It's early but really seems the new management, including DA, are being much more methodical. For a few years now it looked like the coach, Price, Mary, Hook, Flanno, was just throwing the hat in the ring for any player that became available not even caring about form or if the club needed...

He's ok but is he any better than the centres Dragons already have? I can tell you he isn't better than Holmes.

Looking forward to seeing the lower grades for next year. As you say, half the battle will already be won if the young forwards keep progressing as they've been doing. Now we need some young backs really knocking on the first grade door.

He was probably just trying to do the best he could for his client. Trying to pawn off the idea it was just Flanno, nothing to do with Ilias ability so he could hopefully get a deal somewhere else.

Jaxon Purdue would be a coup. He's only 20.

Has there been any concrete report we have been rejected by anyone over the last several months? I know Anasta talked big about advising his clients to not sign with the Dragons but I'd bet he'd change his tune if we were to offer much more than the second highest bidder.

I thought he might make a good hooker but definitely not a centre.

It was probably DA, Daniel Anderson.

Quinn could possibly be turned into a hooker but don't think LKT can. Hooker is a problem come around halfway through next year. Or earlier if Cook or Liddle is injured. Look away now some of you but it might mean Kyle moving to hooker. My understanding is that it's only a theory he could play...

It also suggests Ilias is definitetly leaving.

He was a dud signing but let's hope this supposed swap with Sami is confirmed soon.

Did Bennett say that?

Cook has learned to stay in his lane. I wonder if Cook's influence was overstated. Like they were just being polite to Cook saying his advice was crucial. I hope it's true. Still no official word from us or Gold Coast. I mean, the Sami Ilias swap. I hope it's true.

I can't really remember him playing. Very rarely watch Gold Coast games and don't remember him standing out in Origin but for 1.3 million a year, if that's true, he'll be on more than Ponga, Walsh and about the same as Cleary. I can remember those 3 playing plenty of times. But a lot of media...

That makes a lot of sense. Tino will get better still but 1.3 mil a season is truely eye-watering for a prop.
