The story is that Metcalf wants out of New Zealand, because he doesn't want to play 5/8 with Boyd halfback. He basically wants to be the halfback and run the show or play full field as James Hooper said tonight.

I agree regarding Bostock. I think he even looks better at centre than wing. He did say, he mostly played centre as a junior.

Ward has impressed me in the few games I have seen him play. He looks to be very good technically. He is good at putting players into holes. His lack of size is a disadvantage. It my memory serves me correctly, Marzew pushed Reed off to score one of his tries.

I would play Reed at 5/8 if we signed Metcalf. I think he will sign with Canterbury and form a good halves combination with Galvin at 5/8. I am wondering if Burton 5/8 with Reed halfback would be a good idea?

We should have offered Purdue 1 mil a year for 3 years and played him fullback. I think he will be excellent for Nth Qld at fullback next year, while we take their offcut for 900K a year.

I have been watching Sami a lot closer than usual and what a poor signing. I am not even looking forward to him being in our side next year, let alone the year after and the year after.

The second one definitely shouldn't have been a sin bin

I laughed at your comment that Dean Young could be the first interim coach to be sacked. Classic. lol Our next 6 games or so are also on the difficult side. We could be 14 loses 0 wins after our first 14 games of the season. That would probably cruel Dean Young's chances of being our head coach...

Flanno didn't cause this mess. It was a mess when he took over. He wasn't able to fix the mess. Next year we should be stronger, no matter who the coach is.

I am not knocking the signing of Drinkwater, but Dufty has put into 2 very good performances for Souths over the last 2 weeks. We could have got him for 500K a season for 2 seasons and saved 400K over the next 2 seasons and 900K in 2029. By 2029 Burton should be well and ready for first grade...

In Alex McKinnon's Foxsports article,in regards to us signing Drinkwater the headline to his story is 'Dumbest move': Brutal 900K reality Dragons must cop. In the article he says we have Burton, who will be 18 next year, who he considers a future superstar and who should be our next fullback...

I just read that Penrith can only offer Jenkins sub 400K a year. We should offer him 500K for 3 years. He may take up the offer.

Boyd would be the best option available for a half

Very well put.

I don't rate Kerr at all. I keep forgetting about him altogether. When he does play, I hardly notice him. Leilua would have to much more effective than Kerr at prop and be able to play way more minutes than Kerr plays.
