I hope they didn't give in with him about Hook staying on ...... Said before this is all looking like the big set-up for D. Young to take over from Hook ...... Good or bad if there is no other option I'd take my chance with Dean , at least he bleeds Red and White .......
Speaking for myself, I didn't want him staying beyond his current contract. How many years of failure does it take for Head-Knock Young to realise the current set-up isn't working? But it's not the end of the world if he signed for around 750k max. If he signed for close to 2mil, which is what I read, it's a crime for which Head-Knock Young should be arrested!
No way. Surely not. At pretty much any other club, you'd have to say NO WAY but at the Dragons with our front office led by Head-Knock Young, seems anything is possible.
You would think , 12 years of failure and it looks like continuing , if you were in a job that required you to bring success to an industry and you failed miserably you would have been SACKED ...... Yep not this lot ......
The wooden spooners are cleaning out the playing ranks. We've already gotten their 3rd choice hooker so look for a few more of their rejects to be signed.
You dont like Albert do you. Remember he has only been in the chairman's chair for a year. He also has to juggle factional differences within his board. Betting he was out voted as he'd have preferred both Hunt and Griffin gone so his son could return to his spiritual club.
Until this year that wasn't the case. At the end of the day, it's his job to sign off on recruitment and retention decisions. Signing, by any measure, an average halfback who will be 34 when he stats playing under his new contract for close to 2mil over 2 years suggests he's had too many head knocks to really have any idea what he is doing.
jodragon40 thinks about this?
Isnt that Flannos job?
Flanno is in charge of "list management". WTF does that mean? Head-Knock Young is the ultimate authority with recruitment and retention so the buck stops with him.
It's true the buck stops at the CEO or the BOD but as far as the NRL teams performance on the field, the buck stops with Head-Knock Young.
He will decide Sullivan's future at the Dragons but Craig Young decided to extend Hunt. That made Sullivan requesting a release inevitable.
I'm surprised it took him so long to ask. After Head-Knock Young insulted him by stating he should be happy to bide his time behind Hunt until he is 25! That was ridiculous.
I know the feeling....
Cheer up please you two. There are a few things to be optimistic about. Or at least not so pessimistic.

Yep starts on the 16th. The thread awaits.
One last word on Mr Ego.. read his interview this morning. No mention of doing what's best for the club, nothing about because of his greed we may lose two of our most promising juniors. It was all me me me.
