Has he played underage international footy like our own Finau Latu has. I have seen a lot of him and rate him big time. Big test tho will be once he makes Ressies or he may even jump that and go directly into Firsts as Loko Jr may too.

So far we have only one coming here next year, he is 32 and has probably played his best footy. Is he the 'big fish' one scribe said the Dragons were landing. He is also a hooker probably the least position we need filled. This club goes from one calamity after another.

We have missed out to the Knights on a recruiting guru named O'Sullivan. They also want Blaize Talagi one of our targets, so which recruiting side will now be favorite for his signature.

Who is going to be the recruitment boss now?

Isnt Shane Millard head of our R&R. So what is supposed to be wrong with him that the BOD has to go looking for this O'Sullivan bloke. Am expecting Millard is rather pissed off at this moment.

I read somewhere he's been having health issues.

Everything has gone quiet in regard to Blaize Talagi. I guess it means he has told clubs to give it a break for a bit so he can play well and hopefully for him, increase the offers.

We are still in contention, Blaze is waiting to see who the Parra coach will be.

Billy is still our recruitment manager, he did have a health issue at beginning of the year but is ok now.
POS role was going to be more Recruitment and GM replacing Haran.

I'd been told they were trying to offload Millard 'before' his very very serious health issues.. I dont think he is in our future plans, but we would need someone to replace him.... and I believe the board said no to Fulton, and we know about POS.. nor sure who would be next in line.

I wonder if Trent Barrett will be looking for a job shortly.

There's a lot of front-rower shuffling talk, hopefully we end up with one.
We might even get another set of twins.

Both Saifiti's? Isn't that going a bit overboard? Frank Molo was extended early this year. JDB, both Couchman's surely must be locks for middle forwards next year. Then there is Lawrie who has been good since coming off the bench. One more prop should be enough.

Was all good mate until the Lawrie bit ....... Never bends the line , slow as playing the ball , cant remember the last time he made a break or off load ...... With new signings can't see him being in top grade ..... It's not from lack of trying , but the game has changed that much its faster and the 6 agains are killing players like Lawrie ........ Soon it will be a team of big athletic fast players forwards , wingers , centers no difference between them , and 9,7,1 the only ball players ......

Burgess brothers? They fit Flanno's recruitment strategy.

My old friend,
jodragon40 says there is always a spot for a hard working, metre making prop on not much money. I think he has a point.

Blocka is not that sort of prop, just the old fashioned stick the leather under the wing and run hard at the line type. Sad to say, but reckon small props like Blocka and Jake Turbo are soon to become extinct as they are being overwhelmed by the giant and mobile Pacific Island-decent bookends. Only have to look at the majority of forwards in our underage rep or international footy.
