    Recruitment and Retention for 2026

    Yes a bit of a dilemma RVH. I think the halves should have speed and Gutho doesn't now. He can break a tackle and make a dash and so maybe lock but I'm sure we have better options and his defence may not be capable for the full game in that position. He might be OK on the edge but again we...

    We have just been a poor act for quite a number of years. When you have poor performances chances are that no one wants to see you. Yes there will always be loyal fans who will travel all over the place to watch the Dragons play but they will dwindle if we continue to perform badly. It's like...

    Recruitment and Retention for 2026

    🤣 I was waiting for you to post something like this Justa. I've just looked at Hunt's highlights. I could only get his highlights for 2025 as details of any former clubs seem to have been redacted for some reason. Those 2025 highlights of him playing for the Broncos shows that he still has...

    Recruitment and Retention for 2026

    I think all signings for NRL, KOE Cup and lower grades are confirmed on the Dragons website. There have been many reports from Zero Tackle, Instagram and Facebook etc stating that Nicholas Quinn has signed with the Dragons - dating back to 13 October 2025 - and it could be that there is the 10...

    Yes, Preston Campbell was proficient in the 5/8th position as well as fullback. He also played on the wing, half back and occasionally as the hooker for the Gold Coast Chargers. He is related to Nathan Blacklock, Bevan French and Greg Inglis. His son is Jayden Campbell and as we all know...

    Recruitment and Retention for 2026

    https://au.news.yahoo.com/clint-gutherson-tipped-for-position-switch-as-dragons-linked-with-stars-from-warriors-and-titans-234045279.html Take it or leave it. I can agree about Gutho needing to be moved from fullback but I doubt us getting both Campbell and Metcalf. It would be a miracle but...

    Yes, the excitement of scoring length of the field tries through a break by a speedy half to set up a fast centre or winger to score without a hand placed on him or through an intercept near our line and racing the length of the field to score under the posts. Then our speedy defence to bring...

    Crowd numbers are down already so will those numbers decrease further for the next 3-4 years and then only a handful of loyal fans there at that time? I am hoping that next year we will show a big improvement and by that I mean not to die in the backside in the last 5-6 games like we have in...

    Based on those predictions by those 3 journalists, the average earliest will be 5 years time that we will win a premiership. How they can forecast this is beyond me. They say we have a good crop of young forwards coming through the system and our spine is how do you do. Well starting off with...

    Still a long way off. Patience is a virtue they say, but my patience is wearing thin and my virtue is starting to become Mr Hyde and I don't mean Frank.

    Recruitment and Retention for 2026

    Yes, that seems to be the way that those agents are doing things Justa and they have been doing it for some time because we are looked at as being suckers and scapegoats. This is why we are really looking at our depth being within the club itself with the juniors and getting other juniors to...

    Ray would be a more appropriate person to be named on the Centre. He dedicated his life basically to the Dragons and was well liked.

    Recruitment and Retention for 2026

    We are waiting for confirmation on the Dragons website about Quinn coming to us from Souths but in the case of Sami, he is expected to remain at the Titans. https://www.zerotackle.com/dragons-win-race-for-electric-rabbitohs-youngster-227752/...

    Recruitment and Retention for 2026

    We tend to get used a lot because we are seen as a club that is desperate to sign players. Like right at this moment we have signed Kerr, Atkinson and Fale. We have been linked to Sami but his agent has said that the Titans had never agreed to allow him to explore other clubs so he is staying...
