i’ve been told lomax has removed the dragons from his bio and unfollowed them on instagram. mbye might be heading there before the august 1 deadline so could be a swap. my mbye-lomax suggestion might come to fruition ?

Have we truly entered an era where "unfollowing" signals, in people's mind, a player club change? And people are actually monitoring who players follow and unfollow?

I mean, of course it's possible, but ever since Curtis Rona "liked" Tigers I've pretty much ignored reading of the tea leaves of social media.

There's a blast from the past??????

We wont get Egan Butcher now that every other club has noticed him

Pretty sure everyone knew about him his whole junior career . It’s not 1980 where you can pluck a nobody from Wagga brothers . He’s had scouts all over him since he was a preteen I’d say

To be fair though , the 2 times I’ve seen it happen , were josh ALOIAI and Joe Ofahengaue . Both were gone from thier clubs a day or 2 later . I’m almost certain there was another outside back who had it pointed out and was gone a few days later .

These guys see this as a big deal . I think it’s just clicking a button on the phone . But social media is important to them . I think it’s kind of like saying “you’re dropped “ lol and all the likes and thumbs up are like all the kids in the school saying “ooooooo”

It would take some sort of offer to get either of the Butcher boys. The family is rusted on Roosters.

They can keep the older brother, he’s bog average

What a ridiculous comment. They have a great relationship with the Roosters and won't go anywhere if they are looked after where they are no matter what we offer.

Roosters taking there time to re - sign Egan, so we may have made a good offer.

We have been after him for a while, the kid is the real deal. If we can’t get Butcher given Adam’s ties then we have no chance in the market.

If we cannot get him, our recruitment is in serious trouble.

Our recruitment is clearly struggling, but opinions like this are ridiculous. Poaching players from clubs with which they have strong ties is not easy, particularly when they have a first grade spot and their club is successful. Keep setting stupid expectations though so you can justify continually bashing the club.

What's the latest re Scott and Lomax?

Where are these Lomax rumors coming from. The guy has signed like a 20 year contract. Are we signing him for the 21st year ?

I don't believe this. I guarantee if we offered Egan Butcher 1 million per season he would come. It would also be a terrible signing.

I think we offer what we consider fair value and they come or they don't.
