Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Lomax when he resigned it was widely acknowledged that he took unders in exchange for longer term. Roughly 5 years X 525k, At that price need be good. Better value than nof, Naden etc

Doing wonders for St George. Sign him up in a heartbeat.

I'd swap him for nof in an instant.
Maybe you don't realise how much worse our backline is compared to every single other team

Why not - one of the best juniors in Aus and 18 next yr and a five eight. Only a few months younger then Fainu

I reckon we move our best youngsters into the top 30 very early to ensure we keep them. It’s to the detriment of the current year however.

That doesn’t matter.
If we see something proactive happening, we’ll be more forgiving as a whole.

Ben Gardiner.

Biggest loss this club had out of last years debacle of a season.

Galvin into the Top 30? Interesting. Have to get him an older mentor surely?

That said- someone he can beat out for the job within 12-18 months. If we are a development club, be one 100%.

So we are in a similar position with Sheens to before our 05 success. We could only recruit players with ability if they were returning from major injury (Scott Prince & Pat Richards) or solid experienced players who Sheens felt were good for culture & could find their potential at the Tigers (Hodgson, Whatuira, Elford).

I’m wondering whether players with similar experience who have a point to prove & yet to hit their peak may be our target.

Three can think of off the top of my head are Lachlan Lam, Connor Tracey & Blake Taafe.

Any others that fit the profile?

We are closer to 2003 than 2005. Filtering through the Michael Beuttner's of the world, waiting for the real star players- our Benji's & Robbie's- to come through the juniors.

Brad Parker, Paul Momorovski, Taaffe, Fulton, Luke Thompson, Billy Smith, Liam Knight? Ben Hampton perhaps?

“ Widely acknowledged “ yet contradicted by the Tele yesterday who said his deal was back ended and he is getting $800k for the next two seasons… you want him at that price? Dragons have said they are not going to pay any of it

Galvin sounds pretty special. If we get Fainu why not a Galvin/Fainu combination in our halves. I can see success just around the corner. I'm thinking 2030.

It's time.
@tigerballs

Dragons fans call him Slomax now.

That is hardly "Just around the corner" and certainly would not satisfy me and i suspect many others from being told that it will be another 7 years to be a success.

And its a detriment to their development. These kids are winners, they'll get jack of losing real quick.

Moses
Tedesco etc etc

I was trying to be positive. A more realistic timetable would be something like 3030.

I think our recruitment drive just took a massive Kick in the nuts.

I didnt watch the game Thankfully,

Mate i completely understand how you feel,i also an trying to be positive but its hard when you look at the cretins who are holding the reins at our club

You should watch it a couple of times over and then jab your eye a couple of thousand times with a blunt pen. I'm wondering what is worse.

Sounds like next year is looking great. Benji stepping up to do more coaching and hopefully signing a rookie wiz kid to fill one of our key halves role. What could go wrong ?

All my confidence in the club is back, we will once again be a destination club and I can renew my membership next year.

 

[Telltails]

When you see the Bulldogs in a similar position you have to question the NRL pushing for expansion. Sydney clubs will be the ones that will suffer and management has to be a key component to give the club any hope of competing.

 

[hank37w]

Again we will be looking at wizard of oz recruitment.

Signing those with no heart, no courage, no brain.

But if we follow the yellow brick road . . . . . . . . . . .

Best we can hope for is a house falling on the club admin.
