Dragons Lair info...

Blocka shin fracture, with the bye he probably misses only 2 games
Kye Andrews orbital fracture should be back after bye.
Charlie, I hoping is back next round if not round 20.
Jesse is week by week.

Really looking forward to Charlie playing reserve grade for a few weeks straight.

Ryan Couchman has been charged with Dangerous Contact and will be fined $1800 should he enter an early guilty plea.

Toby Couchman (Shoulder Charge) is also facing a $1800 fine for a Round 13 offence.

Good to see the boys are developing some mongrel characteristics

Thanks for the info ...
Great that Charlie is so close, need to see him string a few games back toback at the end of the season then hope he has a great off season
Jesse - so hopeful for him to - seems to have that right mix of speed/robustness. Fingers really crossed for him and his progress.

No good news
Hayden surgery out for season
Sounds like Hame won't be back for a while and Blocka out extended

 

[Mailroomsgi]

Round 22 gives Kade time to play a game or 2 in cup before the final 4 games of tigers dogs manly parra in first grade. That’s about as light a run as you could hope for to end the season

 

[Mug Fan]

Wests Tigers forward Tony Sukkar also faces a $1000 fine with an early plea for his first offence.

Nothing to see here move along

 

[Mug Fan]

If Gutho isn't fit they should give him the rest of season off.
Get surgery on his knee, stem cell or marbles or whatever, give him 12 weeks off.

Gutho had surgery today on his knee

Hope it failed critically

Seriously, I hope everything went well but realised his rugby league days are over.

What an unnecessary thing to say

Obviously - but the best outcome for the club is a complication or something new that is serious enough for him to pull up stumps

I'd rather he do it of his own accord and not because of serious injury.

That is of no benefit to the club and our salary cap.

 

[dragonheart]

If we cant find a way of helping him leave, Let's hope he comes back a new player again and fixes our centre position. He still offers a huge amount apart from speed.

Hope it failed critically

Pretty ordinary choice of words regardless of what you want for 2027

What an unnecessary thing to say

If one can't vent in a public forum, where can one vent?!

 

[RufusRex]

nah redv01 .. im ok with peeps venting about what i typed
i didn't say fatally ;-)

A critical failure in this context to me means that the surgery failed to correct the issue not that i wished him dead.
Surgery failed, medical retirement, Dragons secure 1 million dollars worth of other talent - maybe sloan and another centre ... Club wins.

if people want to jump in line to condemn a choice of words without understanding them then i am more than ok with that.

Funny how you say that people aren't understanding your choice of words, but then you go and defend yourself by saying that you don't wish death on him.

Nobody said that you wished for that in the first place.

Either way, your definition of 'critical failure' and its actual definition are two separate things - so don't be surprised if people call you out on what you say.

It's great that you're passionate about the club. So am I. That being said, wishing for the surgery to not correct the issue could potentially affect him for the rest of his life and is therefore, still an unnecessary comment, which is all I said.

 

[Dave03]

sometimes it's better to say nothing at all

 

[RufusRex]

Happy to accept any moderation deemed necessary

If I went too far I apologize

The subject of medical retirement with cap benefits require a new/chronic injury that ends Clints career - bear that in mind when others talk of the club needing to medically retire him and remind them what they are actually asking for.

Didn't go too far. Only expressed openly what almost everyone wants. Want the best for Gutho and that might be for him to have to call it a day due to his body no longer be up to first grade.
