Recruitment and Retention for 2025

Ryan

SGI Jersey Flegg

Looks like BMM is staying on at the club in some capacity, either player or another role. All the Polynesian guys in the club look up to him & have credited him with helping them integrate with each other a bit more. That's leadership.
Good to have such people around the club. But it won't be as a player. Time he hung up the boots.

I wonder if RCG is really off. After all, which club can offer him 3 years when the Dragons aren't willing to consider more tan 2?

He's a battler, I want someone who can bend the line or punch a hole for us. We desperately need one of those to compliment our current middles.
Yeh his PCMs are mediocre compared to RCG.

He's part of a system that already has NAS and Kamikamica who provide good go-forward for limited minutes. Compliment Welch well but we have an entire pack like Welch except for Molo who doesn't get through a lot of work or provide good go-forward.

He'd still be a pretty big upgrade for Lawrie if he can be shipped off to the ESL.

Joke or what? ZT wants Dragons to lose. This is the team they would like to see.

These are halves hitting the market on Nov 1. My choices in bold.
Jake Arthur, Daniel Atkinson, Tannah Boyd, DCE, Jake Clifford, Tom Duffy, Jackson Hastings, Bailey Hayward, Drew Hutchinson, Lachlan Illias, Sean O'Sullivan, Jonah Pezet, Adam Reynolds, Brad Schneider, Toby Sexton, Aiden Sezer, Blake Taafe, Braydon Trindall & Sam Walker.
We are only looking for a halfback, right? LKT went form Jersey Flegg to starting 5/8 in first grade in one year and very far from disgraced or embarrassed himself in first grade.

Jake Arthur = reserve grade 5/8
Tannah Boyd = reserve grade 5/8
Tom Duffy = who?
Lachlan Illias = decent 5/8
Jonah Pezet = reserve grade 5/8
Brad Schneider = reserve grade 5/8
Toby Sexton = not bad but has gotten found out over the last few weeks and will be again this weekend
Sam Walker = overrated and it will take huge money to lure him away from Roosters or prevent him going to the Broncos

If Flanno isn't happy with Dragons juniors the club needs to look at which clubs have long term halfbacks who aren't going anywhere.
Penrith, Dolphins, Tigers, Roosters (if they retain Walker), Cronulla, Souths (have that English halfback arriving)

We are interested in prop Cooper Jenkins, 23, who currently plays Q Cup for Norths Devils and had a pre season with the Dolphins.

Lachlan Illias = decent 5/8
Jonah Pezet = reserve grade 5/8
Brad Schneider = reserve grade 5/8
Read all are halfs and all played Firsts at some stage this year. They are also all about mid 20s.
