Wayne Bennett has no interest in luring him to Souths. I wonder why that is.

Have to rely on the clubs juniors to turn things around. A problem because the coach won't give any a chance no matter how well they play in lower grades or how bad his favourite journeymen play in first grade.

He is an astute judge of character

You are right according to media reports. Penrith first then Roosters then Gold Coast. Dragons aren't on the radar.

Flanno told Fifita he sees him as a winger but unfortunately, Fifita wasn't on the same page. Oh, and he also said Kyle Flanno was being eyed as Captain once Hunt retires.

Why not? Bet he's faster than Rava or CT and about the same as Lomax. A perfect winger for Flanno.

Fifita isn't coming anywhere near the Dragons, he's obviously made that clear but is it such a bad thing? Good player but a bit lazy for a 1 mil a year paycheck but most importantly, we have Leilua signed for 3 years, Egan and Nick T knocking on the door for first grade then a couple of those SB Ball backrowers who were so impressive.

Biggest problem might be that we don't have anyone to spend big money on. Will end up having to pay Kyle Flanagan 1mil a year because clubs have to spend 95% of the cap.

Still can't scrape together enough to make JDB a decent offer.

I've been told Su'A is looking more likely, we have a better deal on the table with a TPA aggrenent.

Nothing extra though for JDB?

Jdb looking at super league. I know he is getting of age but still has the best takling technique in the game and well worth keeping for another year or 2. He will be a massive loss

I said many years ago that his tackling technique reminded me of Ron Coote the East's/Australian lock.

But it's not only his tackling. He is top or close to top of all forwards in making metres almost every week, is often first receiver which is obviously Flanno's game plan and is the only middle forward who offloads.

I said 2 weeks ago JdB is gone. Chimes just doing hs job, got the offers from NRL now seeing what he can get in ESL.

So the offer he rejected is the final offer?

The young blokes coming through the grades "ArEn't rEAdY yeT"
and the best performing veterans are shipped off. So I guess Flanno will be busy raiding the rival NSW Cup teams for all the best journeymen their NRL coach no longer wants.

Compare Frank Molo's stats to JDB's. Yet, Molo was the one extended. Unbelievable!
