Gutho has gone from our player of the year to falling out of favour at record speed! I'm not disagreeing. Need more speed in the backs but there is also Suli and CT. Not criticising them but they do lack speed like Gutho.
Agree mate we lack speed right across the park , but in Guthos position he will be exposed like a shag on a rock , when players with speed make a break ...... He needs to be in the team somewhere but not as last line of defense , then we have Sloan that has speed but no ticker in defense thats why for now Holmes needs to shift there .........

I think all signings for NRL, KOE Cup and lower grades are confirmed on the Dragons website. There have been many reports from Zero Tackle, Instagram and Facebook etc stating that Nicholas Quinn has signed with the Dragons - d

No they are not, or else there would be a lot more announcements.
Some longer term ones are.

I repeat myself again, Zero Idea is not a good source, at a guess I would say they my be getting info from some lower end mangers trying to promote their players.

As it stands Quinn is not signed, he has been offered a Cup contract but is after weeks as well.

Holmes shifting back isn't bad but I still think Gutho or a couple of slower backline players need to go, not both. If the team tackles much better Gutho won't and shouldn't be called upon to make that many tackles.

I only put a link to Zero Tackle at the bottom because I didn't have any better idea. I never read the news stories there. I only check it for how long players are contracted for and who is on development deals.

If anyone has a better idea, please share it.

Good site for checking contracted players and reasonably accurate.
They get their info from NRL site that is a lot harder to find.

As for stories nothing wrong with posting them and talking about them but treat them as rumours and nothing more

Too many times members have carried on over a story that turns out to be bullshit.

Sometimes you have to wonder if some posters are just stooges from Zero Idea posting stories for clicks.

Lets stick to doing what the Panthers did, grow from within, it worked for them.

Only way at this point. And will also bring about sustained success.

I seems to be what every club strives to do. But Penrith were a are rare case where all the top players in their team came though the grades at Penrith. Most clubs try to do it with one or two big names from outside.

It doesn’t work if u can’t keep or identify the best juniors to keep

hopefully Anderson corrects that, still stings just thinking about Finau Latu going elsewhere
Would be much worse to lose a very promising juniors back. Just because we have so many forwards. Where was Latu going to play? Lock and Stewart was going to be on the bench?
