Recruitment & Retention 2027

Last year at the doggies when Sexton dropped back to Cup he partnered with Woods in the halves
That forced ONeill into that bench role where he played a little hooker/lock
Unsure how well he performed in that role though

So in terms of rounding everything out ...
Of the players off contract we have seen either a news article on Dragons website (Guler/Lawson) or Thank You insta stories (Cook/Feagai/Lawrie/Leilua/Sele/Sloan/Sua)

All that is remaining is Tui (hope that one is published today).


Then of course the hope that somehow we can shed one of the 5 x under contract under performing money sinks (Suli/Flano/Gutho/Holmes/Kerr)

Do you mean Tu? I thought considering the money he is on, he's the least of our trouble. KF is the absolute priority and Gutho is next. Then Suli, Kerr.

Giving up on Holmes? I thought with a much better backline in 2027 he might go ok.

Nope .. Setu Tu contracted on low value for another year - i am ok with that - his cup game at centre was something to ponder as well ..

I am hoping the official Christian Tuipulotu post happens saying thanks but f*ck off.

Is there any indication he can play hooker? Seems it's popular nowadays to automatically think a halfback can make it as a hooker. Maybe due to our old halfback being a much better hooker than halfback.
No, except a lot of halfbacks have transitioned to hooker and he seems to have the build and possibly the toughness for a hooker. And, the fact we have too many halves and not enough hookers. TBH its the only reason I can think as to why the club extended him recently.

Is he still under contract for another year? FFS, Flanno has lost it completely! He was way worse than Mary, Griffin and even good ol chinless.

Nah ... Tuipulotu's contract is up this year - we know though that the club does have a track record to extending planks ... So until i see the "thanks moneyman" insta story i am still worried
