As always it depends on cost, but if available we would have to at least enquire about Jaydn Su’a.
In a beaten team he’s been consistently in the Dragons top 3 players and although he’s played his entire career as an edge back rower, there is no reason why he would not add value as a starting 13.
Would we be a better team if someone like Su’a started the game for us at 13 with Twal starting at prop ? Su’a would not be a ball playing type of 13, but his aggressive running and defending would likely make our forwards pack more formidable and what a great back up to have in case one of our starting edge back rowers miss a game out injured.

Disagree.
Why would you move twal from 13 who is in career best form? He is playing the role perfectly.

Been seeing one of our old favourite young guns, Jordan Hill in some pix with the players of late.

Wouldn't mind him coming in on a cup deal, if he isn't already, in some way, contracted.

Two words: Benji. Marshall.

Manu doesn't strike me as someone who would join a club, rubbished by his mate Tedesco, because Benji Marshall pitches it too him.

Manu is definately someone we want, but with Makasini, May and our backline developing I don't see where he fits bar fullback. Remember he hasn't played fullback.

Like I would love to have him. Taylan May at some point will go mental... I just don't get how he fits into our current squad nor where the spare 1m cap is.

Tedesco was last here almost a decade ago. Manu would have seen May come over and make a success of it. Players seem respect Marshall. The club seems to have a different vibe. Sure it could go tits up again but right now it doesn’t seem so bad. We’re probably at the hold stage. If we can start string a few wins together and be a consistent top 8 contender, we might move to buy.

What industry??

I love my job and my industry.

In truth, I wouldn't mind another 100k or so to help with the day to day expenses etc.

Another 100k for day to day expenses? That's some pretentious snobbery right there even the average salary in Australia is around 55k.

Trades are just so incredibly overpaid, no idea if that's what you do, but so many people earn way above global benchmarks in Australia

Do you spend all day playing fantasy football in your head?

They own APIA Leichhardt.

No, they don't.

They own a stake in a championship club that plays 6 games a year.
