Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

We can easily accommodate Klemmer and Leniu, be it cap or spots available. It's not like our forwards are worth keeping happy. We have forwards who can do a job and that is it. Musgrove, Seyfarth, Simpkins, goodbye. Our depth is hopeless. A backrower is needed urgently too.

I would only be content with one of Nofoaluma or Maumalo. Need difference in our backline, some speed on the other wing wouldn't hurt. Doueihi is not a centre.

We def should have cap room but we have 28 spots filled for next year so to bring players in we are going to have to release players as you prob always want 1 spot left at least till mid year to be able to deal with unexpected injuries

I agree with the other 2 but Sheens has already publicly stated he wants to work with Tuki. He was told he was free to look elsewhere and then Sheens stepped in, wouldnt mind betting he upgrades him modestly for another season to take a proper look at him.

I'd be looking to move on Musgrove out of those 3 first imposter of a footballer, Klemmer and Leniu would improve our pack infinitely if the deal is there to be done we should do it. We got rolled through the middle like ive never seen last year.

NRL.com has the actual signings which to be fair is 28 but I have added Tommy Talau and taken away Liddle who they have forgotten to take off or it isn't registered at Dragons yet.

Oh really? re Tuki. Thought it was just POM who said that Sheens wants to keep him.

Saw that written here somewhere - Don't know that Sheens said it publicly...
I'd be keeping Musgrove over Tuki.
Having watched him a bit in Reserves, I don't see anything much in him...
To the point he's well behind Dias and Aitasi.

Tuki wouldn't have been near firsts at any other club...
Musgrove would've (And has) And will....
I can't say that for Tuki unfortunately...

I don't really rate Staines either but for 2023 and beyond if Douhie is not the answer Tim and benji want at 6 then they may ask him to play centre. He may spit the dummy at that and if that is the case then he may move on.
I think Brooks survives mainly due to the long service discount and if Sheens can restructure the contract from 2024
If we want to keep Laurie at fullback then we can go for
7. Hastings
6. Brooks
I just think Sheens sees Hastings as that 13
which woukd likely leave
7. Brooks
6. Laurie
hence the need for Staines at 1

Brooks and Laurie as a halves combination would be the worst in NRL history

If we can get Klemmer to bring leadership and steel to our pack and Leinu with his steel and impact, we are going to improve next year. Also our backs including Brooks will have more time and space to operate.

God help us if Brooks has more time and space to stuff things up as he usually does over the years. How many years have we told Brooks to run and he goes missing, like him as a good clubman and yes his defense has improved over the years BUT its time to move him on if its a sound decision in our favour
