I know there is a lot of talk about needing a prop but personally I think this group is easily good enough. If Couchmans remain fit, everyone is going to know them next year. Same goes for LPT. Sele is good if he can go for a few games in a row uninjured. Klemmer or Gular is ok for the opening 20 min until the smaller, more mobile forwards can dominate.

Forgot all about him. Good depth for reserve grade. Might find it hard to make the reserve grade team when everyone is fit at the start of the year.What about Kerr?

I have a feeling that Kerr will be one of the bench players that Flanno will utilise. I'm not going to praise or decry him but he won't be in the KOE Cup.

Rumours are that we are in talks with Philip Sami of the Titans and in the middle of a 10 day cooling off period to sign a reported talented centre/winger from Penrith and his name is David Fale. So backs will be bolstered to replace the several that will be going. Need another good half and a good prop and I think that the roster will be filled with local juniors on the rise to complete the 2026 squad.

It is good though from what I've seen of Sami, he's not very good.
Is it an area we could help him improve?
He usually plays well and troubles us every time. I’d be happy to sign him. Strong, fast and scores tries.

Maybe. I don't really know. He's big and fast but like Josh Kerr, doesn't seem to trouble defenders much.
Ok. Hope you are right.
Fale is not young, 27 next year
From what I’ve seen he will be a better signing then Lawson

Blow for Ivan Cleary and Panthers as outside back reportedly signs with Dragons

Wonder why he hasn't played first grade regularly until now if he's any good?
I believe he his only 24 years of age.

Fale is *edit I'm not actually sure it's not well documented... . Its 24 or 25... Has some to learn but even as a winger he has the athletic size and prowess.
Sami just turned 28,prob a 2yr deal, tie us over till we can find better.. Atleast he's an actual first grade winger, it's been a real weak spot for us.
We still need a fullback replacement though, you can see why top30 for Ramsey is quite difficult right now.. With Lawson and feagai on the books also.. And ct for that matter.. Who is surely close to being moved on.

I like the way they make it look like the Dragons are the worst club in the world for raiding the Panthers. All clubs do it, how many Dragons have we lost to poaching. On another note I see Daine Laurie is being cut loose, this is a guy we should be looking at, and seriously at that.

There have been rumors about Ramsay and the Roosters, it will piss me off if he is allowed to leave the Dragons.
