Yes mate I have heard that too, but I'm struggling to really believe it. Parra just gave him one more year than the Dragons were willing to offer. FB sometimes comes up with a lot of conspiracy theories. I couldn't see the club stoop to that level.

Parra gave him a year with a club option for the second, not 2 years.

It's sounds like a bit too much but I don't understand who is going to replace him. Couchmans props, LPT prop, Stewart lock. So we need one more lock and one more prop for a normal rotation.

I dont think this is SF long term plan, if we keep him that is. Toby was being just as productive on the edge in both attack and defense before his injury.

Toby Couchman suffered a shoulder dislocation. Next steps will be determined at a specialist review later this week.
This was posted June 30 so I clicked Casualty Ward for an update, zilch only articles, some going back five years. Our website is a joke.

I've heard that Toby has joined his bro in Rehab, RVH.

Yep I'm with you GS, lets hope something can happen, but I really think its a tough gig now. I think there will be more on the retention side than recruitment. As for the new CEO talking it up big we shall see. I look back on all these years that the Gordons have been the owners, they look at the Dragons as a tax write off for their elite lifestyle in the Bahamas, nothing more. How often have they opened up the purse strings, let alone attended a game.

Has anyone ever seen old man Gordon attend a game??

St George Illawarra are facing a battle to retain off-contract rookie winger Sione Finau as NRL rivals circle the youngster.
The Dragons have expressed a desire to retain Finau beyond season 2025 but are yet to table the 23-year-old a formal offer.
It’s understood Finau is also weighing up to two other offers tabled by rival outfits in recent weeks, including a three-year deal.
Expressed a desire to keep him but yet to make a formal offer........ This surely can't be true. I just hope Flanno knows what he's doing. Who are the wingers going to be next year?

Excatly what write off would a billionaire get from a 20 million dollar company that has made a profit the last 5 years.

When did they purchase it because it certainly wasnt profitable then. And as for a profit well that certainly hasnt been reinvested into the club, not with the way we have been managed both in admin and players for the last 15 years.

With the way Finau has been treated in the past I know what I'd be doing if I were him.

Yes sir. Well if Flanno gets his way, no doubt that will be case. But anyway:

Kyle Flanagan & the coach

Does anyone have any idea what this talk about how KF 'led the comeback' or 'had a good game' last week is about? Did I watch the wrong game? I know I wasn't inebriated so it's got me confused. That came from Stuart in the PC

With all of those departures GCRV, Daniel Anderson will have hit time cut out refilling the vacant positions.
