Recruitment & Retention 2027

So how old will he be when he gets here Rev, and what about Burton, is this kid the goods or what ?

30

I thought we had learned our lesson with signing players around the 30 mark, Sami is no spring chicken either. I would have just backed TPH and possibly get the new coach to work on Sloan, I know he's had chances but coaching by someone else could be the answer.

Oh if he doesn’t finish his contract yh

I imagine we’re trying to get him for next year not the year after.

Sua going to the eels

 

[dragonheart]

It seems we can sign new players at the moment but there is a pause on retaining existing players.

 

[Xuiz]

Su’A gone

 

[GCRV]

Su’A gone

Good. Good player, one of our best, but Egan, Halangahu, Nick T are the future.

 

[Xuiz]

Su’A is one of our best players but let’s be real we aren’t competing for the next 3 years so might as well play the young kids.

I think we can compete next year.

 

[redv4life]

Keaon will play on the edge 10000%

 

[Xuiz]

I think we can compete next year.

I’ve been saying that since 2015, I’m trying reverse psychology

 

[redv4life]

I think we can compete next year.

Based on what?

 

[GCRV]

Based on what?

Reed halfback. Pack that includes KK, Couchman's, Stewart.

 

[RandomDragon]

Window lickers will get upset, but this is good, we have 3 other back rowers on half the price, who can do at the very least the same job.

 

[dragonheart]

If Drinkwater comes in 2027 along with KK on board, this is definitely a step up on Gutho Holmes and Cook, so we are heading in the right direction. But we need desperately fast legs and tenacious younger players with a real desire for the try line.

Happy for Sua to get a 3 year contract, he’ll go better with Moses as his half

Su’A and cook were key components in getting Keaon to the club, and they both might be gone next year…

KK happy just to get the money and the long term deal. He will go through the motions like most overpaid players get when they come to the Dragons. Su'A isn't that much in my opinion. Hardly makes a break, misses tackles and not a good passer of the ball. I would prefer a rangier person in the back row who can dominate and split the defence and set up the centre.

All the best Su'A.
