So our Centre stocks for next year are

Mbye
Momo
Talau
Jennings
Chee-kam as a backup

Hopefully Momo can continue to improve as with Talau.

I hope they look at another forward with Esan's money

Jennings is not centre stock.

He is a nothing.

Looks like the cafe a while ago and the chat recently with Zac Lomax could be the centre pairing with Momo. Luv it!!!!!

STGI would be mad to release Lomax. He’s a star in the making. Huge talent that would be a Wests Tigers move. I applaud the decision to let Martsers go he hasn’t earnt a massive upgrade he was signed on good money last time by Cleary who is t afraid of paying overs. Cowboys would have paid top dollar.

The dragons are well aware about Lomax being their best prospect for years and would not want to lose him,the only hope is that Lomax is unhappy being coached by Mary and wants to play under a good coach

A bit like we were aware James Tedesco was a star but in the end you can’t keep a bloke who doesn’t want to stay. I suspect if Lomax is already meeting with other clubs the Dragons might end up in the same boat we did with Teddy.

Far out... A good player lost who copped a lot of stick from fans... Local junior as well. Well, if we don't sign a competent or even better replacement I won't be letting this go any time soon.

Wasn't he an Easts junior?

Yep - he wasn't a local junior.

Hopefully you are right and Lomax decides Madge would be the right coach to play under
 
I’m really not fussed either way with Esan leaving or whether he stayed.

One thing i found interesting though is how the whole rule of not being able to negotiate with a player pre-November 1st of the final year of a players contract is a load of rubbish that no player or club seems to actually follow.

The only time it gets beat up into something big is when it’s a player you really don’t want to lose.

When it’s a big name player/coach, all you hear is how they shouldn’t be talking to our player before Nov 1 and “how dare they!!!”

Just goes to show if you want someone on contract you can generally get them if it works out for all parties and bugger the rules.

Disappointing.

If he had played to his potential it would be disappointing


It certainly will be disappointing if he plays to his potential with his new club.

That's a very real possibility. McGregor really stuffed Lomax around in 2019. Had him playing all sorts of positions, but not his preferred right centre spot. Mary McDumbdumb kept persisting with duds/plodders over Lomax. You can't have a star-in-the-making filling a Mr. Fix-it role like Mitch Aubusson.
 
Wasn’t his best year with us but still a quality player. All the best to him.

At least all parties played this out respectfully. Not to much rumble in the media which says our club was fine with the decision.
 
He obviously does not fit the profile the coach is looking for to break the cursed 9th finishing spot ... good luck with his endeavours elsewhere , his performances this season where less than what is required at this level ... Madge is weeding out the non performers and he certainly fits that bill !
 
I think Esan is too much of a confidence player. When its down, its down which showed up in his goal kicking. Anyway, good luck to him and here's hoping for something better coming our way...

Bit hard when he had bung ankle. You watch how fast everybody turns on the club for this if he kills it next year. Forgetting how they bagged him for the entire year this year.
 
Good luck to the kid and hope he lives up to his potential as he has bucket loads of it.

Unless we have someone coming in, looks like Mbye, Talau and Momo next year.

Hope we spend the cash on a quality forward. JWH would be awesome.

Yea but with Flanagan being appointed assistant I think the writing is on the wall for Mary. I can see players staying there another year to see what pans out.
 
Flanagan isn't that good of a coach. If anything he'd be up there with the worst and not enough for players to stay in my opinion. The bloke would be one of the dodgiest coaches and very lucky to be coaching again in the NRL with his history of cap rorting and drug scandals. The sharks did well to protect him for so long.
 
It’s kind of strange that wasn’t it McGuire that gave him a kiwi jersey? Injury or no injury he had a poor year and if it wasn’t for our lack of depth in outside backs, he would have been dropped. As somebody else pointed out the heat up in Townsville will make it tough off season for him. I guess we’ll find out come March next year how he has coped.
