Extended bench:

• Tyrell Sloan
• Hame Sele
• Jonah Glover
• Kade Reed
• Loko Jnr Pasifiki Tonga
• Dylan Egan
• Nathan Lawson

I wonder why not Latu.

Wondering the same. Still this is the Flanno way, not to rush the youngsters, which makes the Kade Reed inclusion baffling as surely Flanno has locked in our play makers for at least the immediate future. Or has he. What are we paying Lachlan Illias and where is King-Togia as is he no longer our next play maker cab off the rank?

I can only guess due to this state of affairs

We are thin through the club in half and dummy-half.
LKT, Shadi and Kyan all out long term.

Reed is going to be fast-tracked into first grade if there is an injury in the first several rounds. I don't think Glover should be in contention for first grade.

I must say he looked to be carrying a few extra kilos or alternatively didn't lose as much stomach muscle as say Lawrie has.

Luch always looks like that Jo. Blocka has finally lost that annoying gut flab? Yeehah. What about adding muscle to those thin calves and thighs. If so he is my starting prop if we cant bring a seasoned big bopper here like Klemmer.

Also like that the Rabbits have named Trell, fit Trell is scary and will be a good test for us especially named as captain

Latrell out hammy

 

[Edward]

He's fit for round 1.

Seems you were right until he went down with a suspected Achilles injury this morning and is now looking to be out for the season. Terrible news for Souths and Murray himself but it's a hard game. Those are the breaks. Now it's up to the Dragons to take advantage of their misfortune.

Flano also said that Liddle would spend time at 13.
Guess it will all depend on the game and opposition.

Yea I love it, both great players that have a lot to offer. Not relying on Lids having to do 80min stints can only be a positive.

Imo liddle has good size for a small ball playing lock. He's also willing to run more which suits that lock role. Them splitting the hooking/lock role can only be a positive for their bodies too.

This is going to be a bonus for the team .......

I’ve absolutely put the mock on south’s after tipping them for top 8 the other day.

Murray who is argue is their best player out for the year and Latrell out for the first few wekeks potentially, yeah they ain’t making the 8.
Glad we play them round 2

Yea I'm right there with ya lol, talking about them being together and fit for once and then boom. Hopefully we make the most it but I'll be sad if we don't see peak Trell in origin this year again.

I never really rated them but now they are up a certain creek without a paddle.

 

[TheRev]

Its again a reminder about how fragile a footy squad can be.. one year ur sweet, and the next you have serious injuries before the season even kicks off..

I still think Wayne can do a job with that squad though.. like im hoping they fail of course.. but Wayne is Wayne... that Gray kid is a gun.. but hes also inexperienced... but there is no replacement for Murray.. hurts NSW also, he always does something special in origin.

 

[Mailroomsgi]

They’ll probably give Davvy Moale the minutes he finally deserves which is one upside for them.

Any more injuries to their middle forwards and their absolutely cooked.

surprised they aren’t in for Klemmer for 2025

Well him the John Schuster news, maybe they want to clear a spot for Klemmer, just throwing that out there, also surprised the eels arent in for Klemmer

Souths and Parra salary cap issues are pretty well documented.

 

[Mailroomsgi]

Tigers paying most of the freight for his contract apparently just to get him off the books

Signing Klemmer for a couple of years with the Tigers picking up a large part of his salary would be an absolute steal for the Dragons me thinks. I'll be shocked if it happens. Flanno will try and pay hardball with the Tigers but the Rorters, Melbourne or Penrith will swoop in to get him.

 

[TheRev]

Dont rly understand what were going to do with this extra 2025 cash we are saving.. frank and klemmer r much the same contract price.. supposedly we want compensation for Frank also.. my only hope is it enables us to buy out a couple of 2026 contracts under this years cap.. but Flanno seems to have a real problem with 'wasting' money by paying someone out.

We won't get any compensation for Molo, we need him to move on, so we can get that top 30 spot to bring in Klemmer, if we start haggling for $ or for some young player swap, may take too long and we lose out on Klemmer
