    Recruitment and Retention for 2026

    I'm not sure RVH on this. I haven't seen anything on the internet or in the Dragons website about Finau being able to test the market. If he was given the OK to do this then any meeting with another club would not be a "secretive thing" and be more in the open. Testing the market would allow...

    Dragons Lair General Information

    James Hooper in one of his posts for Fox Sports says it was Jack Gibson - "We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, one of Jack Gibson’s best lines was “Winning starts in the front office” and “Winning starts Monday”."

    Recruitment and Retention for 2026

    I think in the next year and further on, the Club will consist of a more exciting squad of players. More robust, faster and reliable and more positive results team of players. Things should look a lot clearer in the next 4-5 months as to our future prosperity for games in 2026 and beyond. I...

    2025 Season - The season that was

    It would be better than the Dogs against the Panthers as I don't want either to win Edward.

    2025 Season - The season that was

    Seasons come and go. So do coaches. What is up your sleeve Mr Flanagan. You know that wins will be so much harder now with all of the injuries and not only have the injuries affected the first grade results, they are eroding the lower grades of decent players and as such those lower grades...

    Injury and Suspension update 2025

    Understood Justa. We will have to wait and see what "drawing power" he has. Just looking at the Bulldogs v Manly game, another dislocated shoulder injury - this time to Olakau'atu. But I am wondering that when I see Bronson Xerri on the field - has he been tested regularly for any performance...

    Injury and Suspension update 2025

    Any fool can see that not having JDB in the team will be a mistake. Here we are wanting players to bleed red and white and someone like JDB has litres of it in his veins. He is what our defence coach needs to help the other players - he could be a "coach" for the coach and then hang up his...

    Round 22 vs Canberra

    I don't think we have any chance of winning against the likely Minor Premiers, Canberra - or they will go close to it. I am just hoping that we put in 100% and not get thoroughly thrashed. It has been a disappointing year to say the least when my expectation was that we would make the finals...

    Recruitment and Retention for 2026

    Money talks GCRV. Let's make it happen. He will be similar to Ben Barba in a way as a fullback - he has speed, always there to back up but he also has other skills like all kicking requirements and raw natural ingrained natural talent which you cannot beat. He isn't a show pony. He just gets...
