Rava's positional play is a sick joke. Feagai offers sick joke positional play and one on one defence.

Another horrible season with not many if any highlights. At the season start I believed that we would finish between 12th and 15th based on our coach and current player roster. Unfortunately it was worse. Do not expect any Flanagan miracles next season unless we can attract the players we need in the engine room. For the last 5 yrs we have had no better than a 3 cylinder engine and in today's game that doesn't allow us to be competitive.

Watch this space for no beneficial recruitments by Flanagan.

Talk about Kyle Flanagan being signed by the Dragons. Please, someone say it isn't so. Good luck in the ESL.

Except for this unverified story about Kyle Flanagan, no news at all about the Dragons. No Mad Monday, no crisis, no recruitment, no one leaving. After tht last game, I think Billy Burns can forget about being re-signed.

The circus has moved on. Souths, Bulldogs and Tigers have made us old news.

The good news. Knowing personally how players really don't like to travel so far to train. Flanagan has decided that the Dragons will train exclusively at Kogarah whilst he is the coach. Now he may be able to attract more interest from player managers.

Really??? But the high performance centre in the Gong has just or is about to be completed.

This is why I couldn't give you a 9 rating. No way this will happen. Maybe you heard training will move fully away, not fully to Kogarah.

New St George Illawarra coach Shane Flanagan has made his first big move opting to relocate training to Sydney for the first time in more than a decade.
The Dragons have trained permanently in Wollongong in recent seasons with their Kogarah-home seldom used.
But Netstrata Jubilee Stadium will now become a fixture for the Dragons playing squad with the whole team to train at the venue at least once a week every Friday during the pre-season. They will maintain a presence during the year too.

Big fail if true. On a minimum wage I guess it's not a big deal as a depth signing. Can fill in at halfback or hooker but would still prefer not.
The 24-year-old, whose contract with the Bulldogs expired at the end of the 2023 season, has endured a tumultuous time at Belmore, struggling to lock down a long-term run in the first team and finding himself out of position, finishing the season as a utility.
Flanagan has played 79 NRL games to date and will now likely compete with Jacob Liddle and Connor Mulheisen for the hooker and utility roles.

I think a lot of the Woolongong blockes will also like going to Kogarah once a week.
I wonder if
jodragon40 or anyone else knows, what's the normal schedule for training.
I know the day after the game there's a recovery and video session. The day before the game there is only the light training 'captains run'.

In my day we actually trained 2 nights a week. My understanding is nowadays depending upon the club teams it's 5 days a week. Mondays are recovery days, swimming, light exercises on the mats, stretching etc to get the soreness out and blood flowing. Tuesday was review day where you watched a replay of the game and the coach identified issues, then a training session to work on the identified issues and work on your teams attacking and defensive structures. Wednesday cardio/ weights day and individual skills training. Thursday captains run, a light training session.I think a lot of the Woolongong blockes will also like going to Kogarah once a week.
