Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[hank37w]

Quite a few suggesting he's not that good as well.

 

[Lestronge]

Depends I guess where his house is...could be all sorts of reasons

I dont think Lomax is a rumour just a few posters suggesting he may be good for us if hes available

I think it’s because he’s a tigers fan as a kid , and there’s been a poster on here , regularly in contact with lomaxs dad .

Today it's a business.

Where did the Lomax to Tigers rumour come from ?
Even if we had to e cap space, why would the Dragons just release one of their highest profile and best players who has been with them since he was a young emerging player ?

Another unsubstantiated rumour from the fantasy
cabinet. Should go 2 market mid year if anything.
Probably make a play 4 next year soon too I hope

Extend Pole & Stefano, give Doueihi a 250k 1yr
extension. See who performs, free up some spots
and get some1 on the market 2 compliment Luai

Doueihi has done nothing to warrant an extension. Not even a modest one.

Worth his weight in gold at that modest sum.
Was bandied around as captain material not
so long ago. Experienced & can play multiple
positions. Provided he stays fit of course. I'd
offer him 1yr 300k with games played triggers

What a story....... Berlin... huh.... wow.... unbelievable. Great story. I have a similar story but in the Bronx NYC. But I won't go there. Your story is much better. Love it. Thank you for sharing. Odessa.

Sometimes I think my life is a series of drunk incidents

We have players to re-sign and good young prospects coming through we want to retain. Lomax won't leave the Dragons and even if he did, I would not want the club to buy him and undo all the good work the club has done on Pathways. I have no doubt Richardson, Marshall and co know this well. .

Oh I get it now.

Man who was good friends with Mr Rona senior? When is Curtis coming!!! You left all us Forum watchers Hanging Curtis Rona...

Now just to get Lomax to mention a "bus".

A fit Doueihi should be Olam's centre partner. People have forgotten what a dangerous runner of the ball he is. Without the burden of putting plays on he's a weapon.
Can't tackle for shit but you can teach a monkey to tackle.

At a time when Kenny Maumalo was captaincy material here 😂

Hasn’t poor old Kenny fallen off the side of the earth.

Poor fella. He was our best front rower that year but was playing busted and guess he never recovered.

We need top players on realistic money.

I think we needed top players. Yet we got Second tier players.

i.e. we were trying to go for "the Fox" and Latrell Mitchell at one stage. Now Latrell knocked us back saying we did not even have a spine... We also tried signing M Moses, in spite of the history. I won't say Moses is top tier but I will say he is a Million dollar half and we may have come closer to 13th if we had him in 2023.

We signed James Roberts and BJ Leulia instead. ... Ofcourse we would have wanted to go higher.... Both of these options are Second tier, first graders sure. But not top players in their sides (even when Roberts played origin).

Api is a top tier Hooker.
Luai is a topish tier signing...

We needed top tier players. Cleary's biggest mistake in rebuilding the WT was signing mid-range players, not top tier players. Yes for a Center, winger etc you shouldn't break the bank and need to talk realistic money.
For Api, for a great halfback you got to break the bank. Forget depth, pick people that every team would want on the field.

Don't know where the Rumours came from, been coming and going for a year of two now. But as for why they'd release him, they've shuffles him to a wing when his best position is centre, dont think he'll want to hang around if that's his future

Haha. Yes indeed, backed himself. So what though
we have a good 1 in Api anyways. Wretched knee

Any good monkeys off contract?

Luai is a “topish” tier signing 😂

Look, I could agree if we can get a 'fit Doueihi'.
It's sad, we can't, the guy won't be fit again. 2023 taught us that with the injuries he already had that he was glass.

Also I don't think you can get a non-tackler to tackle. Doueihi has had enough first grade time to learn basic technique. You can teach tackling and to Brooks credit he actually could tackle by the time he left us. Yes he went from Turnstyle to semi-ok in tackling. ... 3 years and we haven't seen that of D.

It's glue factory for Doueihi. He can try for English Premiere league.
