Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

So we have signed ....ok see you in 40 more pages

This is just how we run now.... Its a joke how this club is been run as most clubs are looking at 2023/24 rosters but NOT US we are still yet to get a player signed from the NRL for next year and we have ample money and heaps of roster spots...

I really wonder what goes on in the offices regarding recruitment

weve got 3 or 4 haves already,so surely dont need a proven dud like Taylor...?No improvement on what we have.Its not really a position of need
Sims too old and too lazy..never turns up for Dragons.Nup..not him surely
Elliot useful,but weve got a lot of young backrowers already.A senior voice in the pack though..
We desperately need a centre,but Scott??Really ...he wld have to go off the booze ..permanently to consider him.Serial idiot.
Lunai from Panthers has potental,but yet another young prop..?Not exactly what we need atm
So Im hoping its none of the above...

I watched most of the Dragons games this year and Sims very rarely let them down. He was also selected for Origin and did not let us down there either. Your a bit harsh on him.

Best used in the middle rotation. Not the typical edge player.

We need to sign Scott.
Yes, not for overs and not in a bidding war.
The guy is only 23. Won a comp at 19.
If his head is right he will be QUALITY.
And we are beyond desperate for centres

 

[JC99]

Have we ever signed a player who's down on form/been in trouble and turned them around at our club?

They insist on giving blokes second chances but I can't remember it ever working out for us.

 

[tonza]

How much cap space do we have 1.3 million right ?
Sims we will probably be paying 300k cause dragons will chip in majority

Scott shouldn't be too expensive around 350k

Leaves us with 650k left over

Garner leaves and swap with sipley that solves the prop shortage we have

Why would Dragons chip in $300k. I thought he was off contract. Maybe end of next year. Either way cannot see them chipping in that much.

God get over it. Every player available sucks.

Did anyone ever come to think maybe, just maybe this club has learned it’s lesson and isn’t leaking every bloody target to the media.

Even still, promote more flegg and KOE boys and look to use the money to 1) recruitment in 2023, when MUCH better players are available. 2) extend our young stars, they deserve the money more than these absolute bums we’re being linked to.

Exactly. We’re not a club to turn rocks into diamonds.

Waste of a roster spot regardless of how little money they’re on

He’s off contract at the end of 2022, they’d have to chip in

No we don’t. Why would his head be right at a club like ours ? Constantly in the media for the wrong reasons enough as it is. Kepao can play centres start of next season, so can gildart, Tommy will be back before you know it and then you’ve got young blokes. He doesn’t improve our team at all

 

[Lee's fedora]

Defence wise Scott is a much better option than tommy and Kepoa which is something we've lacked

Scott is better than all our guys. Give him a 2 year deal, with year 2 in our favour

No he’s not 😂 people act like he was killing it before he got in trouble. He couldn’t even make the raiders side and they were playing whitehead in the centre’s over him. Also spare me the “he’s only young” crap. If it’s about age, we’ve got a ton of young blokes ready for the NRL experience

Jamaal fogarty released from titans effective immediately most likely headed to Canberra

Cap space is over $1.6m

Cap should be around 2 mil no?

We got:
Packer's salary (700?)
Joey leilua Salary (600)
Second half of Reynolds transfer is off our cap (What is this around 400?)
around half of Moses salary is free (350-450?)

That's what approximately 2mil already

Plus anyone else we released, should be around the 2 mil mark I believe.

I could be wrong but I thought around 2.3 - 2.4 Mil.

To be fair to us and to Scott the Tigers certainly isnt a club you go to to get your head right, if you listen to some if you come to us you need your head read.
