern around at least 1 center position for the next few years.

Are you referring to their LU forum?
Spend some proper time there. They are a bunch of smug wankers who get very nasty very quickly. I like to stir them up occasionally.

Agree with what you are saying but I suspect @tigermate may have been referring to the "Panthers Pride" web site/Forum.

Wouldn't say that it is overly slick or any better laid out than this Forum which I think is one of, if not the best, but unlike how some players are treated on here, over there the overall theme is of respect and well wishing for Luai with his future.

Definitely not the Bogan type of attitude towards Luai as I am sure many would have expected to see.

Polar opposite types of attitudes that you would expect on somewhere like the Kennel attack dog Forum.

Which of them lit up the NRL recently? Jury is out.

Bud certainly lit up the last time he played against us. Wanted to smack the smug little smart arse in the mouth at the time.

I like him now that he is our little smart arse and hope he stays injury free and lights things up playing for us.

I have heard that Alex Lobb has been killing it in preseason...he is really pushing for a top 17 spot

You have to love a player who incrementally improves. He speaks well and obviously has the drive and motivation to succeed. He is a good example of recruiting a player who is motivated on and off the field. He is studying at Wollongong Uni.

If he does earn a spot, I wonder if we do move Tupou to centre (particularly with the Olam talk supposedly dying down).

I'm getting ads for 24-day workouts. The algorithm has seen my credit card use at the pub.

He did some great things in that game but ultimately we won that day, so for all the flashy brilliance, the lack of consistency didn’t get the job done.

I think Naden still has a role to play.. hopefully realises he's not guaranteed a spot and pulls his finger out in preseason

 

[WestsEffTheRest]

Why is the forum overhyping a winger who couldn’t even crack the Dragons first grade team?

My ads have been hot chicks in bikini and gambling sites recently. So not to bad.

excuse my ignorance as Lobb is not in the 30 can he still start round 1

Yep...new rules next year. All development players are eligible for selection from round 1.

Im using 99% as metaphorical.

Is there any other club that misses out like us?

We either have terrible luck or can't read the room.

We had JAC, Latrell and Moses are "very confident" as per our management quoting.

Why even say that?

Lol.

Our negotiators are useless.

Here’s a metaphor. A fish rots from the head down.

None, but the ones we had certainty stunk up the place badly.

Latu Fainu and Bud Sullivan have a lot of up side.

Bula is a player who was willing to work hard to get what he wanted and it was about this time last year his name was being mentioned.

This is from the DT in 2022 which I think refers to pre-season Dragon's training. i am excited about his consistency in working hard, his goalkicking and the improvement in his game.


Already, one youngster, Alexander Lobb is turning heads. “Lobby, he’s a winger. When we’re running he’s already in front. He is so quick and fit. He’s showing up all the NRL players ...
