Lomax is the first?

Second is Kyle?

Nope, the secret discussions are going on now.

In the meantime, the Lomax game day details have been released by court official;



Let’s hope for good weather to get a solid crowd in.

So far as I know, no-one’s got the broadcasting rights.

The learned Supreme Court Justice hearing it may reserve his/her decision so the result it might not be announced on the day.

They’ll be no big screens with kfc being munched on while we wait.

Any appeal, I hazard a guess it’s off to the High Court to seek leave to be heard to argue “ the vibe of the thing.”!

So there could be a replay of sorts.

I would be happy for us to sign Lomax and give him a run at fullback, like he was promised many years ago. I am quite certain he would have been better than Slone. If he goes to Melbourne and gets to play fullback there and kills it in that position and even plays origin at fullback. It will be a hard watch for us Saints fans. I would also take Lomax at fullback over Fa'alogo, who is yet to fully impress me. Fa'alogo may turn out be be a good fullback, time will tell.

We disagree for the first time alas.

He abandoned his post when desperately needed.

There’s just no coming back.

Hi Frank

I think you mentioned the year 2011 in another post. The year that Bennett last won the comp was in 2010 and not 2011. 2011 was the last year that Bennett coached the Dragons and they finished in 5th place then losing in the qualifying and semi finals to Wests Tigers and Brisbane Broncos respectively.

Yeah, sorry about that. I keep getting mixed up, with 2011 being Bennett's last year here and that being the last year of us making the semis before our wilderness years,, with the exception of 2018. I will correct my post. Thanks for the correction.

I still find it difficult to believe we finished 5th on the ladder that year, after leading the comp and one bookmaker, namely Sportsbet paying out on us winning the minor premiership halfway through the season, because we looked certainties for the minor premiership. I had backed us to win the minor premiership with another bookie and for a decent collect. I think when Bennett signed to coach Newcastle in 2011, he switched off and started planning/recruiting for Newcastle and handed over the reins to Steven Price. At the time I think I thought we should have signed Michael Maguire, who was coaching in England at the time.

Do you see Wests winning a comp with Bula at fullback? I don't see Bula as the fullback who is going to win Wests or us us comp. I certainly don't see him as a million dollar a season player.
I will add that Wests are overpaying Luai to the max. He is on 1.2 mil a year. I think he is only worth about 800K a year. I don't see Wests winning a comp with Luai on 1.2 mil a year and Bulla on 900K a year. They will be lucky to make the top 8. I think Terrell May is one of the better props in the game and his brother may develop into one of the better centres in the game over the next couple of years.

To anyone who thinks I am taking the conversation of thread topic. I am replying to Dragons Chris and talking football. I will also add that I respect everyone to have their say and express their opinion, even if I don't agree with it.

As I said in another post Bula won't be going anywhere in my opinion it's his manager playing games

Back in my day there was this thing called loyalty but that is just a distant memory now

Ok, well strictly speaking it’s not totally SGI related.

I’ll talk in a cryptic poem riddle thing as I’m not sure it’s public.

I played at SGI
Then I was moved along
At my new club I did say
I was unwanted by Flanno.

My time at my new club was sad
Not so many games
I fell out of favour too early
Alas, it was all in vain.

But I’m only being moved along
To make the extra room
So my club can buy another player
As part of their new broom.

The player is tough had injuries
Now lives near surf so gold
But secret meetings are being held
to bring him back to Sydney cold.

That can do for the moment, there’s two players for you to have a shot at plus 2 clubs involved!

Good luck!

If anyone wants to guess…

I can pm a moderator with the answer to keep me honest at their request. But they need to swear on the memory of Stoney not to reveal anything. That’s a pretty sacred vow I’d say.

Lachlan Ilias is now with the Titans but surely we don't want him back.

I’m not where Ilias came from, but no it’s not about him.

Flanno was very diplomatic about him. Too diplomatic if you get my drift.

It seems to me that IIias was immature and didn’t follow instructions.

Kyle played for the Aus PMs 13. Technically it's a rep game.
