Recruitment and Retention for 2025

[RedV01]

Danny Weidler is laying down the law. Demanding Dragons sign Gutherson on a long-term deal without delay. This is needed because a dozen other clubs are beating down the door, trying to sign Gutherson. I'd bet he was doing something similar with RFM. Another rumour is that Flanno is talking to Gaz about coming out of retirement. Because every young player in the squad, like U25, needs an experienced journeyman to mentor them.

This club is just going from strength to strength.

Maybe Flanno wants Gaz to play in the forwards because Ryan and Toby, "AreN't REadY YeT".

You're right, maybe time for break.

First we let promising half Ashton Ward go now another junior half Levi Valesini,18 has been poached by the wooden spooners.The kid has already played first grade against grown men for Albion Park in the Illawarra league and had a ground-breaking 2024 by being named Group 7 under 18 player of the year and also South Coast Laurie Daley Cup MVP.
Why nurture our juniors, both Illawarra and St George then let other clubs benefit from their talent. MAKES NO BLOODY SENSE!!!!!

We have
Lyhkan King-Togia
Kade Reed
Aaymon Fitzgibbon
Who at the same age were already playing SG Ball and regular local FG
All 3 signed long term deals and are training with FG squad.
We also have Lewis Sargent Wilson that we have moved up to Dragons SG Ball squad to fit him into our development.

Who out of those players do you suggest we let go to fit Levi in, who didn't make the Steelers squad or the Magpies squad at this stage.
I bet you have never seen this kid play..
This is a fluff story by the mole for success.

Been hearing about Aaymon Fitzgibbon for a while. Is he as good as they say? I was very impressed by that halfback Rorters poached from Illawarra. Was it Rodwell? I wonder what he is doing now stuck behind Sam Walker.

I mean, has Sloan been playing too well not to be replaced? I wish he turned out much better. Maybe he can be after a spell in the lower grades. He's not even that small compared to a few other fullbacks. And not that young anymore either.

I reckon centre might become his spot. But probably not at the Dragons because Suli and Holmes are there for the next few years. The ESL is probably well suited to his game. More flair but less tough stuff.
