More noise about Izack Tago and the Dragons next year ......... had a look at his highlights and yes he's fast and elusive and very strong one on one. Didn't see any video of his defence. Some year if Daniel Anderson achieves this with Panthers paying some of the freight.
Not sure that noise is correct. I thought that was addressed by a very reliable source in here that the rumour was bullshit. I’ll take his word on that as he’s always spot on with mail

Yep. He would be a good buy for us. Has some zip and swerve and side step. The hallmarks of a good centre. Not sure about his defence as well but coming out of Penrith I'd say he would be pretty good at it. But, I think he is unlikely to be a Dragon. I'm sure that as he is signed to the end of 2028, Penrith will keep him at their club.

He is signed until 2028 David, i guess we wait and see. Im sure DA is after a centre and another winger and the world of twists and turns are there for everyone to move on. We are in a very unenviable position of securing most positions for 2027, we wait now for other teams to move players on who are not in their future vision.
 
Lack of talent is irrelevant. It's all about trying hard. Got it.
Gees Morgan Morgan seriously? 4% of all registered players in my day got to pull on a 1sts jersey.

Its not a lucky dip or a lottery draw. Its hard work over many years. Flanagan has the ability to play 1sts that's proven 160 times over plus I suggest this week as well.

Is he the best 6/7/14, definitely not but he tries and having his old man as a coach would have been tougher on him.

If he had been used exclusively as a 14 people's opinions of him may have changed but we will never know because you can't rewrite history.

We can agree to disagree amicably on this point.

Just checked Zero Tackle (how credible they are I don't know) and they say he is signed for 2028 as well.

  • 2027: I have a feeling none of the rumoured centres mentioned are realistic, most of those rumours have been outright squashed by various sources also.. certainly for 2027 anyway, we are essentially out of money for a gun centre due to Suli seemingly staying put + Gutho still on the books.
  • 2028: that could be a reality, but I think we want to have a crack at Herbie and/or Bostock first.. but have a feeling we wont get either.. if Herbie gets plucked off by the Roosters or whoever (and hes arguably the best outside back in the game and will get well over 1mil).. I think the Dolphins will use the remaining cash to retain Bostock.. the kid seems rly happy there... I think the only way we get him back is if he actually wanted to return home.. but it doesnt seem like it, and even his sister moved up to the gold coast which is like an hour away from Redcliffe.

We just going to have to rely on Buchanan, Heidke, Tsougranis, Suli to have a crack As Gutho centre is way too laughable
