So that’s Sims and probably Woods of off the list. Elliot and Scott’s odds have just shrunk

Something has to give at the Dragons?
Have they announced Suli yet?

It’s not so much cap space or squad space but there will be a few extra guys miss out on making their week to week 17.

They’ve signed / rumoured to sign.
Suli
Scott
Molo
Su’a
Burgess
Moses

Out of the above surely
Suli, Molo, Moses and Su’a come into their 17 with Scott and Burgess as possibles/probables.

If we are honest with ourselves we are in some trouble... ALL of the bottom teams have improved there rosters for next year and we have done nothing at this stage (I like Hastings signing) .. Happy to play the long game as they say but this could back fire in a massive way and the powers at be night just regret not paying a little extra for a key player we missed on.. Fingers crossed it works out but I don't want to run into 2022 with a team full of youngest again. They cannot perform consistently for 25 rounds.. 😛ray:

Agreed, all the bottom eight teams are making big grounds in building their rosters..except for one. Okay our current top 17 will probably change a little between now and round one, but it’s very hard to see us being competitive in 2022. Our ability to attract players is our no1 downfall at present.

Most of the bottom teams , out side of the broncos , have no juniors . It’s all good to sign other teams players , but seriously , how many were guys that thier previous team lost . Or were guys who were lower in the priority list .
Ie. they have they’re “we can’t lose “ players and then the “we are way better if they stay , on the right contract” players . Hynes and Burton are exactly this .
yea they’re quality , but everyone had the dogs coming 7th this year . And they were distant last .
We have a chunk of players who would have been rated as some of the top juniors coming through .
Juniors are out of thier depth until they’re not .
It’s 50 games according to Tim Sheens .
My point is , talent is talent , and there is no reason, that our talent can’t be unlocked , because it’s definitely there .
Cotric eg , was supposed to be a game changer , but if he was dropped this year , would anyone have been surprised .
Dane Laurie was supposed to need the year to develop , ie. he was going to be pretty average . And now he’s the player who’s going to change our fortunes .

Our recruiting sux ! There’s no doubt about that , but I think you’ll find , most teams recruiting is at best hit and miss .
Unless you pluck a Laurie , or Gutho , on the verge of doing something ,When youre plucking known quantities that’s exactly what you get . For good and bad .

This team could be the worst team by far , or on the verge of greatness . I don’t think anyone knows

Sims staying at St George for 2022.

Is your source the fox sports article below? If so, there’s nothing in Sims’ quote which confirms he’s staying with them. Also the Dragons have removed Sims’ audio from the video on their website where the quotes below were pulled from. Strange….

Fox Sports:
Sims revealed on the Dragons’ club website that he had no intention of leaving before the end of his current contract.
“The skeleton of our squad is really starting to take shape,” Sims said.
“A couple of those boys, it was their first pre-season and they weren’t supposed to be getting a look in this year.
“We will be working tirelessly. We have a little break with our families, have some downtime, and then turn back up in November ready for next year.
“We have lost a lot of big boys this year, but next year we gain a lot of blokes.
“That’s the beauty of the beast in rugby league, but we have a great coaching team, a great strength and conditioning team, but they will be licking their lips to get a hold of them and get them into shape.”

I thought young Tyrell Sloane was impressive and well worth an approach to the Dragons.

Rate him and young Jayden Campbell

With Brimson coming back into the team he could be very gettable also

Brismson will play 6 Campbell will end up their long term fullback. Same as Sloane at the dragons IMO.

The Titans have a lot of junior talent from which to promote to the NRL. Full credit to that Club. Campbell is such an impressive footballer as well.

Really comes down to does that talent step up to the NRL. Doesn't mean much otherwise. Remember Tony Costello ? Most promising junior comm bank medal winner in the late 80's?

Tony Cosatto…..eels, Wests, roosters.

I wouldn't mind Peachy. He's can be used as a forward, center or a play maker.

 

[Speed2burn]

just found out Lomax is selling his house in Wollongong for anyone clinging onto some hope we might sign him 😂

 

[boonboon]

Peachey would be good, fills the whole at 5/8 for a few weeks before Douehi comes back and then gives us a creative option in the backrow or off the bench most likely. Experienced and builds on our indigenous connection we are building which is smart.

Do we have any recent drone footage?

Not yet … Slothfield is sending out his team of paparazzis as we speak ?

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

Wonder if we sign Peachy whether we might be open to offloading Liddle. We surely wont carry a hooker on the bench with Hastings and possibly Peachy coming. Just a thought i reckon post season we will still see a heap of musical chairs.

Highly doubt the club would look at shopping Liddle.

I wonder if he is moving from Wollongong to Kogarah or to Concord?

With a fully fit squad you’d likely see Simpkin relegated to KOE cup which let’s be honest, he probably needs a full season of. Peachey at 14, Garner or some other second rower type and then 2 props insert names here.

Not next year at least. We've got Simpkin who's injured and still average at best.

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

Was just a thought re Liddle wasn’t there also chatter him not gelling with his team mates?

No?

Liddle just re signed he’s not going anywhere next season

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

No?

Possibly just a rubbish rumour can’t recall where I read it. I’m not a Liddle hater I think he’s decent enough, I personally think we shouldn’t carry a backup hooker on the bench. Think there’s more need for a utility similar to how Newcastle played with Watson.

 

[Hazard_10]

Peachey would be a good replacement for mbye on much less coin.
