Recruitment and Retention for 2023

Got it now he will never play hooker for us. Agree with the money and in saying that he most probably walks away. Knowing the Dragons lack of recruitment and retention they will probably offer him 900k plus to stay meaning we won't be able to buy a decent prop. Time will tell
I don't think he'll play hooker either because he doesn't want to and Griffin won't ever make him. And also because I think one or more of Declan Purcell, Connor Muhleisen, Sam Hooper are going to make it in first grade.

Are you against Hunt playing hooker or just don't think he will?

And another highly respected player turned coach has been shown the door at the Dragons. Remember that tough old prop James Graham? Well he has been a coach/ advisor to our pathways players making that huge leap from juniors to grade. As I said in another post the club internally is in free-fall, the playing group split and because of financial mismanagement cannot purchase any players outside the current 30, our salary cap issues are starting to hit home now. These issues albeit internal have an effect on any clubs on field performance as you have all witnessed in the month of July. Look at Manly last night, that is a divided team. But don't fret 2025 will show us a glimmer of hope. How very sad the whole club has become. I won't be renewing my membership next season.
Read about it. Seems to be some internal conflicts. The lower grades are obviously doing quite well so why would they want to replace the staff for the lower grades?

Anyone who disagrees with Griffin's "vision" is out of there!

He doesn't want to because that will push his BBQ mate McCullough out of the team

I think that says it all. And neither of them want Griffin out as that will almost certainly set in motion McCullough being dropped and possibly Hunt replacing him. At least for next year. After that, he might have to find a home elsewhere.

Over the last 2 years, the club has become an organisation to manage the affairs of the Broncos U20s premiership winning team of 15 years ago.

Dogs fan here, is Jayden Sullivan on the outer and is it towards us? Haven’t seen him much but i know he is very talented and respected by yous. Is it almost definite that he will leave if Hunt receives a contract extension come Nov 1 this year? Cheers.

Nope. Going to send Hunt on his way and keep Sullivan.

Too soon to say. He's had only one chance at halfback in first grade and messed it up. In the lower grades he's been a star for a while.
