Ai but it's still nice to hear and it also means they aren't going to be on our 2027 roster =)

yep ... the fear is that like this season we didnt complete the 30 man roster the way we wanted so made silly hires ...
we dont want to go into next year with insufficient numbres and pick up the phone to Cake or CTe

am rly curious what the roster will look like.. was just writing about O'Neill elsewhere and thinking he will absolutely need to be moved on.. every 30+6 spot will be valuable for keeping the up and comers from Jersey Flegg and possibly Cup wrapped up.. someone like Hammoud might take it if the guy can stay healthy :-/ and Hodges has had a break out season.. all these U21 kids are getting to an age we need to make a few decisions..
Definitely not sure what the plan is for the other spots, I can see Gutho retiring in some way, I can't see Kyle going early.. Suli im on the fence but genuinely not sure who we would replace him with at short notice.. and assume Val is staying on now.

Getting Gutho off contract even if Dragons have to pay 1/2 is the holy grail at this point. Free up 450k to hopefully re-sign LPT.

Slim pickings for available outside backs now with only the likes of Murray Taulagi and Will Penisini that really jump off the page.
Looking further ahead, players such as Herbie Farnworth, Bradman Best, Deine Mariner, Jojo Fifita, Paul Alamoti, Ali Leiataua could be available and would all be the exact type of player to provide outside back strike power that we desperately need. Best and Farnworth my choice but doubt we can afford what the Pommie is likely to be worth.

Not Gutho in the centres David. Too slow. Perhaps give Atkinson a crack there if push comes to shove and we cant land a suitable outside back for next season. Either Gutho in as a ball playing 5/8, off the bench or add him to our coaching staff.

The re-signing of Young will now fast-track talks to lock down several of the Dragons young gun players who are due to hit the open market on November 1 according to Tim Watsford.
Hope those young guns are the Couchies, Loko, Jake as #1 priorities. Also hope that does not mean we will be unable to upgrade our other younger guns, the Meafou bros and the Papuali twins.

Hope so. All Tim has done so far is proven he is a liar. Also Halangahu but might have to lose him or LPT.
