No Surrender

Let him go and bring Halangahu into first grade now ,if not we will probably lose him, he can negotiate with other clubs in 4 months perfect opportunity to let Lurch go.
Welcome Barry Beath

One of my favourite Dragons

20 May 1973, saw him score a try fielding the kickoff against Easts at the Sports Ground. Broke the defensive line and outpaced Allan McKean to score in the corner.

He was a tremendous player.

Halangahu should be brought into first grade irrespective of what happens to Luc I reckon. If Luc is playing Cup then he's not the reason Halangahu isn't getting picked. It's a head-scratcher for me.

So done my 15 seconds of research, Kayla Green is a NSW Police Officer who was Zacs partner prior to the perth move... but assumably would be keen to go back to NSW with said baby.. Zac looking to settle down.. has some months up his sleeve but the parenthood rollercoaster is underway.. be a different man I imagine.

I’d take him back in a heartbeat despite it not being a popular opinion.

Was at his last game for us against raiders and the emotion he showed at the end of the game was very genuine. Bloke obviously loved the club.

How was he doing in the 2 years before this and how much money is he on? On form he should be in the team but I'd guess his laziness and lack of professionalism isn't good for the younger forwards coming into first grade now or in the near future.
You make a fair point as he is being seen as making the supreme effort to knuckle down given he is off contract. There is an answer to this laziness theory, contract him for a yr at a time to keep him committed. Still that wont stop his unintentional but at times damaging wrong options that can hurt us. He is a bit of an enigma as he is one of few NRL forwards with genuine game awareness and ball skill.

Few mentions around the traps on Cotric (which hopefully isnt true cause hes struggled overseas and not that fast) and Schiller (who im far more interested in.. Wing and perhaps Ctr cover?), hes playing Friday arvo in NSW Cup, will check him out..

He's also leading Tries and Line Breaks from the wing:

Few random stats I noticed while I was there.. TPH leading the average run metres per game, and kick return metres overall.. and Webster leading decoy runs by 'a lot'.

★Big, fast but slow winger.
★Veteran well past his best.

Sounds like just the kind of player Flanno would have recruited.
100% but thankfully Flanno has left the building.. probably if we r interested Cotric would be our Feagai style backup on peanuts or a T&T, but I don't think hes worth the effort, 7 tries from 38 games for Catalan seems like hes rly struggling.. rly think we need to invest our money in young up and coming winger/ctr's, I love the Apa Twidle signing for Perth for example.. perfect, steal a young gun out who is ready to go... young legs.. lots of pace...

Schiller though def im interested in..

DRAGON ON BRONCOS’ RADAR

Dragons forward Luciano Leilua has been shopped to the Broncos as the ex-Samoa Test representative looks to revive his NRL career.

Leilua’s name has been put on the radar of the Broncos after he requested an immediate release from St George Illawarra.

It’s unlikely Leilua will leave the Dragons before season’s end, but it’s become apparent his future lies elsewhere.

Leilua, 30, played under Broncos coach Michael Maguire at the Tigers and Brisbane’s back row depth has been tested.
