Recruitment and Retention for 2026

I've had a feeling Hame would retire at seasons end to focus on his clothing brand and what not, as well as the amount of injuries he's had in the NRL. I think the club are looking at his injury record, and telling him hes free to move on, but lowkey, doing that to force him out. I think instead of looking elsewhere, he calls time on his playing career and focuses on his business venture and family.
We really have had a poor return on this guy, I feel sorry for him with his injuries but we really cant afford to carry him anymore with our juniors coming through. And I would love Lawrie to follow him along with BMM and Eisenhuth.

BMM and Eisenhuth aren't contracted past this year. But would be good if Lawrie and Sele got deals elsewhere.
Yep agreed Eric, I know we are struggling in the middle, but really I dont want to see any of these guys get a shot in front of our juniors, I know Lawrie is playing tomorrow, lets see how he goes.

Wouldn't surprise me if he becomes best period. Had a barnstormer against much more seasoned professionals or semi pros last week.
I am still calling for him to get more involved as he does spend too much time twiddling his thumbs out wide waiting for the play to come to him. Get stuck in Jake.

I think only Wild rated him.
Back in your box old fella, if your gonna twist history to take jabs for no reason at least be accurate. Calling your comment last year to sack the coach if he's re-signed stupid isn't me rating him. Why don't you go back to telling us how Allen is more accomplished then Gutho, he sure is proving that isn't he. Let's stay in 2025.

I was overdoing it but clearly I was right about re-signing him. Mike Molo is way better and he can't get a look into first grade. If you don't rate him but don't like me not rating him, that's all fine. I'll take the high road. Don't want here to become like other forums.

Settle down homeboy. That was me but you are not being accurate, which you should be due to the above comment.

Allan has bigger highlights I think. Been in more winning big games. Might be wrong. I know Gutho played in the centres in Origin and had shockers. I remember cause I was angry Lomax wasn't selected.

Once again, I think Gutho is good. But at the time, our team was too old and too slow. And Gutho was good in the first few games, not in the last few. I'd be moving him to the halves to partner LKT. His communication would be especially valuble in the halves. Holding my nose and putting Sloan back to fullback.

Now Eisenhuth is out of the picture, RFM finally dropped, Sele out injured the team isn't so old anymore but still slow.

And once again, this is a public forum. I'm allowed to state my opinion even though I know Dragons fans generally hate criticism of the coach.

So far Flanno hasn't done a good job. Lets be honest. He has excuses but can't judge him on what he might have done but what he has done. And so far he's a D. Griffin was E+ by the end. Mary was D -. Price was E -. Carr in his limited stint was a C.

💯 Redv01. We'll just have to be on the outer mate. Our coach has to certainly lift his game and earn his excessive pay packet.

I am giving Carr a B. We should have kept him as head coach. Is he still with us?

Correct mate. Neat side stepping of a guy bordering on trolling and we dont tolerate trolls here, do we guys?
Just a miscommunication. Should just give me credit for being right. Or attribute to me things I never stated. Which way?

Blows my mind their letting Liddle go, blokes got 6 tries in 270 mins of footy and they think they can do without him

As a club we must have a fetish for letting strong contributors leave

Side note - Hamish Stewart today was fkn phenomenal, coming of age performance against 2 of the best forwards in the game

The win was needed so badly, im emotionally exhausted.. but we got it.. a close one away from home.. so good.

Takes some of the pain out of the Egan ACL, 2xACL's in our starting 17 squad in a season.. awful.. and I think its time to play NickyT and leave Luciano on the bench.. or vice versa..

And yeah losing Liddle is gonna hurt.. fans will lose their minds.. but so be it.. lets hope we can make a decent signing in the meantime.. we needed some positivity leading into the bye week... it will help with making any signings I hope.

Gutho was immense today and Allen although he cost us atleast 1 try with his lack of pace, made atleast 2 try saving 1on1 tackles and some great bomb catches and hitups.. was rly proud of the bloke today tbh..

Yeah I’d be on board with Tsougranis playing. Luciano was one of our worst today and should have some pressure from Nick considering his form in cup

I could take the Liddle news better if I knew the replacement was a genuine star in the making like Da silva or Pattie(extremely wishful thinking for Pattie)
