A lot of people know much better than me but IMO, it's a bandaid solution we don't need. We need a good outside back but for only one year is a bandaid solution. Save the money and work toward something more long-term. Like Burton, Heidke, Williams and I'm glad Rumble was upgraded. Once he fills out a bit, I'm thinking Jack Bostock 2.0.
We already have Watson on a one year deal , that to me is enough.

Kodi Nikorima had an absolute blinder against the Rorters yesterday.

Scott Drinkwater was everywhere against the Tigers yesterday too. Impressive stats. I like the slips into dummy half; Effortlessly chimes into the backline; Reads the play well and not afraid to take on as last line of defence. The "live" website below shows individual "player stats", and he scored 100% efficiency. He's going to be good for us.

With Drinkwater and Kodi coming to us next year our attac k will be much better. Now I am not too sure but I read that Metcalf will be seeing medics in Trump land (that's what he will call it next) to have his hamstrings sorted and hopefully if that happens (Metcalf's treatment and not the other), then Metcalf will have a new lease of life. If we can have him on the field for at least 80-90% for next year and the years beyond, that will be great.

I might have jumped the gun with what I said about Metclaf because scans have revealed he suffered a minor right hamstring strain that will sideline him for a short recovery period following his injury during a match against the Brisbane Broncos. I think that the Dragons would be looking at how they can improve his chances of not pulling the hamstrings for the future. The one that he did to his right leg when he kicked the conversion really amazed him - WTF - just kicking the ball - yikes.

I saw a video compilation of people pulling hamstrings. They can, at times go very easily. I saw one of a soccer player somewhere in Europe. Don't know who he was but it was a big stadium full of people. He jumped up off the bench to cheer whatever happened only to grab his hamstring and start limping badly on the sideline.

Some people obviously have issues with it. Tom Turbo obviously. But I don't think there is any indication Metcalf is near that bad. I hope not anyway.

Good that he didn't grab something else when he got excited. Hahaha. Yes, those hamstrings are a nuisance. I can remember training with my works league players (played in the Tigers colours) years ago and pulled my right hamstring so many times. My stupidity in training with it every week and therefore not allowing it to heal until it got too bad and just went to the pub with the guys instead after training and in the end all good.
