Hmmmm fair point. I never said he was a really good 5/8. Just ok as a stop-gap measure.

I said it's ok by me to fill in so the Sook goes ...... Then find replacements ......

Surely we can find a better stop stop gap than him. Besides he has made it clear to his buddy Flanagan that he wants to play centre. God help us if he gets his wish. Off the bench or Ressies.

We all want the sook to go but surely anyone other than Bird. Is Warrior Luke Metcalf avail for this season as Flanno is apparently looking at him.

Agree but Flanno will be play him there if there is no one else ....... What about might sound crazy and I know it want happen , big and strong 5/8 Lomax ....... That way it keeps Sloan at fullback .......

You are not the only one to mention this. Zac rarely steps into a receiver position when he goes inside for the ball, usually takes a run. Dont think organizing comes all that naturally too him, not like his sometimes freakish off loads to an unmarked Rava. Centre or full back for mine.

I remember someone mention that almost a year ago. Laurie Daley and Brad Fittler both started out as centres. I think Flanno ruled it out because he wants more than anything to give Kyle a chance first.

If we could get a good organising halves partner for him, I think it would work. Doesn't even have to be a really good halfback. See Chad Townsend at the Cowboys. His running game is non-existent but he compliments their edge backrowers and outside backs who have outstanding running games.

Sloan is still a work in progress at the back. If as Flanagan has mentioned switching him with Zac, for defensive purposes I am thinking until the kid strengthens his body and his tackling technique. Or does his interpretation of switching actually mean during a game.

For me it would be in game time , As for Lomax at 5/8 the way we play not much speed in the team close to the line 30 m out I say he would go ok with time ......

They make it all about Hunt again!
Dragons missed three big fish in a week. Patience for Flanno’s rebuild is already running out

I'm not in the business of defending Hunt. I didn't want him re-signed about this time last year. But the fact the media keeps making it all about Hunt isn't Hunt's fault. They are not quoting him. Only speculating.

On the subject of lack of speed in the backs, it was about 2 weeks ago news that we were "close" to re-signing Suli surfaced. But since, nothing at all. I rate him as a player but not in a backline already plagued by its lack of speed.

Heard it from me first. Penriff to let Luai go provided Douhi goes the other way for next season.

Shane Millard is newly installed into his role as recruitment and pathways manager and aint wasting any time as he already has his eye set on building a Dragons Academy in New Zealand, which will be run by club legend Jason Nightingale.

Yes we have extended him by three years I read. Betting tho Flanagan wont put him in the pack.

Is this a desperate signing or is it a depth signing ????????

I know he isn't in the Warriors plans.

As for Heilum Luki and Kulikefu Finefeuiaki, I think they would be huge signings. I rate both of them from the little I've seen of them. As for Volkman. He's only 21. Might come good.
