He means the press are saying his best mate is Packer, good mates with Lolohea, apparently a very popular guy we are led to believe.

You dont have to agree but the timing of his assault did him no favours. Had it not been in the height of the coward punch campaign and magistrates were sent to come down hard. He wouldn't have seen inside a jail cell on first offence.

The media hysteria demanded tougher sentencing. Packer got it.

Oh, BS. Any judge would have sent him to prison for what is an aggravated serious assault. As for coward's punch, they get what they deserve by being sent to prison but Packer's crime was much more serious.
My view on Packer is that prison is for rehabilitation as much as punishment and if he has truly been rehabilitated, then he should be allowed to move on with his life by playing professional football.

He was no angel in prison either…..very high needs

High knees?…..what, during the squat n cough??
There are a lot of vermin running around in the NRL, at least Packer has done his time in the clink whereas other players both past and present got barely a slap on the wrist. If he is gonna crush heads on the field it may as well be with WT I say.

Funnily enough things aren't as simple as 'squat and cough' in gaol.
 
What is all the fuss, he made a massive mistake, he paid a high price for his actions that he he now has to carry for life and now he is back on the straight and narrow.

I would not hesitate to sign him, we are winners because we get a good footballer and it sends a good positive message out into the wider community about our club, he is a winner because he gets a juicy contract and he is a good role model for kids who have stuffed up
 
"I'm hearing that Russell Packer has made a decision on his future and he's heading to the Wests Tigers next year.

"He's been offered a massive deal that's four years for big money.

"Perhaps some more money from the Dragons will filter back now to Josh Dugan's offer, and we'll see Dugan stay at St George Illawarra."

Well at least they didn't put a guess work figure on the deal
 
Packer's personal attributes aside, this is a good signing for us in my opinion. He has plenty of mongrel and I think he's a better signing than Matulino.
 
The way I see this playing out. Is Dugan signs with Cronulla then packer will stay. I hope I am wrong. We need Dugan to stay at dragons to get packer
 
Lets not get too excited. It was only a few days ago lolohea was on the bus. Now he is on a horse with a hat.

I can't see the Dragons letting go of an origin level fullback to keep a front rower when they have Vaughn, AhMau, Debellin, Sims under contract. He's overpriced but fullback is important. Sharks are not serious it's a play to stir drama before this weeks game.
 
Welcome aboard Packer…now if you can start getting up to 40min + a game that would be good...

So if all the reports are true matulino and Packer for Sharon woods…definitely a win for the tiges

Either of them are better than Woods..both of them for Woods money is doubly good….. no regrets

Instead of chastising Woods signs we should make up signs thanking him for leaving...
