Watching the Melbourne-Canberra game, Howarth can pass but he's not proficient at it. With a bit of work, could be good enough. Apart from that, looks like a really good centre. Is it confirmed Melbourne have given him permission to negotiate with other clubs? Can't see why it would be the case judging by what he does on the field.

seems like we are in the hunt for every OB on the market, I wonder whether it is now value for money propositions only... hence so many slipping through to the keeper. Noting we have quite a few spots to fill yet.. and we could do with depth in really 1-5 & 9 in particular..

also still feel like we are trying to keep our 2028 options open for Bostock or Herbie (or whoever).. so we have to be careful how much we spend.. even with Val going.. that said cant be putting all our eggs in the 1 basket.. if someone signs Herbie I reckon big chance Dolphins hold onto Bostock if he is happy there.. and if he isn't im sure lots of clubs will try..

Yeah I’m not absolutely buzzing with interest in him, I think he’s a bit overblown

Casey McLean has the physical attributes and extreme speed/skill, Jesse plays hard but he’s not a particularly great athlete.

Think we can do better tbh

Thoughts on Xerri (on the outer) and/or C. Graham (injury prone)? Both have some elite qualities & are modern day outside backs while still in their mid 20s. Anyone else on the outer/injury prone? Both also solve some outside back issues for us. Assume we'd have to move on the likes of Suli & potentially pay out Gutho.

2. Holmes
3. Xerri
4. Graham

Why are you shocked rufus rex. Well isnt he obligated. I've read stuff in the media but no explanation as to why Leilua was moved from the edge to a bit part on the bench which then saw him wanting a release. Do you know the initial Leilua details? Mug intimated that the blame was on Leilua.
He's not obligated to tell us anything RVH, he explains it in the Dragons Liar General Info Thread. I think the best explanation was from RufusRex RufusRex To me he sealed his deal by taking this long to get fit and start performing to what he was being paid, matter of too little too late. There is a reason after all why he hasn't settled at any club he has been to, his price tag to his output is now way out of sync.

You make a fair point. Ok so these player sagas remain in house and we fans remain in the dark. That is what pisses me off, the uncertainty, always having to conject.
I actually dont mind Dramas being handled in house RVH, just look at what happened with LKT, I dont think in the long run regardless of what happened to Flanno that it endeared him to anyone, maybe Talau and some of his team mates especially.
