Recruitment & Retention 2027

[Justadragon]

Well we’ve had Flanagan stinking up the nrl team all year. I know who I’d prefer for 2027. ZT is garbage, take their articles with a grain of salt

We have had a revolving door of halves going through our NRL and KOE sides for the last 2 to 3 years. How much worse can it be with Metcalf, so ZT GO SHOVE IT !!!

I agree somewhat but the FB’s game has certainly changed over the last couple of years. In today’s game whether we had fast outside backs or not his game wouldn’t cut it. I would think the minimum at his age would be comparable to what Tedesco performances are at. And he’s nowhere near that.

Agree. He's already played a year too long and has another year to go! Ridiculous! I'm just saying he wouldn't be near as bad as he has been without trying to do the halves job for them and without backs as slow as Gutho. Or almost as slow. Over 50m, it looks like Blake Lawrie might beat Gutho these days.

Maybe we let Gutho coach the team next year? gives us an extra year to find someone else & we don't need to pay for a head coach.

To me Gutho should hang up his boots at the end of the year. There are still 9 games of regular games to be played before the year is over for the Dragons. Not that I want it to happen, but he could suffer an ACL injury in one of those games and that will spell a long layoff and then he might decide to call it quits. You just never know.

Gutho has a contract and he is not going anywhere. Like Blocka, but we get rid of him this year. It would be good if Gutho and Holmes could move on this year, but they won’t, would you ? We have Flanno to thank for those two ! Of the others Sloane might be worth extending at a lower rate, but after dropping that kick under no pressure against the Raiders….

Pretty sure Sloan is heading to Castelford in the ESL

I am sure that will happen. He will join Ravalawa and Cook is going there next year as well.

Used to be to go many many years ago captain/coach.

Don't forget there is Mr K. Flanagan also contracted for another year. Club should make him an offer he can't refuse. Take the payout now or be the reserve grade ball boy for the year.

Recruitment from the last few coaches has been so bad, it's kind of funny. Funny they were just so clueless or the higher ups were so feckless and weak, just let them get away with singing whoever the hell they wanted for whatever reason other than ability or the clubs needs.

Dan Anderson is going to prove to be the clubs best signing since WB.
