He's played 7 straight games this year, averaging 21 mins in the premiership side. He averaged 28 mins last year at Panthers. He's been at 5 clubs. He is 30 years old. What do you reckon his expectations are?

As much as I dislike Dugan he "might" be a good option if Teddy leaves, that goal he kicked from the sideline to level the match on Tuesday was a cracker.

Terrific footballer, it's the cost that's the problem. I don't honestly think he's in Teddy's price bracket, but he wants to be.

No where near Teddy's price bracket, plus it would cost a lot more in rehabilitation.

Personally not fussed on Dugan myself, I think he is over-hyped and over-priced but it will also depend on what Ivan's requirements are for the fullback position. Dugan is a running player, whereas the current structure has Teddy who is a ball playing fullback.

What Ivan has in his plans are who we'll chase.

Front rowers best years are 28-30.
I doubt packer will leave dragons, seumanafei i feel will prob leave so were going to need some big forwards. I seen him play at panthers Hes actualy not bad. Bench player of course

I would throw a fair bit of coin at Nelson Asofa solamona and maybe even enquire about tom leoroyd lahrs

Agree completely re: Asofa-Solomona. He's a monster and looks to be fairly skilful with the ball. He would be an enormous pickup.

I'd be happy with that, could do a swap with Ava just based on rumours that he's linked with sharks.
Honestly couldn't hurt anyway.

me too. However storm have lossed tahu harris and cronk which is probably saved them 1.5 +mill. can easily equal what we offer him.

Think we'll need some genuine pace to be added to the backline for next season

One flaw in Dugan's game is that he struggles to pass the ball, like you say he's a running fullback.
The goal kicking is a bit of a worry for me once Moses goes, I don't want to see Rankin anywhere near the NRL team.

Get michael gordan on one wing. Its worth it if we convert goals.

 

[marzie]

Have you seen Gordon's goal kicking this year? 67%

 

[bp_tiger]

Have you seen Gordon's goal kicking this year? 67%

more like 20%, but he may be just having a bad season, he is worth a go at a cheap price.

 

[Seantice]

yeah i look at carreer percentage. not this years. You can go through mini slumps but you cant just lose the talent.

 

[Yossarian]

He's 34 in October. Keith Barnes had a good kicking % but he'd probably struggle these days. I really don't think Michael Gordon is a sensible option unless he was on minimum wage to fill out the squad.

 

[Seantice]

And? luke lewis is 34 and killing it. i do not want a part time kicker for us. Weve had part time kickers since hodgson left!!

 

[wtbus]

Would love both, would solve fullback and wing 😛ray:

Luke Lewis is a forward not a winger. Unless you're John Ferguson you're struggling to maintain your speed at that age.

If you haven't seen this kid play yet, watch the Warriors game on Sunday.
Future star… Instead of throwing money at the likes of Dugan, take a shot on this kid and spend money on forwards. Hasn't played yet so can't demand too much money. Can play wing, centre and fullback of which we need all of the above. Replacing Teddy with Dugan/Gordon would make me depressed for years. At least this kid may give new hope for the future, like a little Luke Skywalker! Hope you're reading Ivan... May the 4th be with you!
